Managed 115miles on my touring bike and a camp out. Must have been a weekend for tall guys going timber as i planted the bike on a steep gravel path. All ok more padding than you. Hope the face is sorted for the wedding photos!!
Thanks for this, Mark. This past Sunday, I passed out from dehydration at KM 34 of the Berlin Marathon. Tried to get up, legs ignored me. Trained properly but executed horribly. Made almost every mistake possible on race day. Working through it. Massively humbling. This vid helps. You're a good man. Thanks.
Watching through your older videos because I really like your newer ones aswell. And maaan do I get pumped watching this. I might build it up even bigger than it is, but running til you pass out and then climb the alpe in PB pace just makes me feel like I dont have any valid excuses to not work out and push myself harder!
Interesting how your asthma is worse in summer and better in winter. Mine's the opposite - when the damp, cold weather rolls in, the commute to work gets harder (or did in the olden days before Covid when I commuted to work). Congratulations and best wishes to you both for Saturday!
Mark, you are an inspiration to all of us average weekend warriors to be above average. I just did my first triathlon last weekend and I’m pumped! I want to be above average! 💪👍😎
I agree... lack of fuel and water on a hot day most likely your cause of fainting. Although you didn't need to go to such extremes to justify wearing makeup on your wedding day though... we live in a very accepting society in the UK! Well done and Best of luck for the wedding, hope it's an amazing day! Keep up the good work.
I enjoyed this so much, that I sent it to my brother in Kent, an avid amateur cyclist. Then I watched it again. Not from some sadist viewpoint, but simply because I found it informative. As an older athlete, 65 next week,and one who likes to push it sometimes. Being father to a soon to be 9 year old, I’d like to be around into my eighties, thus my healthy lifestyle, even more healthy than Pre blood cancer treatment. I actually ordered some electrolytes in view of the hot weather, and the fact that I love training in it. Keep up the good work Mark. You rock👍🏽
Very tough stuff. Thanks for sharing what not to do. But find what to do is very tough too. I'm a high fat eater but not endurance. Maybe i'll try some of the longer runs. My longest is 8 miles.
I am glad you are ok, just gonna comment and put like on this, cant watch it. There were cases like yours that ended up badly... I especially remember case of young man/father that went running during hot summer day, long run... They found him after hours of searching lying face down on a running path, dead. Its one of more serious cases but it is not uncommon ending up in the hospital in ICU. Dehydration plus heatstroke is really dangerous. This summer I went on a short run (like 5k or something) and I weighed myself before and after, there was more than 1 kg of a difference! I usually sweat like a pig but it was something else. So for everybody - on a hot day go for a run in the morning or later in the evening. If it is really hot day maybe skip a run, it is not worth it in the end. Stay safe, have fun!
Great post. Just to add to this that hydration for a long run or similar starts 24-48hours out, not simply drinking on the day itself. Glad to see that Mark is ok and no serious consequences from his little incident!
You nutter! You should have called it a day. I understand the mentality. I was a never stop ever runner, but then I ran a marathon on a stress fracture and ended up on crutches for 2 months, then had a lot of issues with my calf trying to run again. It was not worth it 🤷 know if I think it's serious enough I stop
I can feel your pain. My first half marathon a couple weeks ago I blacked out and collapsed barely 100 meters from the finish line. I pushed myself that little bit too hard because I was so close to my goal, I ran out of water and there were no water stations in the last 4 kilometers. Woke up 15 minutes after the cut off time.
My family came to support me at my first 50k. But they ended up spending most of the day taking another chap to hospital after he passed out - having been on a strict Keto diet several weeks leading up to the race. Congratulations on recovering in time for your big day.
So I have asthma as well, and I have an (red) which is for everyday use morning and afternoon before bed, and the (blue) which is for exercise. I use this before I run or bike, and I always take it with me, because as you say it can vary in the seasons on how bad it is. Therefore my question is, don't you take you exercise asthma medicine with you on the run, and why not when there can be situations like these? From a fan from Denmark
Very important constructive comments for you! As a former professional, cyclist and research methodologist, please consider the following ideas. There’s two ways to cope with extreme exercise. One is called integrative the other is dissociative. I think you’re using the second kind at first it seems very effective you ignore Pain and you push the problem with this is that you can’t regulate yourself perfectly for moment to moment the other way is more painful, but if you learn to notice it carefully and work with yourself. This will never happen to you again do some reading on this it’s going to increase your performance not decrease it, you’re a really terrific person. Good luck with everything.
