Wow, amazing run 🏃♂️. Perfect execution. I always love watching people hit their running goals. Side note, it's awesome that your wife is out there supporting you. I always love it when my wife and friends come out to cheer.
Massive congratulations 👏 What an epic memory you’ve created there! You paced that to perfection - looked like you had just enough left in the tank to speed up in the last few km. I’m going to be aiming for sub 3:15 this year and then if I can keep it together, head for the 3 hour mark myself one day😬
Sub 3 is the final goal. I am 43 and started running again after 15 years zero exercise..I am hoping by 45 I will be close to sub 3 😁. Well done man!! Amazing
Well done and good to say hello at the airport. I had my GoPro in my back pocket but never had the energy to get it out. Not sure if I am imagining it but a few minutes ahead of me (I did 2:59:52 on chip - phew!) there seemed a bit more space. That said I never really felt I had to chop my stride or anything. Yeah that walk back seemed a long way but was good to chat to a few runners. What next for you?
Yes indeed, quite a hassle to get out the camera every 5k but worth it for race video :) Thank god for chip time (we only realised afterwards), super happy for you!
Thanks for your message Liz! Glad you liked the video! I'm normally not the type to do that to be honest but I was so overcome with emotion at the end of the race (I couldn't believe it!). Do you have any races coming up?
@@quintvanbeek I run as a guide for a visually impaired friend I live in Glasgow Scotland and I love running... My furthest run has been a half marathon but my favourite distance is 10 miles... Im not fast at all I just like to finish line no matter the time... We are going to London in April for the marathon to spectate and we can't wait....i have a habit of shouting at most races I run and people mostly like it....😂#keeponkeepingon... 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️x
@@lizgreen2936 Thats really cool! The first time I saw visually impaired people was last year in Nijmegen zevenheuvelenloop (a really cool 15k race - highly recommended!) they're really inspirational! One day I'll get into London Marathon 😅
Thanks for your comment! I've been 6 days not running just enjoying the aftermath but so eager to get back to training now! Are you preparing for a marathon?
@@quintvanbeek just take it easy for 2-3 weeks before you start up your running training again.. let the body recover well so that you avoid injuries .. do some alternative training with a low heart rate. I gona try marathon this year but am not fast anymore .. I start training running again in 2020 after 12 years of from all tunning. before that I ran 12 times sub 2.20 .. my pb 2.16 .
Thanks for your comment Chris! Looking back at the race I was actually very calm before the race (not usual for me) In fact I managed to get around 7 hours of sleep the night before which just shows I was calm, normally I don't sleep at all the night before the race. It felt pretty easy until about halfway (which I guess is how marathon pace should feel), the last 10k really hurt 😅 I just saw your marathon video! Whats next for you?
Congratulations on a great run Quint! I followed some of your build up videos as I was aiming for a similar time myself. Didn't see you out on the course but we finished within one second of each other so did see a few clips of myself in this footage 😃
Thanks for your comment Danny! Yeah it was a hassle to carry the camera along the way but worth it for the video! Looking forward to seeing what you will do next! I might also give triathlon a go!
@@quintvanbeek No problem mate. have subbed you as well. I will transition back now to specific triathlon training. Probably do a half marathon tho in a few weeks. Give triathlon a go - a lot more to think about and train for but it's a great sport. I wish I could concentrate fully on running as think i could get reasonably quick, but I do like the challenge and variation in triathlon!
Fantastic run Quint, congratulations on your 2:55! Great race video! And no time wasted in preparation either - massage gun action while in transit to Sevilla : - 0
@@quintvanbeek if it took you as long as 24hrs to get there - it's almost as long as it would've taken me to get from Melbourne Australia to Sevilla Spain! I look forward to your next race and preparation.
Great running Quint and well done on smashing your goal. You being in Malaga reminded me of my Malaga Marathon, such a beautiful place! What next for you? 🤔
Thanks Poet! Would you recommend the Malaga marathon? I haven't heard much about it. Next up some shorter stuff 5-10k, hopefully a sub 1:21 half attempt and then a fall marathon! How is your preparation for London marathon going?
@@quintvanbeek Malaga is brilliant as such a lovely city. Much lower key that the two bigger ones in Spain, but in mid-December which you can combine with Christmas tourism? HM on same day if you want shorter race. London is going well, but then only 4 weeks into a 12 week plan.
Hey Lalo, This will appear if you add your race in the garmin race calendar via the garmin website on your desktop. Afaik only certain models offer this function tho, I'm using the forerunner 955. Which marathon are you preparing for?
@@Lalo_Runs yes that’s right but that’s only in 2024. We’re planning on coming to the the US at the end of the year so CIM seemed like a good idea to do whilst we are there :)
I’m running this on Sunday! Are you allowed to wear headphones? Rules say they’re not allowed but I see loads of people in this vid wearing them? Many thanks!
Thanks Mark! It was just over 80km (wanted to go higher but niggles meant I had to do less) with about 2hrs of cross training. Are you also training for a marathon?
@@quintvanbeek awesome. Yep I am running my first marathon this year which is NYC in November. Been running for a few years but never tackled the marathon yet. I can totally relate to the niggles and injuries after doing a certain amount of mileage (usually over 45 miles for me). But I have been spending a lot of time base building over the past few months and trying to build my mileage gradually. When I start my official marathon training I will probably cap the mileage at around 50-55 and incorporate some cross training as I am terrified of getting injured again lol. I used to do triathlon so I still have my bike and indoor trainer which is nice source of cross training for me. Can put on some music or watch some vids and just peddle away for an hour or so inside.

Totally crushed it my guy 🎉 - I could feel your pain! Hope to emulate your effort this Sunday. 🤞🏻
Thanks Chris! You got this, give it your all, leave nothing out there!
Congrats Quint. Mega effort👏👏
Thank you Olly! Are you training for anything specific at the moment?
@@quintvanbeek yes mate, London Marathon in April 👌

Outstanding race!! Inspiring
Thanks for your reply James! Are you training for any races?
@@quintvanbeek yes Boston. I live very nearby. Hoping for a course PB, sub 3:17. I’m still chasing sub 3:00. Currently at 3:03

Sounds like a good plan! Best of luck 😊
Well done - great performance!

Wow that’s a crazy comparison Bartek, if I had known that I wouldn’t have done it this way. Thanks Chris for your support over the last few videos :)
Really like your videos and wondering what is the next goal
I enjoyed that - I was just behind yourself - 2:58 - was hoping I might see myself in the video 🤣
Congratulations on the PB

@@quintvanbeek yes a 5 minute PB for me 😃
Vlog is really nice
Congrats for sub 3,sub 2.45 nxt 💪
