What happens to the mind is very interesting too.Thats the hardest to overcome.
you have to have a strong willpower
+Hob iT Yeh it's sad to see when people give up only because of negative psychologic things
no amount of willpower will allow you to finish a marathon if your body is not properly prepared for it
false
Hob iT agreed.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone who runs a marathon. The words "running 26.2 miles" actually sounds sadistic to say, let alone do. Respect to all the marathoners!!!
Well some internet stranger respects me now. I just finished my first 26.2 today.
Well, it is. The whole point of the marathon is to get he mega poor to run it for the amusement of everyone else. People of European blood tend to play football and rugby over it as there is more money...the marathon is basically made for morons to run.
LaMont Golden I ran a marathon in 3hrs 14m 25s
the longest i run is 26.2meters
LaMont Golden or 42.1432 km
I will never understand how can they keep that kind of pace on a full marathon. Is insane !
They train
+Luke Oberrieder Mainly genetics.
Joel B lol
plus Kenya's train at a a higher altitude.
they train.
I have so much respect for long distance runners. Being a sprinter, the longest distance I do is the 300.
+Katie Marie amazing how they practice for years daily & eating healthy food without lagging, they are so inspirational
+Katie Marie I run 5k's (3.1 miles) and do up to 8 miles in practice too. (around 14k)
Wow. Props to you I could never.
+Monkey D and +Katie Marie Thad really good I just ran my first marathon all full 26.2 miles
As a 4-time marathon runner I can genuinely tell you, completing a marathon is so so utterly rewarding and definitely not impossible! x
Running is so much fun. I was really wary about it, but after about the 4th time I went running it became way easier, and I even love how my mind seems to go on 'standby' after a while.
I know! It's like you're walking you just do it and no longer feel tired
It feels good because you're are way to comforable with your pace... you can get a lot more faster and go for longer runs if you push harder
Clorox Bleach I don't have the luxury of big parks in the small town I live; the only area without hard ground is a path around 3 little lakes (about 10 - 15 miles to get around all 3 of them including the way from my house to get there). Therefore the only way of increasing any training effects are increasing speed.
+Rimfaxe96 You should just do the lake route more than once or perhaps halfway around if you want to increase mileage while staying on softer ground. Also, since you don't know exactly how far you're really running, I would suggest simply getting something like Strava or the Nike running app on your phone. They both track distance and pace, and they're free.
Micah Nicolai I intend to buy some real gear next year; however I prefer to go swimming in winter when nobody goes to the public swimming pools anymore and it's already starting to get colder here. My waterproof MP3 player is ready. >:)
I've done 57 marathons over the last 20 years, including four ultras. Having half the normal lung capacity due to asthma means that I can't get oxygen to the muscles as well as I otherwise would, so my heart works very hard. Hydration is such an important thing. It makes a huge difference. Also make sure you're wearing the right clothing, as the only marathon I didn't finish wasn't due to my asthma, but because I wore insufficient clothing during a winter marathon and got hypothermia. Mental strength, which I've seen mentioned in the comments, and is very important also in marathon running comes with experience. That's why I value my 'bad' marathons. I can learn from them.
Richard Raw nothing but respect
Richard Raw lol nice
Richard Raw dude... You just inspired me to take the plunge. Asthma was my only concern and you just shattered it.
Asthma as well but still love running doing a 5k soon and my first actual organized run event

Well, if you put it that way, then yeah

One thing the video forgot to mention is the psychological effects of a marathon. After running a marathon on July this year I struggled to run more than 8k without hitting the wall. Every km was tough and had me wishing for the run to end. After a few weeks of this I realised the marathon made me forget that I love running for the sake of running. It was now a chore. So my next run was up and down my neighbourhood. I told myself I was going to see how far I could run but that I could stop at any time. I ran 12k and stopped only because I needed to pee. The more I share this story with other runners the more I hear them say they experinced the same thing
Odd, for me it gave me the strength to power through shorter runs at marathon pace because I remind myself that I was able to complete 26.2 miles, so a 7 mile run should be cake.
They should have like mattresses at the finish line.
totally agree, hope we see it in Tokyo 2020
+Yavor Petrov hope so
lol instantly stopping after all that will be really bad for health
or booze!
Instantly stopping would actually be worse than walking it off.
Ideal body type: *constant shots of East Africans* lol
Yet they dominate in marathons
Don't rule out Moroccans and Algerians they have the high altitude training climate as Ethiopia and Kenya

