1 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,200 Today I'm here with Mike Janetta, A fellow club runner. 2 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,560 Mike, why don't you start off with a bit of history about how 3 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,320 you came to running? Hello, I'm Mike. 4 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,760 Probably. Probably, like when I was a kid, 5 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,680 like, but personal, actually. Like, I probably started running 6 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,120 just to clear my head. Like maybe my dad separated when 7 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:52,880 I was younger. And like, you know, just like, 8 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,840 you know, run to like a bit of a quiet place and just just go out 9 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,680 running and just, I don't know, just deal with all that stuff in 10 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,519 your head growing up. So it was kind of like a way of 11 00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:11,920 just chilling out, I suppose, just just that I could go out on 12 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,160 my bike as well. It just gives you a bit of 13 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,720 freedom. So I suppose, like, that's 14 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,360 really why when I first started running, I was a kid and then it 15 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,280 wasn't like serious running. It wasn't running fast or 16 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,320 anything. I started playing hockey when I 17 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:27,720 was a bit older. I did a bit of running just to 18 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,720 maintain my match. Fitness like a lot of hockey was 19 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,920 like shuttles back and forward, up and down the pitch and we 20 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,360 were defending, attacking. So I just, I was one of the 21 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,280 faster ones like in this, in this in the team and squad. 22 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:46,200 So sometimes got some of these duties like you're a faster one 23 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,880 so like you're up, you're you're defending the short corners and 24 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,720 stuff and running straight out. So I did a bit running then and 25 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,520 then and it was like uni. I thought I could join the 26 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,920 running club. So I see the London Marathon on 27 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,400 TV. I quite fancy doing that. 28 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,600 And then rocked up to the stand and like went out for a run with 29 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,400 them one time and they said oh, you can't just go and do the 30 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,320 London Marathon, you need to do the ballot and stuff like how 31 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,360 our stuff is. So it's like I'm a way to join 32 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,160 someone else. So then I never really ran at 33 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,880 all. And then, since then, my wee 34 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,480 brother's done some running, had some heart problems. 35 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,320 I suppose my aim now is maybe just to like get back to some 36 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:32,200 kind of normal way of like fitness and being active like I 37 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,360 almost used to be. It's part of the recovery 38 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,840 process, I suppose from that like, I suppose mentally it's 39 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,800 like dollies. I suppose I've had injuries like 40 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,040 under my knee all of a sudden, like you go from playing 5A 41 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,320 sides and doing their cycle and going climbing and stuff and it 42 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,920 just goes from that to zero. It's like sometimes like a bit 43 00:02:56,920 --> 00:03:00,920 mentally like, but like what do I do? 44 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,960 So suppose that's where I'm at, like, so now I'm just to be part 45 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,440 of the club and like get some friends and just get a laugh. 46 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,360 I suppose I'm a little bit competitive, but mainly just 47 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,640 competitive with myself. I'm I'm guilty of encouraging 48 00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:25,080 you to do that. You mentioned your brother was 49 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,560 running a bit. Yeah, he's pretty fast. 50 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:34,840 I'm a long way off him yet. I think I recently ran the race 51 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,920 in Inverness, the half marathon, so I turned up and did a good 52 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,040 shift there. So I think, I think, I think I 53 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,800 did enough just to shut him up a little bit because he we've both 54 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,320 entered this Manchester marathon. 55 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,240 He used tends to do ultra marathons like a bit like 56 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,720 yourself W Isle way. He used the cross in charm and 57 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,960 he did the TDs and stuff like that. 58 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:03,160 So he's running in the mountains mainly, but he fancied doing a 59 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,960 marathon and I was like oh I'll do that with you. 60 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,680 So we kind of ended up signing up for Manchester and it's 61 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,800 coming around fast now. It's getting pretty scary. 62 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,680 How far away is that? It's like two weeks on Sunday. 63 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:22,640 I think 2 1/2 weeks. 2 1/2 weeks Are you nervous? 64 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,600 Yeah, I suppose. I suppose a marathon is a bit of 65 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,160 an event, isn't it? It's like, I don't know, it's 66 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,000 the one that you see on the TV. It always happened in big 67 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,480 cities, like so. So it's my first marathon. 