I did it this year, finished in 3:16. I was surprised how many people crossed the road during the run. Weather was perfect, middle 30s km’s where heavy with a lot of climbs. Final 1,5km was perfect, loved the final 100 meters 🤩
Bravo! Good job for your first Paris marathon, especially with a camera at the hand. Hope to see you again (it was my 25th Paris marathon and it is always a great joy)
Well done Craig!! Paris 2021 was my first ever marathon, and despite being hard work, was a phenomenal experience. Your video brought back a lot of memories (coincidentally it was sort of my birthday as well...51 and a half exactly on the day of the race!)
WOWWW!!! You did amazingly well, bravo!!! I will do my first ever marathon next Sunday here in Paris and I'll be lucky if I can do it in 5 hours I think. You made me laugh when you described running through the Bois de Boulogne as "nice country roads"!
Thanks very much for watching and for the kind words. Best of luck for your first ever marathon on Sunday, you’ll smash it! Haha, they’re not country roads at all; that’s what happens when an uncultured Englishman comes to Paris! Good luck
idk how but you looked so fresh the entire race! I started to run only 3 months ago and I plan to go for the Paris marathon in April next year. Thanks a lot for sharing this moment, I can't wait now!
What a great Time ! 💪 almost sub3. I live in Paris ,i hope you had a good Time this week 🤙 I support you ,good continuation man I made 4h28 for my first marathon .i will try sub 4h in April 🙏
Nice video Craig. Well presented, shot and edited. Without a go pro and if you pushed yourself you would easily go under 3 hours and it’s refreshing that you’re not bothered by that artificial time. I’m definitely tempted to do the Paris Marathon
Cheers fella. I'm definitely looking to break sub 3 hours very soon and it will probably be during a marathon where I don't have the Go Pro. Still, I'm glad to have captured the experience anyway. Give the Paris marathon a go, you'll enjoy it!
Well done mate! Solid time with a camera, you'll break that sub 3 on the next one. I also vlogged this marathon, however I didn't take my GoPro on the run as the time was my priority, credit to you. Keep going!
@@PoetWithPace Yes, got a few. Have Headcorn half marathon (in Kent) in a couple of weeks, the London Half Marks Half Marathon and I have the Richmond Path 100 Miler booked for early May (that one's going to be mental!). Got an injured ankle at the moment though which is putting a bit of a spanner in the works.
Congrats!! Nice to see your journey! I'm thinking about 'exploring Paris in a tempo run' next year, I mean do the marathon in Paris :) ! my first was in Wroclaw. I only wonder about the stacions with water? I didn't notice any... Were they there? Good luck!! Cheers from Poland, Joanna
Thanks for the kind words! This marathon was very well equipped with water stations and at least 2 toilet stations on the course. I would highly recommend it!
I probably could have beaten the 3 hour mark. Made some rookie mistakes like having to go to the toilet in the latter half which easily used like 30-45 seconds. Could have drunk more water/drinks on the way round too. That’s my new goal a sub 3!
Whenever I do a running vid like this I keep the go pro in my hand the whole time. It’s long winded but ideal for when I want to quickly shoot something

Have you ever ran the Paris Marathon? Let me know how your experience was!
I did it this year, finished in 3:16. I was surprised how many people crossed the road during the run. Weather was perfect, middle 30s km’s where heavy with a lot of climbs. Final 1,5km was perfect, loved the final 100 meters 🤩
Training hard for this year's race 🏃➡️. Was signed up for the 2020 run but missed out because of lock down
Bravo! Good job for your first Paris marathon, especially with a camera at the hand. Hope to see you again (it was my 25th Paris marathon and it is always a great joy)
Thank you! I really loved this marathon, it is indeed a great joy for all involved. I hope to take part again one day in the future!

Cheers fella, best of luck for when you get round to giving it a go!
Well done Craig!! Paris 2021 was my first ever marathon, and despite being hard work, was a phenomenal experience. Your video brought back a lot of memories (coincidentally it was sort of my birthday as well...51 and a half exactly on the day of the race!)