The marathon is divided into two equal parts. The first 20 miles, and the last 10k.
So accurate omg even in training I'm mentally prepped for the 1st 20 last 10k is a mental grind
i run 2km and i am dead
I did 7 mile surprise I was just little tired
Be consistent you’ll get there
Try just 1km every day for a month, you will increase resistance overtime then you can run 2km, 3km and so on progressively
I hear you! I love to run but not much further than one mile.
I can run 800m😂
I can't express how amazed I am when I watch that brave woman staggering and limping her way across the finish line. She was 39, and she knew this was her one and only chance to complete the race. She speaks about it very modestly, and she said she even felt embarrassed about all the attention she was getting. Her objective wasn't to win. She just wanted to finish, and not be disqualified. She came in at 37th place. There were 44 people in the race. Her courage and focus almost brings me to tears when I watch this. It's the most painstakingly inspirational thing I've ever seen in any sporting event.
I struggle with 5k, so I find those that can do this pretty incredible individuals.
Respect
What I love about running marathons is that it's not usually a race to win. It's a race to finish. Meet a goal. For yourself.
it's crazy what a body can do ..if you make it do..mad respect to marathoners..
Exam tomorrow and I am watching this...

Usually I race lower distances (1 mile - 8KM), but I decided to prepare for a marathon and give it a go because it seemed like an epic challenge. The day came and I ran a 2:48 which was a lot faster than I expected to; I just had the perfect race (it only got really painful with 5K to go, and I treated it like a 5K at that point). I have to say it's a very interesting event because even if you are mentally and physically prepared for it after training, you never know how your body will react on race day (did you eat right, sleep enough, did you fuel correctly along the course, is your pace slightly unsustainable, is the weather alright)? Seeing how I often cramp up on runs prior to half the marathon distance, I guess I was just super lucky that May morning; especially since going into it I had never ran more than 18 miles in one go and adding 8 more was a big risk. In the end it was an amazing experience overall. I fully recommend training for one and giving it your best shot, one of the greatest triumphs of my life so far and you will feel the same if you complete it no matter what speed. (Only bad thing is afterwards you'll likely not be able to move, I wasn't able to run again for a week because I could barley walk and my legs gave out on the way back to the shuttle LOL!)
Congrats on your time. That’s amazing
Yes, that's an amazing summary. How to get to the finish line is not just about training. All factors add up . That's why every run are different on the road during training, and with just focus on how to tackle all the odds, I found beauty in them. I am training for one. Hope I can do the same.
Wow, you completed a marathon and are the richest roblox player. What can you not do?

yea cheat day
chibba Is cheat day good once a week?
thats a lot but if you are just training for fun and a lot then its fine. One cheat day a week is okay. It should be around every 10-14 days per a cheat day
Wow, I remember watching this video years ago when I was really fat and there was zero chance of me ever running a marathon. Now I'm training to run a marathon in April.
How did your training go
The mind telling you to stop is the greatest thing to overcome.
Hi people.I ran 20 marathons and I am 34 years old right now.I won one marathon.Yes it would help if you were skinny.I am skinny.I'm 125 pounds.But just eat a balanced diet.Stay away from fastfood.Eat lots of fruits,veggies,whole grains,and a little meat.Drink mainly water ,coconut water,vitamin water.Train,train,train.Get 7 or 8hours of sleep a day.And you will be good.
What is a cheat day and a cheat meal?
Alonzo Lewis A day when you eat 'dirty'. Fast food, cookies, etc. Food that you like the taste of, but you wouldn't eat that during a regular 'balanced diet'.
Gábor Zámborszky From personal experience - no you don't feel the urge to eat unhealthy fast food. I got into a good diet and workout routine and did not do fast food for 4 months. Then ate 2 pieces of fried chicken which is my favorite but could not eat the stuff. Did not feel like food. I immediately washed down what I had already eaten with my vegetable juice and helping of fruit. In general I would say that your body adjusts to the new lifestyle and you no longer crave what you did earlier. Oh god I can't even imagine eating high fat foods.
Yes.Once you know what real food is,you don't want to go back to that Americanized,governmental crap that is killing people all over the world especially in the USA.I went through a stage where I pertened I was in the Rainforest and lived like the Natives there.I would only eat stuff that grew on plants or from the ground.Anything in a bag or that I wasn't familiar with,I wouldn't eat.I also listen to Reggae music,tribal music,and Native American music.In Reggae music it talks about eating healthy food and not the food of Kings or the food of Babaloyn.Spelled it wrong.

