A lot of people plan to have a negative split in the marathon. But usually the plan falls apart because it's very hard to do. But you actually pulled it off and did it amazingly well. Congratulations!
What an awesome video, Jane! So many things to congratulate you on👏superb race execution, the 20 sec PR, coaching your friend to such an amazing finish in her first marathon and of course the well deserved 1K subscribers! Well done, Jane, best of luck now with recovery and then the Boston training cycle! Cheers, Scott🤓
Thank you so much, Scott, the support is always appreciated! Yes, coaching my friend to her first marathon finish and then having her knock her goal out of the park made the day extra special! Going to enjoy this December downtime for sure.
wow -- that was an awesomeness finish, and a PR is a PR, great to have Patrick to hand things off too, and get a hug at the end of the race -- teamwork !!!
Yes!! I was so happy he was able to come along with me to Sacramento and be my #1 fan. With 3 kids, I couldn't do any of this without him that's for sure! Thanks, Ken!
Loved your detailed recap! Great for me to hear! 2023 at the CIM will be my first marathon! A bucket list for me here at age 60! I'm currently up to 10 miles at 9:39 split & training the distance! My goal really is just to complete the course without cramping (as you mentioned does happen). What mile did you take the salt tablet? Thank you so much!
That's amazing, Christine! I loved it so much! I would recommend at least 2 saltstick chews per hour or 1 of the tablets per hour. But honestly everyone is different...aim to get at least 400-500mg of sodium per hour whether that's through gels, sports drink, saltstick, etc.
Dang Richard - congrats!!! That is awesome and super inspiring! Not sure I'll ever do a 100 (though never say never)...but hope to get an ultra accomplished in the next couple of years.
YAYY! Wow that’s an awesome time, you are golden for Boston! I hope I can keep that strong in my marathon career. I BQ’d with 3:27:06 and just broke down crying with joy. I also got zero sleep due to anxiety haha but somehow pulled it off! I’m feeling hopeful my time is good enough (I’m 31).
Thank you so much, Amanda, you are so kind. A huge congrats to you on an excellent race!! 3:27 is an absolutely amazing time! There is nothing like that snagging that first BQ and I'm overjoyed for you!!
Thank you and congrats to you, too!! It is all relative, right...and every marathon finish is one to be celebrated as it's a huge accomplishment in and of itself!! Just saw your channel for the first time and that you have a CIM race recap, too, so I will for sure be watching it later today!
I love this recap. It's just like you are at our house for dinner telling your story and ... since we are house of runners ...every detail is riveting. That split and pace control is truly inspirational.
This is probably one of the nicest comments I've ever received...for me to make you "feel like home"...well that is my honor. Thanks for listening! (Houston Marathon recap coming ASAP!)
Ran it, too. Truths: Fast field. Over 1,000 runners broke 3 hours. That’s 1:7.5 runners. An extraordinarily high ratio. Hills (and people pushing too hard thereon). Yep. Also, though, people over-striding the downhills. A real quad-killer. Force = Mass x Acceleration. Smaller steps going downhill reduces acceleration caused by gravity. Negative split. 0h yeah. This course is prime for a negative split; the hard stuff is in the first half. Picking up the pace later in the race. Yep. Slightly after mile 15 (which has a hill) and then full on after the bridge in mile 21. I had a 3 minute negative split and got a BQ-12. So 2023’s taken care of. Kudos to us. 👍🏻
Congrats on your 12-minute buffer BQ - that is awesome, Mike!! Looks like we're in agreement on pretty much everything. And 1,000+ breaking 3 hours is nuts! You make a great point about the downhills and being careful not to over stride - I train on much larger hills so I pretty used to it personally, but could be tough for people who aren't ready for it. What's your next big race?
Jane, I want to say thank you. I ran CIM today (Dec/2022) and luckily I happened across your video a few weeks ago. I didn’t train for the hills but at least I knew they were coming thanks to your excellent race report. I ran well and got a PR and finally a sub-3.
Wow and congratulations, Matt!! I'm so happy for you and glad I could play a tiny part in what was obviously superb race execution!! Appreciate you taking the time to pop over to say thanks. 💫
Nice race! You were right behind us! Congrats on a great time! And yes, dumb asses like me go out too fast on those hills and I paid for it. All my faster friends who PR'd ran negative splits. I did not! :(
What a perfect day for a race, right?! Was this your first time at CIM? It was certainly hillier than I was expecting and I even spent a lot of time researching the course ahead of time! Always hard to reel it in the first half. Congrats on your marathon finish - every one is one to celebrate no matter what!
Congratulations!! you did fantastically! I also ran CIM that day but my time was nothing compared to yours, but I'm very happy with my results. Although I keep thinking about why I couldn't go faster after mile 13, my legs were super tired. Anyway, I will keep running and trying to PR.
Thank you so much, Carla!! Happy to hear that you had a great performance out there and enjoyed the day! I had a marathon like that a couple years ago...saw my husband at the half mark and told him "this already feels hard!"...just felt off that day from the get-go. The hard part about marathons is that you train so hard and then you have that one shot to put it all together and hope it goes according to plan. Each and every one is a learning experience that's for sure. Thanks for watching and happy running!
I'm so glad you had a great experience 🤗 The weather that time of year in Sacramento is almost always great for running so that may be why people flock to this race🤷♀️ or maybe the 30:1 porta potty to people ratio😏😂 I had a fantastic race and was still 56th in our age group😂 There are some serious athletes out there!!
Dang, you smashed it, Michelle - congrats to you!!! Hope you had so much fun out there! And yes, it MUST be the port-o-potties...you nailed it...but seriously, I was thankful for that lol!!
Congrats on the PR. CIM is such a great race. I was there too, but not running quite so fast! Welcome to the Northern California running community. Hope you come back to CIM next year! Best regards.
Thanks very much, Eddie!! This was a time when the hard work came together and the stars aligned (ahem, thank you good weather) to make it all go according to plan. Was definitely a pinch myself moment those last few miles and I am grateful!
GRACIAS!!! y FELICIDADES!!! WELL DONE... CONGRATULATIONS !!! Thank you for these tips and for sharing your experience with us... Each of your words is very valuable! I'm going to run that Marathon this year, I'm from Guadalajara, Mexico... I ran New York in November of last year, and the HEAT, yes, very strange, but the HEAT wreaked havoc on many of the athletes!! From what I see, it looks like Sacramento will have a better chance of cool weather, or rather cold... Thanks again!
I found this while motivating myself for my first marathon at the 2022 CIM. You’re a great speaker with very helpful info, looking forward to more from your channel. Thank you and congrats on the PR!
@@runningwithjane Totally agree...if you put in the work and it doesnt give you the results you want, look back and make some changes and push forward. Never give up. That is how I see it. You did amazing. An inspiration for us.
Finally...I have been waiting see this review. hope you are well rested by now. Well done! Congratulations on your PR!. you hit 1000+ on the channel too. Looks like you had fantastic race. Thank you for the all suggestions. Few questions, did you able to find the reasonable hotel accommodations at Sacramento? I am looking for recommendations for next year. Do you believe there are enough aid stations where you dont need to carry your own water?
Hey Chaminda - such kind words, thank you!! Aid stations are every 2 miles. With it not being hot, absolutely there was enough water to stay well hydrated throughout the course. I personally like to have my 8.5-ounce water bottle in my pocket as back-up just in case. We stayed at the Holiday Inn downtown, which was one of the most reasonably priced accommodations they partnered with that was close to the capitol. Really great restaurants close by. The hotel itself is in need of a fix-up IMO, but it was clean and had everything we needed. I think you can find more affordable accommodations closer to the start, but I never really looked into that. I would stay downtown again in a heartbeat just to be near the finish line and getting on the buses was a snap. Hope you get to run it next year...I'll say it again...it.was.awesome!
This is my 6th time and I think weather this year is one of the best. There was a year of heavy rain, a year of super head wind, and a year of super cold weather and black ice on the road. Regardless, it is one of the best organized races.
@@runningwithjane Boston weather varies a lot too. I ran it 5 times some years ago. There was the year of more than perfect weather - cool and tail wind and course record of 2:03. There was a year of strong headwind. There was a year of rain. All in all, when the weather is ok, and with the right strategy, Boston can be fast. My 2nd and 3rd fastest Marathons were Boston
A lot of people plan to have a negative split in the marathon. But usually the plan falls apart because it's very hard to do. But you actually pulled it off and did it amazingly well. Congratulations!
Thank you so much! I am grateful that on this day I was able to execute it as hoped!

