I usually sleep as much as possible on Thursday and Friday before the marathon(usually on Sunday) because I’m sometimes nervous Saturday night. I consume electrolytes based on heat and humidity. I try to run even splits every mile. And, like you said we need to consume so many more calories than the normal. I’m in the 60 grams/ hour range. I’ll try the 90g/hr range at my next marathon. And I’ll attach my electrolyte caps to my energy gels! Thank you Floris! And congratulations on a job well done at London! You finished strong!

The best mantra I've heard lately is "win or learn." It's easy to get stuck in your own head when a training run doesn't go to plan, but even a 'failure' is experience gained that can make you stronger when the next run starts. Amazing run, congrats!!

I have a friend who got his wheel last year in Tokyo and this marathon also happened to be recognized by Guinness World Records as the most people obtaining that wheel of medals. I just mentioned this because you touched my heart with your words of appreciation to your family. You really had me going as well. Im preparing for my first marathon in the midst of some chaotic but manageable issues at the same time. Congratulations on your great accomplishment and thank you so much for sharing your experience, wisdom and compassion.

Congrats on your sixth Star Floris, huge achievement! Many great lessons here, great advice. Hard to pick a favourite. For me personally, I have most dialled in and the hardest is the starting out conservatively. It's so hard to not get carried away because of how easy it feels, by the energy of the crowds, to get lured into the trap of 'banking some time' only to loose double that time in the second half of the race... I haven't mastered the negative split on the marathon yet! On tip for something that gives me a lot of piece of mind on raceday: I always try to do a dry run of the pre-race routine (walking to the bagage drop of, walking to the start, knowing where the toilettes are, visualising where I'll do the warmup, etc) the day before. Come race day, I know exactly what to do and how long everything will take. Cheers from the Netherlands!

When the going gets tough think of my friend Mark Ankers; throat cancer, no lower jaw, saliva glands, no feeling in his face to his chest, 18 hour life saving operation, bone grafts from his leg, he’s 49 and has a wife and daughter and through it all he completed London 2024. Use these people as your inspiration and those people around you who endure, support and love you no matter what. This is the only lesson you need to take away, you can do it.

My favourite piece of advice from this video: run relaxed and focus on breathing. Sounds so counter intuitive when you’re doing something so stressful but Marathons are all about the mind and this piece of advise encapsulates perfectly! Congrats on all 6 majors Floris, love your channel :)

Great takeaways right there Hassan. It's indeed counter intuitive but when we run relaxed, we use less energy to move forward. Enjoy your running journey!

Floris, my favourite lesson/takeaway from your London Marathon: take in plenty of gels/nutrition. I've just finished Boston, April 2024, and had to eat a few extra gels on the back half (Maurten Gels supplied) that I hadn't tried before! I have a pretty good stomach so wasn't a problem, fortunately. Thank you for your truly inspiring videos.
