"I battled with things there, that did not come up in training" - I've never run a marathon before, but that is an *incredible* quotation... and I can only imagine how true it is, and how others feel the same to hear that. Well done Sarah!!

Just ran my first Marathon today, my A-goal was also sub-4 but I finished 4:13. Still chuffed tho! Thanks TRC, you give me a lot of inspiration to continue doing this!

As for what's next, I'd actually love love see a video about marathon recovery. Such as PT, icing, how to rest, when to start walking or running, and the distance for those etc.

When I subscribed to this channel, I wasn’t expecting so many tears on camera or off camera (mine). I’ve had a rough time trying to stay consistent with running in 2021 because of either sickness or injury but having these videos keeps me motivated to get back in the saddle whenever I’ve recovered. Well done on your first marathon!

Great effort! I wanted sub-4 in my first marathon and it was a brutal experience. Ran 4:32. But kept at it and now run 2:46. Arguably a 'slower' marathon is much harder than a faster one due to time on feet. You learn so much from every marathon you do. Inspiring stuff 👏🏼

I will keep your words of wisdom in the back of my mind next year, when I go for my second marathon try, at getting under 4 hours;) I was hit by COVID-19 20 days out from my marathon but managed to run it in 04:06:28.. So I know it's possible! I even went to the loo for a poop during my race xD Thanks!!!

Sarah, I know you might feel disappointed that the race didn't play out as it was in your mind pre-race, but you definitely should NOT be disappointed at all. Running a marathon is a fantastic achievement, and this one will always hold a special place in your heart and memory, even if you go on to run another 100 marathons! You only get one first, and this was an excellent effort. Be proud of yourself, we all are! Cheers, and hold your head high!

Well done to all at the channel for building something fabulous!

I finished my first marathon 3 weeks ago and did not reach my target time, I was just happy (relieved) to be able to complete the distance and drag myself to the finish. You're 100% on point when you said that it's so easy to have a time in your head to achieve, especially as a first timer, but the final hour/10k is absolutely brutal, the final 5k for me in particular. Nothing during my training prepared me for that.

I'm not crying, you're crying... Between your videos and Anna's, I was inspired to sign up for my first Marathon next May in Belfast. Started running at the beginning of lockdown last year and could barely manage 200m without wanting to die... Thank you so much for all your videos, and for showing all the sides of the marathon - the highs and lows. You're all my heroes!

Fantastic work to yourself and everyone at the running channel. Keep up the good work!

Congrats! I think having an A, B and C goal is a really good idea for a first Marathon because regardless of how consistent your training is, you never know what that extra distance will feel like. And if you don't hit your A goal, you'll be much better prepared should you attempt the same goal again in the future!
