Thanks for the video. I also ran this Marathon, and was targetting my first Sub-3, but I didn't manage to make it. I made it in at 03:03:48. Do you think that would qualify for a sub-3 on a better course/day? I'm trying again in May in Copenhagen... They wouldn't let me start with the 3 hour pace group because my number said

I dont think it had proper waves where everyone was corralled into groups - there were predicted times on the bibs but it seemed as though you could start where you want!!! I was unlucky enough to be in the toilet queue when the race started so started at the very back!!! You will love it though, it’s a stunning race! Is it your first?
@@pksruns thanks for responding! It is my first marathon so I’m not entirely sure what to expect in terms of planning my arrival. I have done a half before. Like you, planning ahead helps a lot, Am I okay to assume 8am would be my approximate start time?
Yeah I think that’s safe to assume.., it’ll be a bit of chaos at the start and will filter out nicely over the first few miles. What’s your Strava? Would love to see how you get on 💪🏼
Thank you for the video, it will be my 5th marathon and I'm running it this year. What was the temperature approx.? I bet I'll need salt caps for it, as its so sunny there...
It was unbelievable to high 20s / early 30s but felt so much hotter as it was direct sun the whole time. That being said, it was a freak heatwave so they started the race an hour early - I think it’s normally a pleasant warm temp but not crazy! This was HOT
Brilliant video you likely passed me in with the 3.30 group keep up the great work👍👍
Oh fun!!! Thanks for the encouragement. What’s next for you?
Great video 🤩
Thanks so much 🙌🏼

Thanks so much - how’s your training going?
Silly question but did this course have start waves? I'll be doing this marathon as my first in a couple of weeks.

@@pksruns alright, thank you for info:)
@@pksruns good so far, did half in Madrid this April with time 1:26, so definitely targeting to finish sub 3 finally (3:06 last PB)
Well let me know how you get on - sounds like your well on track 🙌🏼
Great video mate, do you recommend lisbon for a first marathon?
Hi! Well, it’s an insanely beautiful marathon, so I’d say yes!!! I had a bit of a rough experience, but could have been avoided
