Great job man. Really good effort. I was going for a 3:55, and ended up with a 4:30 because of bad cramping around 32K. That's me in the blue vest and grey cap at 5:00, so kind of cool to see myself on video at the race.
That's great hear you ran the race too 😀 Maybe the delayed start affected you too. It was a great day though. Good luck for your sub 4 in the future. My first marathon effort, not even at a race was about 4:30 or slower, so I'm sure you can get it soon, good luck ! And who knows where you can go after that
Well done Matt. It looks like a great race. Up and down at times though. Shame about the cramp towards the end. I started having 2 'My Vitamins' 'Electrolyte Plus' tables before a marathon and that seems to work for me (no electrolytes during the race). But different things work for different people. I'm impressed that you did another marathon a month after Manchester. Well done. Great video. Peter.
Thank Peter, good to hear what works for you and I've got to try different things so might give a go. There was alot of waiting and toilet breaks before the run that didn't help either, plus no bottles on course so wasnt ideal situations. Apparantly the race was delayed for a suspicious package left on the half mara course (shared the same start line), so a 1hr delay seemed short (we found out after, and better to be safe and slow). Another one in 4 weeks, you might remember, I'll announce soon.
Thanks HosTek, I wasn't here just for the marathon, and I wanted to enjoy it more than "win". I knew I wouldn't be able to prepare or be ready enough to hit the goal. I wanted to showcase the race too after enjoying it so much so I hope that came out for everybody 😀
Fantastic, that's a great result, I'm not sure of your PB but that would have been a great time for me 😀 I'd like to go to Calgary one day, I was only 1hr away on this trip at one point (at banff), maybe one day.
Big well done, a great video would love to do a marathon in Canada one day, looks amazing... hopefully you can get the cramp issue sorted seems like only thing holding you back at moment, will need to research what causes it
Nice job filming. I loved your attitude through the struggle.
thank you topoisomerace !! appreciate you watching and commenting 😃 Did you run vancouver this year or thinking of it sometime ?

Great run, mate! Really like your attitude..! You keep smiling even when things don't go to plan. That takes practice!!
