Scottish half marathon on 19th September only gave myself 9 weeks to train . so hoping some muscle memory kicks in from doing several a few years ago . 😬
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe how close marathon season is! So excited to finally be close to running my first marathon - especially excited for the Sterling marathon next year and hopefully one day the London marathon! Thank you to the running channel for making me feel more prepared and much less nervous!
Started exercising during a very dark period in my life. After the gyms closed due to covid I transitioned to running; and hated it with a passion. But... it gave me some piece of mind and having done something productive in my day gave me a fulfilling feeling. First time I topped out at 7:30/km pace and felt like dying 3 times during my 3km run. Half year later I completed 5 half marathons, nearing the 2h barrier and looking ahead to the marathon and beyond. Kinda addicted by now...
YAY! You guys always happen to upload when I’m getting ready for my long run so I love watching as I’m training for my first marathon! I have 20 miles to do today! 💃🏻
I went through a dark period in my life and running has been a savior. All those tougher runs were all worth it in the end and made me a bit addicted haha. I couldnt have done it without the help of The Running Channel. This community is amazing and im grateful to be part of it. Thank you so much. ;)
Currently in Training for my first ever Marathon in October. Took up running during the Covid lockdown and watching your videos have helped fuel my new passion 😁
Love it - I've done 2 marathons and am training for an ultra, which feels like a whole different ball game, but the basic principles you have highlighted in this video still apply!
I recently ran my first half marathon and now a full marathon seems somehow more impossibly long... Kudos to all of you that manage through one! Respect!
The running channel has been supporting me through my journey from doing couch to 5k during May 2020 to doing the London Marathon in 6 weeks time for Crohn’s & Colitis UK! Thank you so much for all the great videos keeping me going 💜
I’m 50yo living in rural Queensland, Australia. Started running again in January this year with mind and heart set on Racing the Planet Atacama Desert Crossing 250k stage race in 3-4 years. Training has progressed from needing to walk after 10-12min to running long runs over 10k comfortably non-stop and now weigh 83kg from 96kg at the start of the year! I’ve notched up 5 x Parkrun PBs this year so far and looking at my first trail 1/2 marathon in December. Next year I have my sights on 4-5 trail marathons. The Running Channel has been such an inspiration, motivation and school for me not just starting to run again but to keep running and running smart. God bless your team and no doubt you’ll have a part to play as I progress in training and achievements towards my ultimate goal.
Just ordered a running channel sweatshirt that I can’t wait to wear on my runs! I’ve been watching your channel for awhile and its great to have such a sense of community. Anna and I could definitely be besties if we lived in the same country :)
Hi guys! Thanks for all the great info on top marathon questions answered! Me, my husband and son are all running in the Brighton Marathon in 3 weeks! Super excited and dreading it in equal measures! 😆😆😆 Goal: to cross the finish line! 🏃♂️ 🏃 🏃♀️
I am halfway through training for my first marathon so great to get tips on what to think about. Hopefully will see it through. Would be interested to know more about coping with the “wall”
You guys have been a shining light in my training for my second marathon. I ran a virtual Marathon a few weeks before my son was born in the midst of COVID last year. Now a year later, I’m training with the running stroller and about to do my second just before his birthday. On the mornings that I’m feeding him at the butt crack of dawn and don’t want to run before work, I watch you videos to pump myself up! Thanks for all the help! Keep posting wonderful videos!
I have started building up my base fitness before committing to my full marathon training schedule. I will be running the Manchester marathon next April. Current runs around the 6mile mark. Anything I do I throw myself fully into and become obsessive about it so this channel is perfect for all my research and queries. Keep up the good work guys and stay healthy.
Great q&a’s thank you, it’s my first marathon and I’m doing it as my disabled son is going into adult care when he turns 18 in October and it’s helping my mental health stay on track!
After losing over 70 lbs in 2019, I came across Annas video of her running the NYC Marathon. This motivated me to get into running and now I will be running my first marathon in November, in NYC!
I love your channel! I started running about 4 months ago and have my first half marathon in 4 weeks! I'm very excited and nervous, but here's to hoping it's the start of more halfs and (someday) full marathons!
For the first time in my life I'm actually enjoying running and I've been binge-watching your videos since I've set myself the goal of running a marathon next year. Thanks for all the useful tips and tricks!
Currently training for my first half marathon race in September. I am so excited and glad that the running channel is giving me all the tips to get through it.Yay
I started running when I was in the darkest place of my life in January, now i'm running a half marathon next weekend. Shows anyone can achieve their goals, running is awesome therapy!
Appreciate that your videos are always approachable to newer runners! My favorite Marathon is Dublin, currently training for Firewater 100k in Tennessee in October - fingers crossed!
My first thought when I watched this video was oh man, I wish I was a runner and subscribed to the running channel when they were doing this competition (perhaps 2 years ago). Then I realised it's a new video! Aiming for a marathon in 2022. Training for a half this autumn.
I can't thank the Running Channel enough for all the advice and community vibes. I only started running in Jan but I have my first marathon coming up! Xxx
I'm glad I found your channel. I've been running again since August of last year (after about a 10 year gap) and I signed up to run my first marathon this October.
Thanks guys! I’ve been watching a lot of the channel. I’m running my first marathon soon. 12 weeks of training from a “base”. Feeling good so far. Thanks for the info.
Used to absolutely hate running so I could never have imagined I would be signing up for a marathon and training for it! Excited to achieve something very few in the world do :)
Love it! I ran my own solo marathon in Rome during April this year. I remember hitting a wall around 30k and had to walk for a little bit. Without crowds and aid stations it was a massive challenge - thankfully Rome has plenty of water fountains! I managed it in 3:40, which I was so chuffed with. Huge respect for all marathon runners: it's a true achievement. This channel was so helpful for inspiration during my training. On my way to an ultra now! :)
