7 Running Myths You Shouldn't Believe
After reaching my peak weekly milege should i take a week off and then do the marathon? How does it work?

You must have been a proud mama at that x-c race!
I absolutely was! I will have to share the video on our Discord. She has another one today.
Regarding nutrition during a race, you mention 1 gel a half hour. Would you say that's the same for us slower runners (13-14min per mile pace)?
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.
#4 - Pacers: the best and the worst of "times" during some of the longer races that I've run. On the one hand, there's a half-marathon that runs twice a year that's close by to where I live (and work) that I've run three times. The organizers tend to employ the same pacers, and generally keep them within the same pace groups (give or take 15 minutes), and they are some of the most down-to-Earth people I've ever run with; supportive, friendly, and very interesting overall to talk with, on subjects including running and beyond. On the other hand, trying to absolutely keep pace with them is definitely something that I've learned is a no-no; as you said, everyone has a slightly different pace strategy, and over a long distance, the road to that end goal race time may veer slightly from side to side less or more for each runner. I had one of my absolute worst races where I simply joined up in a pace group and tried to follow the two pacers from start to finish - I felt dizzy and was ill by the time that event was over, and I wound up well over ten minutes behind them at the finish line. Now I have a good training schedule, my Garmin watch, and my favorite running shoes, as well as the excellent advice from your channel, (and a couple of others, too), all working for me after much trial and error, and using those tools, I got a P.R. at the last "half" that I ran; no thanks to the pacers that were present (no offense to them, either)! Thanks again, Jane!
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!!
My pacing lately is a little bit messed up as I always start to fast for either getting out of a slow group or trying to chase a pacer. That said I am experienced enough to know how much to pull back to rein it in and then being able to maintain a good pace till the end. What was surprising is that shaving off 1h (from my first marathon to now) made the race feel so much faster and way less dreadful. I can remember every section of my first 2 marathons and how far away it felt and now it is all a blur. One thing I had to come to terms with it is that I have to take at least one potty break or two in a full marathon.
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 appreciate the subtitles!
I've gotten that feedback a couple of times now, so I will keep doing them! Glad it's helpful for you!
Running my first ever full marathon in December. Week 5 of 18 in. Having a hard time figuring out all the fueling needed. I am wanting to do it in 5:45, which means 14 minute mile. My last half was 3:02 which was last November 2023. Is that a good goal or am I aiming to high? Plus every 30 minutes during long runs seems to much for me.
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!

Hated running my whole life. Didnt run since i left the army until i heard about zone 2. Only running zone 2 and nothing else in already running better than my army days, 10 years older. Its easy and i feel amazing and i love it
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!
Thank you for these balanced exercises ! I have started running for 3 weeks now and am able to do around 8-10k runs. But ive always had flexible joints and knee problems. Now that i did your first exercise i noticed only how unstable my balance is so i will include it now before i get injured!
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.
Thank you so much, very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
The salt in pretzels is very bad. Celtic salt contains around 84 minerals + is not refined.
You hit so many great points here. For my pace, to get up to 20-22 miles, 2.5-3 hours is not enough! Also, my LRs are around 43-45% of my weekly mileage, there is no way I could have my LR be 20-25%, when I'm capping my max week at 50 miles. The Jack Daniels advice is probably fine for faster runners but not for the majority of us. I'm halfway through my training for Chicago and feel great! Setting personal goals, pushing yourself and listening to your body are the most important things IMO. Really appreciate your content 👌🏽
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!
Thank you for an excellent video
Glad you found it helpful!
Great video! Thanks for the suggestions!
Fueling can be tough to figure out, so I'm glad to hear this was helpful for you!
Just found your channel last week and it is great. But I have to disagree about Daniel's running formula. I follow this program and although I must make some adjustments, it isn't true that the longest run must be 2.5 hours. Actually, the longer run is 2.5 h long plus 4 miles (half on the beginning, half that on the end). Last week I did 2h40 long run. Weekly mileage about 40 miles and my marathon pace would be around 5'40 per km.
I will be running my first marathon in October this year a week before i hit 65. Have run plenty of half marathons in the last few years in the 1.31 - 1.35 range based purely on training for Ironman 70.3s. My run mileage when training for triathlons was 40 - 50 kilometers a week, with lots of swimming and cycling, however i have decided to cut out most of the bike/swim training and just concentrate on running. Have now been running 80 kilometers a week for the last 6 weeks mostly 80/20 and plan on hitting 100 kilometers a month before the marathon. Am curious what effect being now a pure runner will have on my run form. My run legs definitely feel better after cutting out cycling.Hopefully i will find out come October if cycling has been detrimental for my running! I have not landed on a goal time yet but thought i would test myself and run a half marathon in zone 3.
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!
Ooo this video has a steady tone sound happening in the background. Good content regardless.
Glad the content was helpful. Yeah, I'm not sure that was happening at that time.
Nursing mom who just gets out whenever I can totally feeling my "training plan" called out😂
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.
this was the video I needed. I'm trying to run sub 3 hours and did a 1:27 Half Marathon this weekend. The thought of doing another 13.1 miles at the same pace seems impossible right now.
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!
Living in Boulder all this worked really well for me. When I look at my old training logs I can see just how much water I took in and what the weather was for every run. I was able to run up to about 97 degrees and up to 18-20 miles on long run days. But I was younger then and Colorado is extremely dry compared to Japan where I live now at age 67. I have not found myself able to sustain even the slowest pace here for more than a half hour when it's above 80 with high humidity without my vest and about 2 liters of water plus a frozen Aquarius that I start sipping as it begins to melt. And yes, then there is chafing. I still get out there but have to have very low expectations for what I will be able to do. Today it's 86 degrees and dew point is 76 degrees. That's a heat index of 96. I'm taking the day off. LOL
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.
My zone 2us fast walking. As soon as I start to slow run I go straight in aerobic and threshold
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.
Love it! Thank you.. For me Z2 is 70-80% of my HRM, and an easy run is somewhere between 60-75% HRM. Also we need to increase our muscular endurance and at the moment I couldn't even walk a marathon distance let alone run one! So I have no problem doing what I call intervals at whatever pace it is. So alongside normal runs, I now also do Z2, Z4, Z5 and sprint intervals in my training plan and love the rests!!! 🙂
Yes, having range in your training paces is so important for making improvement.Sounds like you're doing great!
My first half- marathon I trained in a pair of shoes I purchased from Kohls. 😝 I went for a shake out run the week of the run and got painful shin splints (an X-ray showed no fracture). I ended up running the race at the back with another runner who pulled her hamstring playing softball. Not very smart! 😫 Ive had zero problems after purchasing good running shoes! 😂
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?
Are faster runners stopping at aide stations to fill water bottles? I’m usually at the back so I don’t see them. Some pacers don’t even stop to drink during half marathons! I can’t run with them!
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.
For me to do kong distance, over 5mi (for me) is an avg 10min mile. Its a natural pace for me. Any faster, I cant go much further than 14mi*
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.
Obviously I have no way of proving this but I posit that 80% of instances of hitting the wall are from what was only mentioned closer to the end of the video: running at a pace you can't sustain the whole distance. Fueling is talked about ad nauseum but if were as simple as choking down a couple Gu's we wouldn't hear too much about the wall.
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.
Ive only done one marathon. I don't know if I hit the wall or not, I think cramps and blisters hit me (around mile 18) before the wall ever did. I prefer Half's now, at least I can race it 😅
Halves are an awesome distance!!!
Great advice! Looking forward to part 2.
Glad to hear that, Joanne and you got it!
Thanks for the vid Jane. Running my first marathon ever this year in NYC TCS, and dealing with some health issues that have made a dent in my weekly rythm and consistency. Will hear your words mentally as I start to ramp up the level. Besides, I live in Bogota Colombia so training at 2.600 meters, means zone 2 is usually a zone 3 reading 😂😂😂
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!
I haven't done a marathon since 2009, I'm now 12 weeks away and finding it difficult to pick an achievable goal time.
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?
I thought I hit the wall in my first marathon... until I hit it in the second and realized that in the first one I was just tired. To this day, even 25 years later, the half-melted Power Bar they had at the aid station at mile 22 is the greatest thing I've ever eaten.
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.

