Huge congrats man, a great PR. A mega effort being made, and you did yourself proud. I started following your journey for this attempt, as I'm currently training for my first marathon, and pushing for a 3:30. Hope I can match your goal b and finish with a smile! Your sub 3 will come with time.

Definitely a respectable time Joshua. The marathon is a tricky beast and a lot of things have to come together for that special day. It does sound like you had a PR though and that is something to be really proud of. They get harder the further along we go on our running journey (and as we age). Running a marathon after being sick is doubly hard too. Either way, love your post race attitude towards it all and while I know you were disappointed, you still had a smile / positive attitude. Looking forward to hearing about your race breakdown and what you thought about the race in general.

Going away with a PR while sick and after running 7 miles the final taper week is impressive! Congrats Josh!

Great job man! PR is awesome! Got my 'Sub-5 in Philly' lol! 4:59.37 Cramped up hard at mile 22. Look forward to following you on your journey to finally cracking sub-3. You got this! Cheers!!

Great race! I ran yesterday at Philly as well for my first marathon Ended up getting 3:36. Definitely going to keep following your journey, keep it up! 👍

Congrats on the PB! And thanks for taking us along for the ride. Watching runners go for their goals is almost just as fun and chasing my own. Look forward to a recap

Ran yesterday in Philly as well. First marathon ever! Thanks for a great recap.

Congrats on the PB, good to beat your previous efforts and continuing to improve, keep chipping away mate and you'llget there. I'm chasing sub 3 too, ran two marathons this year and got 3.08 and 3.02. Going to train through the winter and chase sub 3 in April 🤞

congrats on a PR! too bad about getting sick, but you're obviously on the right track and making big progress. Need a recap of all these races and which one you'd most recommend!

CONGRATS!!!! Amazing job! So proud of you!

Congratulations on a great time, Josh! Well done!! Thank you for posting! That's me @4:21 in the sunglasses and white arm sleeves on the right. I was with you guys for majority but lost you at some point. I finished 2:59:32. Congrats on a great finish and a great video!!

Congrats, even though not (yet) getting to your goal. One day you will get it! The ones with determination are the real winners.....

Nice job, dude! You're getting so close!

Josh congrats on the PR, it was a great day in Philly. I missed my goal too but it was damn close! I gave you a shout out right at the hairpin turn to go back towards the finish! Great video, on to the next one! 💪

Great job! Well done on the PR!

Congrats on the PR! I ran the Philly marathon this weekend too, it was cool to follow your training for the same race. Best of luck in the next one!

Awesome video brother. I had so much fun at the shakeout and it was great seeing you pass by a few times. You’ll get there! Philly was a blast! Can’t wait to see what’s next for you

Good job! Inspiring!

My son and I ran the same race. We both PR'd, me with a 3:34, him with a 3:40. Every finish is a win. Every attempt is heroic. The medals are the best..

Congrats on the PR! Didn't hit my goal time but finished with a smile on my face aswell. Crowd was awesome and enjoyed every minute, onto the next.

Ah that sub-3 is for another time 🥳 then. Nice to see you enjoying that marathon and running a PR! Great day after all!

Congrats Joshua! And I just love that the medal jingles! My friend Chris ran the marathon as well.

Good job. You lucked out on the weather this year. Last year it was freezing.

Great weather that day!!! My first marathon. I must’ve just missed you because I finished a few minutes behind you. Friggin amazing event, We had so much fun while we were there. Can’t wait to run my next. And yes I would def come back to Philly again for a marathon if anyone is thinking of running it

Awesome run! You are very close to the sub 3 marathon, I'm sure next marathon is yours! I've been also prepping for the sub 3 but got injured couple of times throughout my training. I will be doing a Dallas Marathon on December 11 and will target sub 3:20 and next year will target sub 3 again.

Congrats Joshua! it's a great achievement and you made the race looked effortless and an easy run instead of a full marathon! being sick right before the race sucks, there's always a next time to reach for the sub-3 goal.

Smart race. Congrats in the PR. Just keep trying at sub 3. Youll get there

good stuff dude, shamrock marathon in VA Beach is in March. Good race to parlay the training from this race into an early spring race. Its certified as well. The course looks pretty fast so it seems like many people PR there, if you are willing to travel

Good for you not flying, keep ”not learning” we all thank you

Current calf injury for me sucks but your video an inspiration :-) You'll get it next time.

Congrats on the pr

Great job on the PR! You'll get that sub 3:00 someday. Every training cycle compounds and we learn and grow along the way. I'll be going for attempt #3 of a sub 3:30 in April. Good luck and keep on learning!

Man I was pulling for you bud will you’ve a new subscriber- I am doing cim in Sacramento in 9 days for my first attempt sub 3 ugh - although feel like I got it - thanks to all the runner - my last marathon was a big success at 3:05 LFG - 🖤🏁

Strong work Josh! sub 3 Houston marathon next??

Heck of an effort

Sorry I didn't make it out this time I was planning on coming, but they ended up having a flat fast course in my hometown, and I did run a 2:59:14 on my 50th birthday I seriously don't think I would've made it under 3 in Philly simply because of the travel and waiting around before the race Great effort bro - it'll come - just put in the miles!

How did Puddles get on your hat? 🤣 nice job on a PR! Thanks for the video!

Great job Congratulations! 3:08 is damn good, I wish! Congrats again.

Hi Joshua! Thank you so much for such an informative video! I'm a new marathoner who just signed up for the Philly Marathon this November 2024. Will be my first marathon out of my city (Pittsburgh) so thanks again for this video and congrats on the PR! Also - does the marathon allow GoPRO in the race? I'm planning on bringing mine as well. Not sure if you filmed this with a GoPro but if you wouldn't mind sharing the film settings I'd appreciate it!

Hey Josh I was following and thought you really had a shot at a negative split and sub 3:00. At what point did the wheels fall off? What was your previous PR?

I was going to run Philly, but had to deal with an injury and rehab in the summer. What does your tattoo say? I see some Hebrew letters, but your singlet was covering most of it.

I just did my first marathon in London, ran a 3:16. Would like to run a 3:05-3:08 in attempt 2. I'm considering Philly. How did you feel about the hills on this race?

Not an easy course, imo. I kept hearing that Philly is a fast course and was thrown off wit lh so many rolling hills. Congrats on a PR and good luck w your next sub3 attempt!

nice..u..shood-a ran ..100%..hec with the subsdribers,,,prob..wood get...more thumbs up!!..i dunno??
