      @@PhilyBowden I'm assuming your account is eligible for 'Super Thanks'. Is that something you'd consider enabling so we could show some appreciation direct via TH-cam? If you've already considered it and decided against, don't feel you have to reply why etc - I know youtube takes a hefty chunk. but it'd be good to have the chance to give something spontaneously rather than a patreon signup. Thanks again!

    Great tips Phily! Running Run2Paris next week which should be 4 half marathons over 4 days but 1 of my teammates pulled out so will be 1 Marathon and 3 half marathons and I’ve never run a Marathon before 😬😬

    I don't care how much I hurt, I'll take a warm bath over the ice! 😆 Great tips and info! I only do trail races now, and trail marathons aren't as common, but anyone who can run a marathon can run a 50k. It's a completely different world, not focused on pace, and so much fun!

    Great advice, having only done one marathon last year I broke it up into 3 sections 10 miles, 10 miles then the final 10k and that helped. I also ignored what my watch suggested as a time and just thought treat it like a super long run, with the main aim being to finish without stopping.

    • @PhilyBowden
      @PhilyBowden  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great way of thinking about it! And YES always ignore the watch suggestions, they are often so wrong anyway!

    Something I've noticed in doing 8 marathons is that someone who "looks" less fit or much older than you *will* overtake you in the second half! (In fact, I should now be that person. But I'm not).

    I came back to running last year age 61 after a 30 year break (was still cycling ) Managed Belfast marathon 3.13.21 and planning Sub 3 at Dublin in a few weeks .I think knowing your body and listening to it helps lots.And as you say not being a slave to plan.Keep up the good work 😊

    I’ve only done two marathons but would agree getting to 20 miles is brutal. Any tips on diet would be helpful.

    • @PhilyBowden
      @PhilyBowden  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Double the amount I have! Definitely not an expert here but I worked with a sports dietician in my build up which really helped make sure I was getting enough calories for the training, especially carbs and protein!

    Can't underestimate the come down afterwards either.

  • @Trackdayist
    @Trackdayist 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video. I’ve not run a marathon yet, a half was painful enough! I’m tempted to skip road marathons entirely and do a 50k trail run (slower with better fuelling). Thoughts? Do you do any trails or would that be bad for your track and road races?

    • @PhilyBowden
      @PhilyBowden  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Oh interesting take! I’ve not really raced any trails no, cross country would be the closest to that. Love doing some easy runs on the trails though I think a trail marathon or 50k would see me off.. I’d probably lose concentration and fall flat on my face 😂

    • @Kelly_Ben
      @Kelly_Ben 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's exactly what I did, and I don't regret it! A 50k might be a bit longer than a marathon, but the training and races themselves are so much more relaxed. Running a marathon in the road isn't high on my list, it'd have to be a very cool race. I wound up running a trail marathon to get my mojo back after a DNF on a brutal mountain 50k, and it was mostly a blast though!

    Here's one for you Phily half way around a marathon is mile 20 (brickwall)... true
    But when you run your first ultra - there is no brick wall at mile 20... (get that thought in your head and you will not struggle at mile 26

    • @PhilyBowden
      @PhilyBowden  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      🤯 I don’t think I’ll ever run an ultra but I like the psychology.. pretend it’s a 32 mile race so the wall comes at 26 miles maybe?!

      @2spoons 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@PhilyBowden I was so irritated trying for a marathon the Tissington Trail and lockdown stopped that so after all the training I ran 7 laps of the near town... each lap is 7 miles
      I asked lots of tips of Ultra runners, and they all said its in your head... you know you can run, crawl and walk them all, and all of a sudden run again... well thats an Ultra... and the Ultra is only at its minimum 31.06 miles only 6 miles more than an a marathon.... and the tips I had where its only 6 more miles..... can you run and easy 6 after a marathon (then thats an Ultra).... or can you run it at a progressive pace - which is what I did.... 4:47:04 the fastest and first Ultra I've run ..... then ran 2 more that year ..... we all have doubts in ours heads thats the only hurdle - get out there!!
