Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into that one. West coast ones seem to have the better weather but that can be hit or miss.

Hey! I actually wore some road running Nike shoes looking back at my pictures. The race organization says that regular road running shoes should be fine as the gravel is fine and should not obstruct your racing. That being said it depends how comfortable you are running on gravel. Carbon fiber not sure if it would be good use because it’s not paved. But use what you feel more comfortable with and not change too much before the race.

It sure was. SF has no many scenic views even at 5am. And thank you. Glad to know other people enjoyed it.

That’s great! I hope it was enjoyable even though running a marathon is hard.

Thank you! Glad you also ran it too. It was a good day for running.

Thank you 🙏🏼

People usually bring their own small flashlights. There is a drop off after the tunnel to leave it. I used my phone into the tunnel. It’s much better if you run next to other people with light so it’s easier to see because the road is not smooth so watch your step in the tunnel

You can run any of those two with this race as long as you meet the race’s time per age and gender conditions. So if you meet the requirement by the time you finished you can. I used the twin cities marathon race to run Boston and Chicago.

That’s awesome. Good luck and hopefully you enjoy it

@@donutwalkrun thanks!!

@@donutwalkrun BTW sorry for all the questions, should I consider medium length socks because of gravel? … I usually don’t wear socks or just no-show lightweight Injinji but I think this is not a good idea?

I would consider something that is at least a bit higher than the ankle. Most of the race is on a trail with gravel. The only part that is not is the tunnel which is paved but even that has some gravel and there are pot holes and puddles. Careful to watch how you step in the tunnel, you can easily land on an awkward area and potentially fall.

@@donutwalkrun thanks a lot!

That’s awesome. 👏🏼 good luck

@@donutwalkrun 3:41 with no concept for anything to do during a marathon except this video. I’m locked in for next year and with a group having me prep for sub 3. Thanks again!

Thank you. For sure baby steps. Avoid an injury by increasing the load slowly.

That’s great. I’m hoping through these video experiences it gives a perspective of what to expect.

I can only speak for myself. If this is not your first race and have had a consistent training plan for a couple of months, I would keep the pace constant throughout that would match the finish time you are shooting for. Some people like to go all out the first half but lose steam and get a big negative split. Personally I keep track of time and the course elevation and try to hit time markers based on the mile I am in

It was an awesome race. Compared to the other ones there were by far more people who run and take this race seriously. Even if it’s through the lottery, great race to run

Thanks for the rec. I will try to do that next time. I did enjoy this race enough to return

Definitely was

I appreciate the support. Holding on to the go pro is definitely not easy. It becomes a challenge getting water in the water stations throughout the races. I hope you recover well to run it again.

Thank you 🙏🏼 I appreciate it. Chicago definitely has big city views. It was nice.

That’s an awesome time! And thank you. That is one of my goal for this channel, to give you an idea of what to expect during that specific marathon.

I did!! He looks more muscular in bigger in person but it was cool seeing him as I passed him by. You can do it for sure. If you do run we can definitely take a picture. 👍🏼

@@donutwalkrun hell yeah!

Thank you 🙏🏼

It’s the super series marathon but I believe there is another one called end of the tunnel or something like that. It’s the same course just different organization 👍🏼

@@donutwalkrun I see, thanks

Researching these races, Jack and Jill and the tunnels marathon I believe this one is 1500 elevation lost vs 2000 for the other 2. I also thought they were all on same course but this one the beginning seems flatter. Also the tunnel seemed a few miles in till u reached it. The other 2 I thought they were at the beginning. Hard to get solid info on the comparison. Trying to decide which to do. Great video!

Thank you! My strategy is usually to keep a constant ice throughout. I don’t like banking time. My splits are almost very even. However when I see a hill I conserve energy, take smaller steps and go on a slower pace. It usually makes up for it on the down hill which there happened to be one here. Good luck!👍🏼

thanks! I think you are right. There was decent support but the cloudiness and rain kept people away for sure

Awesome! I hope you enjoyed Vancouver. I hope you are as excited as me for Chicago.

I appreciate the support 🙏🏼

Lol. Yeah. It was but all in moderation. Next one won’t be as clean but keeping it just a meal

@@donutwalkrun can you show the stretches you do before and after a run? I've been getting knee pains lately

I usually wake up everyday at 5 so didn’t change my sleeping habit but it’s hard to sleep the night before because of the excitement 😬

@Donut Walk, Run sheeeeesh, lol... I'm gonna need to change my sleeping habits... Do you usually eat before your runs and do you train daily in the mornings, afternoons or evenings?

🙏🏼

@Donut Walk, Run I was never a runner and picked it up to improve my stamina for tennis but I think I am really starting to enjoy running. Hope I can get a chance to complete a half marathon this year. Love your content dude.

I enjoy tennis as well. Running definitely helps with cardio fitness. I appreciate the support and will keep posting races and nutrition. More races to come

@Donut Walk, Run Thanks and that's awesome! I'm sure the others along with myself would greatly appreciate any advice and tips.

I appreciate that. If I could then you definitely can as well

Thank you very much!

Thank you! I appreciate that

Weight training helps to build muscle which helps have a faster metabolism. But in order to see your abs you need to lose weight. We all have abs but we need to be lean enough to see them. In my experience, losing weight while retaining muscle will show your abs. However this might require very low body fat which might not be sustainable. Good luck

Thank you 🙏🏼

Thank you! It was pretty flat. A small climb but barely noticeable and short small hills. I would recommend.

I think they are true to size. The pros are a little more narrow in the tip than the speeds. This may be due to the technology underneath the sole. Unless you like your foot to feel a little, then order a half size up or maybe look into the wider type instead of regular

I am trying to hit under 3:05. The course is not very flat but hoping since it’s a cooler climate that it will not tire me out

@@donutwalkrun Nice! I am targeting around the same time! See you on the course and good luck!

I think it came out to about 60$. It’s been a while but they did give a 10% discount for a dozen I believe.

Definitely

Thanks you!

Thank you for the encouragement and the tip!

Thanks for the tip! We will try next time.

I am glad you enjoyed it!
