It's never over. Things may look grim during training or during a race, but if you make good decisions, your luck will turn. Mid-August, I had runner's knee and I had to find creative solutions to stay in shape. A month later, I finished my first marathon.

"I have greatly admired your exceptional ability to run a marathon in under 3 hours while holding a camera and talking, and it truly dissolved all the psychological barriers I had towards this sport. Before, I used to think that marathons were always painful and stressful. About a year and a half ago, I completed my first marathon with a time of 5:46:00 - a rather disappointing result for me. I felt fearful, and since then, I didn't dare to think about running a marathon again. However, about 4 months ago, I coincidentally came across the MAF running technique through your KZfaq videos. I found it relatively easy to implement and started training diligently with perseverance and inspiration, especially after watching many of your motivational videos on your KZfaq channel. Recently, I participated in another 42km marathon and completed it in 4:30:00, an accomplishment worth celebrating. It has truly given me strong motivation to pursue a new goal: completing a marathon in under 4 hours in 2023. Coming up, on October 15, 2023, I will be participating in another marathon, and my current goal is to finish it in 3:55:00. I want to express my deep gratitude to you for sharing your knowledge about consistency, perseverance, and inspiration every time I step into those running shoes. Thank you very much!"

Run slow to run fast ! I’ve been doing Maff going on about 2 years and qualified for 3 Boston Marathons and September 24 ran the Chicago Half Marathon and it was a PR and also a New York Marathon qualifier with a 5 second buffer and my average heart rate was 134 my Maff rate is 135. Thanks Floris !

That you're capable of way more than you think, even without a running background! I started running only 6 months ago having never ran prior, and could barely run for a minute or two at a time now I can comfortably run HMs at elevation. Throughout this I've struggled on and off with random minor injuries and pains with no real training plan other than to increase my mileage week by week, but week by week I see my miles going up bit by bit. The more I run, the easier running gets as well, you get better at tackling the mental hardships that you experience midrun, while also get better at staying "in the zone". I plan to run a marathon race next year and eventually want to get a sub 3 hour run!

Can't remember last time I bursted into tears as hard as when you addressed your kids on the finish line. Brings me hope that there is a lot of good parent out there. Huge congratulations

Hi. I don't need a prize (though I wouldn't decline). I actually just wanted to share that you're my favourite running coach and I share your podcast and channel with everyone I know who runs...but in answer to your question...there's so many answers. Maybe the best is: run your own race. Don't worry about the person next to you, you'll never see them again. Concentrate on your body and your run. A marathon is a collection of thousands of steps. The more you can focus and optimize each step, the more efficient you will be. So stay focused on your race and your form.

WOW, so many thanks, Floris, so inspiring and emotional for us as well to experience that marathon journey with you! This takeaway is precious: "You can see a personal best in other ways than your finish time too. For me, a personal best is showing up the best way that you can even when you experience challenges." You have made such a difference in people's lives and thank you so much! 🙏🏾

Man those words you shared for your 2 little girls was simply beautiful! Biggest takeaway for me has been to enjoy the process. Shifting the mindset of trying to 'get through' the run to embracing each moment for what it is. Focusing on the simply putting together the next step forward both in running and in life generally :)

My takeaway is that nothing beats consistency. I recently came back to runnning after taking around 5-8 months off. Feels like I'm starting from scratch. I went from running a 1:44 half marathon during a weekend long run to racing a 2:00 half marathon... So note to future self, regardless of what life brings, don't take breaks, run less, 40-50km/week but never stop completely, those adaptations don't expect you to come back, they just disappear as you no longer need them. And one last thing, you truly can't outrun a bad diet, no matter what anyone says, you could be in better shape, regardless of how much you're running, if you eat properly.

Floris, I’ve been watching your content for 4-5 months since I’ve begun running. As a new runner who was too eager I ended up with injuries. I took a few weeks off and trained for my first half marathon following a lot of your HR training tips for 3 months and I was able to get to the start line healthy and finished under 2:15! I’m really grateful for you sharing your experience with low HR training bc sometimes the narrative around it can be discouraging, but it has been so critical for me in my running journey and just overall health too. I actually watched this video when it came out, but needed to come back and comment bc I thought a lot about what you said how PBs can come in different forms and not just the finishing time - for me, while I’m happy with my HM time today, I was also very happy with how I felt throughout the race, how I felt on the hills, and how I was able to enjoy the experience. I’m excited to continue training for other goals. Thx so much for sharing your journey and knowledge with us!

Loved your little speech at the end ofthis episode about not everything going according to plan. Not running related, but we're building a house right now and it's so true, sometimes you have to just roll with what gets thrown at you! As far as running goes, I'm totally new to this, and its been a while that I've done something out of my comfort zone as an adult. Lots of learning moments figuring out what to wear and take with me on longer runs, lots of new emotions, and new feelings (mentally and physically!) My biggest takeway has been - get out of your comfort zone, it's pretty cool there 😊🤘

Thank you so much Floris and Ben! I had an absolute blast! The injury segment really hit home with me.. and it’s what I’ve taken the most from this marathon. This was by far my PB performance mentally in any race I’ve done, the time was inconsequential. It was an honour hanging out with you guys. I learnt so much and had so much fun! Thank you for welcoming me in. See you in London! Great video! ❤

Great video Floris, I was deeply touched. I ran it too with my brother-in-law, and I've posted a film. We were going at a far easier pace, and it was an incredible experience. My takeaway from Berlin 2023? Running marathons shows that humans of all ethnic groups, faiths, colours and persuasions can come together and share a common goal with a spirit of kindness and endeavour. I was deeply moved by the Saturday 'Breakfast Run' where thousands of people from 150 countries ran into the Olympic Stadium, ridiculing the philosophy of the man who built it. Hotel, expo, subway, start line, race, post-race and more. I've learnt that people are actually good and that there is real hope. Thank you again for a lovely video.

