Yes Jess!!! I am a fellow Jess who also cramped in the last mile of my marathon on Sat. I had to run through it to sprint finish and make my Boston Qualifying time by 43 seconds 😂 it hurt so bad and I passed a guy walking in those last 200 meters. The struggle is freaking real. You crushed. So proud of you!
Congratulations! You are such an inspiration. I also tell myself during races that I've done harder things to get me through. "Believe that you can. Decide that you will." I've just written that down - I love it!
Well done Jess! Wise words and I was in the same predicament too. I did the Nottingham Robin Hood Half on the same day and thought "those hills are nasty, I'll just aim for a 2h30". Without realising I started with the 2h05 pacer and I dropped back a fair bit for the first 6 or so KM. But, just like you, my legs felt so fresh that I eventually caught and passed that same pacer at the halfway mark and eventually beat the 2h goal I've had since I started my running journey last year. My previous best was a 2h09 on a flat course earlier this year. Belief and self-confidence, knowing you can do the time in training and applying it to race day. Adrenaline and the crowd really makes the difference! But I have to say, if it wasn't for everyone at The Running Channel for showing me all of your journeys, I probably would've given up already. Truly inspirational and again, amazing effort and congratulations Jess, well deserved - you smashed it!!!
@@ADHD_Runner Thanks. I think it was one of those days where everything just "clicked" and I had a wonderful time along a gorgeous route. If no one's done the Nottingham Half yet, then I highly recommend it!
Ran a PB this year as well, the emotions over the line were too much and I blubbed for a solid 2 minutes. There is nothing wrong with releasing months of focus and effort after it culminates into a beautiful moment. Congratulations
Well done Jess!! Crying at the end for and with you, you shared the journey of a marathon and trying to hit a goal whilst fighting those annoying internal demons. So happy for you, huge hugs 🤗 x
So good! Congrats Jess, I’ve told heaps of people about you missing out on sub 3 by 11 seconds (just brutal) and now can tell that you came back and did sub 3!
Congratulations Jess!! That was incredibly inspiring! I could feel the cramping in that last 400m. I’m attempting my first ever full marathon in Melbourne on the weekend. I’m so incredibly nervous. I’ve followed my brilliant Runna app training plan for 20 weeks. I know I will have to fight my mind throughout the day. I’m determined to not let it beat me. I’m aiming for just under 4hrs but I know at the end of the day just finishing a marathon will be something I never thought would be possible.
You are such a machine Jess. So impressive and so tough. What a great achievement. Congratulations on your new PB, thanks for sharing the joy with us!!! 🎉
OMG… so emotional watching that and was crying before you even crossed the line. Such an incredible person and you’ve inspired me to get the shoes back on and get some me time on the roads. I’ve not run all year, but know its time to get back out there after I heal from my ACL surgery ❤
That was just brilliant, very inspiring. I knew Jess had achieved her goal before I started watching, but still I was (in my head, lol!) shouting to the tv ‘go Jess, run!’ as she was approaching the finish line. What an amazing performance!
Incredible, well done Jess! I’ve been inspired to set myself the challenge of going sub-3 (got 24 minutes to shave off so will take some time) - thanks for sharing your journey and showing us how it’s done.
Jess is such a great sport & this is such a great video! Formidable achievement! In pain she brought joy -incredibly inspiring! "Believe that you can, but decide that you will"🔥🔥🔥
Great video and greater run! Isn't it funny how "seconds" make such a difference between reaching a self made goal or not? So glad to know there is a large tribe of people out there that are wired the same way! Congrats Jess!
Got my first trail race on Saturday and I've not been able to train for nearly two weeks. I was in a pretty grim place mentally because of that but this has lifted me. I'm going to put faith all the weeks of training in the bag and give all I can. Thank you.
Great run Jess. I was following your tracker on the day and the last 400m seemed to take forever as I watched the clock. Brilliant. You deserved that after putting in the hard efforts
This video is incredible! I'm attempting my first sub-3 in 3 weeks (3:02:48 PR). I'm so incredibly nervous and overanalyzing my training. Your grit and emotions at the end reminded me why we do this! Congratulations!!!
You're an absolute superstar! The number one battle is against your own demons and you crushed them. Also, fighting through the pain is one of those wonderfully bittersweet flavours most people simply miss out on... The sweet part of the bittersweet comes a bit after the race... Congratulations Jess!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this run with us. I love the four zones, the clarity of your mantra - believe you can and decide you will - and the determination you had to nail this goal. It is absolutely inspiring.
Brilliant video Jess and massive congratulations. The pain on your face in those last 400m looked intense, so kudos for powering through. A true champion