68 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,680 I entered Edinburgh in my youth, but I never ever ran it. 69 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,440 I hurt my knee and injured my knee. 70 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,440 A few operations don't do that, but I never ever managed that. 71 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,040 Everyone says it's rubbish anyway. 72 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:57,120 It's not the best. So I'm looking forward to very 73 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,800 much and all this. I think I'd set myself what I 74 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,560 thought was like a pretty ambitious target about 3:35. 75 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,520 I don't know where that number came from. 76 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,200 That was when I signed up. That was a bit of a guess. 77 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,280 I had no idea where I was going to be because obviously I was 78 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:19,160 going to start running. I wasn't like I signed up last 79 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,360 year. I maybe started running at the 80 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,440 end of the summer. Last year I had a heart 81 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,160 operation in April. So then I started running end of 82 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,040 the summer and it was mainly jogging. 83 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,560 I was just jogging really until the end of the year. 84 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:41,160 My focus is was just on losing some weight, getting some 85 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,640 strength so I could so I could build it up and not get injured. 86 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,880 And then I got to December and I was like, well that box is text, 87 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,240 what next? And then I saw like, you know, 88 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,960 the club and making these club standards. 89 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:59,040 So I thought OK next year or I'm going to get all these try and 90 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,520 get all these club standards looking to progress. 91 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,040 Anyway, I suppose what I'm saying is like I was aiming for 92 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,560 like bronze, bronze, bronze and I was like looking at the time 93 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,680 on this, what's the bronze for a marathon? 94 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,360 I was like, I really need to try and achieve something and I was 95 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,040 like bronze. I need to try and go and so I 96 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,200 thought maybe 335I can't remember what the bronze time 97 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,760 was, maybe it was just over that I was like 338 or something like 98 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,120 that. And I was like, I'll give myself 99 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,920 a three, three minute margin in case it goes wrong and then I'll 100 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,080 get this bronze. It probably came from that. 101 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,080 But then anyway, since then this year my training seems like it's 102 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,280 developed a bit more. I feel like I'm running instead 103 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:45,840 of just jogging all the time, and since then just just not 104 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:47,960 active. I printed off a marathon 105 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,320 training plan. You can find train plans 106 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,000 everywhere. I found one that I looked. 107 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,720 I thought this looks quite sensible. 108 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,400 It gives you some different times for fast and slow runs. 109 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,400 And what do you think, Beginning or intermediate advanced? 110 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,000 I haven't no idea, but so I printed off like I think. 111 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,040 I must admit most of my running is with the dog, so it's pretty 112 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:16,000 stop start pretty low. But this running plan is full of 113 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,480 like intervals and stuff like this. 114 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,000 And I was like, I would say now my running's getting to the 115 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,720 stage where I can maybe do some of that. 116 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:29,520 So I suppose if I had a bit more time before my marathon, I might 117 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,920 have been able to introduce someone that into my training 118 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,760 that might have helped me a little bit. 119 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,920 But this is generally I'm feeling pretty good. 120 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,880 But because we're getting closer to the time, putting pressure on 121 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,800 myself, some people say you can use these running calculators on 122 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,080 the computer. It says your time for, you know, 123 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,880 putting your time at 10K or half marathon or something like that, 124 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,320 five mile, it'll give you sort of equivalent times for like a 125 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,520 marathon. So when I type in like what I 126 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,440 got from 1/2 marathon and like what my wee brother said to me, 127 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,840 generally they say maybe you could double it and add 10 128 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,640 minutes. That says like I could 129 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,640 potentially aim for the solver time, which which I did for the 130 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,600 half marathon. But that's a massive, like a big 131 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:19,760 difference of. Being 1/2 an. 132 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:26,400 Hour. It's