Dude, congrats. So pumped for you. I was out there too running my 3rd marathon to the tune of 3:07:50. Your amazing pre-race video and your subsequent performance on Sunday has motivated me and inspired me to get to A corral! Time to stack! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

I just cried through the whole thing. So beautifully done, and I’m so very happy for you. The soundtrack drop out at 17-18 really conveys the onset of the hard part of a marathon. And I just love how many people were cheering for you, and how many viewers’ videos you got in here. Congratulations.

Your monologue about pain is inspiring and so powerful! I have a heart transplant and as a kid I was never able to run any distance. I spent months in the hospital waiting for a heart and one thing that kept me going during that difficult time was the hope that one day I could run a marathon with a strong heart. I finally received a heart in 2010 at the age of 25. Last weekend was my 5th Chicago Marathon and I set a PB by 4 mins with a finish of 4:29. I always have trouble with miles 21-24, the pain gets to me and I let my mind break my will power. Embrace the pain, I’ll use that in my next race! Thanks 🍻

Way to go! You killed it and def an inspiration to go keep pushin. I was on track to hit a bq (3:05) and started to vomit at mile 25. Unfortunately missed my goal and finished at 3:06. But looking forward to running the Spring BQ.2 marathon in April and more importantly break the 3hour mark. For any volunteers who see this comment y’all are awesome. As I was puking my brains out one was right there rubbing my back saying you got this and not to give up with just a mile to go. Def pushed me thru

I was signed up for this race but had to decide to opt out 3 months ago because of a big life change. Your channel has been a big inspo to me since you started it (I followed you here from Instagram). It hurt too much to watch your Chicago series because I was so bummed to be missing the race. I couldn’t not watch your finale though. Brilliant! So stoked for you! Top notch video, as always 🎉

BTW this is such an underrated channel. The quality of the content and editing is up there with the best. I sat waiting for this video since the CM ended but didn't want to spoil it by checking the results beforehand. Just the motivation I need with my second Dublin Marathon coming up in just over 2 weeks.

So happy for you to hit your goal and out of all the youtubers you come across as the most genuine and likeable, well done!