Amazing job at explaining the dynamics of the marathon! Top notch presenter, clear succinct and expert delivery
And here I am, feeling like my lungs will explode after running 2 kilometers.
I just ran my first marathon today. By no means am I a fast runner, and my body just isn't built (or conditioned enough) to go fast. But I did train. Even after training, I reached a certain point where it became physically exhausting followed by mental exhaustion. It really is "mind over matter", but my body will work against me after 20 miles >_
Congratulations!
@@Olympics can u make a montage on hot and Beautifullest athletes ????
I just posted a video of my Big Sur Marathon experience! Check it out and let me know what your experience was like!
awesome, gona check out..was there half marathon too?
During 0:6-0:11 - He is Mr. Bikila- running in the Tokyo Olympics in 1964 and won the gold medal also. What a man on the planet! He aptly taught the world that determination is key to success. Two back to back Olympic gold medals, respective of the fact he tried to run a marathon after the age of 24. Just incredible, salute to him.
Being a light sprinter is a huge advantage too.
Great job on the video.
That was so interesting! Thank you so much for all of the information
A lot of love from Portugal
It'll be cool to take a thermal camera to a marathon to see their temperature during different parts of a race!
They run at 13mph for at least 2 hours. For some perspective crank your treadmill up to its fastest speed. That's not fast enough.
Isabella Elvidge every treadmill i’ve seen goes up to 14 mph
Running on treadmills aren't accurate on distance covered.
I'm WAY slower on a treadmill for whatever reason.
@@lukehewko260 boredom?
After 15 seconds of running I start gasping for oxygen
U obese?
My twin here
We all did when we started. Do the couch25k (nhs). It starts you off at a slow jog for thirty second intervals and builds you up from there. I’ve been running 25mins three times a week now for several years and my fifteen year old daughter started up the couch25k ten weeks ago. She can’t believe how easy it is for her to now run for thirty mins. Ten weeks ago she was dying after 30 seconds.

