I absolutely was! I will have to share the video on our Discord. She has another one today.

Yep!! I know that ends up being a lot of gels to carry though. Good to practice using what will be on the course...then you can have some on you and take some when it's available. Other rec. I have is to use Tailwind or similar and concentrate it (I do like 3 scoops in 8 oz. which is 75g carbs). This would allow you to get away with eating fewer gels.

Not surprised you have had both positive and negative experiences. They can absolutely be great and I think if you truly have the right one...on your pace and super encouraging, it can help a lot. The runner just needs to be able to pull away (usually sooner rather than later) if there are signs the pace is not right for them. Thanks for the kind words about the channel - I really appreciate it! I'm curious to know which other channels you really benefit from! Congrats on your recent PR!!

Experience is huge, right?! I think that's another issue with going with a pacer...it's not so much the pacer...it's that people who often use a pacer are just less experienced and rely on them as a guide. But many times people push into too fast of a pace group and puts them in a worse position. And that makes sense about your faster marathon where you had to push the pace more being less dreadful...because you probably managed the effort so well! Taking an hour off is amazing!! Those darn bathroom breaks - wish I had a better solution but can be a nature of the beast.

I've gotten that feedback a couple of times now, so I will keep doing them! Glad it's helpful for you!

When I trained for my first marathon I did a half in 2h20 and raced a 5h13 full marathon. This year (my 4th) I did a 1h50 half and a 4h13 full. So I would guess that 5h45 might be a difficult goal if you do a half in 3h assuming you trained well for the half. That said we are all different and so with a good training plan you might pull it off. Also keep in mind that during the marathon training you train on tired legs and so you will be faster on race day.

Going faster in mara than half feels like a really ambitious goal

Agree with the other two who commented to you. However, Nov. will have been a year prior, so if you've been running consistently since the half, could be a totally different story if you've gained new fitness in that time. If you can run another half marathon in the next month or two, could be a good opportunity to see where you're at. Also, if you do a run-walk strategy getting that 14-min. goal is probably more attainable as you'll be able to better manage energy. As for fueling every 30 min, keep practicing until you can get down to that. If you're only at every hour right now, for example, push back to every 50 min. for. a couple weeks, then 45 min, etc.

@runningwithjane thank you. Yeah been running pretty consistently since Princess 2024 and Springtime Surprise Challenge. I run and train by heart rate and in Texas there is no half's during the summer

My first half was 2:16, my first marathon was 5:03 so I think you're going to have to give yourself some more time. Good luck!

Yep, I think this is why most people hate running! Of course some people will never love it and that's ok, but it's not supposed to be a sufferfest all the time! So great to hear you have shifted to lots of easy running and are loving it!

Oh I'm so happy to hear they are helping! Another great way to work on balance is with a Bosu ball. But if just being on one leg is challenging enough, that's an excellent place to start. Consistency will be the key with getting those knee issues to stay away for good.

Glad it was helpful!

Hi Maya - thanks so much for sharing your experience! Completely agree that there is way more nuance to it all. When you take the run at a comfortable pace and are mindful the impact on your body, you can go a lot longer and recover well. Glad to hear your training for Chicago is going great - keep it up!

Glad you found it helpful!

Fueling can be tough to figure out, so I'm glad to hear this was helpful for you!

I don't think that cycling has negatively impacted your running form. Just likely you are becoming more efficient as you run more. Could you have been running more on tired legs when you had the other modalities and felt that? For sure. Wishing you best of luck in your marathon in October!

Glad the content was helpful. Yeah, I'm not sure that was happening at that time.

Ah you're doing great, Camilla! You're a rockstar mom! Remember that no training is every perfect. Keep doing the best you can. If training doesn't go as according to plan as you like, making adjustments on race day will work wonders for you still be able to have a strong race.

If you just ran a 1:27 half and you're in the middle of your marathon training block, it's very possible that 3 hours isn't quite attainable just yet. But it depends on your experience, if you're typically stronger at the marathon distance, etc. If you haven't yet run a 3:05 yet, that's probably a better target that your body is ready to handle. Definitely not impossible, but really important to hone in what you're ready for before developing your pacing strategy. Wishing you best of luck!

Yes, high heat and humidity make a huge difference. I know being in CO it's nothing compared to some other places. Definitely all relative to where you typically train. Summer is definitely all about listening to your body and just doing your best...and knowing your body is making impactful adaptations that will help you when it's cooler.

If you're newer to running, that's normal. Don't worry so much about zone 2 if that's the case and work on building your endurance for how long you can run for. If you are more experienced and this is the case, walk breaks are totally fine to bring down HR and of course heat and hills would also be a factor.

Yes, having range in your training paces is so important for making improvement.Sounds like you're doing great!

Quality shoes that aren't worn out are definitely necessary (strength training of course, too)! At least you two found each other to support each other all the way through. What shoes do you love now?

I usually don't fill mine during a race (I bring a handheld and one that fits in my pocket)...but I do take cups of water to supplement. But my old coach, who is faster than me, I know for sure stopped once in one of her marathons to completely fill her water bottle. It really doesn't take that long in the grand scheme.

Then you need to slow down. 10:00/mile doesn't sound like it's your easy pace. What feels natural/most efficient isn't usually our completely easy pace and it takes practice to slow down.

I talk about both ad nauseum, lol, because they are both so dang important. If you pace slow enough, sure, you can avoid the wall without eating anything. But if you want to actually "race" and go for a time, fueling absolutely becomes a factor.

Halves are an awesome distance!!!

Glad to hear that, Joanne and you got it!

You are certainly up there!! Coming down from elevation will be oh so good though! I'm at about 6,000 feet so I also always look forward to that racing advantage going to other places to race. Best of luck to you as your training continues, keep moving forward - I'm also racing NYC!

