First comment! Fast like Matt!
Valencia training series 1 ✅
I'm just here for the puppy!
What's the purpose of the armband? I've seen a few runners wearing them recently
Happy Puppy Day!
Good effort, Matt 💪🏃♂️ I'm running the Mansfield 10k on Sunday, aiming for 45:30 😅
Very solid effort on the race!
Looking forward to more puppy footage 🐕🤗
Also running the Valencia Marathon. Should be good fun 👌
So based on your previous experience with past marathon volumen towards valencia marathon, how many kilometres will you run to reach 2:20 marathon time level? ✊🏻
2.20 seems like a barrier for a good few youtube runners. It seems like a bit of superhuman thing to me. Sub 3.30 is my goal 😂🙈
Good luck – lower mileage does mean you’re not constantly running tired . With a busy life and kids it can be tough I agree with your wife and puppy!
Not crowing, but I ran 2:19:56 never running more than 60 miles a week. Hills and more hills dominated my training. Try this session 2x 10 miles, a couple of hours apart . Aim for 51-52 minutes . Good luck 🎉
Are you going to canicross with Albert when he is older ?
Well done both on your runs. Need to see more puppy videos so cute
Cool puppy! I ran too, gave you a shout as you warmed up. Was stupidly humid, I'd say close to 70% in the morning, made worse by the sheer number of people around. As I stood on the start line I could feel sweat drip down my back. Great event though!
👀👍👏
Top work Matt 💪
Everyone is different, some crave the volume, some crave the intensity, some a balance. I tried heavy volume last block and was rewarded with a huge PB. Tried lower volume and higher intensity for Chicago block and aggravated my L calf and R achilles doing extended hills (1600m) at 10k power and had to dial it back for a few weeks. Cycling to help assist with weekly volume is great, obviously works for the triathletes. I wish I could stomach cycling as means to push myself when I need a break from the pounding.
Can't wait to see the rest of your build up to Valencia!
Great run. As you say, it's hard when other runners pull away and you can't go with them, but this should set you up nicely for Valencia.
