Episode #6 - Mark's NYC Marathon Tuneup : Speakers & Interviews

2:36:07...can i still get the gear?

mens large

Great run Mark! This is one of my favorite videos here.

Add me to the list of the people that wants to know the name of the first song.

Great job in the NYC Marathon Mark!

Would second the title for the honey claws as well as the site. Also, where can I get a flotrack hat? I would advertise at all of the NYRR races.

My tempo runs haven't been that fast but It feels like I'm running way faster then that...Does that bother anyone else but me???!

Great job Mark! Very impressed with the run and the toughness that takes...keep up the amazing work on the site guys!! Anyone help out with the title of the Honey Claws first song in this video...cant find it anywhere....

what is the very first song in the opening of the video?? thanks.

Is this the most comments ever for a video on flotrack?

Mark, well done, I hope at some point you will let us in on the running that you did prior to you "six days" of training.

Seriously, excellent race.

who won?

it was 2:36:07

was his official time 2:34:59 or 2:36:07

brian johnson won i think with 2:35:47

to bad funtrack fan wasnt logged in lol

Funtrack Fan wasn't logged in, so he didn't win. it was Kerry Nestor posted Yesterday at 9:22am.
2:36:24

geez. 5:58 pace? that's much better than I figured Mark could run..haha. Showed me up.

I apologize for underestimating you Mark. Nice Race!!

Time
2:34:59

Looks like Funtrack Fan nailed it exactly at 2:36:07.
Congrats to Mark!

2:36:07

2:49:59 One second under Abdi's prediction. Kick it.

2:53:37

Collect this info easier by embeding a Mineful.com form form on your site. It will then be organized and easy to spot the winner, me.
I am putting an hour less than what I ran the Chicago marathon.

2:48:13

He'll run 2:43'01"

3:11:45

2:39:47

Judging by the Episode #6 workout, you have a great group to train with.
I will be about 2 hours right behind you. I will be wearing running shoes and a Team for Kids Singlet and I usually run a little bit on the right side of the road. Can't miss me.

go FLO :)

2:46:43 your going to hit the wall at mile 18 and 19. best of luck to you! you should get some tips afterward from Tergat.

3:05:25

needs more training

2:55:12. It's 26 miles! You need some serious training for that.

7:54:03

2:47:15

2:38.43 if you don't hit the wall by mile 21

2:52.24 if you hit the wall by mile 21

2:54:37

2:39:18
Don't get too excited coming off the Queensboro bridge.
Have a blast Mark

2:44:56
good luck

2:43:34

Brad's not going down. ; )

2:52:08 - but with more in the tank for next time.

2:47:03
Go Mark!!

2:45:32

2:39:26... count it.

2:54:33 sorry shoulda signed in

2:54:33

2:37:30

2:51:23

2:50:05

2:47.32.....Good Luck! Watch for the wall on mile 18!

2:47:21

2:46:23

I hope mark could beat Lance Armstrong time. Go Mark!!!!!!

2:45:00

2:48:42

2:49:02

2:47:52.

2:52:13

3:02:55...hits the wall....bad.

Running is in the news alot....Mark for President!!! 2:36:07

I also wanted to say that with Leo and Ryan around, I might not feel as short as I do, though they are both taller then me..

2:52:01

2:51:08

2:45:01

get that bike off the track
2:48:32

2:49:01

2:39:53

2:49:30

2:35:47

2:48:32

2:44.13

2:56.08

If Oprah and Puff Daddy can finish a marathon, then Mark Floreani will have no problem just finishing it. So, there's no doubt in my mind on if he will finish. It's just going to come down to how smart he wants to run it.

3:04.56

3:01:33

2:37:23 if you don't hit the wall.

Have Fun!

2:55:36

2:46.58

3:08:00

2h46m01s chip time. welcome the pain.

2:43.28

3:02:15 It's all in the mind!

2.48.22 Good luck!!!

2:58:23

2:41:30

2:54.89 and oh he'll puke his guts out!

2:59:34

2.44.18 FTW

2:42:57

3:04.36

2:56:44. good luck

2.39.54
Good luck..

2:48:36

2:55.10 to beat Lance's first NYC attempt. Seize the day!