scary, like there's no in 133 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:31,160 my head. I was like reality is is is 134 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,919 like, you know, I think I've got the aim for that. 135 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,280 I've got to try, but it all depends how I feel on the day. 136 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,520 I think that's what it's going to come down to. 137 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,159 It's really difficult to say like I'd have to. 138 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,120 So to achieve that it's over time, it's it's maybe doable, 139 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:53,080 but I need a lot to go right on the day and there's so much I've 140 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,360 not. I've not really ran long runs. 141 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,160 I've not tested myself on long runs, I've only just started 142 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,440 trying some gels. I'm really sure if I'm a big fan 143 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,120 of these gels, so. You've only got 2 1/2 weeks to 144 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,520 figure all this out. I don't think I want to run on 145 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,240 my pack, but sometimes I'm thinking maybe just be easier to 146 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,160 run on my pack. I can carry some water and just 147 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:22,920 drink rather than try and choke myself like down down some water 148 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,600 at a water stop. Do you know what's available 149 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,920 from the water stops? I think from what Mark I've not, 150 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,680 I've not read the fine print but I think from what I've heard 151 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,120 from Mark, other club member, he's he's done it before I think 152 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,200 as well. I think he said it's bottled 153 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,760 water which is probably going to be a bit easier. 154 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,520 I've tried it was cops and then the essence found that like 155 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,480 pretty tricky to try and actually take on some water 156 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,200 because you can run. With the ball. 157 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,120 Yeah, and I think the because I've not tried any of these gels 158 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,880 like I had one Inverness and it was they tried one particular 159 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,120 brand. So I bought some of that to try 160 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,000 from Manchester. But I think it's a different, 161 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,600 it's a different one that they I'm not sure if they offer some 162 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,120 of these gels in Manchester. Yeah, every gels different. 163 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,480 Yeah, I think it's different. So I'm a bit wary of. 164 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,720 I know these gels are pretty advanced now, but like, I don't 165 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,440 know, one long time ago when I was playing hockey, I tried some 166 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,880 of these energy drinks. Just, I don't know, I've also 167 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,720 got one for free somewhere. I tried it and I really didn't 168 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,800 like it. Just give you a buzz for 10 169 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,040 minutes and then it gives you a horrible crash. 170 00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:43,720 I think it was the, I don't know, it's just full of 171 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,880 maltodextrin, some kind of synthetic sugar. 172 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,640 So it's. A highly processed sugar. 173 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,600 So I just bought some active route because it's mainly just 174 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,200 sugar. Yeah, I've got some electrolyte. 175 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:03,600 So so yeah, the one I've bought is high 5 S and I'm going to try 176 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,520 that. I think it is just a blend. 177 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:11,240 Of have been multi. Decks and fructose and probably, 178 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,600 yeah, normal. Yeah, fructose, Sucrose, 179 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,000 maltodextrin is usually a blend of really highly processed and 180 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,720 not so highly processed so that they act at a different speed. 181 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:29,520 So I went out running on Sunday, open to the long run, but it 182 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,200 didn't really go great. I managed to eat something. 183 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,280 I managed to take on a few of those gels. 184 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,760 It seemed to go OK. So I'm not sure how it's going 185 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,280 to go on the day, but I'm going to try and take some gels on the 186 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,800 day. But I'll probably mix it up. 187 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,440 I've got some chews, little Jelly sweeties which I suppose 188 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,640 are like a hard form of the gel. Probably try eating some of them 189 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,000 and probably take some gels. Yeah, so two 2 1/2 weeks to go. 190 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,440 Long runs should be done by now. You're on a taper mode. 191 00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:03,840 What have you got to prepare between now and then? 192 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,320 Suppose tonight I was running the club time trial and I was 193 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,520 actually sitting pretty high in the table, so I had a chance of 194 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,600 winning it. I'm not really sure if we've won 195 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,320 it yet, but there was a chance there. 