This is sick. I’m a guy who ran races about 8 years ago, switched to weightlifting, and now I’m back to running. In the meantime I got married, became a dad, and am in a similar circumstance to you. Hit 3:17 for my marathon, and the 3hr barrier is my singular running goal right now. I’m pumped to see this, and it gets my hyped for my own race and training. Thanks for the video!
This was awesome. I’m taking my third attempt at a sub 3 next weekend at Grandma’s. This was great to see the feeling and energy when you broke that barrier.
It’s so inspiring hearing you talk through your strategy. I’m feeling down after my horrible performance in NYC this year (my 2nd overall marathon) and am realizing how underprepared I was. Definitely going to be way more strategic in marathons to come!
So inspiring man. Followed you since discovering your content as a wedding filmmaker. Did my first half marathon yesterday and it’s stories like this that are fuel to give the full marathon a go!
Bro this is so helpful. To be inspired by the world’s best is one thing, but to see you set a goal and go after it and explaining how you did it, that’s super helpful. Besides the tips and tricks, I’m impressed by how much you remembered of the race!
This was so great to watch! I recently started running more seriously and find your content inspiring!! Hoping to do my first marathon a year from now and this gets me so excited! 👏🏼👏🏼
Congrats on the sub 3! I am a few years behind you in the 3:10-3:11 range. Just starting my UA-cam journey as well. So you’re channel is right in my wheelhouse (subbed). Looking forward to more content
Congratz! Man, this was so inspiring to watch, I feel so pumped! Im running my sub3 attempt in 3,5 weeks, cant wait. My 8th marathon in total. Currently Im in love&hate relationship with my training, enjoying rest day just today. This just helped me so much🙋🏻♂️🙏🏻
After watching a couple of your videos, I wondered if you were a photographer because of your recording style and lighting. Sure enough, I was right. I instantly subscribed because of how you explain your experiences and how transparent you are. It makes you much more relatable to most. Whether it’s cramping, injuries, stomach issues, I can relate to all of that. Many other vloggers either don’t have those issues or don’t share them. For this reason I enjoy your videos. Excellent cinematography and details about your training, nutrition and races. They are awesome and cool to see that slower runners like me go through the same challenges as some fast runners. Keep these coming. I really appreciate them all.
Your unfiltered joy at finally reaching your sub 3 goal was so inspiring! I watched this and your other Chicago Marathon video when you first posted them last year, it was not long after I had run a 3hr30 marathon, where my planned training, hoping to push closer to my sub 3 goal, was scuttled by injury. I found a marathon for February this year and restarted my planned training. Race was this weekend just gone, I watched your videos again during my taper week, ran a 2hr57! All the best for the sub 2:50!
It's great to see the success story. I've been following your journey for a few years now and it helps keep me motivated. I was a few minutes off sub 3 my last race and I'm putting in more work now to break through at Boston. Keep it up! I'm in the suburbs too and always looking at strava for new places to check out and run.
Good bunch of tips and ideas, interesting on the amount of gels and salt required, at least being aware to help, good tip put on your gear the day before making sure it fits correctly, already have the Saucony Emdorphin pros sounds like they are winners.
Wow this is amazing insight. Thanks so much for sharing all this valuable knowledge! I am doing my first marathon this year which is NYC. My goal is to run sub 3hr which is a little ambitious but I am gonna try my best to do it. My HM time is currently 1.28.45 and I would really like to get this down to down to around 1.25 before summer. This would give me good confidence that I can do a sub 3hr marathon if everything went well on the day. Either way the fun is in the journey so we will see what happens. Congrats on your awesome race result.
Awesome race recap! I think I was near you some time during the race. I was shooting for 2:55, but my quads started acting up at mile 10, and I had to push really hard to finish in 2:58. It was my first time in Chicago and I am love with the city!
On all the videos I have been watching everyone has been choosing sourdough over “regular” bread. Can you tell me if there is a reason for this? Love your videos!
I'm taking note of the nutrition especially. I was at Grandma's in 2022 as well, and upping the amount of calories helped a lot. I will try adding electrolyte capsules next. Appreciate the detailed recap! Be well.
Thanks for the detailed sub 3 recap! So inspiring to hear! I'm curious, within the training block, how many weeks did you average 45-55mi volume? And what % of those miles were dedicated to speed/intensity?
Amazing!! Thanks for watching! I’ve been running with the rabbit men’s speedsters (half tights) and carrying gels in the side pockets & salt tabs in the back zipper pocket.
Love the videos could you please do kms slips on text when you talk about your pace. Love you work just everyone else talks in kms so be so much easier to watch. Love how professional you make your videos.
Hey nice achievement to run under 3hrs, great job! i appreciate your videos how much time and effort you and your friends have to put in to make these videos! I am just getting ready for Big Bear Revel Marathon in CA tomorrow , first one after 8 years so I needed some to boost me and take few tips with me to make ii to the end reasonably. 😎😅🏃🏼♂️Thanks
Hello, thanks so much for sharing. Just was wondering, does your stomach tend to feel a bit sensitive the days following the marathon? I really struggle with the nutrition as well and was just curious.
Wow! This is amazing man. Incredible effort and PR. Sub 3 - so rad. My current PR is 3:5x and it’s inspiring to hear that you came down so far from that. May I ask what the biggest change for improvement was from? Cheers from Seattle.
Thanks so much! The biggest thing was really understanding how to train: getting more mileage in a 3-4 month training block, and focusing most of my workouts on being in zone 2 heart rate (easy runs)
@@flobergruns by the looks of it, I was a few feet behind you in the start pen. Really love your cinematography and style of shooting. I have you to blame for my obsession with Ciele hats now!
How many miles were you running during your peak weeks? And what kind of paces above race pace were you running on your hard days? What are your goals for NY?
45-55 miles a week on the peak weeks. I was doing 6:00 for CV mile repeats and 5:45 pace for 800 repeats. Gonna cover my goals for NYC in a video tomorrow or the next day 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Eric I'd love to help film future races! Same thing happened to me in my PR attempt - had it as a 27 mile programmed workout, accidentally hit the lap button at 10.05 miles, which was then the 11 mile lap in the workout, and screwed me up the rest of the race.

