A great video. My wife and I watched three times. We are so proud and blessed to have Longry as our daughter. We truly enjoyed. Thank you Longry and the video producer Eric. George
I agree that Tom Perry is a great story for everyone about how to keep trying no matter what to stay healthy. It was just really interesting that Longry just happen to run into him as she was running and found out about his personal story. We all have personal stories and can learn alot from Tom Perry of Minnesota.
Bwebber, We are glad you enjoyed the video. Its a good idea to watch as many videos as possible. We tried to make this video with the idea that someone would watch who is possibly interested in running this marathon. By watching this video; you know exactly what to expect. Best of luck in the marathon and have a great time! 😎👍🇺🇸
Minji, good luck in the marathon and I hope the video will help you prepare and be more successful in your efforts. It is a great marathon and I'm sure you will have a fun time. 😀
Watched TM for the first time to cheer for my cousin who was participating at that time... What surprised me the most was just right after the race, maybe within an hour, all streets were cleared and cleaned like no major event happened!just wow.
I agree and was impressed. The City of Tokyo was really clean and had no crime. I think it has to do with their culture more than anything else. Its something that all of us can learn from. Thanks for watching the video, we really appreciate it.
Tom, we are glad the video was of help to you. We produce these videos not only for the memories, but also for other people; so they can see exactly what to expect. It is a great marathon and you will have alot of fun running the Tokyo Marathon. Thanks for watching the video and the kind comments. 😀
I was at the race too! It was a wonderful experience, perfect weather and the volunteers were the best. Thank you for this video, great memories! And congratulations!!!
Kim, Thanks for watching the video and congratulations to you also. The Tokyo Marathon was truly a unique and fun experience. If you liked that video, you also might enjoy this one. ua-cam.com/video/1B4xVeYdH3I/v-deo.htmlsi=Fcd8lElg2_eZR2mt Wishing you the best and continue to have fun running these different marathons. 😀
Tim, thanks for watching the video and I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you ever decide to run this marathon; I hope it helps you out. If you liked that video, up may also enjoy this video that I just completed. ua-cam.com/video/DF3bgyfYvpM/v-deo.htmlsi=KecEYzXvO_4sDolp Wishing you the best and keep having fun running.
Thanks for the wonderful video!! Longry is so strong and positive throughout the whole race, so impressed!! And the video was created with interesting information, loved it! I am from Tokyo and running this in two weeks time. Getting super excited, thanks again ❤
Meggi0401, thanks for watching the video and the kind words. You will have a great time running the Tokyo Marathon. We wish you alot of happiness and fun during the race. Good luck!
You are an impressive runner ! Incredible how you can tape yourself while running a marathon! Congrats!,, can you share where you stayed for this race ? I’m running Tokyo 😊next year
Longry stayed at the Grand Hyatt, which is about a 10 minute walk to the start line. Additionally, she booked the Berlin Marathon with Marathon Tours & Travel. As a result, there was an entire package involved in her overnight housing. I hope this helps and good luck in running it next year. I'm sure you will have a great time. Thanks for watching the video. 😀
Sorry, I got mixed up. When Longry ran the Tokyo Marathon she stayed at the Tokyo Hilton Shinjuku, which is basically at the start line. However, she did also book this marathon with Marathon Tours & Travel. For alot of her overseas marathons, she typically uses Marathon Tours & Travel. Thanks again and have fun running.
lilytam, Longry's average running time per mile was approximately 10:50. So long as you wouldn't be higher than 12:00 per mile; you should be okay. It is a really great marathon and I'm sure you will enjoy the unique experience. They do enforce the cutoff times, but at least your aware of this fact before you start. In the video it specifically states each cutoff time and distance you must complete. I hope that information helps you out to be successful in the marathon. Best of luck in your running efforts at the Tokyo Marathon and have fun! You will do great! Thanks for watching the video and I just recently completed this video of Longry's experience of running the 2023 Berlin Marathon. We produce these videos not only to help out other runners, but to always remember the fun and unique experiences that each marathon provides. Additionally, I really enjoy learning new skills and have never used Final Cut Pro before to produce these videos. As a result, I am continuing to learn and trying to make each video better than the last one. Just click here to watch the Berlin Marathon video, if you want. 😀 ua-cam.com/video/DF3bgyfYvpM/v-deo.html
It is a popular race and they limit the numbers of participants. Additionally, the number of overseas runners is also limited. My only advice is to keep trying to get into the race and eventually you will be able to run the Tokyo Marathon. Best of luck to you and have fun running.

What was your average time per mile? I got into Tokyo 2024 and am curious if I'll make the cutoff times or not?

Why so hard to get in to this race?

@@ericmonte2038 thank you! You gave me a hope
I'm glad you enjoyed the video and continue to have fun running. 😀
