Fuck yeah comrade! Was it your first one? How did it go/how do you feel after?
I’m training for one right now but It’s gonna be another 11 or so weeks before I get up to that point. The half marathon distance is next week so I’m looking forward to hitting that milestone.
My first marathon. I started running this exact day year ago.
I did it in 3:50:20.
The last 15km I was talking with god. It was so very painful. The course was quite hard. Hilly with dirt paths which I think made everything a lot harder. Also it was 33C today.
Afterwards i felt pretty good. I hydrated, ate a lot of fruit, and smoked a cigarette with my mates. I also cried a bit. It’s been a journey.
This was the Bath Two Tunnels Marathon in the UK.
Good luck with your training. Take it seriously, and on the day remember to have fun.
Holy shit, even attempting a marathon within a year of running is super impressive. Did you have an athletic background in other sports? I’ve been running regularly since 2020 and the longest race I’ve completed was a very slow 10k. And I actually played a lot of sports growing up but long distance running is so challenging for me (was more into sports with short bursts of speed).

Sub 4 with only a year of running under your belt is really impressive. Good job!

Climbing a bit, bit not really no. Being in China inspired me to take it up.
those are super impressive stats all around! and I cannot imagine running in that heat. major kudos to you.
Doing this after running a marathon is flexing on mother nature.