How much to you charge to be my personal trainer? I’m running CIM this year.
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!
I never hit the wall that hard but in my 2nd marathon I ran out of steam at mile 14 and all the gains I made I lost (and more) in the rest. This year I had a great breakthrough by going from 4h53 to 4h13 and the race felt so much shorter than the previous 3. That said I was so consumed by the training and the race that now I am mentally burned out and have a hard time going back into fall marathon training. All my long runs even the double 20+ milers this year I never wanted to quit as I knew what needs to be done and so I did it but they were are all tough. Even though I train my long runs with gels every 25min in the marathon at the end (mile 20) I cannot stand them anymore and have to force me to take one but they are further apart (40min).
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.
sufferfest-describes all my marathons after 20 mi. mark........
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.....
As the half marathon and full marathon are coming in September, this is a video that's very much appreciated, thank you Jane <3 <3
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.
Awesome video and topic. Thanks Jane! I love how you explain things so clearly and succinctly. Keep up the great work!
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 ❤
How come marathon training doesn't focus more on teaching the body to burn fat instead of glycogen, since fat holds so much more energy than glycogen?
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! 😋🤓 🍉🍌🥨🥞🍛
Thanks for this video, Jane. Finishing a marathon without hitting the wall and missing my goal time has always been an issue for me. Very helpful info here.
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!
Thanks, Jane! Long runs are hard but these tips are so helpful for getting through them.
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!
Thanks Jane, great tips. I’m currently working to hang tough in training runs when I want to walk in the hopes I get mentally stronger come race day 🤞
It always is a confidence boost when you push through. Keep going, you're doing great!
I was just thinking of you yesterday thinking I better look to see if I missed a video
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!
Depends on the intensity of the long run.
Absolutely.
Still worth fr 55 in 2024?
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!!
Thank you, had a side stitch today and was having a hard time figuring out why it happened. Might need to find some running breathing tricks
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.
Thanks so much for this video! I just discovered your channel, and I'm on week 7 of 20 for training for my 1st marathon - My long, easy, and pace runs have all been hovering within a minute of the same avg pace. Very tough in the July summer heat 🥵 My goal for my remaining weeks is to maintain a slower pace for my easy and long runs until race day! Looking forward to watching more of your vids! Cheers!
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.
I'm about 30lbs overweight, but still very muscular. Broke my ribs last year followed by covid which led to fat gain, and haven't been focused on losing it until recently. I have to use a treadmill and adjust the incline while briskly walking in order maintain my zone 2. Probably going to be like that for a while until I recondition my cardio fitness or until I lose the extra bodyfat lol.
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!
