Triathlon Champion Alex Yee Targets Record Time at 2025 Valencia Marathon
Triathlon champion Alex Yee is setting his sights on breaking records at the 2025 Valencia Marathon. Recently, he has been training intensively to prepare for this major event. His training regimen includes insights from some of Britain’s top marathon runners.
Intensive Training with Elite Runners
In early November, Yee participated in a five-day training camp. This camp was held in the UK and involved covering a distance of 144 kilometers with fellow athletes Emile Cairess and Philip Sesemann. Cairess finished fourth in the Paris 2024 marathon, while Sesemann secured seventh in the 2021 London Marathon.
Yee’s Reflections on Training
Despite the demanding training, Yee expressed a sense of vitality. He stated, “I feel alive,” highlighting his commitment to improving his performance. Although he remains aware that the training may not yield immediate results in Valencia, he focuses on his personal growth and preparation.
Recent Performance
Yee recently participated in a half-marathon, achieving a time of 1:01:29. This was below his expectations, as he aimed for a target of approximately one minute faster. However, he maintains a positive outlook as he gears up for the marathon.
Excitement for Valencia Marathon
As he prepares for the 2025 Valencia Marathon, Yee is eager to face competitors including Sisay Lemma, the two-time marathon major winner and champion of the 2023 Valencia Marathon. He emphasizes that he approaches this race with “no expectations, just excitement,” and looks forward to giving it his all.