2:47.37

Nice workout...i think 6 days of prep is all you need for the marathon ; )

my prediction - 2:47:50

Why not put all vidoes with High Res......they usually run so much better.
Thanks.

2.47.40 good luck!

for those who haven't seen the high res version, check it out....

Good Luck!

2:56:18 enjoy it

2:03:58
He'll start the race and then he'll probably jump into someone's car on a side street and have someone drive him to the 25 mile mark and then he'll jog the last mile into the finish.

Nice commentary while riding and filming Pat, you're multi-talented.

2:45:17
Mark could run faster but that going out and hard and dying is going to make for a rough last 3 miles.

2:54:32

3:05.20

2:39:16
Have a blast!

2:46.6 good luck!!

2:58.47 good luck mark!!!

3:22:21

2:54:31

2:43:15

I'm going with 2:44.43

2:45:14

2:46:46

2:48:51

2:32:08

3:06:02

2:52:02

2:42:17 is the time

2:45:13

3:17:45 and you die hard!!!!!!! im talking 8-9 minute miles the last 2 miles.....

3:17:46 ... do u have flotrack socks??? bc i dont wear shirts

2:49:30

2:49:52

The BIG MARCOLINO! Direct translation: the Big Little Mark. I say 2:49:43. Don't you go die'n on me!

2:51:32

2:57:45

This proves to be best site ever.....2:27:01 because I think Mark is training more than he is letting us know!

2:41:56

2:54:44

2:59:25

2:52:13 Good Luck!

2:43:16

3:07:23

2.42:34

2:48:27

Good luck Mark!

2:54:37

You've always been running WILD! How's...2:27:04...that is ....if you stay hydrated.

2:55:40

2:39:42

2:48:96

2:49.89

2:47:23

2:46:30

i say mark's going to run 2:54:13

4:30 Mile guy in high school and then ran a 8:48ish steeple to be an All american in College.. I'd say that is pretty dang tough and talented

2:45:50

2:52:50

2:49:28

2:48:52 better than Lance's debut.

2:43:57

2:05:23

2:41.19. That Workout didn't show me much though. But I guess Ryan said he'd tough so I guess, on second thoughts though He is one big guy. guess we'll find out.

2:32.35 because you have TALENT and Amy and I want the gear. Best of luck Flo. Keep up the beats Jov. Amy say 2:43.27 she predicts you will hit the wall pretty hard.

DNF-mile 16

2:42:56

2:53:40

2:51:17

2:53:45

2:52:52

2:52:22

2:43:59

2:47:33

2:54:34

3:13:04

They call me the estimator extraordinaire.

2:51:23

2:39:21

2:42:22 Hook'em Horns babay!

2:43:31

I predict a 2:52 for Mark---NYC is very deceptive, but Mark is tough. I think if he came back and ran it again next year with some training in him, 2:37 baby

2:41:15

2:49:48

2:50:35, prove me wrong but good luck

3:05:18
I hope you prove me wrong.

good luck

3:00:27

2:54:34

2:48:07

3:09.02

2:44:57
hope your even faster good luck

BTW this is the best FloTrack video I've ever seen.

2:46:27

You can do it Mark!

2:43:24

2:49:21

2:50:50 go make it happen!

2:03:58

I am going with...2:49.29

3:02:54

2:48:17....."the marathon is definitely going to be your best shot at gold in the future...i mean you could medal in the 10k, but you have the potential to be the best in the world at the marathon." - Alberto Salazar talking to Kara Goucher
-look who he's talking to now...that's right, Mark "Flo" Floreani

I say around 2:52:07!

2:51:32

I was gonna say 2:40 but if this is his first workout...

2:54:00

2:40:00

2:54:30

2:47:37

2:42:34

I think you will run 2:43.12

2:51:17

2:47:20

2:45:01, yeah i expect to see a ryan hall like finish (pointin up at the sky)

2:53:47

2:55:38

2:50:10

2:47:17

2:53:42

what is the name of the intro song? The song/beat played before braille.

If that is seriously his first workout...I'd say 2:40..give or take 5minutes. Don't go out hard though.

2:52.36

2:53:26 - Good Luck!

2:53:12

2:41:35

2:55:23
if mark drops out it will be at the 18.5 mile mark.(but he wont drop out)

2:57:12

2:58:49

2:46:47

2:48:57

Good Luck, Enjoy the race. 2:52:28

2:49:50

2:56:20

2:58:12

2:56:31 good luck Mark!