Yesss!!!! I LOVED this video! So needed. I've ran 3 half marathons before, and have 2 later this year... (GNR and Manchester Half) but I bit the bullet and signed up for my first ever FULL MARATHON next April (Manchester Marathon) I am scared and excited in equal measure but even more relieved to have found your channel a few weeks ago as I know there will be plenty of content to look through for help along the way! Thanks guys as always :)
Just signed up for my first marathon in Edinburgh next May and these videos are great, they’re giving me lots of useful tips for how I should start my training. Thank you and keep up the good work 👍🏻
Training for my first half marathon in October and planning to work up to a full marathon next year! The content here has been super helpful in that prep, keep up the good work!
Thanks for adressing these questions. Running the Leiden (Holland) marathon this October and signing up for de London marathon 2022. You guys are insperational.
I started running a bit more than 2 years ago, did my first half Marathon 1 year ago and will do my first full Marathon in about 2 months, the SwissCityMarathon in Lucerne. In all that, the Running Channel was a much appreciated source of inspiration, motivation and information. Keep up your good work!
Your videos are always filled with helpful info. Definitely hit the wall during my first marathon in 2019. Weather was just crazy warm during the marathon while all my training was done in cold, rainy/stormy weather. Focussing on more strength training and practicing my nutrition more on my long runs this time around. Fingers crossed Rotterdam won't get postponed again 🤞. Thanks for all the great work you guys do! Always tuning in! And good luck to everyone who is training for an upcoming race!
Many thanks for your Ts and Cs. I have booked for my first marathon in Brighton April 2022. Getting nervous even this far away. Coming back from a very bad injury which has been difficult for me, your videos been very helpful. Keep up the great content. 👍
Must say I love that the answers are so straight forward. Long time since I've trained and trying to get back into it. Content is fun and makes me want to train for a marathon!
Thankyou for this informative video. 👍👍 I'm training for my first marathon in Melbourne which is also my 30th Birthday. I'm glad I found The Running Channel, I have been watching your videos consistently and getting tips to be a better runner. Keep up the good work. 🙂👍
Great Video! Really helpful advice. I have a ballot place for the Virgin London Marathon on the 3rd October 2021 - super excited to have this amazing opportunity to tick of a Bucket List item of mine. Huge learning curve as I had never run before but Couch to 5K was a great start and I've been marathon training ever since. Your videos have been a huge resource! Thank you x
I’m doing my first ever marathon at Manchester 2022! So excited for it! I started running again back in October and did a half marathon by myself in February during the really strict lockdown (was probably my favourite memory from the first half of the year!). I got a few injuries along the way (the classic tendinitis and ITBS) but now building back up for my first half race at the end of September and then the marathon next year! Love the videos and all the advice 💪🏻
After a work accident a few years ago my husband got a lot bigger than he would have wanted and lost all fitness due to not being able to exercise. This year he took up running and has done so well, lost loads of weight and done a 5k and 10k race so far and has now signed up for his first marathon next summer. I am so proud of him.
I have only done the Jersey Marathon in 2013 and now a good few years later, I am attempting the London Marathon in 5 weeks eeeeek. Really enjoying these videos - thank you so much for all the tips!
You really have a comprehensive video. My suggestion for anyone wanting to run a marathon: do a few races beforehand. Get used to the feel of toeing the line and know how races work. I had done at least a hundred races before my first marathon and I still had a ton of anxiety but one I didn't have was how races worked and what to expect. Also I would suggest that people be currently capable of running about 30km a week with a long run of at least 12 to 14km. Love your channel and I look forward to your videos.
First marathon in October (Manchester) and I am the last man standing from my group of 3. Scared but really looking forward to it at the same time. Anna and Sarah’s videos are really helping. Keep it up!
Yay - Excellent video 👍I am training for Galway Bay marathon on October 02nd, 18miles ran this morning, I really love the long runs! As always great to see Anna & Rick do a video 😀
I’ve been running for nearly 2 years now and it’s really kept me sane during difficult times I ran my first and only marathon during lockdown (solo and virtual) and it’s one of my proudest achievements even if the time was pretty slow. I have my first real race next month so all the tips here are really useful!
As a new runner I am just about finished with a Couch to 5k! I have been having a blast with running and a Marathon is definitely on the bucket list! Primarily I am running and strength training for the weight loss. Motivation has been tough for me and i’ve been pretty overweight for most of my life. Recently something clicked in my mind when I saw my weight at the doctor’s and it kickstarted my journey! I’m excited to lead a better and fitter life!
I’m training for the Philadelphia Half Marathon right now (which will be my fourth half) as my partner trains for the Philly Marathon - his first marathon!! Love watching your videos, both for the education AND for the fun! 🏃🏻♀️
This was incredibly helpful as I am currently training for my first marathon! I have definitely utilized your channel and videos thus far, and am grateful for tips such as these because training is TOUGH. As a Floridian, the heat and humidity of summer here has recently been getting to me, but here's to pushing through and hoping it'll strengthen me further for race day!
Currently marathon training so I appreciate you guys consistently pumping out marathon-specific videos to keep me motivated! Going to do my best to make you all proud on race day💪😊
Taking on my first marathon in October! You guys have made the prep so much more fun and easier - always answering the questions that pop up along the way :)
Signed up for the belfast marathon for the 2nd time, my first marathon was great up until the I hit THE WALL! but with such a fantastic atmosphere and people cheering me on I got through it even with severe foot cramps. I'm training alot more this year and hope to get a pb. Thanks for all the tips, as always love the content! Keep it coming 🥰
This channel is amazing, I’ve learned a lot over the last year and a half or so since I came across it. Signed up for my first marathon last year, but it was postponed to this December. 😬 So nervous/excited…Honolulu here I come!