Congratulations on finishing another sub 3 hour marathon under challenging conditions. It always amazes me how you manage to talk and still run pretty speedy kilometers!! - A recently learnt lesson for me is - it is ok to be hanging out in the back of the pack. In fact, I think they have more fun. Happy trails.

@dan-312 9 ай бұрын

Powerful concept - "You can see a personal best in different ways other than your finish time too. For me, a personal best is also showing up the best way you can even when you experience challenges. And that can be within your running, that can be within your professional life at work, that can be within your family life." Hope everybody listening to this can reflect on all of life's PB stepping stones along the way in pursuit of their overall PB's.

Again, congrats!

@hamzabenarafa6782 9 ай бұрын

the lesson I learned from my Berlin Marathon(yes i run Berlin too 😊 sad i didnt met you there) is that even though I got sick towards the end of my preparation, I managed to run the first 32 kilometers at the planned pace. However, the last 10 kilometers were incredibly tough, but I was able to push through them thanks to my mental determination. It really made me realize how crucial mental strength is to achieve your goals. It shows that mental resilience can make the difference between success and giving up, even when conditions are less than ideal. It was a challenging experience, but it taught me to persevere and never give up, no matter the obstacles

Giveaway are temporary but lessons get itched into our mind which helps us to grow as a runner. I felt like running with you the whole time and got emotional when you dedicated your Berlin Marathon 2023 to your two adorable girls 💞 The most important lesson or takeaway from this for me is that the days leading upto the race day are equally important as the race day itself and not giving in to the temptations on rest days will be alot helpful than doing something unplanned which may cause injury. In the end, very rightly said that the finishing time is just a number and PB in itself considering the situation on race day. Thanks for letting us be the part of this amazing experience. Looking forward to seeing your world majors ahead 😀👍🏻

@iamzeus6195 9 ай бұрын

We enjoy every morning. Hill station running is a little difficult. Before the finish line, we remember one line that is "no human is limited" and we do our best. Extra push when it feels like enough for today is the lesson I learn everyday.

Thank you for the wonderful video. Was so happy to meet you (and your parents!) at the shakeout run. Like you, this was my fourth world major and I have taken away something from each of them. With this one my hamstring cramped up at 16 miles, I slowed down for two, felt better but then cramped at 22 miles at I was toast after that. I think I didn’t eat enough gels as during my training I would eat every 40 minutes, but didn’t account for expending more calories during the race and should have dropped it to every 30 minutes. Was still able to get a PB by 1 minute 31 seconds but felt pretty crappy at the end. I think of it as my best worst race so far. Thank you again for the inspiring words and content. Cheers to the entire running community and those that completed the Berlin Marathon 2023! 🎉

My husband and I just started running in February 2023 in the hopes of getting active again. We were athletes when we were younger so we thought running won’t be that hard. March 2023 was our first race, we ran 12K and boooooooy we died after! HAHA! But we went back right away into training for our next race which is a half marathon in June 2023. Thinking about our first race, we thought running was easy especially for former athletes. But just like any sport, you gotta go back to the basics. We had to unlearn, learn and relearn about a lot to be better. We’ll be in our 3rd half marathon this weekend and we are aiming for another PB. We are very thankful to runners like you, Floris who are making insightful content. We have been dead serious about getting better in running and contents like yours have helped us a ton. We are aiming to run our first full marathon in 2024, targeting sub 4 hrs finish. Watching videos in the recent Berlin Marathon motivates us a lot to train harder.

Thank you for sharing your experience and being super honest about your struggles. It would be so easy for you to only share the highs but it was comforting to see some lows as well. I signed up for my first marathon and I found your videos very helpful. It's been a difficult adjustment to switch from strength training to running but I want to challenge myself. I am so happy to see that when I have the motivation and the exact goal I can really push my body. But after watching this video I know I will need to take a step back sometimes and let my body recover (always struggled with that).

I have my first marathon coming up in 3 weeks. I think I'm going to be just as emotional, if not more than you Floris. One thing that has frustrated me during this training block is life. A few weeks ago I went to Spain to see family and the lifestyle over there does not fit into a marathon training block. Feeling as though I've not completed my training sessions well, and coupled with just finishing up recovering from a cold has felt as though it's knocked me back a bit. All that being said, I've realised I'm fitter than ever and worst case, as long as I do light sessions until my marathon, I'll enjoy it and I'll run very well. Thanks for the inspiration Floris.

Well done Floris, I did the Berlin marathon a few years back and it's calling me again. Well done on getting through it. The biggest thing I've learnt is more runs at zone 2 which I know you advocate. Then when I have to do speed work I'm not trashed so can do it harder and measured. Marathons are an emotional experience, highs and lows and your right you can expend a lot of negative energy in a marathon phase and it can drain you.

What I learned from running: In running, as in life, there will be times when you want to quit, when the finish line seems impossibly far away, and when the road ahead appears insurmountable. But by persisting, by taking one step at a time, you discover that you can overcome obstacles you never thought possible. You learn that resilience, dedication, and a willingness to keep going, even when it's tough, can lead to remarkable achievements. Running has shown me that the path to reaching my goals is not always smooth, but it is the willingness to endure and to keep moving forward that ultimately defines success. It's a lesson that extends far beyond the track or trail and serves as a valuable reminder that in life, too, determination and persistence can lead to remarkable accomplishments. Thank you for the video floris!
