hurting
[Music]
i've done i've done this once before ran
the vegas rock and roll marathon
[Music]
it was fun until it wasn't shake off
that pain shake off that pain my legs
started to kill at around 11 miles i can
only walk now my legs are in too much
pain i limped the last six miles didn't
train properly this time i am doing
other training strength training
hopefully will counteract knee pain and
other pains i might get but since my
last marathon i have come down with a
horrible case of the late 40s early 40s
feels like late 40 some days though
hopefully that won't be a problem and
i'm doing hal higdon's novice two three
shorter runs tuesday wednesday thursday
one longer run saturday cross training
on sunday like biking or something for
18 weeks
time for a run middle of the second week
of training i'm still sweating i
showered but the shower does not
magically keep you from stopping
sweating the more i do it the better i
feel who knew exercise would be good for
you the problem with it is it takes a
lot of time and also it's hot it's gonna
get cold though and then i'll complain
about how it's cold
[Applause]
it's cold
this will be the first time i've ran
nine miles in a matter of years
did it and it was awesome it's weird to
like something like that i just like it
okay so i woke up with this major pain
like in my hip flexor like right there
nathan my trainer is giving me some
stretches to do told me not to go for my
run go for a little walk instead
hopefully this goes away because i don't
really put a damper in my plans okay
it's been a few days of doing this
workout right here which was a bunch of
very helpful stretches and i feel better
which brings us to the thanking of this
video's sponsor copilot you've heard me
talk about them before when they were
called delta trainer i have not stopped
using them since i started talking about
them nathan is my coach and i talk to
him nearly every day and i get a
personalized set of workouts every week
he guides me through each movement and
gives me feedback you've really made
this a lifestyle thing if i don't see
you do a workout in the day it's more
jarring now i feel better when i work
out or when i run that's awesome
this is who you are now and he's been
incredibly helpful getting me through
this marathon training without
destroying myself like i did before what
was your approach while i was training
trying to help your body stay efficient
at just functioning marathon is not an
easy thing on anyone's body pounding on
your quads and your calves which will
then affect your knees and hips and
everything else we worked on your glutes
and mobility all of the things that your
body needs to stabilize for you to run
practice it appears to be working last
time i trained my iliotibial band was
killing me and i have no i.t band pain
increasing the distance and i don't want
to die so i think we're good and i
consider nate my friend now so now i
actually have a friend that's great if
you want to try out copilot click on the
link below and get your own co-pilot for
20 off for the limited time of forever
there's also a 14 day free trial so you
can just try it and there's a beard
lover leaderboard on here with 446
members and i'm currently 9th place
so thank you nate and thank you co-pilot
moving on today i run 12 miles big bars
or actually snacks for ada but i take
them with me on longer runs in case i
get hungry several podcasts one of them
off menu james a caster and ed gamble ed
gamble at gimbal ed eddie eddie eddie
gium gim comedy bang bang sometimes i
like to just not listen to anything
i had to stop get some coconut water two
weeks ago i was able to do nine miles
pretty much non-stop but this time it's
harder it's hotter the heat makes such a
difference
my legs feel kind of like jelly the last
couple of miles were how would i
describe it flailing for my life there's
a lot of flailing going on i would
describe this flailing it wasn't as hot
today the temperature is probably the
biggest factor when it comes to how
enjoyable a run's gonna be this is
probably why everyone's always talking
about fitness and running in l.a when
you have perfect weather all year round
here if it's super cold it sucks if it's
super hot it sucks worse but you gotta
do it
you don't do whatever you want i've had
a toe issue started to look a little
gross and i've gotten some anti-fungal
cream i don't know what the problem is
i'm not gonna show it to you probably
gonna order some new socks nipple
chafing is an issue i've ordered some
new shirts as you run more and more you
discover more problems and more gear you
need to fix it hopefully i would love to
run a marathon in under four hours i
don't think this is a goal i can achieve
but
at least get under four and a half so
many marathon runners out there like
there's nothing
you should probably try to be a more
pleasant person i got a new shirt
to prevent nipple chafing gonna go 14
miles and i got my friend rob here he's
going to bike alongside me and i got
this shirt specifically for nipple
champion okay you like you're you want
it to change right now i want today okay
tamara hi hello you're not joining me
hello son on the run
hello son that's an old reference and
this is my friend dad yes and i'm
joining too yeah and i got this shirt
because
the badgers are playing today i should