196 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,240 Wait until the results come out. So I kind of thought I'd have to 197 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,720 push quite hard. I think they upped my I've 198 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,680 changed my handicap so and then I had to push to try and get 199 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:28,400 some points. So I don't know. 200 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:33,600 I give it a decent going. I always finish the run and 201 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,040 think I could go a bit a bit more, but I feel sometimes a bit 202 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,800 attentive. But so anyway, that was also 203 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,040 about wasn't about winning, it was about boosting my confidence 204 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,520 and trying to get my confidence back. 205 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,040 I'm not sure have been running too well since Inverness. 206 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,760 I think I'm going to look back and see what running I was doing 207 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:58,000 before Inverness because I seem to, I seem to be pretty good. 208 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,360 I don't know, I seem to be in pretty good shape. 209 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,800 I seem to do a good shift and I don't know if it was just 210 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,000 because it was a bosom race day and I went out there just to 211 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,200 enjoy myself and I didn't have any pressure. 212 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,840 So I suppose I'm just going to look back and see, see what 213 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,800 happened then. I think very much. 214 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,680 I just want to now. I think I've just before I was 215 00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:24,680 like I did quite a lot of trails run up the woods. 216 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,320 I really just want to be away from the traffic like. 217 00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:32,240 But now I suppose because I do running with a dog, so actually 218 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,600 like one of the best runs, it was really snowing. 219 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,720 I just went and ran them through fields for 10 miles. 220 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,720 I think he actually was telling me dad, I need to go home now. 221 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,160 I'm totally spent. So it's like a really good 222 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,320 strength session. I think I did that like just on 223 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,760 the read up to Inverness. That may have been on the 224 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:56,520 Tuesday, I can't remember, but like I suppose like I've done 225 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,280 quite a lot of decent training. I'm in quite a good shape Now 226 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,400 I'm concentrating on tarmac and just trying to run at the 227 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,000 tarmac. Ideally in my head I'd like to 228 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:12,120 try and dial into race pace. I feel like that's what I should 229 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,440 be doing. I'm maybe hearing some of this 230 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:19,440 from my brother as well, but like in reality, I don't run 231 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:25,120 that fast when I'm by myself over the dog, so I don't know if 232 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,640 I'm really going to get a chance to do that. 233 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,520 You say you're dialing into race pace. 234 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,520 How? What do you how do you know what 235 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,160 race pace is? Mostly. 236 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,000 Mostly I suppose that that's a good question. 237 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,960 From 1/2 marathon I told my brother I was going to run at a 238 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,520 time trial pace and time. Trails 5 miles 5. 239 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,040 Miles, he just said, Oh, well, that's going to go well, isn't? 240 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,880 It so you're saying you're on the speed at 5 miles, so you're 241 00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,880 going to run the same speed at half marathon. 242 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,400 So you're just going to run the same speed at Marathon? 243 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,120 No. Like when I I don't know how 244 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,600 many years ago now, before I had kids, I used to have time to go 245 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,760 to the gym. I do quite a little spin. 246 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,480 I used to quite like going to the spin class. 247 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,960 But I suppose Spin's got nothing to do with running. 248 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,320 But what it does give me is I was running with a heart rate 249 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,880 monitor. I was spinning with a heart rate 250 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,520 monitor. So it's just it's different to 251 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,600 running. But I suppose what you learn is 252 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:34,240 like I I wear the Garmin thing on my wrist and it does give me 253 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,320 my heart rate, but I don't really look at it. 254 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:43,520 But I've got the experience of being like back at that time I 255 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,200 would have an idea of what threshold was, you know, based 256 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,440 on the fitness and the age it was and stuff, the heart rate 257 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,200 and that of experience. I suppose that working in the 258 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,000 different sort of heart rate zones from before. 259 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,240 I suppose like when I say time travel pace, I'm running 260 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,080 probably a comfortable threshold like so I'm breathing hard. 261 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,160 I could probably talk if somebody would start talking to 262 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:14,160 me, but I wouldn't really want to and then keep going at that. 263 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,360 That is obviously fine for a shorter distance. 