Thanks so much man! Good luck to you as well! Sub 3 for your first effort would be epic! Hope the training is all going well and enjoy the experience ✌🏼
I hope your training is going well mate! I'm coming down from QLD for the Syd Marathon (my first) - hoping for under 4 hrs but as we get closer, I'm coming to terms with the idea that it might be safer and more enjoyable for me to focus on the experience, rather than my time in my first marathon distance run - felt like your video here was on-point! Subscribed and looking forward to more content in the future!
Thanks so much mate! Training sadly has been very up and down for a few reasons the past few weeks but hopefully back on track now. Hope yours is all going well!! That's epic, my advice would be totally still go for that sub 4 if training is all going well, but still go out there with the intention of enjoying the experience if you don't quite make it! I definitely think for the first one you never really know what to expect, so having that goal of just enjoying it is always a good one! You've probably heard it before, but definitely the best advice is to start off nice and easy. It's so easy to go out too quickly and probably suffer quite a bit more later on. Always best to start off slightly slower, then pick up later on if you're feeling it :)
Thanks mate - On the day I know that I should start slow.... theoretically. In practice I find it far to easy to be swept up in the excitement! I hope you've managed to finish your training to plan - I'd love to see a vid about tapering for beginners - I'm muddling through, but I'm both very tempted to go a little further, and terrified of hurting myself in the final weeks. Keep up the great work!@@RunningWithTK
i'm literally going to subscribe because i decided to run the sydney marathon on a whim and i'm also an ex physio (dental now). Shall see you at c2s and sydney marathon mate! Gl and take care! Really excited for your sub 3. On the other hand i'm just literally aiming to finish!
Aww that’s epic! It’s great to see everyone getting behind the Sydney marathon, hopefully they can get that world major spot! Good luck with the training and hope it’s all tracking well. That was pretty much my goal for my first one too, just enjoy it mate! Definitely come say hi if you see me around at c2s or the marathon!✌🏼
A 3:34 first marathon is awesome! I went from a 4:19 to 3:36 to a 3:12 and to my PR of 2:56. I think your jump of 34 minutes is reasonable since you have some experience under your belt now. Long runs day are an absolute must, don't sleep on those days. Best of luck and stay consistent!
Thanks so much! And well done, that’s such an awesome progression!!! 👏🏻 I think for me from 3:34 I’ll likely progress in a similar way from your 3:36. I’d love to do sub 3 in my next effort but realistically I think it may be number 3. See how we go 🙂 Thanks so much for checking out the channel too!
Mate big respect to your mentality and approach to running, and sharing your experiences so far. I believe you have what it takes to get to where you want to be. Let's get it! 🙌
Really appreciate it Rob! I will definitely keep working at it 💪 Might see you at Rhodes Parkrun one day, my sister does it there so I might join her one Saturday!
I would love to do Sydney but have decided to focus on Tokyo in 2024. Looking forward to watching your journey. I am also going to begin to video my journey. After doing NYC and Chicago I wish I had recorded the memories. I am looking for 3:20 to get a time for Boston. Good luck and hopefully you get your sub 3
That’s a fair call! I was lucky to get a charity spot for Tokyo 🙌 so excited and maybe I’ll get the chance to see you there! It’s definitely great to watch back the videos, especially those big marathon experiences! Best of luck with the Boston qualifier. If I miss out in Sydney I’ll be hopeful to continue to sub 3 in Tokyo! Definitely a much flatter course so I think it’s looking more realistic for me at this stage!
Good luck, also looking to break 3 (London 2024), have come up short with two attempts before (both 3:04 at London), hamstring cramps cost me both times, so hoping to address that for the next one
Thanks so much! And best of luck for london next year too, getting so close it will make it even more rewarding next time! Sure with the right preparations you can address it for next time 🙏
Thanks so much!!! That's so awesome, wishing you the best of luck as well! 💪 Which marathon will you be doing in Dec? I love hearing about all the different ones around the world! Thanks so much for checking out the channel too 🙌
This is awesome and so many similarities with my journey. I also ran London in April as my first ever Marathon 3:37 (3:30 was my goal) now I’m 5 weeks away from my next and as much as I’d love sub 3, my aim is 3:10 for Chicago qualification
Sounds like we are on a very similar path mate! Congrats on the first finish and time, it's addictive isn't it haha How is your training all going for the next one? I'm 2 weeks out now and I think 3:10 is probably more the shape I am in as well. But we shall see, sadly the Sydney course is also quite hilly 😂 Best of luck with Chicago qualifier! Got this 💪
@@maipai4282 not sure what dafuq your chatting on about, what a shit unproductive coment. Who mentioned those times being near sub 3? I know what its going take and I know I'm not there yet
Best of luck mate. Stay disciplined with your training, listen to your body and you'll smash it! If it doesn't happen in Sydney, get yourself up to the Gold Coast next July - fastest course in Australia!
Thanks so much mate! If I had to guess I think I’m looking just over 3 hours at this stage, especially on a pretty hilly course! But I’ll definitely keep on working and see what happens. Gold coast next year could the one!
Good luck man. Sydney will be my first Mara and I'm chasing sub3 also
Thanks so much man! Good luck to you as well! Sub 3 for your first effort would be epic! Hope the training is all going well and enjoy the experience ✌🏼
So happy that I found your videos. All that high quality + good running content, I rly needed that. Thank you!
Thanks so much for checking them out!!!
Excited to follow your journey! 🙂

Anyone else running the Sydney Marathon this year? If so what are your goals for the race! 🏃🏅😃
BEST OF LUCK!! 🙌🏾
Can’t wait to watch your progress 💪🏾
I can relate so much!
Ran 3:32 in March’23 and now training for sub3 in December’23 🙌🏾
Thanks so much!!! That's so awesome, wishing you the best of luck as well! 💪 Which marathon will you be doing in Dec? I love hearing about all the different ones around the world! Thanks so much for checking out the channel too 🙌
@@RunningWithTK thank you 🙌🏾
I am doing CIM in Sacramento California.
Its a pretty famous Marathon here in the states 👍🏾

@@RunningWithTKhow did you sub 3 go? I missed my 3:10 goal by 0:01:56 - super happy with that though! sub 3 on the horizon now!!
Running 3.37 is nowhere near sub 3. Running 3.10 is nowhere near sub 3.
