I have decided to run my first marathon. A very big decision for sure because apparently only 1% of the human population has ever run a marathon,. I don't know how true this is but it seems a very exclusive club I would love to join. I will be sharing a weekly vlog.
In this training plan, I will take you with me not only for the running but for the life moments, the highs and the lows and should I have tough weeks, I will bring you along with me.

I appreciate you saying you're running zone 2 and actually running zone 2. So many influencers and creators say zone 2 then they're at 170 and wild paces. Can't wait to hear about your marathon!

Great video, finally some one who admits to a slow zone 2. I struggle to get a zone 2 and usually end up in threshold. Big thanks as you vid has inspired me to try and find my proper zone 2 and not be embarrassed about running to slow

@AubreyRunning 18 күн бұрын

You can’t ever be embarrassed about where you are. Celebrate it. Show it. I plan to show every step of my training in this series because I know people will relate to it and therefore be inspired or encouraged to keep going or even better… try things themselves

The level of running you need to be at to cope with two marathons in a year is no joke. The average full recovery time from a marathon is about five weeks for someone with 2-3 years solid running experience. Experts advise only doing one in your first two years running marathons and then progressing to two a year when you have a serious base built up. If you have any niggles or something is not 100% the marathon will find you out. Your first one is for having fun and not having the worry of two more on the horizon.

@AubreyRunning 18 күн бұрын

Fully appreciate this. I’m hoping that I will give myself adequate recovery time for each marathon. I hope to just simply get it done and not run a specific time

@chrisreynolds8269 18 күн бұрын

All the best on the marathon training & the races. Looking forward to seeing the updates on your journey. I won't lie, the training is hard - not only the running but the time it takes you away from family. The races can be physically difficult but the buzz from the crowd & the glow from self achievement is soooo worth it!

Yeah I will need to be intentional and serious about how I plan the week and for the training in with minimal disruption. We’ve got this!

I admire this commitment 🙌🏼🙌🏼. When i ran my 1st marathon (2019), i told myself that I would stick to only running Half’s. Getting to really know your body and capabilities is 🔑. Stick to the plan, but also don’t get discouraged by not hitting every workout at a 100%. Strength training is also a good way to avoid injury, but you know what is also super important………, stretching, yes, this was a game changer for me. 2023 i did 3 marathons (Los Angeles, CIM 🇺🇸 and my home state marathon Mexicali 🇲🇽) the last 2, i did them with 7 days apart . How, by doing everything I could and that included strength, stretching and mobility workouts. Without that I would have not survived the last one. But i did them and learned that there is no shortcuts to Marathon training. Good luck Aubrey. Wish you the best. 💪🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I've watched a few of Chris' videos and I enjoyed them a lot. Good luck with your training.

Aubrey! I hear you man! I’m the same! First ever marathon coming up this year (but only one 😂), the NYC TCS! Also a big tectonic shift for me. I’m using the NYRR website free PDF training guide, they also suggest Runna. Also congrats on your honesty on the zone 2 pace, I thought I was screwed up (and I live at 8.300 ft altitude). Also…my niece’s birthday + gifts were all Bluey related 😂😂

The similarities are amazing! I may or may not also be running NYC. Not confirming nor denying anything 😂😂😂. It’s all about BLUEY. As for the zone 2, it’s all because people lie about their paces on KZfaq and Instagram and we all think we are either using wrong zones or even worse we are completely unfit which is not true. Keep easy runs easy.

Interested to hear why you're going to follow an upper/lower split for strength training. If you're only able to train twice a week, 2 full body sessions would probably be more beneficial. Good luck with all the training, I'm about to begin training for my first marathon later this year as well. Interested to follow along with your journey as I go through my own 👍

@peterbleeker6810 18 күн бұрын

@@AubreyRunning, may I recommend specific exercises that help you with running. Single leg squats, split squats, lunges are all great exercises. Rope skipping is excellent, too. These exercises target the muscles used when running. For leg press and weight lifting you use both legs at the same time. Of course it would still make you stronger, but perhaps not in the right places. Stretching is also a great way to lower the chance of shin splints. Take into account that shin splints are often the result of sudden increases in milage or intensity. Over-pronation could also cause shin splints.

Three marathons? Yikes! I’ll say this about doing marathons: once you know that you can get through 42.2 kilometres in a run, it makes every other run easier, because you know just how much further and harder you were able push yourself.

@awaken69 18 күн бұрын

in my (hobby runner) experience, long distance running performance is mainly determined by BMI, or how much unecessary mass one is draging around while running. pro runners are always below 20 as far as i can tell. yours is like 25 i would guess (as is mine). do you plan to get rid of some fat for the marathon, or are you gonna try it “as is”? going lower carb and higher protein paleo type diet would make this compareably easy. also walking ir running fasted in the mornig helps a lot.

@AubreyRunning 17 күн бұрын

Nope, this is it 😂😂😂. This marathon will get whatever body I give it. I say that because I’m exactly what you e described… a hobby runner and running is something I simply enjoy. I will however be disciplined in this block and I may end up losing body fat in the process but I don’t have a specific goal for it.