If you suspect fueling being an issue, you might be interested in monitoring your blood glucose via CGM for a while. Sounds strange, but products like Supersapiens are up and about these days.
Mark hugely entertaining as per usual - although you do appear to be upping the ante with real blood. If I ever ask you for financial advice can I precede that with prior knowledge of your glucose/oxygen levels, etc. Anyway, have a great celebration this weekend - we'll be waiting for an 'end of 8 week catchup' some time next week.
I’ve noticed that the blue asthma inhalers this year have not been doing the same job as before and I’m pretty sure it’s a different mix cos it taste different. I took it several times and it did basically nothing so I swapped for another one, maybe worth looking at !
Wow….that’s an ouch moment right there….how does pavement taste by the way!😳 But big respect for jumping on the bike the next day when most of us might have taken more time out. You know what you’re doing and won’t repeat the same mistakes again. Can’t wait to see you complete the other challenges…..or even smash this one some other time 🤔. Hope you’re fit and well and looking sharp for the weekend…..all the best to you and Jen on your wedding day 👍🎉💐
Great Vid as always, hope your on the mend, take care you old fella, (Says he at 58😂) don’t want you to have another accident, so get working on that bloody speech 🤣🤣 Wishing you and Jan an AMAZING weekend 🍰🍾🥂👍
Hi Mark, Love the video's, very inspiring (this one not so much :')) I had a 245 KM bike ride last sunday. It was really exhausting, took me way to long, the garmin was pointing me in every direction except for the right one, hot as hell, couple of times out of water, not enough food, got lost..... but it was worth every meter. Felt like a huge accomplishment. Congratulations for this weekend and get well soon, Lars
Sometimes when it goes wrong, as long as you survive, the sense of satisfaction is even greater. It’s almost worth it going wrong just to feel so good 😂👍🏼
Maths while running is hard - I screwed up a half marathon run by turning around a few km too soon. Between miles, km and halving the distance for the turnround point it all got too confusing. Was in a new area too, so no familiar landmarks to check against... d'uh!
'You think this is bad - you should she the other fella'!! Tell the missus not to worry, a stoved mush is in right now. You now look like a cross between Jason Statham and Dolph Lundgren - nice! BTW, with all this training - what kind of wedding night are you expecting? Keep up the great videos - warts and all. Much appreciated.
Even though dehydration and lack of energy is the probable cause of your fainting during running there could also be a heart-based problem (arrhythmia) causing it. I mean, it's not normal to pass out during running even when under great training load. All I'm saying is that you should probably go check your heart with a cardiologist and rule out any dangerous causes. Just in case... :)
I'm 99.999999% sure it's diet. On days where I don't eat enough I get a little head rush if I get up too quick...it was just that and then some! )and yes, I know a head rush on standing up is probably a good time to eat some food!!!!)
It’s one of those things we almost all neglect or feel too embarsssed to do. Almost every exercise programme contains a warning to “check with your doctor before undertaking strenuous exercise” but none of us ever actually do. Coincidentally I was just watching a TH-cam video yesterday on a top level triathlete which had a heart attack during a triathlon. I’m not suggesting that Mark in particular needs to be concerned (I think his calorie deficit or dehydration was the likely reason for his collapse) but your point is definitely a good one in a wider context for all of us
Epic! You should see the other guy. 😉 Well done on pushing the limits - Remember when we were kids? Run , fall over, get up, repeat. Respect, your experiments are inspiring. 👍
authentic, honest. Passion for what you do. i really appreciate that and see you soon on Zwift.... stay well. have a nice wedding and stay healthy. ; ) M.
Ah don't worry, I feel you! Cycled a year ago back from work. Suddenly woke up again in the ambulance car. Apparently I had an accident and landed straight onto my face, similar to you, just a little harder. Got a few stitches and have now a gab in my beard. So don't worry, could have been worse ;). Would be also interesting what happened in my case: I have a blackout of around half an hour. ^^
We all have days were our bodies just say no, regardless of prep. I just go with it and give in to my body. Some time's it works the other way I may have had a hard session the previous day and my body's feeling good and go for it. If it's not happening for what ever reason just go with how you feel.