clarify they're joining on bike while i
run how you guys feeling you want to
quit yet i'm feeling good
they abandoned me
did it how's everyone feel
good
chickens chickens
i feel
very hungry surprised at how
fine i feel actually another thing i
noticed is that when i listen to music
as opposed to a podcast or something i
run faster one theory is when you're
listening to a podcast your mind is
processing a lot of ideas and that takes
more energy when you're listening to
music it's really easy to tune it out
and just go brain dead while your body
does the running that's what you want
you want to be brain dead in life you
know tomorrow though 15 miles
that's a lot
for me some of you marathon runners are
watching and being like just quit
complaining and do it dude some of you
are watching me like 15 miles i've never
even moved that far in my life different
runs for different huns you know what
i'm saying
hon
you know what i'm saying honey it's got
some gatorade in there got some water
got a banana some fig bars sounds like a
party it does
oh hey
it was pretty it was a challenge
how you feeling dad
i'm feeling pretty good it was a nice
bike ride
i apparently started a week later than i
was supposed to and i would have ran 13
miles today but i'm skipping that week
going up to 17. it's a lot are you sure
you're ready yes i'm ready okay see if
you can get some footage with my phone
along the way this time i'll try i never
get any footage of me running no they
might not believe you
i know we so you got to prove it yeah
okay okay let's do it okay
[Music]
i am very tired for some reason i think
i know the reason
dare to dream 18 miles today so last
week after 17 miles i didn't feel great
the rest of the day i did some reading
and it seems like i might not have
consumed enough electrolytes or carbs
while running apparently i'm supposed to
drink like 16 ounces every hour and
something like 40 to 60 grams of carbs
every hour i'm gonna run through the
uw-madison campus my school i went to
haven't been back in quite a while it's
gonna be a very picturesque run looking
forward to it
[Music]
today 13 miles which doesn't even seem
like a lot now but i also feel
way more prepared spilled a little water
over here as i say i'm prepared wow i
got this with electrolyte drink in it a
bunch of fig bars in the pocket shorts
where there's a pocket from my phone
right there so it doesn't jostle around
for the second hour of my run
coconut water that i will pour in here
been listening to a lot of comedy bang
bang and off menu with james a caster
and ed gimble gamble gimbal gamble
they've been entertaining me through the
pain i did it 19 miles i would have to
do about seven more miles and i'd have a
full marathon
i could do it
but i will suffer so last week my foot
was hurting a little bit it was a sharp
pain in the top of my foot and i took my
shoe off and i ran a little bit barefoot
and then the pain went away so i figured
out the cure
what is it take my shoe off and run with
my were you we're not listening yes oh
yeah yeah
now today oh 20 miles the longest run of
the training it's only one more than 19.
shouldn't be a big deal right no
shouldn't be
20 miles i did it how you feeling dad
well i had some up hills and downhill so
that's doing pretty good
that was actually easier than some
shorter runs that i did maybe because it
was hotter and i wasn't as good at
getting the carbs and electrolytes i
think i could do 6.2 more
hey
tomorrow they say it's gonna be
28 degrees in the morning when we start
at 7 am
i am so president of madison festivals
non-profit organization owns the
marathon so yes madison marathon is a
non-profit fundraising event 30 seconds
30 seconds to go at the start of the
marathon
[Music]
five four
three
two
one
[Music]
somewhere around 11 miles ahead of the
pace
see if i can keep that
up it's the longest i've trained getting
close to mile 21 now
hurting
my foot's hurting
my hips are hurting
it's cold
longest three miles of my life
[Music]
that was the longest three miles of my
life
[Music]
i did it more than an hour faster than
last time and it was much less painful
still kind of hurts to walk but
recovering faster than last time many
blisters on my feet but all in all it
feels really good
um
now i'm just gonna rest for several days
before i start running again and after
several days about a week i started
running again and now i am running more
often and longer distance than ever
before i'm running six miles every
weekday and my knees don't hurt at all
thanks again to copilot and nathan for
helping me along the way i am so glad i
did this you guys no regrets everything
is good oh yeah and the best picture
that has ever been taken of me in my
life was taken by the marathon
photographers photographers looking good
gotta get those carbs
i should clarify i was not only eating
bananas i took one banana with me i had
some fig bars and some goo everyone's
different do your own research about
what your stomach can handle and how
much carbs you might need for a run
trial and error helps it hurts but it's
something you should probably try to
figure out if you're going to do super
long distances and here's some stuff you
can click on previous challenges youtube
thinks you like that video so it's good
you can support me on patreon if you'd
like to
good luck with your running or you're
not running
