This video is an attempt to share some thoughts about the marathon.
As humans we are very complex and I've been wondering for a while how that can be interpreted into a running perspective.
I don't have the tools yet to express all thoughts, and some are probably not even interesting.
Feel free not to take any of this seriously.
But I'd still like to know, what's really the marathon for you?
Til the next one,
Yo.

I ran my first marathon a few weeks ago, just dipping under 3 hours, and I also felt a bit underwhelmed by it all. Even though I’d just run the 7th fastest marathon for my age group in the UK this year, it felt like just another race.

Well firstly well done. Nothing can take that away.
Secondly, interesting to see there is a feeling of unsatisfaction linked to races shared by other runners.
Thanks for sharing your opinion

I stopped doing many competitions long time ago, as the prices started to increase to much. Now I prefer to set my goals in training instead of competition. Do the long run/swim just a little bit longer. Improving or reaching old interval times from when I was in top form and so on. The feeling of seeing your training times improve throughout a year is more gratifying then doing the competition itself. Your goals become also more long term and you do not get this empty feeling after the competition you were training for.

I can totally see your point , focusing on the journey rather than the end. Many thanks for sharing!
