    My favorite lesson from this video is people are kind!
    I started crying when I saw that 3:00 pacer just cheering you... they can probably run faster, but they are running for other people! Also you, Floris, dedicating this to your family... after health, family is the most important thing in the world.

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  Před 2 měsíci +4

      Totally, such a supportive team of pacers and crowd. Totally family is so important! Appreciate you

    Wow! That was awesome! Thank you for recording that- I was set to run Tokyo 2024 as well and was sidelined 3 weeks before the race with a stress fracture in my hip. Watching your video brought me to tears and it was incredible to see the race through you! Congrats! You are inspiring!

      @@FlorisGierman I didn't! But I'll be lying if I said it was easy at the end there. Especially with the wind and the warm temps. I really had some doubts around 22 and especially at 24 but I was able to battle through and finish with a 7 min PR. I'll take it.....onto the next!

    Floris, I discovered your zone 2 training video last summer and that inspired me to increase my weekly mileage! That snowballed into beginning to believe I could do marathon...leading to applying for the Tokyo Marathon...and then to FINISHING the Tokyo Marathon (my first one)!! Thank you for being an inspiration to this community and I'm already looking forward to the next one!!

    Great work!! Very impressive result given that you were not training too much prior to it :D and I really enjoy your recording, Tokyo street view looked amazing! The slowmo shots were cool, but maybe a bit too many of them, it would be cooler to see the cheering crowd in a normal speed :D

    Well done on a great marathon! You worked out where you were in terms of fitness and just stayed with that. I was impressed how relaxed you looked. Loved seeing the supporters and what lovely pacers! I have a marathon coming up and the training is not going as planned because of managing an injury so my takeaway for the day will be, run the race I am able to do rather than the one I had hoped for. That will be my best chance of having the best experience possible. Thank you

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  Před 2 měsíci

      A marathon surely strips away all layers and the raw emotions easily come up. It's part of the journey that some other runners also experience. It's not easy to put vulnerability in videos, but those low and high feelings are what makes a marathon special. Thanks @realgrilledsushi

    The lesson: no one but you can make the difference on you're own world! So, trust yourself, work hard, be resilient, confident and consistent, but always listening to your body. Take your place and release all the magic that is inside. You are your master.

    @fiorisGierman the videos you made that remain etched in my mind the most are the Low HR training vids where you are running a sub 3 while talking to the viewers the whole time. I know all that work you put in is what makes it seem easy to you, and hard to some of us! Great work and may God allow you to continue to shine your light upon others!

    Wow great race! Love your positive spirit in the midst of challenge. Thanks for sharing your nutrition. Would be interesting to know your travel routine like how far in advance you arrive when travel long distance.

      Thank you! For Tokyo the time difference with LA was 17 hours, so I flew in further ahead. Left LA on Wednesday, arrived at the hotel Thursday end of day. Friday bib pick up, Saturday shakeout run, Sunday race. As soon as I depart the airport, I put the local time zone on my watch and try to force myself to adjust. I remove caffeine for that 24 hours, wear blue light blocking glasses and bring face mask / ear plugs to sleep in the plane. Hope that helps.

    favorite lesson i learned as im training for my first half marathon is that it's all mental and nobody can push you to do it. it's all you!

    Dude, amazing execution, filming yourself, running, picking up the water cup, drinking the water without spilling, properly placing the cup in a trash receptacle. Legendary.

    You introduced me MAF training in the most critical moment of my life !! Thank you! Can’t wait for the GOAT interview 😊

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  Před 2 měsíci +2

      So happy to hear that. Honestly MAF training changed my training, racing, but more importantly my daily life. Still editing the interview with Kipchoge, will probably post in the next 7-10 days. All the best!

  • @Ojibwayrunner
    @Ojibwayrunner Před 2 měsíci

    Great video. Love the slow-motion editing. I really love the costumes that the spectators were wearing. Secondly, I like that even during this race, you are always looking to coach through the videos. Dedication. Only 1 major left, then time to come to the dark side. 😂🎉

    • @FlorisGierman

    ❤it made me cry to see how many people are so brave and train to run a marathon. I am a follower of your CZcams and podcast and I have learned so much. I just started my running journey. My take away is “we can do hard things, but we have to train for it” thank you so much for all the inspiration.

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  Před 2 měsíci

      Well done on your running journey so far and that's a great takeaway Magnoliamsed! Enjoy your runs out there. Cheers

    awesome time and what a great race! i similarly needed to be alone with my pain from 20km-35km (till the final out and back).
    Thought I saw you checking out at Keio Plaza hotel but I wasn't sure (wasn't on socials the last days before race). Darn, should have asked you for a photo.

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  Před 2 měsíci

      Small world! I did spend 2 days in the Keio Plaza hotel to record several podcasts. Next time hit me up and we'll talk running. Hope you enjoyed your time in Tokyo! Cheers

    Congrats with the race !
    And thanks for all the valuable info about Zone 2 training and especially for the link to Zones calculator where you put your age, resting and max. HR.
    Before October 12th, 2023, I was depressed as hell, unfit and skinny fat, burned out at my job with relationships that were cracking.
    Now I’m less depressed, in my best form, sharing a new hobby with my girlfriend. My easy runs are in 9min/mile instead of 13m/m, I can run sub 2 half, and average 30miles per week training for my first marathon.

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  Před 2 měsíci +1

      So awesome to hear about your progress! Running is not just changing your pace, but your life too. Keep on crushing it Roman!

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Honestly wasn't sure if I could pull it off or miss my goal, yet the weather was on my side on race day. Appreciate you!

  • @uvolniavka
    @uvolniavka Před 2 měsíci +1

    A sub-3 hour marathon on 24 miles running per week for the 12-week period prior to the event? This is hugely impressive, at least in my eyes.

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  Před 2 měsíci

      Glad the temperatures cooperated that day, or I'd have been in trouble. Thank you

      @FlorisGierman  Před 2 měsíci

      Haha, calm on the outside, but inside holding on for dear life to keep that pace going. Kipchoge interview should be done in the next 7-10 days, stay tuned!

      That's a great first major and the most difficult one to get into for many runners. Enjoy!