So looking forward to marathon season
Scottish half marathon on 19th September only gave myself 9 weeks to train . so hoping some muscle memory kicks in from doing several a few years ago . 😬
How can you train for a more hilly race when you live in a flat area?
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe how close marathon season is! So excited to finally be close to running my first marathon - especially excited for the Sterling marathon next year and hopefully one day the London marathon!

I've only just signed up for my first ever race, the Chatsworth 10k. Hopefully I can progress to a half, and then, gulp, a marathon one day 👍🏻🏃♂️
You're on the right path for that, Mark! Good luck for your 10K 😊
One step at a time, you'll get there though.
I'm also now googling the chatsworth 10k!
@@saffie1990 thanks! It looks like an interesting race with all sorts of terrain.
10k for your first ever race??? you better have trained very well 6 miles non-stop is no joke
I recently ran my first half marathon and now a full marathon seems somehow more impossibly long... Kudos to all of you that manage through one! Respect!
A marathon is just two half marathons - that doesn't seem so hard, right? Right...? 😂
If you're worried get a running buddy to sign up and run it together!
The running channel has been supporting me through my journey from doing couch to 5k during May 2020 to doing the London Marathon in 6 weeks time for Crohn’s & Colitis UK! Thank you so much for all the great videos keeping me going 💜
I was surprised when Anna’s answer to the “What do you wear for a marathon” question was: “Nothing!”
I don't remember that. I can't believe I missed it!
@@RobDickson69 9:48. Granted she keeps on going with her point from there, but it still surprised me in the moment :)
"Nothing!" huh.... what?.... "New. On. Race day!", ah that makes a lot more sense XD

I've only done one marathon so far. Lochness Marathon was beautiful. Enjoyed most of it 😂 Hoping to run my 2nd Marathon in May next year. 🤞
Did you see the loch ness monster?!!