I'm a long distance runner. Both in track and cross country. Some of these people are doing the time it takes for our fastest SPRINTERS, and this is their fastest jogging. Much much respect.
I aim to run this distance one day. My personal best 5k time is only 25min and im 33y old. Im also a casual smoker and drinker. Used to roadcycle alot tho. I can go nonstop around 20km but at anything lower then 6min/km pace on that distance and my heart suffers to much- 180plus bpm. I try doing some HIIT and hill sprint training now for getting fitter and hopefully loose 5more kgs or so would be ideal. Also having a sprinter body isnt helping.This year i am aiming for my first half and if all is well with no injuries ill tackle the real one nxt year.
Good effort man! ...slow and steady on the training...do your best to stop smoking. Good luck.
Ey dude,that is exactly same stats as me xd!!! i was in road cycling ,40 years,slow 5k at 25 min,longest run 20km!I just started running month ago and i want to do a marathon.I discovered a way to lift distance fast and safe.I'am now on 6.8 km ,and i add 20 % every 5 days (or more) but i don't run the full distance or i would get injured 100 percent sure,i run and walk.And I dont do heel landing ,i understand the proper technique(very important)
I like most events at the olympics, but for me the most impressive isn't the 100m, it's the marathon. Stick their average speed on a treadmill and see if you can keep up for like 30 seconds! How they sustain that for 26 miles is unbelievable.
That then imagine a human did less than 2 hour marathon. Kipchoge is well not human.
It was very tired to run very long time but clap to this people who are doing the best.
My bucket list is doing a marathon. I've done running all my life but I would be terrified of doing a marathon for real as I have asthma. Much respect to people who do this.
honestly this is me after 400 meter hurdles
they have the 400m hurdles in college articaa
ya that's a race...
Brendan Forde I know. I was talking to articca...
Fair, 400 hurdles is a brutal race, same with the 800
These athletes are insane. Each 2-miles they run, 13 times, is faster than me running 2 miles alone.
Make the music louder, I can't hear you!
I'm running my first 5k in Alabama in September, I'm also looking forward to running the 10k and the half Marathon aswell...
I just did my first ever marathon today. I now have a new found respect to all the elite and regular marathoners now.
This was incredibly informative...+1!
Furthest I've ran is 13 miles (half marathon) and it wasn't that hard, I felt fluid, relaxed and also pretty fast. I set out to run 8 miles but I decided to go 10 and once I ran 10 I thought I'd push for a half marathon. It took me 1:23 minuets and I felt so fast until 1 mile from the finish I suddenly hit the wall and got tired, but luckily I found my reserve strength and finished pretty fast. Half the effort is in the head it's about the right attitude, i took the risk of extending my run by 5 miles and going in the middle of no where but it payed off.
I'd say once you and run 5 miles quite comfortably and fairly fast you can just about run a half marathon if you drop the speed down a bit. The rest is mental so have the right mind set 👍🏻👍🏻
The second half of a Marathon is much harder, as your body also runs out of sugar in the blood. So you need to get food or consume some calories in another way during the Marathon.
Yeah of course but I'm just talking about general running attitudes and how the mind can affect you, but of course physical determines how well you perform the mental just keeps you going

My complete respect and admiration to runners. Wow. I could never do it.
Never say never
As a sprinter, this looks like hell. I run the 100m, the 200m, and the 400m, and even the 400 is definitely a challenge, the last 100 or so meters in that are a nightmare. still though, 59.1 PR, not too bad. I lack the endurance of such runners
Wow, my track season just finished yesterday at the district championships, I did a 400 and 200. I hate the last 100 meters as well. My pr is 1 min amd 4 seconds ._.

Very good video. Everything she said was spot on.
This should be in buzzfeed.
I've done a couple of marathon & ultra few years ago. There's this one marathon that was always memorable because I was able to record my best time around 5 hrs and 16 mins. Also, the guy behind me suddenly falls after crossing the finish line, and died hours later. I don't know if he didn't pace himself well (sometimes due to adrenalin) or know that he feels something but tries to ignore it because we were few km away. I couldn't even imagine how these elite do it. It really takes a toll on you mentally as much as physically.
There are two types of muscle in your body: white and red muscles. White muscles have fewer capillaries because they do not specialize in using oxygen, which allows prolonged contraction and fatigue resistance because using oxygen to get the full amount of ATP per glucose is a slow process. The trade-off to is that white muscles are faster to react but fatigue very quickly. Sprinters have more white muscles than red.
Red muscles have lots of capillaries because they use more oxygen, which allows them to generate more energy (ATP) for prolonged contraction. The trade-off with oxygen is that using it to make the most amount of ATP you can get is a slow process (as previously stated), which is not ideal for situations that require you to act quickly (such as a sprint). Marathon runners have more red muscles than sprinters.
On a related note, this is why sprinters will never beat a marathon runner in a marathon and marathon runners will never beat sprinters in a sprint. Completely different muscle composition.
Can confirm the heat production of the body. Did a half marathon in 40*F and started with gloves and jacket. Quickly overheated in the first 6 miles. Had to drive back for my extra clothing after I finished the race.
Just ran a marathon today. This video was very informative and now a can start to comprehend why my body feels like its been used as a punching bag by Mike tyson
I am a marathoner and my pace is getting slower especially when reaching 15 kilometer mark... the intense and hardship in marathon is painful... i am always in teary seeing such champion marathoner finishing the line (i could imagine their extreme struggle to maintain their pace)... my pace usually decrease to 7 to 8 when reaching 30 kilometer mark...
KENYA!!...Best Runners in the World :)
all you need is patient💯
Dehydration can be beneficial... since the body will secrete adrenaline to the blood and other substances that enable the body to manage and somehow become stronger... although one must keep in mind to rehydrate to avoid complete dehydration.
mr20barefoot no dehydration is not beneficial.
The downsides out weigh the upsides by far.
Adrenalines only useful for doing something quick, like winning a fight, or lifting something your stuck under.
It overclocks you like you like a kiaoken.