ATTA way to go....your vocabulary usage is intriguing...liking it. Maybe you need a marathon a month for continued surprises. I am voting---given unpredictable weather conditions (and not considering too heavily the lack of serious training) for 3:13. That is much more respectable than a slow death or a drop out. Video was great.

3:01:47

2:59:10

2:54:39...Enjoy New York!

Good luck to ya!

love the guy but nothing below 3hrs if finishes at all. good luck and a slow death

2:53:20

haha!

Thanks Peter.
Loving the support. Getting me pumped to go out at 5:10 pace..........
I kid I kid

2:47:37
love,
peter

2:47:32 Good Luck........

I predict Marks time to be 2:51:07... Don't let me down Mark...Good luck and have fun...

2:45:35! pretty close to what u said to me at mt sac. Good Luck Mark you da man!

2:51:20

Most comments I've seen posted in I can't remember. Mark's journey has struck a chord with the country! That or they just really want some Flotrack gear. I have to say, my hat looks slightly cleaner than the one in the thumbnail -- thanks to my dishwasher. Best of luck on Sunday, Mark.

2:47:11.52

2:49:11

I am going to say 2:51.25...Good Luck Mark and watch out for all the bridges! For your next one, come and do Philly, your time will be faster.

3:12:24.78

2:47.59

i agree with track fan, that song got me jacked up!! go mark! yewer is going down.....2:42:48

the grass is so green at texas

You are looking lean & mean but I suspect you lack endurance. 3:17:06 and the end will be painful! But you won't drop out!

The Flotrack boys = so cute! Funny to see 'em running instead of talking about running.
Go Mark! Somebody give him a sammich and a milkshake when it's all over, 'cause he looks skinny.

I hate to be pessimistic but DNF (mile 20) b/c I feel like Mark will go out to hard and then crash and burn.

2:44.53

2:46:24
Enjoy the experience.

Good luck Mark! Ryan says you've run up to an 1:50 in training, so you must be somewhat ready for this. 2:52:20 is my prediction time. Your next marathon will be 15-20 minutes faster though. Have fun out there.

i agree with ryan, 2:40.....2:40:02 to be exact. and that song was sweet while they were running!!! never heard of Braille before

2:38:37.567845332

or a 2:02...world record

2:50 because of the bridges.

2:41:44 for Mark!

Mark, remember in NYC where you weren't so happy with my potty mouth!? This video is "flo-ing" proof! A-word isn't as bad as F-word...but you know what I mean.

I don't know if it counts as drafting if 6'3 Mark is behind 5'7 Ryan or Leo

And I got a little faith.. 2:39:50

2:45:30

It is all fun and games till mile 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:51
Good luck!

2:37:56

I'm thinking 2:44:21 for the loss to Yewer of 2006, his ghost is getting revenge from the Leuvin 800. Though, I am not so sure, that wasn't a half bad workout. I don't know your exertion, however. I'm shooting for a 2:35, and I hope to see you dying from going out too hard--I'll say what's up as I pass you

2:52:17

2:38:17

Don't even think 3 hours....big goals = big rewards!! 2:38:54

2:48:48, Destroy it out there!

2:46:21

2:54:02.5

2:44:04 u got this, do the best one

If Lance could run under 3 in his first marathon, so can Mark. I say 2:41:23
i wear a small : )

2:48:48

3.04.26
Good Luck!!

you got 2:49:26 comin'! The big heart wins the day Mark!

2:54:36... the hills of Central Park might be mean to ya!

2:50:30

Under three hours because the dude's pretty tough! Grind it out Mark!

2:41:15 that's about 6:10 pace. If doesn't get boxed in too much in the beginning then he should be fine. I'm not worried about him going out too fast unless they stick him up with the elites. Sorry Mark, but I don't think that will happen. Good luck.

is that the man Joe thorn??

2:42:25
Good luck!

Mark has'nt been doing the real tough marathon workouts,except maybe his long runs which you definetly have to do if you want to have any chance of a decent showing.2:55.7 Good Luck Mark.Please don't get suck up into a fast pace early on.and you"ll be fine.
