What a race! I won’t keep you in suspense; the Chicago Marathon is a great race! I ran this year with my daughter, Michelle, and our goal was to run a 3:35, which would be a P.R. for her. Did we make it? You’ll have to watch the video to find out!

Thanks for this, I'm coming from the UK to run Chicago this year (all being well) and this was great insight of what to expect, even made me a little emotional when you crossed the finish line. I think I'd forgotten how much I miss that feeling. Stay well.
I’m with you, Richard! I can’t wait for that feeling again! Chicago is a phenomenal race and extremely well organised. Good luck, my man! 👊🏼
i cant believe you went to the airport after the race i was still running when you were boarding haha
Steve Zebrowski 🤣 Next time we won’t rush things! That was a stressful time! 😅
Congratulations to you both, excellent running for Michelle. Awesome that you ran & paced for her, especially on your Birthday!
Thanks a lot, Melissa! It was a real birthday treat! Michelle and I are also running the NYC Marathon together next week, so stay tuned for that video! 👍🏼
@@its_Matt_B_ look forward to it. Rest up! When's your next event?
Wow, very good recap and I was very impressed by how you woke up so bright-eyed, that is admirable. I ran the marathon last year and hopefully I will run it again. It was an amazing experience.
kimone99 Congratulations on running Chicago! I was very impressed with this race! I can’t wait to go back!
As far as waking up bright-eyed,...it’s not always that way. There was a lot of race day/birthday excitement! 🥳🤣
Hey!!! I am getting ready for Chicago marathon 2022 and this video popped up and it’s by one of my favorite CZcamsrs!!!! As always great video Matt!
Cheers, David! Chicago is definitely in my top 3 marathons I've run! It's a great course in a great city! Good luck to you, and enjoy this taper week!
So glad I found your channel. This video was very informative and entertaining. I am running my first Chicago marathon in 9 days. I can't wait!!!! Thanks and let's keep the fun in the run!!!!!
Chicago was such a fun race and I enjoyed every minute! You're going to have an absolute blast! Good luck! Be sure to check back in and lmk how you get on! 💪🏽
Nice video man! Putting one together myself back in the damp UK. Loved the Chicago Marathon on Sunday. Nice edit and engagement with the runners and crowds.
Cheers
Scott :)
+Kishere Film thanks a lot, Scott! I can’t wait to see yours!
Feel privileged to be a part of your race day routine 😜 and thanks for the kudos... Both of you ran a great race, well done to you both. Great video once again Matt, enjoy your holidays :)
+Running with Marc Cheers and you’re welcome, Marc! Your race was an incredible accomplishment!
Reminds me of the 2019 Chicago Marathon, very exciting experience. Thank u very much!
It really was a great day to race! Thanks for watching!
Today, I ran Chicago Marathon and achieved a Personal Best of 3:50:54. I remembered I revealed to you that was my resolution for 2022 :). We were lucky to have an ideal weather for runners and for personal bests.
Wow! Congratulations and well done!3:50 is a very impressive time! How are you feeling today? Was the race everything you thought it would be?
The weather was ideal!
You are a machine no rest before the marathon im gonna race it this 2022
It was such a fun race! I'm keeping my 🤞 for you to have nice cool weather like I did in 2019!
@@its_Matt_B_ thanks
Nice video and recap, dude. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks!
jeffry husman Thanks, my man! Have you run Chicago?
@@its_Matt_B_ no.. just received the good news today, that I am in for Oct 2020!
jeffry husman congratulations! That’s great news! It’s such an exciting and well organized race! You will love it! Any races scheduled before then?
@@its_Matt_B_ yes, I plan one race in July to see if I am ready for Chicago.
jeffry husman what distance will you race in July?
Great race Vlog Matt!! That was a great time that y’all ran plus I think you ran another marathon in the airport. I applied to run the 2022 Chicago marathon and hoping that I get in.
Chicago was such an epic race! It was def. one of my favs! If you applied, you'll get in. I haven't heard Chicago having more applicants than security!
Congrats to you both on your expertly paced race and to your daughter on her PR! Happy to have found your channel, always nice to follow the journey of a fellow plant-based runner! Subscribed 👍🏻
+Nathan Clifford Cheers, Nathan! I appreciate the sub! Michelle and I will also be running the NYC Marathon together next weekend. There will be a video! 👊🏼
Awesome!! Good luck, enjoy your race. Looking forward to the Vlog/recap! 👌
Nice video bro. Thanks for sharing your experience. I will run Chicago Marathon next year. :)
You’re going to love it! It’s such a great race, and it’s the perfect time of year to visit Chicago!
Brought back great memories of doing Chicago in 2018 - love the city and the race. I think on your 25k split you need to add the 20k to Half and the Half to 25k splits - getting around 25' for that 5k. It confused me at first when looking at my Chicago results. Great running :-)
+David O'Leary Cheers, Davey-boy! Glad you could relive your race!
Yes, someone pointed out the 5k splits weren’t 5k between 20k-25k because of the 13.1 mile checkpoint in between. Good observation! 👊🏼
Great video! I just got the acceptance email for Chicago 2020! Cant Wait!
+The Corey J. CZcams Channel Congratulations on getting into Chicago! It really was a fun and well-organized race! Do you have a goal in mind or is it too far away for you to make a realistic goal?
Matt Bertrand I hit my half goal Sunday at FWC Half. Dope video u made on that run too btw. Too early tbh, but depending on how I do in Miami in February, will determine my chicago goal.