One day I decided to run the Carlsbad Marathon about an hour and a half before it began. I finished in five hours and some change. It was the most excruciating thing I've ever done outside of the Army. The hardest part by far is the battle that happens in your mind.

How did your marathon go?
@@alexukbrighton I finished it! Wasn't the fastest, but didn't quit. 4 hrs 48 min
Do elite marathoners run a "mock" marathon race before their race? I mean like including a full marathon at their race pace as part of their training

Keep it up and you'll go far... if 26.2 miles isn't already far enough 😉

Would NOT recommend running marathons at age 13! Trust me save yourself until you are at least 18 going that far. You will damage your body and lose your speed. Speaking from experience. Go shorter but quicker. No more than 5 miles at that age
I'm 2 weeks into training and the furthest I have ran is 11 miles. Not even half the distance yet! :O
You'll get there, bud
Very good knowledge, thanks!

The human body is not condusive to running fast compared to most other animals, HOWEVER, it IS condusive to running farther and longer than nearly all other animals.
There is a magical feeling when you run... You dont get that feeling in any other sport...

Uma pena que não está legendado em português. we see the legends in Marathon.

Good knowledge thanks!
so this new trend of doing multiple marathons over consecutive days is stupidity as I thought?
Yup
Depends on how fast you run the marathon. If you're jogging (which is what they're doing) it's not a problem. The human body can adapt to a very high level of endurance - such as running 26 miles everyday without much damage. It's RACING the distance that does almost all the damage.
Not really. It very much depends on your ability to recover quickly from a marathon. The two closest for myself were 2 weeks apart: October 1 and October 15, and the time differential was only about 5 minutes...and I was still only in my mid-40s at the time.
But the point is that if you prepare properly, and then run easily, and have no other major issues in terms of health, there is no real reason why a person who works for it cannot do marathons on consecutive days.
Now in my late 60s, my running marathon days are behind me because the left knee won't take the pounding. But I do plan to take up race-walking this spring, and that does not involve any serious pounding on the knees. It WILL be nice to get moving again!!! lol
Just remember: You find out what you are made of when you see what it takes to stop you. Good luck, and good running!
I agree with that! Let's put it this way: The marathon is really the ultimate endurance test. Yes, there are ultra-marathons that go longer, and there are triathlons of various distances. But 26.2 miles is where racing ends...and fanatical extremes begin!
DeedsResearcher. There is also a difference between those who run to win and those who run to just finish the course.
Amazing video but I love the background music for these videos!
I Have ran four half marathons in the past 4 years and coming up on 5 in the past 4 years. i train as much as i can when i can. I am very excited to run this year again. But I run in my local Full/Half Marathon.
That last clip was pretty intense.
Great ending in the clip 👍🙏
excellent presentation
Well and whats up with the guy who ran a marathon a day for a week?
KENYA!!!
WHY IS THE MUSIC SO LOUD?!? Can’t hardly hear the woman talking.
Thank you for codifying all the reasons I will never even attempt a marathon.
Let's not forget: what we watch on TV is only a snippet of what these athletes go through. The best marathon runners run the equivalent of one marathon per _day_ as part of their training regiment. Most of us can barely endure a few minutes of consecutive training, and these athletes run one marathon a day!
I'm 17 and training to do an iron man next year. I'm not looking forward to the marathon run
