@UltraRunner26 17:50 whilst in the middle of the peak weeks of a sub-3 marathon block. Looking forward to racing one on fresh legs 💪

@burned1078 @scottroots @MavicDronePilot Thank you 🙏

[Stephen Tomlinson @stetomo89]

@burned1078 @scottroots @MavicDronePilot If you look at the full 6 months, the first dip week was a slight niggle so I took 3 days off. Then the second 42km week was a planned de-load week because I went abroad for a family holiday and was due an easy week so took it when it fitted in with the family schedule.

@scottroots @MavicDronePilot Good luck, 6 months is a substantial amount of time to go from 3:10 to sub-3. I just made sure I ate enough food during the block also. Sometimes felt like too much but it was important for recovery. my weight has remained the same from beginning to end even with the extra food

[Stephen Tomlinson @stetomo89]

@scottroots @MavicDronePilot My apologies, I’m not an expert in any sense but from Manchester April 2024 to York October 2024 was 6 months to the day and my main change was a substantial increase in easy volume which after a couple of months allowed me to really increase the amount of tempo and vo2 max work.

[Stephen Tomlinson @stetomo89]

@scottroots @MavicDronePilot of what I’ve achieved in the block and that sense of trusting the training and just letting the legs go with confidence was something I’ve never had before. Race day execution was spot on. Hope one day to work towards the times you guys are putting out ♥️

[Stephen Tomlinson @stetomo89]

@scottroots @MavicDronePilot 🤣 I’ve just put together a really decent block with a lot of high volume weeks over 100km and multiple PBs along the way. 17:50, 36:38, 1:22:30 all within the block. But at the same time, I said to my teammates if something doesn’t go to plan and the PB is off I’m still proud

[Stephen Tomlinson @stetomo89]

@scottroots @MavicDronePilot Thanks both. I was super happy. I’ve had 3 previous marathons (3:44, 3:30, 3.21) but this one was an absolute masterclass from the training block to the execution of fueling and pacing and the feeling of that all coming together after 6 months of dedication is something else 😎
