Aloha Russ. I'm Allan Jay the guy tossing the Water in the air. Wow. Thanks for highlighting in your video. NY was a blast. Hope you loved your experience as we did. Much Mahalos!
Hey, Allan Jay !!! I was kinda wondering if you'd see this. I'm glad I managed to capture you here - a memorable moment. It was a great day. Great to hear from you - good luck with future running adventures !!
I know it is nearly a year later, but well done you! I ran in wave five and it was brutal, especially considering I was focused so much on a cool weather run during all my brutal summer training runs. I ended up in the dark from 5th Avenue on, but the crowds were still there cheering through the park!
Incredible video Russ, this was my first major marathon too. Incredibly tough conditions that I've found hard to articulate to people, but this video brought it all flooding back in vivid detail, thanks so much for sharing!
I ran my first NYC Marathon that weekend too! so HOT!!! but it was an experience i will no soon forget! congrats on finishing.. it was a battle out there! thanks for sharing all this footage!
Congratulations on your run, I was there too and saw the lady with the dog as well. I know how hard it is and how special and amazing it feels not just to finish but to be part of this amazing and painful party. All the best to you in your future runs.
I was lucky enough to be picked and run my first one too in NYC this year (my brother-in-law has been trying for 7 years!). Congrats Russ!Thank you for the video to help me relive this incredible experience. I feel like someone needs to pinch me because it still seems unreal.
Congratulations, Tyler. We were lucky to get a place. Yeah looking back it already seems almost like a dream now. Good luck with your future running adventures!
I ran it in 1995, it was bitterly cold that year, +3*C from memory! I flew back to Heathrow from JFK on a Virgin Atlantic 747 two days later and it was snowing in New York, happy memories. I did 3hrs 20 mins 😊
Nice video. Congrats on finishing on such a hot day. A lot of folks dropped out. It was my 33rd NYC marathon. Started running after very ill for many years. Signing up for #34 soon. :) hope you get to come again and run in better temps.🏃♂️
There are a few other ways to get into the NYC Marathon, other than the lottery. Next year you could sign up for the Virtual NYC Marathon with Strava, in 2023, for guaranteed entry in 2024 -- but sign up right away as this option sells out quickly. You could also commit to raising funds for one of the charities that the NYC Marathon endorses, and get in that way; or you go the 9 plus one program, that is, run 9 NYRR races and then volunteer for one. If you take this option, be sure that the nine NYRR races that you run will count for earning NYC Marathon Guaranteed Entry, as not all their races will count. Only about 12% of lottery entrants get in that way, so you need to use one of these other options. Good luck.
@@RussRunning It would be hard to organize a race for 53,000 people and not have "faults" somewhere along the line, as it is the world's largest marathon and a huge event to organize. --- from a 22-time NYC Marathon finisher
I ran New York in 2022 and you really captured how hard a day it was. It was a long day for me (and for you) but I finished your video feeling that you really showed the magnitude of the achievement to finish that day. Congrats, and hope you pick a cooler one for your second marathon (come to Chicago!!).
Hey thanks ! NYC was supposed to be a one off once-in-a-lifetime thing, but now I'm running Chicago this year !! Unfortunately, rules say we're not allowed to film it - but that might be a good thing, because I've been training harder and feeling stronger this year, so looking forward to hopefully running it a bit better.
Great video.. Thanks for providing the full race experience through this video. I’m preparing for a marathon myself.. And congratulations for completing the race
Hello, it is almost always cold for the New York City Marathon. Unfortunately you had hot, humid weather for your first time running it -- but good for you that you finished it. Well Done.
@@RussRunning I agree. I suffered very much in the high humidity. I admire you for finishing it when it was your first marathon and you didn't know how your body would react to the distance. Congratulations! I hope you will give it another try, because the NYC Marathon is usually run in cool weather, and it IS a very exciting race!
Congratulations Russ; a huge accomplishment! This was our daughter's first full marathon, starting along with you in Wave 5. Like you she finished around the 5 hour mark so chances are good you guys paced together! You did a fantastic job recording the journey. I am putting together a video for our family of the clips, pictures and snapshots of the tracking markers we captured as we followed her progress and of course her finish. With your permission I would like to include a few of your great captures of sights & sounds you passed along the way. Please let me know if that would be ok. Congratulations again on a great achievement and recording so well for posterity!
Hi Bob, glad to hear your daughter finished okay - it was a tough one ! Congratulations to her, I wish her well in any future run challenges. Yes, please feel free to use short clips of my video for your personal / family video project (although if it goes on UA-cam, I'd ask you to maybe please credit this channel as a source). Thanks for asking.
Thanks! I was wave 5. I hadn't been prepared for how humid it was on the day. Hope you get to run it next year..it's an unforgettable experience. Feel free to ask any other questions.
Didn't take me 10 hours. That'll be the time since the first starting gun, I think (?). I was slow (just over 5), but thankfully not quite "10 hours" slow !
I don't quite get it why people not ready still run a marathon (I see many walking on this video). To me it shows nothing but a lack of preparation. Why do a marathon for 6 hours? I probably can walk that fast. I trained for over a year for my first marathon, overall about three years now running, and ran a month ago for 3:18. I am 51
Well done on 3:18. You're right to feel proud of yourself for that. I think a factor on this day was the unexpected 90% humidity. I like to think most people trained; I know I certainly did, from c25k up to a few half marathons, then a 20 week marathon training plan. Everyone is different, and one thing I love about the running community is people are mostly very supportive of each other regardless of level of ability.
@@FoxBox72 I don't mean to sound unsupportive but from my experience meeting runners at different events shows that doing marathon unprepared is very hard both on physical level (injuries etc) and psychological. Many people dropped running after very hard experience and that's what I am mostly afraid of. Completing a marathon is a great accomplishment, but at the cost of not running then for many years or ever again? i wish there would be more warnings about this
@@FoxBox72 alexanderdergay912 was NOT at all supportive, and rather condescending -- but you are right, MOST people in the running community are supportive. Not everyone has his running ability or perhaps the time to train. Some may be parents working two jobs and taking care of small children, and have limited time to train. We should all be proud of them just for finishing, even if they didn't finish fast enough to suit the arrogant alexanderdergay912.