264 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,320 Like I know I probably could push harder on my part run and 265 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,200 get a better part on time. I need to forget about that at 266 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,400 the minute. But so for my time trial, I was 267 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:32,960 running seven just over 7 minute miles and I ran that for the 268 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,920 half marathon. But I think it was just because 269 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:44,360 maybe I was seeing some improvement and then maybe I, I 270 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:50,000 don't know, this must have just been a bit of buzzing day and be 271 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,880 running with other people, not just by yourself. 272 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,920 You can just like use some tactics. 273 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,000 I feel all right, what pace am I going at? 274 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,800 And like, I don't really ever look at my watch to see the 275 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,240 pace. But like, obviously during the 276 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,920 race I was like, I need to check my pace. 277 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,839 So I was like, yeah, that seems all right, seems to be going 278 00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,480 pretty fast. Everyone says I don't quite too 279 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,200 fast, but I feel comfortable. So keep going at this. 280 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,359 And then kind of like that time I just locked on to a couple of 281 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,119 people running about the same pace as me and just thought, 282 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,960 I'll just hang on to these guys. So in the marathon, I'll try and 283 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,000 do somewhere. It's like find a comfortable 284 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:36,440 pace, see if I can. But looking at the calculator at 285 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:45,120 that time I was running that 7 miles to to get this solar time. 286 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:50,040 I reckon I need to be doing 720. I think that's, I think it's 287 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,680 beyond me. It's like maybe I could do that 288 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,880 for 15 miles and then I don't know what's going to happen 289 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,880 after that, like. Going back to your. 290 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,280 Maybe screaming. Going back to your your prep for 291 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,560 the race, how are you getting there? 292 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,400 Where are you? Where are you sleeping? 293 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:14,280 How are you getting home? I thought it would be easy on 294 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,840 myself and fly, but because I've got like young family at home, 295 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,800 there's always loads of stuff to think about, like and pressure 296 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,680 at work and family and stuff. Are you just going to calm or 297 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,720 he's not coming and that's went on for ages, so difficult. 298 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,880 Last minute my wee brother's booked an apartment for the 299 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,520 Saturday and the Sunday, so the race is on the Sunday. 300 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,520 So we're staying over night before and staying over the day 301 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:50,080 after and we're reasonably close to the start so so I should so 302 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,840 just an apartment so I'll take. I'll take my Muesli and I'll 303 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,800 have that in the morning. So I'll try and take my 304 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,920 previous, like, I'll try like I ran a race with my brother one 305 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,720 time before and he was like, oh, do you want some porridge for 306 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,400 breakfast? I just crashed at his house and 307 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,600 I was like, Oh yeah, sweet, I like porridge. 308 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,920 But it didn't go down well for the race. 309 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,640 It was like, it's not my racing food, it wouldn't be my first 310 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,440 choice. So I think I learnt a lesson. 311 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,280 It's like just do everything your own way so you know, I'll 312 00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:23,960 figure out what I'm going to wear on race day. 313 00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:27,600 I'll probably bake some Muesli and stuff or whatever. 314 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,640 I don't know, some banana and honey or something. 315 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:38,240 Maybe get some sugar in and then try and get a decent night's 316 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,760 sleep. Not used to running in the 317 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:49,440 morning so well, I run in the morning with the dog, but just 318 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,080 take him out just to make him happy. 319 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,720 But like, I might try. I might try a couple of ones. 320 00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:01,560 Just get up, eat some breakfast at 7:00 in the morning, go 321 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,240 running at half nine or something. 322 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,320 I'm not sure when. What time does it start at? 323 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,680 I think it starts in a couple of different waves and I think Mark 324 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,720 says we're in the second wave. I've glanced at the paper and I 325 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:18,760 think it might start. I said 940, maybe 930 starts, 326 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:23,840 but might be in the second wave, which maybe 10 minutes later. 