How exciting you'll be running another! That can be hard to pinpoint with not having done one in a long time. Do you have a recent half marathon time?

@@runningwithjane ran a 10mile in 75 minutes, any half marathon has just been my Sunday long run. Do you think yasso 800s are a good guide?

Oh man, your body needed it so badly! Sounds like it helped you "power" through! And yes, tired and hitting the wall feel very different!

@@runningwithjane It is so frustrating watching a movie about running where they equate the two. I saw a movie on Comedy Central called _Office Race_ that got a lot of our community right, but a lot of the time, they get so many basic things wrong.

Great videos with very helpful information.

Cancel that question. I followed your link and signed up for more information. Thanks!

Hi Kevin - glad you found the video helpful! I didn't see an inquiry come through for you. Is this the link you used? readysetmarathon.com/contact-us/?source=one-on-one-coaching-button If that doesn't work, you can email me at jane@readysetmarathon.com. Thanks!

Hi Marcelo! Thanks for your coaching inquiry. You'll find the information you need on this page of my website: readysetmarathon.com/run-coaching-services/

Also, CIM is such a great race!

Regarding that last part, yes, I understand this very much! Taking gels late in the marathon is so hard - another big reason the frontloading is so important. I'm sorry you are feeling burnt out. Sounds like you trained really hard for your last one to get that 40-min. PR (awesome job!!) Marathon training is definitely a grind....probably you're ready for a season off, but perhaps you're already signed up for a fall marathon? It's also OK to run one for fun and not do as high level of training.😉

@@runningwithjane Already back in the grind but I think I was too focused on the marathon and with that I needed more time to get back into things. Right now I do a lot of easy running to get the mileage up and use indoor cycling to work on my anaerobic side rather than doing sprint training. The next marathon is in November and my goal is just to run for fun with no particular time goal.

I mean, that last 10k is so hard no matter what!! But when you fuel and pace well, it can also feel really empowering. The culprit for most is usually going out too fast...has that happened to you?

@@runningwithjane i think it is more the fueling piece- i have low blood sugar and if i do not eat every 4 hours even on non running days i have a hard time- so i feel its just amplified on training/ race days. ive tried gels every half hour, but i always just plain run out of gas.....

So happy to hear you've found this one helpful! What races are you doing?!

@@runningwithjane There are 2 in my city. One is the warsaw marathon on september 29, and the other is the praski half marathon on september 7. I run slow so my focus is on endurance. Right now I just try to clock the miles. Doing an average on 78 km/week.

I appreciate that so much and glad you found this helpful! This was a 29-min. video cut down to 13 min. LOL...usually I talk way too much ha!

29 to 13? I would gladly watch a 29 minute video by you. Maybe running a pool on YT to ask your audience for a preference in terms of video length? With such good quality content you provide, I would not be surprised longer videos are preferred, if you want to make them that long, that is of course ❤

2:03 watch the video

​@@DarthGarth213 Yes, but can't this be worked on and improved? Like if someone gets used to running off burning fat wouldn't the body become more efficient at this so they'll be able to run faster while still burning only/mostly fat?

@@carina9629 If you are running extremely slowly at mostly aerobic paces then yes. This is why many ultrarunners are able to make that transition. That being said, true marathon pace is simply too fast for your body to not utilize carbs.

@@MarioatSA Ohhh ok I see now. Thank you, that makes sense. To actually run the marathon as a race (and not just to finish the distance) fueling is mandatory, not optional. It only becomes optional at slow paces (like for the ultras). But then for ultras you're running for so many miles and for so many hours that you probably want to eat something

Also, from what I understand, it is not a 100% “on/off” fat vs carb burning system. It gets kind of biochemistry-ish to explain all the details, but even when you are in your optimal fat-burning z2 training zone, you aren’t ONLY burning fat. The process also requires some carb to sustain. I run trail ultras and I can ASSURE you that generally there is MUCH carb consumption, before, during and after these events! 😋🤓 🍉🍌🥨🥞🍛

Unfortunately so common! It's hard to put all the pieces together. Hopefully this video and my next one really help you nail down what you can adjust going forward to run a strong marathon. I'm passionate about helping people get past this!

Hi Christine! I hope you've been well!! Thanks for watching this one and glad you found it helpful. Keep going, I'm sure you're doing great!!

@@runningwithjane Thank you so much! I have been struggling in the heat but had a great run on Sunday. 10 minute run/1 minute walk is working for me!

It always is a confidence boost when you push through. Keep going, you're doing great!

Aw how nice! Ugh yes, between full-time coaching and my kids being home this summer, getting videos posted in a timely manner is tough - just time consuming to get one out! Really want to be in a position to get one video out per week!

Absolutely.

I still use this watch! I'm sure they will come out with another base model soon as this was 2021...it will absolutely do the job!!

Hope this helped give you some answers - side stitches are no fun. Sometimes it's also just a matter of continuing to run and give your body time to adapt.

Welcome to the channel! Yes, definitely force a slower pace for those long and easy runs!! Don't look at your pace and just go by feel or HR. Too easy for pace to get in your head. And yes, the heat has been brutal in so many places!! Keep up the great work, you'll be so proud of yourself for sticking it through.

Great job prioritizing your health! Walking on an incline is great for you and yes, that will be zone 2 for people for awhile as they get started on a running journey. Little run bouts - slow for even 30 seconds - will help you increase that aerobic endurance, too (don't worry if your HR goes out of zone 2 for this part). Little by little you'll be able to run for longer and ultimately stay in zone 2 doing it. Stick with it - you should be so proud of yourself!