Congrats Jess on a fab achievement and i dont know if its the frustrated/injured runner in me, but these video's do bring the 😭 in me also (thinking 1 or 2 of Sarah's marathon vids also) loved that colour visualisation /break distance into 4 - will remember this!
Such an inspiration Jess!!!❤ I love that you're open with your struggles as a runner. I also struggle with confidence in running a new pb and pushing my limits. Thank you for being so open about it
YES JESSSSSSS!!!! If you can't be motivated by your journey you stand no chance! Love this and thank you for sharing the highs and lows! Smashed it girl!!
This was beautiful and inspiring. "Believe that you can but decide that you will." @runningchannel and Jess, Thank You for such a touching and inspirational video. Congratulations, Jess
Amazing work! Sat crying at this right before going out for one of my last training runs before my half marathon this weekend! Hope I can dig deep like you did ❤
Amazing Jess. Im less than 3 weeks away from my 2nd marathon this year - Dublin. Runna has helped me so much. Aiming for 4 hrs or fingers crossed, just below it. Bring it on!!!!
Congrats Jess!!! I'm using the Runna app for the first time. I'm excited to see the results. I'll def come back to the video before the marathon. Your mental toughness is phenomenal! ✝️
Congrats and much respect , i remember my first sub3 so vivid like it was yesterday. It felt so life changing, like everything you offered and worked hard for in training came togheter and you find an all time inner peace. This one they can't take you off girl 💪🏅.
Jess, this was amazing. Well done well done well done! I get super nervous before races and especially pb attempts. I found your whole video very relatable especially as I’m going to be trying to break 3:30 for the first time in 13 days 😳
Having gone out and just run my first marathon I am blown away by what you've achieved here. I cannot imagine how much mental strength is required to push through such physical discomfort & pain to keep on running your target splits - especially the ones required for a sub-3h time. Chapeau.
You are amazing! That is such a tremendous effort - all of that hard work coming to fruition, and right through the pain barrier, you should be so proud of yourself!
Perception is so much of a mind f**k 😂 when I run 4:20 kpm (my current 5k goal pace) I feel like I am sprinting as fast as I can but whenever I watch anyone else at this pace online it looks like they are cruising along so easy! 🤦♂️ well done Jess for maintaining this for a marathon! Incredible effort and congratulations!
Well done! That's amazing. I ran my first marathon earlier in May and I came in 3:00:53. I was on pace to break 3 hours but once I hit 34km I broke down and felt so sick. I managed to drag on for the next 8k, though, and beat my 2nd goal of sub 3:05:00 to qualify for chicago :) Well done again Jess!
Without spoiling the results for others who've not watched the video (but read ahead in the comments), congrats on your chip time (official) being even better than your GPS time (42.6km +/-). Also, having looked at the splits, I am honestly amazed at how consistent your splits and pace were up to 40km. Well done!
"Believe that you can, but decide that you will" gave me chills! What an awesome video
It's a great moto isn't it!
The best!! … awesome job Jess 🎉😅
@@runningchannel I’ll keep it in mind for my next PR training block. Sub 3 seems far now, but I’ll get there. This got me pumped!
@@runningchannel Needs to be on a T-Shirt
Loved that bit!
‘‘Believe that you can, but decide that you will’’
Love it. Well said Jess!!! Huge congrats.
What's your race Moto?
@@runningchannel not as poetic but ‘ you have done the work now time to execute’
@@runningchannelDon't die
@@English.runner.en.Espana That's a nice moto.
I’m a 53yo bloke who has no idea who is cutting onions. Bloody fantastic video and honesty Jess. So inspirational 👏👏👏
That’s a truly great comment. Some great positive energy coming from you! Love it.
I'm a chef too
Was so excited to see you at the Expo, i didn't hit my 4 hour goal like we talked, but still a 20 minute PR. Congrats on the race, you worked HARD.
You worked hard too! Congratulations!
Well done! It's the trick to get a PB by not too much, so the next PB is around the corner, so great work!
Sooo lovely to meet you! And huge congrats on your PB 💪
I am always amazed at the amount of ENERGY Jess, displays.
⚡️ 🔋
Get Taylor as a presenter on the running channel! Great bits of wisdom!
Well done🎉❤. You've inspired me to believe that the sub 4:30 marathon I've been training for is achievable.
Incredible well done!! 💪
you've got this! Keep training and you'll make it happen!
This made me cry happy tears for you!
I swear every time I watch Jess I'm crying lol. So amazing!!!
❤️
Get way too emotional at TRC videos...Great to see people achieve goals regardless if that is a 3hr marathon or 60 min 10k

Truly inspirational.. Iam chasing the sub 3 marathon and after watching YOU i believe i can do it.. Thank you for sharing your experience 😍

Such great advice to imagine 4 quarters in those colors. I'll use that for me.
You are such a machine Jess. So impressive and so tough. What a great achievement. Congratulations on your new PB, thanks for sharing the joy with us!!! 🎉

You got this! As long as you are healthy on race day you will have lost very little fitness, and have really fresh legs. Have a nice race!
Great run Jess. I was following your tracker on the day and the last 400m seemed to take forever as I watched the clock. Brilliant. You deserved that after putting in the hard efforts