327 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,200 So something like that. But probably means I need to get 328 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:34,040 up quite early, eat some breakfast and then I know, chill 329 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,200 out, drink some coffee. My wee brothers says he's going 330 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:43,200 to stop, stop with the coffee, the caffeine for a couple of 331 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,240 weeks so that when he has a coffee, coffee or the caffeine, 332 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,840 whatever in the gels, then it actually works on day. 333 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,120 So probably I might try it. I might try that for a few days. 334 00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:58,960 It works in theory, as long as you're I'm not too addicted to 335 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,120 coffee, that you have the side effects of withdrawal symptoms. 336 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,560 I've never been a big coffee drinker, but like, I don't know, 337 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,200 my wife bought me some kind of coffee grinder, so, you know, 338 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,560 grind some beans in the morning sometime from time to time. 339 00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:19,400 So I think very much was just try and I just try and stay calm 340 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,960 like, and then just try and make the right decisions. 341 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:29,440 Like, I don't know, just a lot of distractions. 342 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,400 Like, you know, my wee brother, he'd be doing his thing and be 343 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,240 like, oh, should I be doing that or something? 344 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,880 Just like, OK, he can wear whatever he wants. 345 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,640 He's doing a different race than me because. 346 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,120 Yeah, well, you're you're running your own race, so that's 347 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,640 all that matters. But yeah, it's like, so yeah, 348 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,520 I'll just try And so yeah, we're going down. 349 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,760 I'll drive down to my brother's house. 350 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:58,440 Doesn't know when probably. I think I'm I'm probably just 351 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,200 going to crash in the back of his car on the way down from 352 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,440 his. He lives in 5 SA couple of hours 353 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,600 from me down to his bed and then he'll him and his mate will 354 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,640 probably drive his car back and forward to Manchester. 355 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,160 So I think it's an easy shift for me. 356 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,200 I'll just like Crash. You can maybe listen to this. 357 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,600 I'll maybe crash in the back of his car and then I think I'll 358 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,240 probably try and use that time to psych myself up. 359 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:33,600 Like in some ways like, I don't know, maybe just like how you 360 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,360 see, you know, like before the Formula One race, the drivers 361 00:22:36,360 --> 00:22:39,400 are sitting in the car and they're just like visualising, 362 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,760 practicing. They're just in their head, just 363 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,000 trying to focus on what they're doing. 364 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,320 So probably just I'll take that time in the back of the car, 365 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:55,120 just trying to think about I don't know anything, just empty 366 00:22:55,120 --> 00:23:00,040 my head and just think about like what's likely to happen on 367 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:05,240 the day or or what happens if this happens or not. 368 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:11,760 Like just probably try and mentally prepare myself probably 369 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:17,200 before my time trial today is like just thinking about when 370 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,120 I'm supposed to be working during the day. 371 00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:25,280 I was just thinking like I need to eat and just, I don't know, 372 00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:28,720 try and open myself up. Going off on a tangent earlier 373 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,600 on, you mentioned that you had a heart condition. 374 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,320 Don't mind talking about it. I've I've not said on the 375 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,280 channel before but I've got a heart condition myself, which 376 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,160 I'll go in another day. I used to be the Mike in the 377 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,280 club that had a heart condition and then you come along, you 378 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,160 want, you want to talk about it Well. 379 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,920 I just, yeah, I've actually blacked out wrong before. 380 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,280 Like it landed on my teeth. I wasn't running fast. 381 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,200 I was just that I had. I was late from work and I was 382 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:03,800 just kind of running back to the car. 383 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,400 Were they running kind of just like jogging movie? 384 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,480 Yeah. I've had some irregular 385 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,080 heartbeat issues, so my heartbeat has probably gone too 386 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,680 fast. Wasn't really efficient pumping 387 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,960 the blood. That means your brain doesn't 388 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,720 get enough oxygen or whatever. The blood flow basically blacked 389 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,840 out. I hit the pavement with my face, 390 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,960 but I didn't feel it got a little crack in my tooth. 