@@clairee4858 nawww that’s so nice of you to say that this made you excited and comforted to run your first marathon! I’m excited for you too!! If you see me please come say hello I’ll be running again this year and filming it again and I’ve decided to wear the same running top as I loved it so much haha
I’m so glad I’ve been able to keep that inspiring feeling going ! I was just so happy to finished under the cut off time :) to me that’s a win! It’s the same medal as everyone else isn’t it , You’ll do great in your race too as your putting that training in! Let me know how it goes in two months
You’ll smash it! It’s such a big mental game , be prepared to push yourself but also enjoy the day as you have trained hard for the day so don’t forget when you feel the pain just smile it’s a simple trick to keep you going
@@divinelyautistic ahh ok then I shall say this , remember your not in competition with Anyone else around you on race day , your running for you so whatever you do on the day you are doing it for yourself so be proud of yourself , side note as it’s your first half marathon then no matter when you cross the finish line it’s a personal best time 💪 which half marathon is it ?
Marathons are exactly that hey! An effort and everyone’s effort looks different , you get the same medal even at the back of the pack ! I’ll be there again this year and filming another video so please do come say hi to me on the course :) I’m friendly even if I can’t talk and run at the same time without losing my breathe haha
@@spoonisinthedraw your going to have the best time as your first! I’m running it again this year I loved it that much! , I’m glad it could be useful for you , haha I’ll be doing that closing shot again if I can haha
I was supposed to do this one! But I pulled it in the last 2 weeks and my husband did it with little to no training - but he's a stubborn shit. Lol. I am doing it this year - but have gained 20kg in the last 2 years which has sucked... hoping to drop off the weight as my Dad is coming down with my uncle from Boston who will be doing it with me... nervous excited.
Haha sometimes stubbornness is a great motivation, It’s going to be an even bigger year this year and I’m so excited to run it again, and all the finishers will get an automatic entry when they become a major and how good is that!
@@Flyingdave88 that's great! I'll definitely be around the 6+ time frame... my first race official being 6:01:something and I'm about 20kg heavier now. So we'll see how we go! It's all about finishing! Maybe see you out there!! xx
@@Flyingdave88 my first I did back in 2020 (completely on my own in my local streets) and the following one I ran the first half and power walked the second half (run shellharbour) I was well and truly the last person there. Lol. I'm looking forward to not finishing last, even if it is 7 hrs!
@@saragoescrazy oh I grew up down in Minnamurra haha so close , oh doesn’t matter if your first or last it’s the same medal ! I’m all about completing not competing
It’s an amazing course and I loved that it will forever be my first full marathon , I’ll see you in 25 too I’m running it this year and plan to next year when it becomes the next major , not an overly hilly course at all
@@Flyingdave88 lol gotta try that, that would be great after a long run lol. what’s your next goal, I’ve already registered for a half marathon in November in Canberra 😊
Congrats! You are and forever will be a marathon runner. Way to go!
Thank you! I can’t wait to come back this year to run it again ☺️
This was very comforting to watch, you did amazing!! I'm running my first one this Sunday and I'm super nervous but this made me excited!!

완주 축하드립니다~👏👏👏
시청해 주시고 한국에서 보내주신 지원에 감사드립니다. 정말 놀라운 경주이고 코스입니다. 올해에도 다시 달릴 것입니다! 아래서 보자
Good job! I plan to run sydney in 2025! How is the route? Is it a hilly course? Thks!
It’s an amazing course and I loved that it will forever be my first full marathon , I’ll see you in 25 too I’m running it this year and plan to next year when it becomes the next major , not an overly hilly course at all
Congrats, exactly how I felt by the end lol, but is that kfc inside a Krispy Kreme donut 😮
So tiring but so worth it ! And it sure is ! Zinger fillet between two fresh off the conveyor belt Krispy Kreme doughnuts ! Highly recommend
