  • At the time of uploading the world record is being ratified, which can take up to 12 weeks:www.guinnessworldrecords.com/...
    Massive thank you to everyone who supported me during the race and Manchester Marathon for accommodating it, what a great race!
    And thank you to you for watching!
    If you’re still reading this, please like the video hehe
    And if you’re still reading this and are an eagle eyed viewer, my watch pace was 5 seconds a mile faster than my official pace hence the deviation between my watch and the splits on screen.

    The world record is currently going through ratification which can take up to 12 weeks, I’ll be sure to update the description once I get confirmation! Thank you for watching! 😃

      I will run my first marathon 1st of june, I think I'll stick to hoka 😅

    • @John-wd5bu
      @John-wd5bu Před 15 dny

      @@KassPaAttHava hoka has a very low heel drop compared to a lot of other running shoes. Having your Achilles tendon under that much compression and that little help might cause Achilles tendonapathy which could side line you for close to a year. I wouldn’t do it, but I’m not an expert. Google it and ask some experts

      Have you heard of Alexander Pachev? He and his family were running in Crocs. His best marathon time in Crocs is 2:34. There is a CZcams channel: www.youtube.com/@CrocsRunningFamily
      His son recently ran HM in 1:06 in Crocs.

    This came up randomly for me, shocked at the view count and have 0 doubts on it sky rocketing. Fair bloody play for not only sub 3 but for a WR. Running is a sport with so many avenues, in your case a history of high level competition and when that gets taken away its hard, the fact you have managed to claim something you sought after in a record, is truly inspiring

The worst time of my life but also the best.
