    In this video I tried to run a marathon in 60 days. I've always wanted to run a marathon, and I was excited to start my marathon training. In this video we talk about my running cool down, runners body maintenance, running technique, running cadence and tempo and show my first marathon experience. Hope you guys like it!
    Have a great week guys! Cheers.

      It's worth it Krista! Download a running app to help keep you going. Set a goal for yourself! It may not be in 60 days, or even a year, but when you get to participate in these races where everyone is cheering you on there is no better feeling.

    • @Antony_Oscar
      @Antony_Oscar 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I recommend setting 5K as a goal first, and then 10K. Then a half-marathon. Slow is better than too quick and prevents injuries! And do some runner specific strength training 1-2 times a week, because that prevents injuries as well.

    Be smart with this video. The takeaway advice (that is not given by the way) is : take the time your body need to adapt (certainly not 6 weeks for a marathon). Everybody want to have instantly what they want (modern life). Just take the time, enjoy the process, listen your body and adapt.
    And in the big picture you will gain time. Because you will be less likely to be injured ;)

    I was training for a marathon (I'm definitely not a runner), eating clean and working out. Lost 60 lbs during the 8 months of training, started fasting because I wanted to lose a bit more before the marathon anddddd I got really sick. Went to the doctor was physically drained and was told to eat more. So I ate and ran and got better, the time was getting SOOOOO good and the distances kept growing but something was off. My body inside had this weird pain inside that came when I was at my most relaxed. Well, 1000 miles later and 70 lbs lost, I'm pregnant! So it's been seven months since finding out and I'm still running every other day but the marathon is on hold. Maybe a half after I give birth?

    I've been running for a couple years now. Went from zero (and I mean zero, no ancillary working out either) to a half marathon at month 11. It was a lot. So much, in fact, that I developed ITBS a week later and spent most of the next 3 months not running.
    Which is why when I saw "marathon with 60 days of training" I thought, "this dude is going to hurt himself." The 8 week recovery seemed about right since that will allow strains, shin splints, and stress fractures enough time to heal. Hard to say what you had without an MRI, but clearly the resting worked. I've spent nearly either resting from two separate bouts of shin splints and the slowly grinding mileage back up by 10% a week. It's extremely frustrating, especially since the rest of you is fine.
    Glad to see the finish. It's too bad nearly all of the races since March have been virtual since the race atmosphere is very unique and it evokes all sorts of unexpected emotions. I nearly cried after my first 5K race and the first half. I also get butterflies in my stomach when approaching the end of every race, but never during the training runs. It's amazing, and I hope you (and all of us) get to enjoy it again in the near future.

    Pro tip. Carb loading only works if you do it for at least a week before hand. Of course there’s nothing wrong with having a lot of pasta the day before a race but it’s not helping you build up your carb and glycogen storage.

    At least you trained for it. I'm honestly a bit annoyed by the videos popping up all over TH-cam of people attempting to run a marathon or Iron Man without any training. They seem to take it as a joke when running isn't a joke. Runners are athletes who put a lot of physical and mental energy into their training, and sacrifice countless of hours and much soreness to get to where they want to be. I, myself, am a runner and consider myself an athlete, and as a runner I understand how much I have to sacrifice to get to where I want to be, and I have high respect for this sport and my fellow runners.

    • @ktbrunner1862
      @ktbrunner1862 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      _aliem2 I think the way it works is that running on the forefoot actually works and stretches the muscle, while heel running just jars and shocks it.
      Something like that

    • @taylanjadeDPT
      @taylanjadeDPT 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I was thinking the same thing. Should’ve asked the physio about forefoot running with a calf strain. I was worried he had a DVT initially, but I’m sure they screened him for that.

    • @nrbeck1

      Fore to midfoot strike is ideal. Too much heel to toe drop in a shoe can jack your calves up though.