Very impressed with the video. I can't imagine running a marathon, let alone filming the whole thing myself. Nice finish!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)

Great time Craig, I did it too, amazing experience 🇫🇷👌
Thanks fella and congratulations! It was a great race for sure
great video, my juices are flowing for sunday ! HOPING TO BREAK 3
You’ve got this mate, it’s an ideal flat course for a sun 3. Go for it!
@@runningcafe1 just to let u know 2:58:24 !!!!!!!!!!
@@simonscotthorne3442 wow, fantastic time! Congratulations to you my friend!!!
Congrats on that awesome finish! surprised to see that there are almost no crowds!
Thanks! There were loads of crowds in some areas but others were a bit quiter, probably due to being more outside of the city. Thanks for the comment!
Nice video Craig. Well presented, shot and edited. Without a go pro and if you pushed yourself you would easily go under 3 hours and it’s refreshing that you’re not bothered by that artificial time.

Thanks James! Will definitely be aiming to break sub 3 very soon. Nice job for vlogging the marathon too, hope you enjoyed it!
Great video Craig and well done! I'm off to Paris in April.
Thanks Katie and James, hope you enjoyed the Paris marathon!
@@runningcafe1 unfortunately we didn’t make it out there as James got covid in race week 😭 but 10 of our members did and loved it!
bravo best time
Looks like a beautiful course! Cheers from Phoenix, Arizona.
Run a Marathon in Paris is such a good experience. I ran the 2017 edition. Nice sunny weather but hot (26 degrees). One of the best moment in my life.
It sure was a beautiful course; highly recommended!
Hi Craig what a marathon you did really well with your time I did vitalityone for London frist one time 6 24 mins I love to go one day looks good fun
Thanks Lorraine, well done for your marathon! Hopefully you can do Paris one day for sure
Well done Craig! Making it look so easy 🥳🥳
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it :)
@@runningcafe1 my pleasure Craig! Got another race lined up?
@@PoetWithPace Yes, got a few. Have Headcorn half marathon (in Kent) in a couple of weeks, the London Half Marks Half Marathon and I have the Richmond Path 100 Miler booked for early May (that one's going to be mental!). Got an injured ankle at the moment though which is putting a bit of a spanner in the works.
@@runningcafe1 oh wow that’s a LOT. Especially the 100 miler 🙀🙀…. Wishing you a speedy recovery 👍🏼
Happy birthday for Sunday! Will you be running Brighton again in April?
Thanks Sean! Not sure about April just yet but considering I’ve got my first 100 miler next May it might be great training to do Brighton!
Congrats!! Nice to see your journey!
I'm thinking about 'exploring Paris in a tempo run' next year, I mean do the marathon in Paris :) ! my first was in Wroclaw. I only wonder about the stacions with water? I didn't notice any... Were they there?
Good luck!!
Cheers from Poland,
Joanna
Thanks for the kind words! This marathon was very well equipped with water stations and at least 2 toilet stations on the course. I would highly recommend it!
@@runningcafe1 Thank you! finally I did it on April 2022, medal in my room, amazing experience!
You looked in great nick at the end of that race. You probably could have smashed the 3 hour mark?
I probably could have beaten the 3 hour mark. Made some rookie mistakes like having to go to the toilet in the latter half which easily used like 30-45 seconds. Could have drunk more water/drinks on the way round too.
That’s my new goal a sub 3!
Great video. How did you record yourself? Selfie stick or was someone there to run with you at your pace and record you from time to time?
Cheers Peter. I recorded myself using my Go Pro and a handheld tripod stick for it. Both top tools and well worth the investment!
@@runningcafe1Did you keep it in your running belt when you weren't recording or did you just run with it the whole way in your hand?
Whenever I do a running vid like this I keep the go pro in my hand the whole time. It’s long winded but ideal for when I want to quickly shoot something