391 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:41,240 So kind of hard setbacks like end up in an ambulance and the 392 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,600 time was quite confusing. That was definitely a bit of a 393 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:51,320 symptom like and then obviously it was like ended up in the 394 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:57,880 horse well and it kind of went on from there at some a couple 395 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,920 of zaps trying to get it back to normal, do a reset for that few 396 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,960 times but a couple of operations, keyhole surgery 397 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,120 what? Kind of operations. 398 00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:12,240 Yeah. Basically they go in do 399 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,200 ablation. So basically go in and try and 400 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,800 map the circuits in your heart and the electrical kind of 401 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,520 signals you figure out. Obviously the signals are like, 402 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,960 OK, they're kind of find a route that maybe they're not meant to 403 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,320 take and then the base, they go and disrupt that route by not a 404 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,680 little bag burn or freezer or whatever. 405 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,800 So I had that done a couple of times. 406 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:42,520 It kind of works for me a little bit, but then didn't resolve my 407 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,040 problems. So I actually went out trying to 408 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,800 go running with my wee brother one time, Houston Hill reps And 409 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,640 I was like, OK, I'll try and do that running with you. 410 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,240 But like bash on, we're Hill reps I'll just be taking it 411 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,360 easy. I kind of ran up the hill really 412 00:25:57,360 --> 00:25:59,160 easy and I was like, Nah, I'm not feeling right. 413 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,800 Kind of all went back, back to the start again, back to see the 414 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,320 consultant again. And to be fair, like I've had 415 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,840 really good treatment from the NHS and, you know, you hear 416 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,720 stories about waiting times and stuff and I think I've not had 417 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,200 to wait too long in terms of, you know, a lot of the wait 418 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,120 years and years for any treatment or anything like that. 419 00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:24,320 It's totally unreasonable, I think. 420 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:31,440 So I think I had a different procedure this time and so far 421 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,760 I've only had one little wobble, which is a really, really hot 422 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:38,840 bath. So I think it's probably not a 423 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,480 good idea for me. Your body's probably working 424 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,480 hard to try and kind of cool you get your body temperature back 425 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,160 to normal does. That make you think you 426 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,640 shouldn't run in hot conditions or you not thought about? 427 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,600 It not thought about that, I think. 428 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:56,800 I think obviously like I've got the feel for it. 429 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,640 Probably if things are not right, I'll probably just wind 430 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:05,240 it back and try and figure out what my situation is like. 431 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,960 When I had that wee wobble before, I wasn't really too sure 432 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,920 what was going on and it was the time trial was on. 433 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,960 So I came along and I was like, yeah, not very sure. 434 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,920 I'm just going to take it easy tonight. 435 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,520 And I ran the time trial. I think it was like in the 436 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:29,000 middle of Christmas, New Year sort of time. 437 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,680 I can't remember. The weather was probably awful. 438 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,400 It was poorly attended. I ran it what I thought was 439 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,480 marathon pace, which to me, marathon pace just meant really 440 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:44,040 comfortable. And then I just thought, like, 441 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,280 see how it'll go. I might come back, I might make 442 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,080 it to the end and then I think I actually scored some points, but 443 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,440 I think it was due to the attendance. 444 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,800 So I think it was quite as that's maybe what I wanted for 445 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,200 me, I should have if I'd pushed better. 446 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,960 So yeah so after that they kind of put me back on some 447 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,040 medication. So that's that's the the doctors 448 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,000 that take kind of safety first approach and I've been hassling 449 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,120 them. I don't know if I really need to 450 00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:16,040 be on this medication anymore. So it's kind of like, you know, 451 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,080 I don't know how that's affected my performances. 452 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:25,360 Like, I think the medication was maybe to keep my heart rate from 453 00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:29,240 going too high, so I don't know if that's held me back a little. 454 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,880 Bit like a beta blocker or something. 455 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,240 Yeah, it's on. It's on a very low dose. 456 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,200 So it probably didn't make a big, big difference, but so it's 457 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:43,680 kind of hard for me to judge like where how my progress has 458 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,360 been with the running like. So I came off, I came off the 459 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:52,320 beta blocker, I think it must have been before Inverness and 460 00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,000 then obviously it did really well Inverness. 