- In this video, I travel to Sacramento, CA to make my final OTQ attempt in the marathon for 2024! It has been a long and difficult process to prepare myself to be able to run a qualifier. Marathon training is no joke, and all a runner wants is for everything to come together on race day. I break down how this race fits in to everything, and show you the trip to Sacramento to tell my marathon story.
Check out my 2:18:55 OTQ Attempt in this video:

Bro Michael, we are gonna figure it out. I PROMISE 🙏🏼
Yes I need this. We'll get it
feels like a crossover episode :O
Adam u ain’t gonna figure it out u slow
@@awxuh what do you run my guy
can you even run a marathon?@@awxuh
I was following you on race day, was really bummed when I saw you dropped out. Hope this is not the end of your OTQ journey, 2028 will be here soon enough. Really enjoy the videos and you definitely have a fan in me.
I appreciate that! Yeah, it was unfortunate timing, but rest assured I've got a lot of running left in me. I'll be around for a while;)
The most emotional part of your video was at 5:00. I was there for my 3rd time still just trying to chase a sub 4. It didn't happen due to an ankle injury from earlier in the year during a trail run. I felt your pain even though our goals were different. Keep at it!
saw you step off the course at mile 10. rough way to end this one, but looking forward to see you take another shot at it when the window opens again
At least you saw me there and not while I was sucking 😅. Yeah rough go, I’ll get it next go around
That sucks but that's life, it happens. Love your positive attitude. It's just the start. Keep running, you got this!
Unfortunately bad luck on the timing :( But I'll keep at it! thank you!
You and Adam are both inspiring. So glad you both put out this content.
You guys rock and are an inspiration to many of us out here. Keep the faith!
Very inspiring bro, never stop running or documenting your journey man
Keep going! Lots of us are praying for you 🙏🏽
Please keep doing vids because your and adam wood’s channels are cool and i love seeing the beautiful utah scenery
I'll have to showcase the scenery more in the future! There's plenty to come;)
I love watching You and Adams vids
Love the positive attitude. Keep learning and keep running. You got this!
Thank you, I'll keep at it!
Head up Michael you inspire me so much man keep going
Wow. Just amazing, Keep going.
Thanks so much for sharing the journey and even the race day woes. I'm sure putting a video out from a botched race was not entirely exciting. Like everyone has said, really bummed about the outcome but you will persevere and make it happen 👍🏼
I KNOW you woulda gotten it if you wouldn't have gotten sick. Such hard and consistent work put in-very inspiring. Everything happens for a reason though so don't feel discouraged. Still rooting for you.
I feel the same, thank you
Well done Michael, tough luck. You took it well !! Not sure how old you are but hopefully you'll get another chance in 3 or 4 years.
I’m so mad I wasn’t able to make it to the CIM finish. However, it has been super fun to watch you and adam keep running and pushing yourself
You’re an awesome runner anyways. I consider myself pretty strong for a runner, but I could only keep up your marathon pace for 5k. Keep up the amazing work and the training!
Tough deal with the food poisoning situation but I love your general outlook and attitude about the whole situation. On to the next one...
Absolutely. I'm gonna reset and make plans for the future real soon
the comeback will be legendary
you’re a beast
Dude. That sucks. Sorry this happened to you. I'm always super nervous about getting sick before a race (and I'm not even competing in any real sense).
Yeah this is the first time it's really happened to me! It's no fun:(
life getting in the way of races is so unfortunate , did an entire half marathon prep from sep - nov and the thursday before race day i got appendicitis and had to have emergency surgery lmaoo. rip that shape
Sorry that it didn’t work out. The highs would never be as high without the heartbreak. You will be back stronger
Love that perspective
Oh no. Sorry to hear that.
Wow you a fast runner of all time. My cousin just finish the marathon in 4 hours. I myself cant even run that much miles in one day. 😂
Why not new try in flat Sevilla (february)..
Carry sugar and drink water if you don’t have bottles. That’s what I did running 52 miles on the St. George marathon course
Just had my first marathon and cramped at 18.3 miles 😩 don’t know if it was electrolytes low or not carb load enough or strength or weather😩🤣
I can be a number of factors! For me, I have definitively ruled out all nutrition as the cause. It's a strength thing with muscle fatigue. I'm highly susceptible to cramps and getting stronger is the only thing to have helped so far
@@mottesen_runs yeah I need to rule the nutrition out and build some more run specific strength…I have a good base but stopped a lot of strength…caught cramps on my lats too for crying out loud!
Have you tried any dietary approaches to solve your cramping? Ive heard methods like pickle juice really help.
Pretty much tried them all, I'm fairly confident It's not dietary (at least in my case). I'm working on a video breaking down all I've learned about muscle cramping from the past 2 years of marathoning.
But I had heard the same thing! Let's just say I tried pickle juice and dropped out of the race from cramping..
Nooooooo 😢😢😢 se need a redemption run ❤
I’ll have one, but probably not right away 😔
LA 28 Baby!!!!
You from UT or just like running UT races? From St. George!
I live in UT!
Did you ever get to the bottom of the cramping?, seems to be an issue plaguing me, always comes outta nowhere when I’m feeling good, I’d rather hit the wall.
Kinda.. Right now I think that my medication is the main culprits for why it’s so bad for me. But I did find that strength training and higher mileage helped significantly
@@mottesen_runs thanks for taking the time to reply, i was thinking it could have been lack of endurance/ conditioning as only happened in my right leg, and I was good with my nutrition this time around. Keep up the great work
Ask yourself this question. What words would you use to describe your marathon journey? Use several one words.
Hey dude at least you didn’t shit your pants
Facts