nice job on the 3:18. I think most people tend to think of a marathon as an abstract idea of a milestone or bucket list item that they need to do. Honestly, who cares how long it takes, the goal for some is finishing. The goal for others is finishing in 3:18. Many people consider even walking 26.2 miles all at once to be a great achievement and for them, it is. How would you like if Kipchoge came up to you and said...3:18, why even bother? Most people don't even show up for a race so i say kudos to those that did, prepared or not.

Gratuliere zum Finish!!! Grossartige Leistung 👋Sehr informatives Video, vielen Dank
Oh my how wonderful to watch. Such an inspiration you made me feel like I was right there with you. Congratulations! In tears watching everyone.
Russ, you're a star! Still standing :)
I always cried tears of gratitude as I ran along Central Park South.
Congratulations on your run, I was there too and saw the lady with the dog as well. I know how hard it is and how special and amazing it feels not just to finish but to be part of this amazing and painful party. All the best to you in your future runs.
Thanks ! "Amazing and painful party" sums it up perfectly! Happy running 👍
Great video. glad you found your wife. very emotional to watch-cant wait to run this year. hope it is cold out..
Have a great run - hope it goes well for you!

Well done Russ and quite a marathon to choose as your first one 🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations 🎊 🎊 🎊 🎉 🎉 🎉
Really nice video! I hope you still think about this run for years to come. Great memory!
I was also running NYC this year and it was amazing to experience it once again. Congrats and great movie!
Thanks. Congratulations, fellow NY runner 👍
This is fantastic x 🎉
Amazing video Russ! 🥰🎉 xxx
This is awesome, congratulations!
Beautiful footages!
Congrats on your 1st! Great job of editing and capturing the race. This is my Dream race. Can't seem to win the race lottery every year I tried.
Yeah I struck it lucky. Keep trying ! I found the event not without its faults, but an unforgettable experience. Good luck with future draws !
Something like between 7 and 11 % of lottery people actually get in .. over 250,000 people enter the lottery.
There are a few other ways to get into the NYC Marathon, other than the lottery. Next year you could sign up for the Virtual NYC Marathon with Strava, in 2023, for guaranteed entry in 2024 -- but sign up right away as this option sells out quickly.

Great video.. Thanks for providing the full race experience through this video. I’m preparing for a marathon myself.. And congratulations for completing the race
Thanks ! Good luck with your Marathon training !
Congratulations! It was tough. Thanks for the video, it's great to remember how it was
Yep, it felt like a tough one ! Congrats, glad I can help share a few memories with fellow runners :-).
great Job. Congratulations !!

I was there and it wasn’t easy. A struggle from 9 miles on!! You did good to finish
Thanks ! Yeah seems I picked a tough one. Hope u finished okay.
Great video! Just as I remember :)
Just saw this. And so did I. Did my first right before I turned 50 in the Gold Coast marathon 2024. Felt really special.
Congratulations 👍👍👍
Really good running effort. Great video, too 👍
Thanks ! :)
Love the vid it is brilliant
Top quality Russ. Did Coppola help you?
Inspirational
This video was epic. Thank you for making it. I want to run in '24. Do you mind me asking what wave you were in?
Thanks! I was wave 5. I hadn't been prepared for how humid it was on the day. Hope you get to run it next year..it's an unforgettable experience. Feel free to ask any other questions.
Congratulations! Did you get a finishers t shirt?
❤
Awesome. I ran first and second marathons this year at age 49. Nice to see our age group represented :)
Wow you did well starting with 2 ! Congratulations, good luck with future adventures :-)
👍👍🏃♂️🏃♂️
Is this marathon usually this humid? Why was my time so much slower?
This was my first NYC Marathon.. I’m 53 !
Hey ! That's great - congratulations !
But even if it's your first NYC Marathon, Lou, I know you're an awesome runner, as I have seen your posts on Christian's channel. 😀
10 hours 😮
Didn't take me 10 hours. That'll be the time since the first starting gun, I think (?). I was slow (just over 5), but thankfully not quite "10 hours" slow !
It was a great day: ua-cam.com/video/1y9GT1C1n8I/v-deo.html My day started at 3am. I was standing right there, at 2:27
Cool video. Nice to see a different perspective !
