I ran 2 half marathons and was happy with how I did even being that I have never been a runner my whole life. After my second half marathon which was the beginning of October 2022 I have made it a goal to run a full marathon. I am choosing the Miami Marathon in January 2024 to give myself plenty of time to train. This has given me some great pointers to try to incorporate. Thanks and looking forward to completing this goal...P.S. this marathon with be 4 months before I turn 56...looking forward to finishing this.
I just signed up for my first marathon after watching yall!!! I did my first half this year so fingers crossed I feel just as good.
that is awesome!! good luck and have fun!
So awesome!! Goodluck & best wishes!! I’m sure u will crush it, but don’t forget to enjoy the training journey as well!!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell Do you have a program that combines powerlifting,Olympic weightlifting, strongman, crossfit into one?

Love the marathon content!! Would love to see more!
Girl you and patrick are so inspiring my word I love being a part of your channel!!💙💙
Invaluable advice from a champ! Thanks Kristi!!
I am definitely excited to see a plan you guys put out to incorporate both running distance and CrossFit. ❤
Hello. Thanx for all the advice. Give Milo a big hug.
Awesome advice, Kristi!!! Thank you 👏
Thank you and thank you for watching!!
Awesome advise, running a half marathon Saturday morning here in my home town Greenvile, SC ... fueling up right now! Wish me luck. Thank YOU!
Thank you for the tips, very useful. Love the content
Thank you so much!
love your videos!
Great advice once again! Thanks guys.
Our pleasure! ✌️
Enjoyed the video...from Dingle, Ireland
Awesome vid!! Absolutely “nothing new on race day” is probably the best advice that I didn’t adhere to with my first big race-u mentioned fuel, hydration & shoes, which I did practice, but brand new new race kit (singlet & shorts) was my downfall-which resulted in terrible chafing-so I’d also suggest running some training sessions in everything ur planning to wear on race day too, just to make sure all is good!
haha yes NOTHING new on race day, including clothing FOR SURE!! I have also made that mistake in the past!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell Bugger! Glad to know in a way I wasn’t the only one to make that mistake!! 🤣 It didn’t even occur to me! I’ve also heard of people eating the same breakfast as their favourite runner/triathlete sports person on race day without trying it out beforehand with fairly predictable results. Me, I don’t have anything that is lucky for race day, except for my breakfast🤣always has been the same and will never change I don’t think!
You are truly amazing Kristi, to me the Fittest on Earth after this effort. Period. I still cannot get over this marathon achievement considering your top tear Crossfit performance. I just ran my first marathon (3:28) so have a good understanding what your time means, and I can barely do a single pull up...😜 UNBELIVEABLE. I challange any other Games athlete - men included - to do this after you. Now you should just try a real pair of runners and you are set for a sub 3:00 for sure 😁
Great info, specially the hydration part and nutrition. I eat healthy but need some more carbs for my long runs :)
Great tips AS ALWAYS. Congratulations on your PR time for the FULL marathon. You were AMAZING competing in that race.
thank you!!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell of course coach
Love all your videos but especially running ones!
THANK YOU!! It is fun to dabble in all areas of fitness!!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell it is! Keeps things interesting!
It would be so great to have a plan for running a race while still doing crossfit !
Couldn’t do that myself without letting one of the two sports for some time…
Can’t wait to see that from you guys.
You rock ❤
Great advice on nutrition and staying in your lane!
Highly recommend starting people off with plan that brings them from a 5k --> 10k --> half marathon --> marathon over 2 years. Jumping into marathon training is a intense and a great way to get injured if not attempted properly. I hope no one watching this thinks that 6 weeks is enough training!
Congratulations!
Thank you!
These are great tips!!!
Thanks for watching!
didn’t know there were all these elements to consider in order to be fit for race day!! having my first 44km trail in december, hopefully you just saved me from a bad first experience 😂
This is really helpful. I just signed up for my 2nd marathon and I have the Spartan Beast in a little over a month. This was great.
AWESOME!! Good luck!
Awesome, thank you so much. Am running the Marine Corp Marathon next week. My first one :)
Linked this to the Marine Corp Marathon Group.
that is awesome! have fun and good luck!
The advice for electrolytes was reassuring. Up until about 8 months ago I never focused much on that. For years I’ve had issues with muscles randomly twitching or even an eyelid twitching. I stated making my own electrolyte drinks twice a day and all that twitching has gone away and my CF workouts have significantly improved.
Congratulations 👏
Thank you 😁
Good advice. I'm always impressed when I see athletes with substantial muscle mass running marathons. I've got respect for the skinny endurance machines too, but you are carrying more weight over that distance than the typical marathon body type.
