Dope video As a 3:05 marathoner, this is absolutely motivating to run sub 3 hours 🙌🏽
Comment from : hi5_centipedes

Great video! I did first full 2021 at 41 years old 3:58, spring 2022 3:53, fall 2022 3:24 and injured a lot this year But I realized I swear excessively and need salt as I bonked on marathon 2 and 3 bad Shooting for a 3:30 this year and have fun, not gonna bonk

Did you also do strength training with weights?

Hey man Any 'achieved' marathon is a milestone regardless YOU FINISHED IT Wouldn't prescribe 'that way' of going out and just running a marathon on a random Due to a high risk of injury But hey, you pulled it off brbrSometimes a 'confidence' not 'arrogance' is all we need to achieve our goals Self Belief even better
Comment from : tru tube

I ran Carmel this year too, I chose it so my whole famiy could come watch me run my first marathon I had the tenacious goal of a BQ on my first marathon out, and was able to achieve it I owe most of that to living in las vegas and training at altitude along with having my family there along the course to support me the whole way! brI will be running my second marathon Saturday Sept 16th at the 27th Air Force Marathon!
Comment from : Sutherland Ingall

Crazy how fast you were with minimal training I finished my first marathon in 4:30 and took my training very serious for almost 6 months
Comment from : Amtranik

This is impressive
Comment from : Ben

Hi，I have a question troubling me：when the temperature is 25℃ or above and with high moisture， how to set the training program？
Comment from : PooPoo‘s channel

Good luck, thanks for the info But how did people run these events for such a long a time without supplements, salt, gels, etc and still have world record numbers Feels like we lose touch with our inner human instincts to just run, and not be so dependent on additional supplements Train, work hard, and run Don't complicate with the shoe, the gel, the weather, the city, the app your using, water, nutrition etc I get those are all important, however, just do it Stop with the whining and "I need this in order to achieve this" blah blah blah Congrats on your journey

Amazing marathon pace SALUTE!
Comment from : Techy B

Luckily I have a leather stomach if its simple carbs I'm good no matter what they are I would just advise never and I mean never eat high fibre food less than 18 hours before a tough or long run You will be greeted by the runners trots!
Comment from : Techy B

Wow quite a lot of puking

Comment from : riley mcgurn

Just found this channel and the story hits home I’m headed into my 4th marathon (Chicago) this fall and I’m hoping to finally break the 3hr barrier Nutrition has been a big factor in the past It took me a while to realize that alcohol and junk food don’t mix well for me Been doing things a lot differently this training block and I’m hoping to finally make something special happen Thank you for the inspiration!

Comment from : chris dorman

Super impressive, what a journey Are you out of focus, though?
Comment from : styx85

Only half-way through the video but so far it sounds like something that could have been completely avoided by reading a book :D
Comment from : leafspring

I recently experienced the same thing with my ankle and I'm a year into running I'm sitting at home now trying to run 3 weeks after my ankle healed itself but got swollen after a 5k I don't know what to do

Currently trying to go sub-3 Last year my first marathon I ran 3:34 Trying to taper up to 60 miles a week and do a bunch of speed work with it Also trying to do resistance training and supplemental training to avoid injury
Comment from : Robert Hulsebusch

Thank you for the motivational content! I used your mantra “if not now, when?” Last weekend to help me to my first sub 3 marathon in Wellington, NZ Age 51 (3rd in AG) Keep up the great work!!
Comment from : Kevin Stanley-Hunt

Love the story but I’ve been running for years and hearing a guy not train and blast a sun 3 hour marathon is so un relatable
Comment from : P Mcfearson

This is awesome! brAs a full-time filmmaker and former professional athlete, I find this very inspiring Speed skating was my sport (not the best for running) and now I have decided to do a marathon in October Thought it would be cool to document my journey and will def use your channel for inspiration Both in terms of the documenting part and the training part!
Comment from : Kristian Vårvik

Thanks for your testimony
Comment from : costa moreira

the second half of your first marathon, you "hobbled" and "walked" a 2:15 half marathon???
Comment from : Ole

Was it worth it
Comment from : TB Lightning Bolt

It was so cool to see you and Casey in NYC last year I Just signed up for CIM for my first marathon ever this december 2023, but seeing yall out there just motivated me hella and I want to hit that bucket list like you did in 2017
Comment from : Dxpert Image

Hi, thank you for the video, I feel you are just pushing too hard? Probably should go even harder on training and be more careful when racing the fact you are always puking and talking about nutrition makes me think you are just at max pace since the beginning
Comment from : damian gonzalez