Thanks for all the tips, love seeing you two together again

Thanks Marco! Good luck in Lucerne!

Was meant to be running the London Marathon in 2020 and now I won't be running until October 2022! Love your videos for keeping me motivated!
Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to completing my first marathon in Montreal Canada
Absolutely love your videos. Keeping me motivated and as a relatively new runner answering all the questions I’m too embarrassed to ask anyone!
Thank you for all of your help as I train for my first marathon! Love yall.
Love watching your videos! Queenstown Marathon in New Zealand is a must-do marathon. A very scenic marathon event.
I’ll start training for my 4th marathon in a few months - it’s in April 2022! I’m super excited and nervous-thank you for this video!
Good video. I'm looking forward to my third trip around NYC this November and London 2022!
Good, solid advice. I just finished Leadville and am resting up for a rim to rim to rim at the Grand Canyon.
I have only done the Jersey Marathon in 2013 and now a good few years later, I am attempting the London Marathon in 5 weeks eeeeek. Really enjoying these videos - thank you so much for all the tips!

Great tips! I’m training for the Seven Bridges Marathon on Oct 17 in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Love watching and learning about running from your videos! Training for the St Jude Marathon in Memphis TN.
First marathon in October (Manchester) and I am the last man standing from my group of 3. Scared but really looking forward to it at the same time. Anna and Sarah’s videos are really helping. Keep it up!
Frantically training for the GNR - it's going well but very nervous! Thanks for all the help TCR!

I’ve been running for nearly 2 years now and it’s really kept me sane during difficult times
I ran my first and only marathon during lockdown (solo and virtual) and it’s one of my proudest achievements even if the time was pretty slow. I have my first real race next month so all the tips here are really useful!
Looking forward to my first organized race in october..just started running a couple weeks ago. Your videos are really helping out :)
Did my first half marathon during the summer, looking forward to a full marathon next year. Thanks for all the tips 👍
So helpful as I try to prepare for marathon day! Got a 10 mile test shortly and currently fueling on porridge! 👍🏼😊
As a new runner I am just about finished with a Couch to 5k! I have been having a blast with running and a Marathon is definitely on the bucket list!
Primarily I am running and strength training for the weight loss. Motivation has been tough for me and i’ve been pretty overweight for most of my life. Recently something clicked in my mind when I saw my weight at the doctor’s and it kickstarted my journey! I’m excited to lead a better and fitter life!
Great tips... making me consider getting my 2nd marathon booked in. You can't beat that feeling as you cross the finish line
Training for my first marathon in Brighton in 2022. Thanks for the video & useful tips.
Good luck Ben!
I’m training for the Philadelphia Half Marathon right now (which will be my fourth half) as my partner trains for the Philly Marathon - his first marathon!! Love watching your videos, both for the education AND for the fun! 🏃🏻♀️
Great video thanks! Been looking for tips and support to build up to a marathon one day
I am actually training for a half marathon but I still find these marathon themed videos very useful!
This was incredibly helpful as I am currently training for my first marathon! I have definitely utilized your channel and videos thus far, and am grateful for tips such as these because training is TOUGH. As a Floridian, the heat and humidity of summer here has recently been getting to me, but here's to pushing through and hoping it'll strengthen me further for race day!
Love your videos! Hoping to start building a base so can run my first half marathon next year!
Currently marathon training so I appreciate you guys consistently pumping out marathon-specific videos to keep me motivated! Going to do my best to make you all proud on race day💪😊
Thanks for tips! Only training for a half but deffinately need to think about strength/conditioning and fueling!
I have my first marathon in Jan 2022! Thanks for all the great tips :)
Great! Have definitely asked all these questions. My first marathon next April 😱
Taking on my first marathon in October! You guys have made the prep so much more fun and easier - always answering the questions that pop up along the way :)
Signed up for the belfast marathon for the 2nd time, my first marathon was great up until the I hit THE WALL! but with such a fantastic atmosphere and people cheering me on I got through it even with severe foot cramps. I'm training alot more this year and hope to get a pb. Thanks for all the tips, as always love the content! Keep it coming 🥰
This channel is amazing, I’ve learned a lot over the last year and a half or so since I came across it. Signed up for my first marathon last year, but it was postponed to this December. 😬 So nervous/excited…Honolulu here I come!
Doing my first marathon in San Francisco, thanks for the tips
Our pleasure - good luck for your marathon in SF! 😁
Nicely timed with the Brighton Marathon 2022 info email arriving yesterday. Very tempting!
You know you want to... 😁 🏃♀️