Hope you're back to well over above average and hitting 100% health wise now. Great endurance to push through....congrats on the marriage and looking forward to more and more vids......and the above average t-shirts !!!
Hi Mark, Sometime I get asked “why I run” and jokingly I answer “because I feel when I stop…” but I don’t believe that applied to you😂. I also have a similar issue to you re Asthma but I know full well that it is different for different people e.g. unlike to it bother me more in winter particularly at night. Your “episode” during the run maybe due to dehydration which in turn causes a drop in blood pressure. I experienced a similar episode some years ago …. though my dehydration was caused by too much drinking … a work XMAS party that started 4pm in the afternoon to 2am the following morning … I got home OK and was coherent but then fell through the “fibro” wall in the toilet….. …. My wife thought I had a heart attack and demanded I go to see the Doctor, which I did and he said that it was alcohol induced dehydration which in turn causes a lowering in blood pressure …. I have learned my lesson and have not done it since … and oh, I have scar in my forehead to remind me not to!😂
A person we knew, went mountain biking. Didn't attach his wheel too good, it fell off and his mouth straddled the bars. Broke jaw. Then had his wedding that next weekend. Then for their anniversary, got in a bar fight and got it broke again, just before the1 year anniversary plane trip. Be careful life can curve ball you at any moment.
Mark. I watch all of your videos. This one was quite compelling and entertaining. Please address this again as you may have more theories of what happened on the run. I am curious of how hard your body felt it was working. For example, how long during the run were you over theshold? Just curious. Thanks again! Congrats on the wedding. Cheers.
I take this video more as a warning/showing how NOT to do it rather than motivation - pushing hard in training is important but actually collapsing/passing out is not a good thing in any way shape or form. Training consistently and smartly involves alternating periods of acute fatigue and recovery, not grinding yourself into the ground to the point where you pass out.
It’s neuromuscular fatigue/failure caused by extreme exertion in zone 7 after a one-hour zone 3+. Most people are just not capable of pushing themselves that hard, and never experience it. In that respect, he’s _way_ above average.
Glad you’re ok mate! I sorta thought that is going to be a click bate but then I know you won’t do it… and long and behold, the surprise that you actually collapsed! I am a doctor and lots of things went through my mind, but fortunately it was just dehydration. Keep well my friend and let’s bring on those six packs!
Oh Mark, 6 days before your 💑 wedding, not a good look for the wedding 📸, at least you're OK and still have all your teeth. It must be done weird planetary alignment because I'm also not feeling it at the moment. It did make me laugh though. 🤣 keep up the fantastic work, loving your video updates and watching you torture yourself...🤔🤣
I don’t know if you have but you should get your sodium tested. This lets you know how much water you need in general and how much you need on your runs.
Watching you before a bit of zwift motivation this morning, crazy to see the condition you was in! But the blood definitely was a good tool to capture attention😂 Silly question, do you not feel as though the water bag weighs you down/suffocated you mentally in any way? I'm 1 of those who needs to exercise with the less on the better, even topless.
I know he’s been in a hard deficit working so hard to get in perfect shape for his wedding but I couldn’t agree more, you can only push so hard before your body simple can’t take additional stress. Rest up, Mark
Touch of diet brain maybe regards the marathon math and eh....not having your previous Alp time in front of you. 😁 Either way, motivating and entertaining and helps me dig deeper on my own training. 👍
Brilliant post as always. Enjoyable and concerning to watch in equal measure I guess. I’ve mentioned before I’m same height weight power etc (at least I was before you went marriage weight control) but I’m a bit older……..and for what it’s worth on the zwift training I’ve been doing recently (ftp 320) I’ve really been struggling to breath….no asthma or anything, just struggling to breath in the quantity of air my brain said I needed……and that’s without the calorie deficit your under. So, hopefully just the air quality / pollen or whatever caused that. An amazing physical performance by you nevertheless. Well done. Chill out a bit now and make her day special. Re read that last sentence. Cheers. Mart.
We have all had that nightmare session where things go wrong and it all falls apart…best thing to do is not repeat any mistakes you may have made. Good luck with the wedding!
