After successfully using my Garmin 265s’ Daily Suggested Workouts to secure me PBs in the 5K and 10K this year, I’ve recently been using my Garmin again to see if it can help me secure a new PB – this time at the 2024 Berlin Marathon! Follow along for ‘Series 2’ for the last 3 weeks of my training to see if technology knows best (again!)
I’m 15 weeks in to following the Garmin DSW for the marathon, so I’ve brought the YouTubes back you join me ready for the ‘peak’ weeks, taper and race day…

Lucy, the ‘can’t be arsedness’ feeling is perfectly normal. Just roll with it. You’re nearly there! So close!!
Good luck to Berlin. 👍🏻
Another great video. Love seeing the highs and lows, they’re what keep it real. Good luck. Eagerly awaiting the “after” report.👍
Yo I have a marathon in 6 weeks and I'm also seeing the 1 week taper – I'm worried too but you got this, I got this!!
Another week closer to race day 🏃♀Hope the taper continues to go OK and you sort out the leggings/shorts issue. Looking forward to next week’s update. 😍
Lucy, another amazing video! I especially love the garmin morning report that you display each day, really good to marry the data up to your runs. I think the black outfit would be cool, and comfy is king on race day! The swans are so lovely, so cool that you could follow them on your journey as well as their own. Love to see the Casio watch route to a PB LOL! Berlin is so close! =D
Loving your videos so much Lucy! Black and orange, you've got this 😊
Youtube just recommened this video so something is working right! I'm also training for (my first proper) marathon so this all very relatable 😅 Just thought I'd 'comment for the algorithm' but also to say I got some anti-chafe stuff from from amazon for long / hot runs (Gold Bond Friction Defense) – sorted it right out 👍
Good luck, girl!
