How I Plan a Marathon at 43 — The Mistakes That Cost Me in Rotterdam, Frankfurt & London

Does your marathon race plan really matter? At 43, I've learned the hard way that it does. In this video — filmed during one of my long runs — I break down the planning (and lack of planning) behind my last three marathons: the Rotterdam Marathon, the Frankfurt Marathon, and the London Marathon, and how each strategy directly shaped my result on race day. I cover pacing strategy, fueling and nutrition planning, taper decisions, race-day logistics, and the mindset differences between the three races — plus what I'd do differently if I could run them again. Whether you're training for your first marathon or chasing a PB as a masters runner over 40, this is everything I wish I'd known earlier. 👍 If this helped you, like and subscribe for more marathon training and racing over 40. 💬 Tell me in the comments: do you plan your races in detail, or do you wing it?
