My skin is tingling while watching your review! I was part of the marathon party too. I’m Moroccan but came from Paris for a three-day stay in Agadir. When I found out the Marrakech Marathon was happening during my trip, I just couldn’t resist joining 🤷♂ Without perfect preparation, I gave it my best and managed to break my half marathon PB but got hit with a lot of cramps (probably due to travel fatigue) in the second half. I still pushed through and finished in 3h38 (My 3rd best time) Despite everything, I’m really happy to have lived this experience 😄 It was a pleasure to re live this experience with your smile and positive vibes once again in this video... You'r a good man, saying Chokran to all volunteers and smiling at everyone… On behalf of all Moroccans, I say Chokran to you too! 😊
I'm touched by your kind words. Chokran! And wow, your result is impressive, especially given the spontaneous idea and the limited preparation. Congrats! And happy you've enjoyed the video! Im excited to travel back to Morocco and experience more of its beauty 😄. All the best from the Netherlands!
@@thomasvantienoven thanks for your encouragement 🙏 Now I’m preparing for a 90km trail in the Marrakech region: the Ultra Trail d’Amizmiz. It will be a completely different experience, offering a whole new perspective from the mountains around 🤩 Feel free to join, and any advice for me is welcome 😁
@@IotFayRun Sounds like a great challenge! Cool to hear there's an ultra trail scene in Morocco as well. I'll put it on my longlist! Good luck with your training. Tips & tricks will follow in upcoming videos on this channel ☺
thank you for this video. it show bright side of this marathon. i like the way that you explain with a good smile. me too i was running in this marathon it was a good experience.welcome in Morocco .best wishes.
it was my first ever marathon, finished with 3:15:00 with an injury in my left knee at the 36km , but i'm happy with this achievement, knowing that i started running in 2023 , thank you @thomas for the Vibs and you're more than welcome in morocco for the upcoming races. ✌
Toffe video weer Thomas, complimenten! En nogmaals gefeliciteerd met je prestatie! 💪 Leuk om te zien dat je deze met de Ace Pro 2 hebt geschoten. Sta toevallig op het punt om ook voor deze cam te gaan. Gr Rob
Congrats and great work editing this one! Few race day videos capture the anticipation and energy of the event the way you did. After watching so many of these videos, my takeaway is that smiling makes you run faster. Can you confirm? 😁
I wish I could run! Yes, I've been hit by a stroke. Still grappling through! Running is thrilling! I hope I could run soon to enjoy that feeling once more!
Goed gedaan! Ik heb helaas een jumpers knie opgelopen dus ik mag de aankomende maanden niet rennen helaas. Maar ik ga de New York marathon lopen dit jaar en sit motiveert mij weer super hard! Omdat in nu niet mag hardlopen heb ik niet wel het gevoel dat in het nu door je video's te bekijken 😅
Thank you Marrakech! Don't forget to share your semi-marathon or marathon results in the comments below, so we can cheer for each other! 🇲🇦✨

Thanks, Rob! Heel blij met die camera, zeker in low light conditions, dus voor nachtlopers een aanrader! Benieuwd naar jouw video's 🙂
Amazing ! 4:4 pace and manging to talk, way to go man !
Thank you! No long poetic sentences here, but still some race report talk 😊

Thanks! Appreciate your kind words 🙏🏽. Sounds like a great takeaway to me! Not only for running marathons or ultras, but for life in general 😊
I wish I could run! Yes, I've been hit by a stroke. Still grappling through! Running is thrilling! I hope I could run soon to enjoy that feeling once more!
Hope you progress soon into running again. Best of luck!

Thanks voor je berichtje. Fijn te lezen dat het de (mentale) pijn iets verzacht. Nog genoeg tijd om op en top fit te zijn voor NYC. Zet 'm op!
@thomasvantienoven hoelang doe jij eigenlijk aan hardlopen en welke blessures heb jij allemaal gehad?
@@ryan_vdb Ik hardloop ruim 4 jaar nu en mijn grootste blessure is vorig jaar geweest: deep glute syndrome (rechts).
You are welcome 🇲🇦🇲🇦
Thank you 🙏🏽
