CHESTER Marathon 2024: MARATHON 2.0 Race Vlog

Описание: Chester Marathon 2024........my second ever marathon and my second at Chester after running it in 2022, finishing that day in 3hr48 on my first attempt.

Those that have followed the block this time, know its been eventful (disrupted weeks, injury niggles and limited long runs), and as race day approached I realised I was lacking in proper long run training and I wasn't completely sure where I was fitness wise.

Therefore, I decided to enjoy the race as much as possible, take the time pressure off slightly and try to do what most marathon runners don't do, and pace it properly.....!

00:00- Intro
00:19- Race Start
01:24- 10k Check-in
02:24- 20k Check-in
04:15- 30k Check-in
05:03- Race Finish

How did I do?

All in all I was pretty happy with my performance on the day; I think I paced it pretty well, and I was delighted with my aerobic fitness (I felt like I could have ran that pace all day long). It was my legs that were lacking, and my limited strength and conditioning work showed in the second half.

I will do a full race analysis vlog in the coming days; diving into the data and dissecting how the race went and how I felt as the miles went by, so look out for that.

Well done to all the runners, it was great to meet so many people on the day, see familiar faces and I enjoyed chatting to everyone as I ran along.

Let me know in the comments if you ran, how you did and your memories of the day.......

The marathon is a hell of a distance, and one that needs time, effort and patience to master........I'm nowhere near mastering it yet, but I am improving.

Thanks as always for watching, and all the best with your running......

Happy Running!
