    It takes courage and determination to finish a full marathon, much more are needed with your injuries Josh. We all learnt something about you as well. I am very happy for you and your family!

    Whoa super effort!!! Congrats. It’s a tough event on its own, but after hitting the deck on Friday and dinging yourself up, especially the all important gams is just mega. Hope you’re feeling better recovered now and carrying no residual effects from the crash. It’s no wonder your vids are so good. You obviously apply the same commitment to everything you undertake. Congrats

    Too right mate 30kms is where I hit my wall!! I remember my friends who came as my support crew telling me 1 more run club 12km route - my legs were spasming with cramp and I was definitely under fueled, but running a marathon taught me a lot about myself.
    Watching you accomplish it is giving me the runners itch!! So maybe I’ll take up that hobby on a more regular basis! Would love to run a few kays with James!

    What a journey! People usually get stitches while running, of course you decided to get some before starting. Really sweet of your dad to join in! Clearly there's a fitness gene in the family.
    I reckon 11:51 beats 11:37 hands down! That framing!
    Also love the music buildup from 16:48 leading to 17:20 right into 17:38.
    So.... 3 hours next year, 2 hours the year after?

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  День тому

      Hahaha I think I did get some good genes, but behind that is a lot of hard work and dedication 😎 my dad did a lot of training.
      Hahaha you’re right, running directly under the bridge was incredible.
      Thanks for appreciating the music, sometimes it takes a lot of work to find that perfect song!
