@@supwellyes, a bit of a gamble. I did it last year too after the Austin 3M half marathon. My body was more trashed from the half with a lot of downhill than I was in Houston. I think my limitation was aerobic conditioning more than physical- so I’m going to get a lot of slower time on feet to up the mileage w/ some threshold. Going to put a video out Friday with 2024 race plan. Great to see your channel taking off! Selfishly, a video on how you balance work, dad life, running while consistently posting to TH-cam is a video I’d love to see
Doing my 3rd half in September and first full in November. I just decided that I’m going to start doing my middle of the week run at race pace. I’m still working on cracking sub 2 on the half and I want to run with the 4:30 group during the marathon. My fastest half time is 2:07.
Transitioning to standing desk at work has been a game changer. Sitting is the devil. It's like S&C you can do 8hrs a day without having to schedule it in!
You have great info but for me it is so difficult to hit over 45-50 miles a week due to the fact I have a family and I work 12.5 hr shifts as a nurse. I am only able to run 4 days a week.
It's so damn impressive how you progressed from your first marathon to where you are right now in such a short time. It's just under two years, if I got it correctly?
thanks and yes first marathon was charlotte in november 2022. i ran for a few years before that so had some experience with getting my long run mileage up to 13+, but didn't put the structure around it until that first marathon training block
yes i do doubles 3 to 5 times a week. sometimes i take my son out in the stroller for that second run. other times i squeeze it in on one of my breaks. i'm fortunate to work from home and live in an amazing neighborhood for running where i can step out my door and get anything up to 16 miles without leaving the area. in the mornings i typically do 10 to 12 miles and then will do 4 to 8 most afternoons. i've been doing three weeks on, 1 week off with the down week at 75 miles to give my body a recovery period
yes after a big race i will always take at least 3 to 4 weeks of down mileage. and a few times throughout the year i will naturally cycle my mileage down. and yes tempo runs i do as progressions where i usually end faster. for the long run it really depends on how i feel. because my life is so busy with family, work etc, i can't always guarantee that i'll feel great for the long run - so sometimes i'll do it at a nice relaxed pace, sometimes i'll do a workout in it, sometimes i will fast finish. the ideal is to finish the long run with the last 3 miles at marathon pace, but i'm not always recovered enough from the week to do that (and i'd rather get the aerobic mileage in than risk an injury pushing it)
Great content! During your April marathon, how many grams of carbs per hour are you aiming to consume? Also, how often are you fueling during a marathon?(every 20-25min?)
thanks! i haven't nailed down my exact strategy yet but what i've been doing with success during my long runs is a full bottle of the tailwind endurance fuel (2 scoops, so that works out to 40 grams of carbs or 250 calories). and then 2 maurten 100 caffeine gels, each of which have 25 grams of carbs. so that works out to about 75 grams of carbs total, plus a carb heavy breakfast before, which is probably an additional 50+. but i need to finalize this still - if anything i would add 1 or 2 extra maurten gels
i don't have much of a life outside of running hahaha i work from home so i have no commute. every morning i run 10 to 14 miles before work, then i find time in the afternoon to do 4 to 8 on top of that. weekends i do an 18 to 22 miler on one of the mornings - if you have a family it helps to have a partner who is supportive and to alternate time on weekends watching the kids
@@supwell thx! I feel it's such an underrated part of serious marathon and ultra training, to fit all these miles into your schedule and still have somewhat of a social life haha
wow! for me anything more than 6km is a struggle (andd everything under 6 km is great). Maybe its a insole issue (its superthin and slippery and tends to roll under toes (in result u work with my toes to keep it on place, i press them and die them a little. I think ill try to put some glue under a insole (in the front) and try to run 10k+@@supwell
Just listened to this on my Sunday 2 hour run. Love it! I appreciate the intel. Higher mileage here we come (and more race pace and faster )
for sure - and how's the race recovery going? that's a quick turnaround!

Thanks for sharing 👍, will implement some of your plans into my marathon training 😊.
Doing my 3rd half in September and first full in November. I just decided that I’m going to start doing my middle of the week run at race pace. I’m still working on cracking sub 2 on the half and I want to run with the 4:30 group during the marathon. My fastest half time is 2:07.
More miles at race pace is super helpful for half and the full - I'm starting to work that in for my full training as well. Let me know how it goes!
@@supwell for sure! I found your channel about a week ago and have been hooked. I think what you’re doing is amazing!
Man…those are not “hobby jogger” speeds. Come on.
hobby jogger is a lifestyle not a speed ;)
What advice would you give am trying run 16:30 5k for next summer am currently at 23 minutes, my 5k PR is 21:12❤️ thanks

Funny you mention that. Requested a standing desk for work just last week
Most people should sit down at their desk sometimes as well
I'm doing Chicago too. Flying over from England 🤟. Would be good to meet you
amazing! yes we should coordinate something closer to the race
@@supwell sounds good. Our pb's are very similar too over all distances according to strava. Should be good 👍
Great tips here !!! Thank u
you're very welcome! let me know if you have any other questions you'd like me to answer in a future video
You have great info but for me it is so difficult to hit over 45-50 miles a week due to the fact I have a family and I work 12.5 hr shifts as a nurse. I am only able to run 4 days a week.

Great video! How do you manage your training with your work/family? With 100miles a week, you gotta be doing some doubles. Thanks!
yes i do doubles 3 to 5 times a week. sometimes i take my son out in the stroller for that second run. other times i squeeze it in on one of my breaks. i'm fortunate to work from home and live in an amazing neighborhood for running where i can step out my door and get anything up to 16 miles without leaving the area. in the mornings i typically do 10 to 12 miles and then will do 4 to 8 most afternoons. i've been doing three weeks on, 1 week off with the down week at 75 miles to give my body a recovery period
Interesting video. Do you change mileage in different seasons? Do you run long and tempo run as progression runs?
yes after a big race i will always take at least 3 to 4 weeks of down mileage. and a few times throughout the year i will naturally cycle my mileage down. and yes tempo runs i do as progressions where i usually end faster. for the long run it really depends on how i feel. because my life is so busy with family, work etc, i can't always guarantee that i'll feel great for the long run - so sometimes i'll do it at a nice relaxed pace, sometimes i'll do a workout in it, sometimes i will fast finish. the ideal is to finish the long run with the last 3 miles at marathon pace, but i'm not always recovered enough from the week to do that (and i'd rather get the aerobic mileage in than risk an injury pushing it)

Justan honest question - How do you find time during the week to do 100 miles per week? As a non professional athlete
i don't have much of a life outside of running hahaha i work from home so i have no commute. every morning i run 10 to 14 miles before work, then i find time in the afternoon to do 4 to 8 on top of that. weekends i do an 18 to 22 miler on one of the mornings - if you have a family it helps to have a partner who is supportive and to alternate time on weekends watching the kids
@@supwell thx! I feel it's such an underrated part of serious marathon and ultra training, to fit all these miles into your schedule and still have somewhat of a social life haha
whats the longest mileage (in daily training) you did in Rebels?
i took them up to 16 once or twice. and 10 to 12 a bunch of times
wow! for me anything more than 6km is a struggle (andd everything under 6 km is great). Maybe its a insole issue (its superthin and slippery and tends to roll under toes (in result u work with my toes to keep it on place, i press them and die them a little.

Dam, dude, u r fast! What is your body weight?
hahaha i am 6' 2" and 160 lbs
Stand up if you love the half marathon.
the best race distance!