I hope you're okay. Good god! You have amazing mental strength to push through until the body fails! I guess it's another story for the speech. RE: the difficulty breathing, can I address the elephant in the room and ask if you've had a covid test? I had it earlier in the year and wheezing was one of my symptoms.
passing out reminds of when jonny brownlee was helped by his brother to cross the line. Maybe a similar issue happened to you because of the heat and dehydration, which caused body heat to get too high- th-cam.com/video/8a1eEtGAuiY/w-d-xo.html
So, I had a fun weekend 😂 Everyone else getting their cardio in I hope 😁 👍
Managed 115miles on my touring bike and a camp out. Must have been a weekend for tall guys going timber as i planted the bike on a steep gravel path. All ok more padding than you. Hope the face is sorted for the wedding photos!!
You sir are an absolute bloody legend. Your videos are getting better and better. What an inspiration !

Trained properly but executed horribly. Made almost every mistake possible on race day.

One thing I love about your channel is how quickly you let go of set backs. I think that’s the key to your success in the long run if I had to guess.
Interesting how your asthma is worse in summer and better in winter. Mine's the opposite - when the damp, cold weather rolls in, the commute to work gets harder (or did in the olden days before Covid when I commuted to work).

Body off baywatch, face off crimewatch.
Best of luck on the big day!

Way to go champ, Congratulations for Saturday. You know she loves you, because she didn't kill you. lol
It was touch and go!
Saw your post on Reddit regarding this event. Amazing effort.
Unbelievable video Mark 👏🏻👏🏻
You have awesome self belief,congratulations on your future wedding 🍾👏🏻
My family came to support me at my first 50k. But they ended up spending most of the day taking another chap to hospital after he passed out - having been on a strict Keto diet several weeks leading up to the race. Congratulations on recovering in time for your big day.
Kept diet and a 50k sounds like the worst combination in the world
I wish you all the best for your special day on Saturday 🙏🏾👏🏾

Suffered myself this year with asthma exactly like you and yours pink inhaler from my Dr has helped massively, back running well and happily
Mark right now your wedding is more important that pushing yourself to destruction 😊. Kudos for the Alpe climb 🚴♂️.
All the best for Saturday, I can only imagine the bollocking you received in your dazed state 😄
You are a huge inspiration to me sir 😃🔥

You hit the deck like that on the Thames Path and I’m not picking you up. See you on the start line 😉

Good question - I will come back to it as I want to avoid it in future!!! Next long run will be a good test - sunday (wedding recovery run!)
You’re so motivated i hope when i al so young as you a will do the same things to stay in Shape! Enjoy
I've been weezy this year. Pretty sure it's just high pollen levels
Nice disaster video :-) Did you ever consider breathing exercises? The ones from "The Oxygen Advantage" supposedly helped heaps of asthma patients.
I’ve just started doing some (and use a breath trainer device for lung strength) when I sauna now! See if it helps.
Hardcore. Thank you for the inspiration!
I take this video more as a warning/showing how NOT to do it rather than motivation - pushing hard in training is important but actually collapsing/passing out is not a good thing in any way shape or form.
Training consistently and smartly involves alternating periods of acute fatigue and recovery, not grinding yourself into the ground to the point where you pass out.
Isn't laying down after hard endurance activities not a good thing to do? Or is that just a myth?
Take care u plum 🤣🤣🤣
Great videos! What’s with the twitchy hands
when you finish these climbs?! 😂
It’s neuromuscular fatigue/failure caused by extreme exertion in zone 7 after a one-hour zone 3+. Most people are just not capable of pushing themselves that hard, and never experience it. In that respect, he’s _way_ above average.
Any chance of you taking on the “Uber Pretzel” on zwift?
Have a great wedding!
Glad you’re ok mate! I sorta thought that is going to be a click bate but then I know you won’t do it… and long and behold, the surprise that you actually collapsed!
I am a doctor and lots of things went through my mind, but fortunately it was just dehydration. Keep well my friend and let’s bring on those six packs!