The Corey J. CZcams Channel ahh, Miami is a great race (especially the first half!). I’m running the St. Pete Distance Classic on the same day!
@@its_Matt_B_ i have to do more races over there by the water. Such great views! Good Luck on that race, im looking forward to the video post!
Me too... see you there, bro!
25k split is from half(21.1k) to 25k. If you add the half and the 25k you will get the 5k split for 20k-25k. This is probably irrelevant now but I wanted to mention it anyway :D
Yeah, I realized that soon after. Thanks for your input though. It's appreciated! 👊🏼Have you run Chicago?
@@its_Matt_B_ Yes, in 2018. My best marathon experience so far. Loved the crowds and the course. Signed up for the 2021 lottery. Thanks for the great video, its fun to reminisce :)
@@100maxPower I totally agree with you ; the Chi marathon did everything well! Good luck getting in to the 2021 running! 🍀
Happy birthday)
Thanks a lot, Vlad! A birthday marathon is the best kind of marathon AND the best kind of birthday!
it was really a wonderfull race!.... i also have a vlog about it... how did you copue with the cold?
I brought throw-down clothes. I was really bundled up before the race started!
Bummer on the gps mapping. I had the same issue with my garmin 235. By the end of the race, I was about 0.5 mile off on the distance. Do you have the ability to zoom in on your tracking map you were displaying. It will really show just how wacky the signal gets. Mine shows me going through buildings and zig-zagging all over the place in the downtown area. I totally agree on manually locking in the mile splits which I had to do. On a side note, were you tracking your pace as you were running to catch your flight? Looked like you were hauling ass. LOL 😜 . Great finish for both of you. Hope you run Chicago next year.
I just took a closer look at my GPS track and it's CRAZY! That was good for a laugh!
No, I wasn't tracking my pace running through the airport, but I wish I would have thought of that! I think the camera makes it look like we were moving faster than we were; it felt like a slow hobble at the time! 😂
not as cold??? .. my god i was freeezing!!!!
🤣 I thought it was a pretty ideal temp for running, but you're right about it being freezing at the start!
For race day breakfast, I have a bagel with PB.
Danny Pimienta It’s the PB that matters. The delivery method could be anything. I usually choose a banana, but a spoon works just as well! 😁
@@its_Matt_B_ I find a spoon to be dangerous lol. Before you know it you're scraping the bottom lol
@@DannyPimienta Dangerous? Yes, but with great power comes great responsibility! 🤣
@@its_Matt_B_ that is a very heavy responsibility lol
Toast and nut butter.
Kevin Decoteau Nut butter and (insert anything)! 🥰
hi bradd, i just did new york marathon, i will do chicago in 2020, what is the profile of the race, new york was a bit difficult
thank you very much for your video
+Patrick ANDRES Compared to New York, Chicago is totally flat. It’s a very fast course! Check out my NYC Marathon video too! 👊🏼
Scheduled to run it this year. Fingers crossed
+Twin540i Oh yeah! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you! I’m scheduled to run the Marine Corps Marathon on October 25th.....we’ll see! 👊🏼
@@its_Matt_B_ Did MCM 2017, amazing experience despite blistering on my ankle 14 miles from Iwo Jima memorial. Been 4 years of NYC and Chicago lottery with my luck turning with chicago after signing up for Baltimore marathon before the lottery results (Baltimore is scheduled 6 days after Chicago date :-0)
@@Twin540i I've heard so many good things about MCM....I can't wait! Will you still run Baltimore?
@@its_Matt_B_ I will do baltimore but it is not going to be my PR like in 2016
@@Twin540i Haha! No, I doubt it would be a week after Chicago! It'll be fun to do it on tired legs though!
Is there a reason you eat peanut butter? does it help with the marathon
No, I can’t say it helps with the marathon any more than any other food, but it allows me to get enough calories (fat and protein). Plus I like eating it. 🤷♂️
Is GoPro allowed in the marathon?
CALVIN RICH Yes! You’re allowed to film but not allowed a selfie stick.
Your in Sarasota right ?? I’m in st Pete
Yeah, well actually I’m just north of Sarasota in Lakewood Ranch, but close enough! How is everything going for you? Lots of staying inside, much like everyone, I’m sure!
@@its_Matt_B_ honestly just working alot which i can do luckily via laptop and phone trying to build my mileage back up. did 6.2 last sat going for 7 tomorrow.. That was my first marathon and it kinda wrecked me for awhile , this time around ill do some strength training i learned alot from doing it im in chicago again 2020 if it happens are you?
Steve Zebrowski Don’t worry too much about your first marathon wrecking you! They definitely get easier in some ways, although they’re never easy. Does that make sense? I should say that the distance becomes something that is manageable and not something you’ll dread. That itself makes the whole race seem a little easier to approach. No, I’m not going to Chicago this year. I’m registered for the Marine Corps Marathon AND the Rotterdam Marathon on October 25th, however I don’t know if races will be being held by then. I hope so!
It does make sense everyone kept saying be comfortable with being uncomfortable but until you go thru it you’ll never understand what that mean. Now I know how much it will suck and be better mentally to deal with it. Maybe embrace pain vs let it beat me up I pretty much walked a mile straight after mile 23 to get my mind and second wind back
Where did you stay?
Aljoe Jao The Residence Inn downtown. It was nice and they had breakfast set up early on race day!
Takes like 30 mins at least to board a plane. No need to run lol
🤣 Yeah, you're 100% right!