461 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,320 So I don't know, it's maybe a couple of weeks before. 462 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,600 I don't know if the performance difference is because coming off 463 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,960 the beta blocker has maybe given me an extra gear. 464 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,560 Let's just say I didn't have before. 465 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,320 It's like NHS prescribed performance enhancing drugs, is 466 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,320 it? So, well, performance enhancing. 467 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,680 So like at the same time I was on the blood thinner and I just 468 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,280 got a message I missed the call today from the doctor. 469 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,680 I've been hassling them saying I don't think I need to be on the 470 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,600 blood thinner. So I just got a message saying I 471 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,680 can stop taking that. So I don't know if that. 472 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,200 I don't know if the blood thinner, if it makes it easier 473 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,680 to pump blood around my body, does that, does that actually 474 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,360 enhance performance or or does it? 475 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,840 If the blood's more watery, does it, does it not carry the same? 476 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:46,120 I don't know, like I'm not a doctor, I've not studied it, no. 477 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,440 And before we go. Any further, anything that we're 478 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,880 seeing here is our own personal experiences. 479 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,520 Do not take this as medical advice. 480 00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,720 Go and see your GP. The GPS refer it to the 481 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,760 hospital. The It's a bad day when you've 482 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:10,920 got a cardiologist, but I do have a cardiologist, so. 483 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:12,600 So I'm coming off the blood thinner. 484 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,800 That's the change. I was kind of hope I was 485 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:22,320 hassling the doctor maybe a month ago because I thought, I 486 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:28,040 want to, I want to come off this now and then work up to marathon 487 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:29,480 because I knew this marathon was coming. 488 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,440 I don't really want to come off it. 489 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:37,520 And then this week and not know what's happening in two weeks 490 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,920 time, whatever. So it's kind of that's the 491 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:45,400 situation I'm in now. So I don't know what that really 492 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,080 means. Does that mean that all of a 493 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,840 sudden the pace I want to run at is going to be more difficult 494 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,080 for me and that's the wrong decision. 495 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,040 I think I'm just going to have to go feel again when I finish a 496 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:05,000 run and say I can go faster. It's kind of me. 497 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,880 There's two things. It's like that means I'm not 498 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,600 going hard enough. That's me putting pressure on 499 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,680 myself and being ambitious. I like, I like people that are 500 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,960 ambitious. Like, Oh, no, I like ridiculous 501 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:26,440 as you're just, you know, not lazy, but but like, it gives me 502 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,200 a bit of a goal to like, work towards. 503 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,640 It's like, all right, yeah, OK. I did quite well today. 504 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,320 Everything that went well, that went well. 505 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,960 But I know I can go faster because of this, this and this. 506 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:41,200 So you get a bit experience and you identify like, where I can 507 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,200 maybe like, I suppose what I was trying to say is I just want to 508 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,960 do an honest race on the marathon and I want to get to 509 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,000 the end and feel like a bit of satisfaction. 510 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,760 Yeah, did a good race. Ideally, you want to get to the 511 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:55,880 end. Think I couldn't. 512 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:57,880 I couldn't have given that much more. 513 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,480 Give it a good shout, come away really happy, that's all. 514 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,960 I don't think the time is really going to make any difference to 515 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,360 me. I mean nice to take that box and 516 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:15,960 say I achieved whatever club standard is, but doesn't really 517 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,320 mean I'm not going to win the marathon. 518 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:19,280 No, it is for. It's like. 519 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,160 Winning is you being happy with what you've done. 520 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,080 Like, I'm an old man, I'm an old man and stuff. 521 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,680 Yeah, I'm probably going to want to try and take some pressure 522 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,760 off myself and just go out and enjoy it on the day. 523 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,320 Like I'm the one high five and all the Marshalls, especially 524 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,760 the old wifeys.