@@runningwithjane Thanks Jane. It is good fun and more project management at slower speeds
Will be standing on my neighbor's rooftop cheering for you at heartbreak hill in Newton coming April 🏃♀️
Hell yeah!! Thank you for this awesome comment and I can't wait!!
You're amazing🤩
Aww, thank you Karli! So are you!

What kind words - thank you so much, Beverly!!
My Garmin also says 686 ft total ascent
It's weird, right?? It seemed liked 686 so I'm going with that lol.
Hamesha khush raho my friend,. ,.👌🙏🏼.,
Thanks!
@@runningwithjane Did you understand that? "Be happy all the time." How?
Congratulations on the PR! Congratulations on 1K subs! It's just the beginning of many more big milestones to come! Great job Jane!
Thank you, Paul, appreciate all your support!!
Wow! You ran the perfect race!!! Way to go!!!! #negativesplits
Thank you so much, Kori!! Somehow I managed to get it to play out pretty much how I planned and I'm grateful for that!
Thanks for this video 🙏🏾
You're so welcome!
Way to go! I ran too - finishing much, much later than you. 🤣 Huge congrats on executing your race plan perfectly! Fantastic job! 👍💪

Hey thanks Tim - that means a lot! I am grateful for what I've learned and can pass on.
GRACIAS!!! y FELICIDADES!!!

Oh gosh NYC was terrible weather. You have CIM coming up? Best weather I have ever raced in was that race! Thanks for the kind words, too.
What a great tale. Looks like a great race and congrats on your PR. Just awesome.
Thank you so much! It was truly a day for the memory books.
Thanks, Jane. Like hearing how it all breaks down. Nice pointers!
Of course! This was a fun one to do because I got to relive a really great day. Happy new year, Shane!
Awesome negative splits!
Thank you so much!! It sure is fun that way. My 25-year-old self who walked most of the last 6 miles of my first marathon would be proud.
This is a very helpful clip indeed ! Running my 3rd marathon all this year .. going for 2:55 this was very helpful indeed .. thanks a lot ! 🖤👟🏁
