2024 Tokyo Marathon & Expo
Another international flight, another World Major Marathon, but this time a new country and continent! Danielle and I ran the 2024 Tokyo Marathon, which was a major part of the trip, but not at al the only fun we had on our 10 day trip, which included 5 nights in Tokyo, 2 in Kyoto, 2 in Osaka, and 1 more in Tokyo.
If you are at all interested in running the Tokyo Marathon, this video is for you. There will be plenty more videos to follow on each of our stops, as well as a few things we learned that made Japan one of our favorite countries in the world.

2024 Running Goals - My Leadville 100 Goal is Crazy
Переглядів 365 місяців тому
2023 was filled with a ton of success, mostly due to setting goals early in the season, making a well-laid out weekly running plan, and committing to it. This lead to PRs in the 5k, 10k, half marathon, and bringing my marathon PR from 3:58 (2012 Chicago) to 3:19 (Paris in April), and finally 3:07 at CIM in December. 2024 will have many similar goals, but there is one major difference...: I'm go...

Between the city, the scale, and the culture, BolderBoulder is one of the greatest spectacles in running. It reminds us that the marathon isn't the only distance to test our endurance.

Danielle and I made the trip from Colorado to France to run the 2023 Paris Marathon. We knew that the sights (and food) were going to be amazing, and it did not disappoint!
Would love an update on how your race went.
Hello!! Thank you so much for posting this video of the 2024 Tokyo Marathon. I am from Fort Collins, Colorado and my husband and I are hoping to travel to Tokyo to run the marathon in 2025. I am working on completing the WMM too and Tokyo would be my 5th Star. We are going to submit a charity application to the Peace Winds Wanko charity and I was wondering if you could provide a bit more information about the entry. Is there an essay that you submitted to the charity? Also, would you mind sharing how much over the minimum you bid? Also, may I ask where you stayed and what airline you flew? Is there anything else that you would have done differently? Thank you so much again for the video - it is super helpful to see it from a runner's perspective! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!! Good Luck on finishing your World Marathon Marjors!
Geez... what a great video... it almost makes me want to do another marathon. I'm going to look into getting a coach.... I wish I felt as happy as you look running this marathon!
I sincerely mean it when I say thank you for that! I wasn't at all a runner in the first few decades of my life, but now I am hooked. I don't know what I'd do without it in my life. No matter what, always smile - running should always be fun!
Awesome video 💥getting me excited to get on the train next week and race Paris ‘2024 as well. Veering off from the majors as well because it is so hard to get into them if they don’t have qualifying times. Decided to find a spring race because I will never train in the summer again with the heat and humidity on the East coast. Paris checked all the boxes and being able to stay in my daughters in law’s apartment 10 min from the starting line is perfect. Question: why did you get up at 5 am? I am planning to sleep until 7:30 for a 9:10 coral time 😂. Glad you had a great experience 😊
I'm so sorry I'm just now seeing this!! How did the race go for you?! And I totally agree, the majors are great and all - and I'd love to someday do them all - but there are plenty of amazing races out there that don't fall under the Abbott banner. And you are unbelievably lucky to have a place right there!! I love the question about the wake up call. My 'recommended time to get to the SAS' was 8:05am for the 8:32am start (3:15 corral). That said, I wanted to get some fluids in me as early as possible because my thimble-sized bladder will all-too-often need to be addressed before getting to the corral, so I had to plan waaaayyy ahead!
Was it easy to register for the race?
Hey! So sorry that I'm seeing this late! Yes, it was so easy to register. Unfortunately, it does look like the general entry options for 2024 are sold out on the Paris Marathon website, but there are charity options available! I assure you it is worth it no matter how you get in!!
this was a really helpful video, thanks for making it!
What a great video. I have just paid and entered for Paris 2024. I have done plenty of half marathons but my first full marathon. Couldn’t quite make out but what was the name of your hotel?
Thank you!! You're going to love it - it really should be a major! And the hotel was Le Metropolitan, it was immediately west of the Eiffel Tower, right at the Pl. de Mexico. Amazing location for the race! Good luck!
@@FootDocRuns thank you. Fingers crossed it goes well and I can try Berlin and New York next! Although a friend of mine has just done Helsinki which also looks great.
@@jonathanwake2964 How did Paris 2024 go for you?!? Such a great run in a museum of a city!
@@FootDocRuns Paris was amazing thank you. We stayed just off the Arc de Triomphe which is near the start/finish. Perfect conditions for the race which I completed in 3.46. I am trying for London next year, I will do Paris again though.
Great recap of the marathon! I enjoyed watching your video. Thanks for sharing your experience! Can’t wait for our turn in 2024! 🎉
I love that you're doing the race, its an amazing one!! Best of luck and happy running!
I hope Paris 2024 was such an amazing experience for you!!
Awesome recap of the marathon!👏 2024 is my turn 😅
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! And I'm pumped for you, its an amazing run and even better city!! Best of luck!
I hope Paris 2024 went amazingly for you!!
Loved it! Proud of you both!