Ha! The best Clickbait is when it’s real but still sounds like Clickbait 😂😂👍🏼
Oh Mark, 6 days before your 💑 wedding, not a good look for the wedding 📸, at least you're OK and still have all your teeth. It must be done weird planetary alignment because I'm also not feeling it at the moment. It did make me laugh though. 🤣 keep up the fantastic work, loving your video updates and watching you torture yourself...🤔🤣
yeah, missing teeth would have been very bad!!!!
gotta get that nose breathing going marky!!
any chance you might have had Covid and not really noticed until your run?
Did a test so don’t think so
Allergic to something in your fuel? Great Video. Going to give the Alpe a go now!
I don’t know if you have but you should get your sodium tested. This lets you know how much water you need in general and how much you need on your runs.
Watching you before a bit of zwift motivation this morning, crazy to see the condition you was in! But the blood definitely was a good tool to capture attention😂
Silly question, do you not feel as though the water bag weighs you down/suffocated you mentally in any way?
I'm 1 of those who needs to exercise with the less on the better, even topless.

That was painful to watch. Don't kill yourself buddy
Good luck with the six pack, it might distract from the black eye from the Mrs
Couldn’t agree more, please take care of yourself Mark, don’t grind yourself into the ground for TH-cam likes. All the best for your wedding day
Blimey!
Well done Mark, you are a proper triathlete now passing out. Hope the botox lip 💋 subsides before the wedding.
Fair pla yto you completely mad (in a good way) dehydration prob bought on by food soaking up some of the water invested
Great vid and there's always photoshop for the wedding pics. But that mug of yours may test its limits.
Just add some blur and be done with it 😂
How to keto or low carb athletes fuel. Coconut oil and peanut butter. Or pemican and cheese?
Bruh. It's a violent sport
Dude time to stop the fasting, eat, recover and get well. 👍
I know he’s been in a hard deficit working so hard to get in perfect shape for his wedding but I couldn’t agree more, you can only push so hard before your body simple can’t take additional stress. Rest up, Mark
English accent is simply divine
Touch of diet brain maybe regards the marathon math and eh....not having your previous Alp time in front of you. 😁 Either way, motivating and entertaining and helps me dig deeper on my own training. 👍
Brilliant post as always. Enjoyable and concerning to watch in equal measure I guess. I’ve mentioned before I’m same height weight power etc (at least I was before you went marriage weight control) but I’m a bit older……..and for what it’s worth on the zwift training I’ve been doing recently (ftp 320) I’ve really been struggling to breath….no asthma or anything, just struggling to breath in the quantity of air my brain said I needed……and that’s without the calorie deficit your under. So, hopefully just the air quality / pollen or whatever caused that. An amazing physical performance by you nevertheless. Well done. Chill out a bit now and make her day special. Re read that last sentence. Cheers. Mart.
I think there is an air quality issue right now - I'm waking up whezzzyy. Annoying bit about summer...roll on the rain 😂
We have all had that nightmare session where things go wrong and it all falls apart…best thing to do is not repeat any mistakes you may have made. Good luck with the wedding!
Alpe de Zwift-did you update your weight in the interface? PS avoid pavement boxing😭
Oh yes. Enjoyed typing in 95 👍🏼😄
Just photoshop the cuts and bruises in the photos and you will be fine! Great video 👍
Funny as hell...sort of
Things are going ghost 😮
I hope you're okay. Good god! You have amazing mental strength to push through until the body fails! I guess it's another story for the speech. RE: the difficulty breathing, can I address the elephant in the room and ask if you've had a covid test? I had it earlier in the year and wheezing was one of my symptoms.
(I hope the wedding goes well! Best of luck)
I’ve had to take a Covid test for a couple of races lately and all been clear. It did cross my mind though!
A much needed Burger King visit is waiting for you after the 8 weeks.
My 17 year old and I have a deadlift/nugget eating challenge lined up for early Sep!!!
Jesus christ! can tell in your face how much you've lost man! got some proper skeleton face action going on! 😆
Christ man glad you’re feeling better. Could’ve ended up in the canal. 🤦🏼♂️ not good mate.
Failure just means First , Attempt , In , Learning.
Mate 🙆
passing out reminds of when jonny brownlee was helped by his brother to cross the line. Maybe a similar issue happened to you because of the heat and dehydration, which caused body heat to get too high- th-cam.com/video/8a1eEtGAuiY/w-d-xo.html