That’s pretty good. I’m trying to run again, if I can get past some knee issues.
Thanks guys, I burnt myself out when I did the LA marathon when I was 18 yo, didn’t follow my body’s pacing. Had to go back the next year to do it right, but I certainly listen now lol.
I would love that CF/running plan for a half marathon! I probably did way too much crossfit and not enough running when I trained for my first half and it was so rough on my achilles.
I agree, Nicole! I too would love a CF/running plan for a half marathon. Kristi & Patrick, do you think your marathon plan could be scaled in a way to accommodate a half marathon as well? Y'all are the best! Love your content!
great info. thank you. Have you consider doing an IRONMAN, or ultra marathon?
Great video! Thanks for adding what to do before a crossfit competition. Do you use the shot bloks with caffeine?
thanks! I don't but Patrick likes the ones with caffeine!
hey Kristi,I hope you have a nice day,you are super amazing 💪💪😎❤️
Thank you so much! you too!! ✌️
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell you are super kind,thanks 😉 💪💪
Can you do a video on running form. I signed up for the Houston 1/2 in January😢
I love isotonic drinks and bananas - dry stuff tends to choke me up especially when one gets dehydrated. Love Mizuno Waverider - not the fastest but sturdy, comfortable and well cushioned for heavier athletes.
Which little waist belt/Fanny pack do you like? I’ve never found one. Incredible job in 6 weeks !
NYCM Mile 14 is special: with so much In Brooklyn the time in Queens & the Bronx is quick. Sorry, that’s a rough way to get to the 59th Street Bridge.
I hope Patrick enjoyed & has the bug for 21.1 & eventually 42.2km!
It was still a great race but a bummer I didnt feel amazing! HE did love it and maybe we will see him doing a 42.2 someday soon :)
How do you keep such good internal leg rotation for running when Crossfit has so many movements that require external rotation? Most serious Crossfitters have a hard time with this. But you have somehow managed to maintain a really nice gait.
As an advent endurance athlete (marathons, tri-athlons, spartan obstacle courses) weight is very important. Meaning everyone should figure out what their running weight is so NOT to cause injuries mainly on there joints (typically knees, ankles, hips). You want be as light as possible. Participating in CrossFit events is totally different then marathon events in every way. Your body, weight and muscle ratio should be different. Much different.
Also incorporating yasso800s into your marathon training is a big plus.
Crossfit and marathon running seems like a hard combination of sports. Do you not find the additional upper body muscle development from Crossfit detrimental to running that sort of distance?
At the age of 20, in the USAF, I worked midnight shifts and after our shift was over we played three hours or cut-throat racket-ball five days a week. It was very intense and was a super great aerobic workout. One of my sergeants talked several of us into running a marathon within about a month before the event.
The first day we ran five miles and the second day of training we ran 10 miles in just under an hour. We worked up to about 17 miles in training. He wanted us to qualify for the Boston Marathon, which meant a time under 3:05.00
During the race, I got to about twenty miles and we were about one minute behind the time we needed to qualify for Boston. My sergeant started yelling at me to go faster. I tried and then got a bad stitch in my side and had to slow down. I finally finished at about 3:10.00. He finally ran off faster and qualified for Boston. The experience was so irritating that I vowed never to run another marathon. I kept my promise.
I have run many half-marathons but never another full marathon. Later I learned that the stitch was caused by poor breathing.

Good info Thanks! Curious, did they guy you passed at the end say anything to you as he then passed you? He seem surprised and irritated when you first blew past him!😂🏃🏽♀
Haha he was so nice!! I was passing him and he picked it up and was like “come on let’s finish strong” and was rising his arms and smiling! He wasn’t irritated at all!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell That's nice to hear!
I have a suggestion that worked well for my second marathon, putting vaseline on my toes/front of my feet, both my runs were the wet seattle marathons, so it kept the blisters from being bad.
Oh thats a great idea!!
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell is they a program that combines powerlifting,Olympic weightlifting, strongman, crossfit into one?
@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell love the channel
How did you implement strength training while training for the marathon? I want to do both while training for a half.
I strength trained about 3-4x a week! I stuck to light/moderate percentages and did a ton of single leg work , core work, and glute /hamstring work to make sure my legs were strong for all the impact! I would just focus on good working sets instead of hitting my top end of % or weight for the 3-4 weeks into the Marathon!
The one thing I wish I knew before taking the governement shot...
Shame on youtuber who dont talk about the current enslavment agenda