How do you guys use your salt pills or powder leading up to the race?
Comment from : Gregory Burcz

I’m in love!! This journey is exactly what i am in for Xtri Way to go!!!
Comment from : Kristina Storlie

Video Starts at 14:10 you welcome
Comment from : Claudio Sanchez

Thank you for sharing your running journey, like a lot of runners, cracking the 3 hour barrier has been my goal since 2017 and still have yet to do it You've given me hope after seeing your gradual training approach from being a rookie to training like a pro and finally reaching your goal
Comment from : bluesilverstone

Comment from : Josh Hutton

You ran more and did a few more workouts Boom Saved myself 18 minutes
Comment from : bxg5

Super inspiring!
Comment from : Will Thrall

Great video! Congratulations on knowing what you want and figuring out how to get there! I ran Boston in 2019, and Chicago in 2022 Im running NYC in 2023, but also struggle with the nutrition I feel it every marathon I'm interested in learing more about your nutrition journey and what works for you leading upto the mararathon, and during the marathon Thanks!

Comment from : Ali Hafidi

at minute 8:57 of this video shows the Abegweit, this ferry boat originated in my province of Prince Edward Island, been on her many times back in the day the name means cradle on the waves! i am training for a sub 3 hour this coming October
Comment from : Brock Vickerson

But Bro, why 3:59?? My first Marathon was 3:02:02 ^^ Without any crazy training
Comment from : Airsalut

This video is killer!
Comment from : matteo - runoneslice

So for every race you had an excuse and it took you a while 5 year to break 3 😂😅😅
Comment from : Sainthomas_01

Also cracked 3 hours (Finally) in Chicago 2022 Was my 4th marathon and a 14 minute PR That time I was finally able to crack down on nutrition and hydration (GU/Spring Energy/Gatorade) Going to be in Berlin in a few months so will be excited for that race Good luck in Chicago! So long as there is good weather (like in 2022) you will do well!
Comment from : Joseph Berg

Can I get that plan you used? 👀
Comment from : JT Cano

Been looking for someone new to subscribe to so I'll give you a go Enjoyed watching your journey I'm 59 and turn 60 before I attempt my sub 3 in October I've slowly built from 4h15, 3h40, 3h29 virtual, 3h12 & 3h08 I think it's time to give that 3h a shot @60 I don't have much time left
Comment from : Alan Shrimpton

Nice! I went from 3:57 in 2012 to 2:34 in 2018 Never had a coach though But every small increment under 2:50 gets tougher and tougher Good luck with your goals!
Comment from : Reinis Tops

Could anyone please tell me how to record something like he did in 1:06 to 1:12, thank you xx
Comment from : Christian R

Thoroughly enjoying your videos, Eric I love the planned / unplanned approach It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one! 🙌🏻 I ran Boston this year, my first in the States I hope you run it, you won’t regret it 🇺🇸 🔵🟡
Comment from : Martin Maginnis

What book were you reading about marathon running?
Comment from : Ltrain660

Congrats on your PBs! I appreciate the encouragement 😊
Comment from : Sarah Hokanson

Thanks for this video! We've probably crossed paths on the lakefront before since I'm there almost every day 👊🏻 It's one of my goals to run a sub 3 hour marathon If I ran a marathon today, I'm probably only a little less than 4 hours now I'm good at running far but not far at a good pace which is what I'm working on now
Comment from : Drew Morrison

you know you're allowed to eat normal food ahah like bananas or PB and J, bag of crunched chips, sweet potato puree, etc but anyways, loved your video! good job!
Comment from : Stephane Beaudoin

Such great storytelling, as always, keep it up!
Comment from : CK Hicks

Comment from : Patrick B

Great video! Congrats on your achievements to datebrI ran my first marathon 2 days ago and ran a 3:44:01, which I’m very happy with, considering my current work commitmentsbrMy goal is to beat my dad’s PB of 3:08 at some point and I think this is the inspiration I needed to sign up for another marathon next year!
Comment from : R K

Sub 3 is the sub 20min 5k of the marathon lol

Comment from : SociallyChrissy TV

I eat a frozen pizza before my marathons Sounds crazy but ive never bonked or cramped
Comment from : kylekermgard

Seems like you learned from your experience But I feel like a lot of the issues were easy to avoid The first goo set you off that bad eh?
Comment from : Matt Mah

Congratulations! This is the first time i see a video of yours I am 54 years old and have run 8 marathons so far I plan to keep running til I am 84 so still a long way to get there I was never able to crack the 3 hours (PBT of 3:08) and I think this is probably out of my reach now Enjoy the ride!
