Can you guys PLEASE put her name in the title here? It’s disrespectful and probably sexist not to.

Anyone else have no idea who this is? If you can’t run a marathon in less than 2 hours, are you even really a marathon runner?

What’s the best way to enhance the runners high? That’s my question.

So i hate to say this but you just are what you are. Its genetics, you can either run long distances or you can’t. If your at an unhealthy body mass sure, you will be able to get results but you can’t train your way to being a top marathoner without being born elite.

If she tapes her ears back, she can gain few seconds on the marathon

4:35 If you hate your Achilles tendon and were looking for a very quick way to tear them, do that “minimalist / barefoot running”.
It’s one of the dumbest and most harmful trend in sports.

My advice on water… ALWAYS carry with you on training runs… makes it feel easy by comparison in races when you don’t have that weight to carry…..

Carbs are most important after a run. Protein and carbs together are ideal

When you’re exercising, your body prevents you doing things like urinating and defecating so you won’t usually feel as though you need to wee during a run

In South Africa, (not sure about the rest of the world), you are not allowed to do road races with headphones or earphones, so it’s best to do your practice runs without music to get used to it. I learnt this the hard way. When I got disqualified at the end of a race. 🤣😢

Amazing she has ZERO charisma. She is such a plain Jane, but means well…I guess. Her fate is sealed. Sad.

All of his applies to giving birth. Right gear, right prep, right recovery. I’ve done both, marathon and unmedicated birth, it seriously is like a marathon, except better reward…:)

What do you consider long distance running? I run 4 to 5 km every day but it doesn’t seem long? Or is it? 😂