Congrats. I just ran a 2:56 in Philly a couple weeks ago. 38 minute PR for me, so I know how you feel 😂. Congrats!
38 minute PR is awesome!!👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks for all of your hard work on running and making these videos, trust me it’s really inspiring! More power to you bro! 🙌
This was awesome. I’m taking my third attempt at a sub 3 next weekend at Grandma’s. This was great to see the feeling and energy when you broke that barrier.
Dude, just found your channel today and its so good. So much relatable content and advice you dont really read about. Brilliant.

Dude I’ve watched this so many times. Appreciate you sharing the deep dive
This was so great to watch! I recently started running more seriously and find your content inspiring!! Hoping to do my first marathon a year from now and this gets me so excited! 👏🏼👏🏼
this is dope man. i was at chicago too and was hoping to BQ but i missed it by 2 min. running grandmas this year and chicago again.
Brilliant effort! You'll get it next time and amazing PB 🎉👏🏽👊🏽
I really liked your video. I became a fan of your channel. I have 3:04 from last year. This year in Chicago is my first attempt at sub3
Blood, sweat, and tears, great stuff man.
Great video! Very detailed and informative. Btw, I'm on my way to sub3, currently at 3:04:04 after 4 marathons.

Ah! Thanks so much for following along!!
Man, what a recap. I'll be back to this video before my Chicago 2023! LFG!
Congratulations buddy. Awesome. I'm from Brazil and in June 2023 I'm on my way to sub3. Thanks
Good bunch of tips and ideas, interesting on the amount of gels and salt required, at least being aware to help, good tip put on your gear the day before making sure it fits correctly, already have the Saucony Emdorphin pros sounds like they are winners.
Thanks for sharing! This is great motivation. I am running my first one this October in Chicago and hope at least for sub 4 for the first one!
Super informative! Great information as I’ve never ran a full Marathon yet 👌🏽 And congrats (a bit late) on the sub 3 hours

Great video, congrats on the PR!
Winning attitude 👊🏻 great to see! You’ll go places mate! 💪🏻
Fun to see you here, man! Found your channel this year & love what you're doing!!
Love all the details of your race, super helpful as I get ready for my next marathon.
How do you hold all of your gels/tablets?
Amazing!! Thanks for watching! I’ve been running with the rabbit men’s speedsters (half tights) and carrying gels in the side pockets & salt tabs in the back zipper pocket.
Great video, congratulations on the run and the sub 3! Very inspiring!
Loved this 🙂 excited for you!

Good video I have the issues with the gels I will try spring soon. I am signed up for my 1st marathon in 2023
Good luck!!!
Woohoo 🎉 great job!!!!
My goal for 2023 is to break sub 3. Thank you for the video and the information 💪
EPIC. Love seeing your journey!!
Thanks for following along!!

What time do you recommend entering the corral to find the sub3 pacer?
Funny the Ciele on your cap means goals in Slovak language :D
Loved this ❤
Congrats!!!!
Congratulations, great run.
Thanks so much!!

😤😤😤 will gladly take you up on helping with filming!!
Meeting Centrowitz at the track is more reasonable and expected than meeting him at a bar. A group of us met him at a NYC bar a few years back. 😂
Who's your coach
Awesome!!!
Dope!!
999th like 👍🏻 ....really inspiring video!
How was your half PR before sub 3?
Followed you on strava! I’m shooting for sub 3 and was curious as to what someone with sub 3 fitness would be running in 5ks, halves, etc.
how much water/gatorade each time?
I usually end up hitting roughly about 4/5 stations for water and 3 for gatorade.
