- Experience the full London Marathon 2023 from a first time marathoner. This really is a special marathon that I wish everyone could experience!
My full race day vlog from the TCS London Marathon 2023. A special day I'll certainly never forget.
6 weeks until my first marathon, I needed to see this! Thanks for putting it out there, it's inspiring!
So welcome and so glad it was helpful!
I hope your training is all going well and good luck on the day! Enjoy the whole experience :)
8 weeks for mine, and I'm super happy to see have come across your video, positive vibes all around and that's what we need in this world
I was lucky enough to get a spot last year too through lottery & got emotional remembering it as I had dedicated to my father who passed August 2022. I was hoping under 5 but just missed 5:03. Crowds were epic. Congratulations well done.
This has me pumped but also captured the effort and emotion in doing a marathon. Thanks for sharing bro! ❤
Thank you bro! Can't wait to hear about your run!!!
ive just stumbled across your marathon video. what an emotion you went through near the end and at the finish line. running gets people in so many different way. well done on your amazing time
Thanks so much Bradley! It was a pretty special day, going to be hard to top now haha I think that’s the special thing about running though, especially the marathon distance. For many just to be there can be such a journey! Thanks for checking out the vid ✌🏼
Great work. You really captured how hard you were working near the end of the race! I’m trying to watch as many London Marathon videos as I can. I’ll be there for 2024!
Great vlog. Very emotional at the end. Great time. You will never do anything as hard or as rewarding as the marathon. Physically and emotionally it takes all youve got. London is an amazing event. I was running too ( back again this year for my 9th London ).
Excellent effort - I have run London 14 times and it is always amazing - for my part I was in the Mall this year volunteering at one of the baggage buses - good to give something back to the sport I love!
Thanks so much Martin! And congratulations to you as well, 14 is an amazing effort - I will surely be back one day! Thank you for your volunteering effort as well. All the volunteers were just amazing, definitely help make it such a special event :)
Sooo inspiring xx
Thank youu!
Love this TK - it just popped up in my feed today. I ran my first London Marathon this year. You captured all the joy and pain just as I remember it. And a great time too. Respect
Thanks so much! And a big congrats on getting through your first London Marathon 🙌 It was so great to be a part of it, hope to get back one day!
amazing video... very emotional.
Amazing!!!!!!!.
I've tried severally to get into London & had visa issues as well but I will be there on April 21st 2024 by God's grace to finally get this feeling in person after running London virtually thrice 🥲.
I can't wait... Even if it'll be just 6/7 days after my Rotterdam marathon.
Thanks for capturing the emotions in this manner
Comment from Chicago! Awesome job! Remember that the marathon is a life long journey of incremental wins. Time to take the lessons you learned from this race and tweak your training to crush your next goal. You got it!
Thanks so much man! Really appreciate that and some really great advice. Hope to make it to Chicago one day ✌🏼
LOVE THIS ❤️
ill be running my first ever marathon this coming dec. 3 here in Singapore. I needed this so bad. thank you for sharing and documenting your experience. you empower me and get back to my training. /respect.
You're so welcome, glad it had that effect! Wishing you all the best for December, hope the training is going well! 😁
Great video! Having run London for the first time this year, it brought all the memories and all the emotion of such a great day back to me. Superb effort 👌
Thanks so much! Congrats on doing London, what a special experience it was! So glad you could also relive some of it 🙌
Love this video! Have just dropped you an email about using it if possible in this year's TV coverage on the BBC of the event. Would be great to hear back from you as soon as you can. Thanks so much!

Oh man, you did an amazing job. Brilliant. I got goosebumps while watching you.
Thanks so much for that! I’m so glad I documented it, it’s so nice to be able to watch it back.
Well done, awesome race and captured the emotion.
Thanks so much, really appreciate that!
well done mate, great to watch. You captured it well and brought back great memories! (I ran Manchester and London, 7 days apart! )
Thanks so much mate, such a great experience! Wow what an effort, how was the body 7 days after? I met someone who had also just ran Boston then London 6 days later, you're both incredible!
@@RunningWithTK body pulled up ok mate. I had an easy week in between. Followed by a few days in London with my wife before we returned to Perth 🙂 (I spotted the Aussie passport on the clip!)
You gave your all and that to me is how I wish I ran all my races! Congratulations with your time but the worst feeling is having energy left at the end of race! 👍
Really appreciate that Mark! For me the lungs wanted to go a bit harder but the legs just didn't have it in them. Thanks for watching ✌️
well done, London Marathin is brutally amazing, great effort
Thank you so much! Such a special experience, feel very lucky to take part in it!
Amazing video - well done 👍
Thanks so much for that!
Congratulations Sir, This has motivated me. That's the extra miles after the marathon you didn't thing you would do, but you're doing them. Keep going.
Thanks so much! Glad it had that effect :)
I did VLM 19, ran every step and loved it. Virtual in 20 and London again in 21. I hit the wall in that one, 19/20 miles and legs felt like lead after I ran the start too fast. 33 years (and counting) as a soldier and finishing that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The pain is very much real! Well done, amazing effort and a great vid.
I’ll be back on the start line in April (running for the Wooden Spoon Society), probably my last marathon and the first as a fifty year old! Maybe see you there?!
Must add, all three much slower than you! 😂
Thanks so much for checking out the vid! That's such an awesome effort. I always hear a marathon starts at 30km and for me even in training and current training for another marathon - after 30km is always when the legs gradually start to go! It's also so easy to start out too quickly, especially in such a big race environment like London!
I would love to be back in London in April but unfortunately not next year. I have a few other marathons planned though! Best of luck with London next year, above all enjoy it! Such a great experience to be a part of.
Great effort 👏🏻
Thanks a lot 😊
Incredible video
Thanks so much for that!
legend!!
Thank you dude! ❤️
Running can make you so emotional and that's the beauty of the sport. I ran the 10 miles of Antwerp this year for the first time without any good training. The race itself was pretty heavy and a real struggle to keep pushing. I eventually made it and i also got so emotional at the finish when i saw my girlfriend standing there. And now i have falen in love with this sport. ❤
That’s such a great story! It really can have such a great impact on your life, I’m so happy it’s something I’ve got myself into and it’s definitely had a huge impact on me. Loving hearing others stories too. Thanks for checking out the video ❤️
hey TK - did you get my message about using this video as part of the BBC TV coverage of the event this year? thanks so much! would love to use if we can. Phil
I never ran below 4 hours in my life. Wish to do once in my life time.
Doing london next April for my first full. Done a few halfs around 01:38 so hoping to go sub 3:30, out of interest dude what was your half pace going in to your 3:30 attempt?
Thanks for a cool video! Could really see how much you dug deep and enjoyed it
Thanks so much and all the best of luck next April! I think you'll do great if you've built up the distance nicely from those half marathon times.
I think in London I split just under 1:45 at halfway. I was pretty much right on 5min/km up until 30km but then started to fall off a bit!
How long off after the marathon did you need/take did you come out with any injuries? Good man great effort
Thanks so much Simon! The legs were pretty sore for the next few days, but I spent a lot of time walking all over London in the following week! Other than that I think I recovered quite quickly, maybe all the walking actually helped :)
Amazing, i found out today i got in via the ballot for 2024. London will be my first ever marathon
That's amazing! Congrats on getting your entry and good luck with your training :) enjoy the entire experience!
Excellent well done 👍
I just got my spot for next year through a charity.
It will be my first Marathon.

Thanks so much! Awww that's amazing, good luck with the training and enjoy the experience!
