#brightonmarathon
Well done for getting round Chris. Given you're easily a sub-20 5K runner, I don't think your quicker than intended early miles were the problem - slightly fast but your body should be able to handle that.. The splits show you ran well to 18-miles and then hit new territory that your lack of training couldn't handle. No shame in that - your current lifestyle isn't sympathetic to your goals. There are many people who would be happy with a sub 4hr marathon and you'll be back👍
Thanks Hugh, appreciate your comment. I think I’ll stick with 5-10k’s. With my new job I think I’ve found my purpose, it’s so rewarding. With the lighter nights I’ll definitely be able to get out there more. How’s your training going?
@@ThatRunningGuy I'm looking forward to a spring of faster work after a solid winter of endurance training.
Well done SIr - your run had benefit for many people and that's the real value! Keep pushing!
Thanks Paul 👊
I actually feature in the back of one of your clips. Saw you make the most of the experience and enjoy it which is the main thing. It was my first marathon and I managed 3:25 so feeling pretty pleased and especially sore now! Like you said, raising money for charity is the most important thing, top work
Fantastic run for you first marathon Toby, pleased for you. Well done 👊
Well done dude!!!! the marathon is not easy however you got it done. I'm proud of you. Keep run Dancing...LOL
👊 Thanks David. Just need the moves 🤣
Hi Chris - it was tough out there. I went for 3:35, finished in 3:49. The wind, hills and sun at the end took its toll. Finishing any marathon is something to be proud of, well done mate 🏅🍺
Well done to you too 👊 The atmosphere and crowds were amazing
Well done on pushing through to the finish. I found the switch from freezing start to quite hot finish took a bit out of me today. Finished in 3:53 which I was really chuffed with having DNF’d in 2021, and having narrowly missed a sub-4 in another race in 2022.
Well done Nick, pleased for you. Was tough out there with the hills and wind in places
Nice one Chris, good to hear your reflections on the race. Was keeping an eye out for you but didn't see you out there. Well done for battling through despite the aches and doing it for a great cause
Thanks mate. Can’t wait now but definitely worth it
Well done Chris. Kudos to you mate! Outstanding effort given your training programme. Sounds like you enjoyed it too. Bring on Summer...Cheers! Phil
Thanks Phil👍 Definitely! In the UK we are still waiting for the Spring, it’s been more like autumn
@@ThatRunningGuy G'day Chris. I look forward to what you get up to next. Really enjoyed your Marathon footage. A great day!
Congratulations on your finish Chris! I ran a 1/2 marathon and did not have a good day either. It is what it is, as we say here in the US, and next time it will be better
I don’t know about next time 🤣 Sorry to hear your race didn’t go to plan Suzie
Really enjoyed your video, I think I saw you I was around 3:49, well done for pushing through and with limited training as well.
Thanks Terry. Well done on your run today
I ran the Great Welsh Marathon today in 3:27:30. Was looking for sub 3:30 so I’m really pleased with that. Glad you managed to complete the marathon with a smile on your face and continued to support your charity.
Well done Dave, pleased for you.
🎊BRAVO Dave!!!! 🎉 Impressive!!!
BRAVO Chris … now you’ve given me a future goal ‘cause I must admit I’m kinda jealous that you can do such a “relaxed fun” marathon, stopping to chat and get hugs along the way and STILL do well under 4h!!!! I sincerely hope to be there one day myself!! I am absolutely shattered trying to get 4h at the Paris marathon yesterday… 4:01:28!!! Lots of dry vomiting right after the finish line !! Unfortunately it was sooooo crowded with many many bottlenecks , dodging and weaving and running into people and getting run into, especially the 2nd half and not far from the end we were basically walking through a huge runner jam !! 🤷🏻♀️ Absolutely exhausting and energy sapping!! Voilà!! But I still got a 5min PB!!! And a 29min course PB!!! 😃🥰💪🏻🏃🏻♀️💪🏻 Next time I’ll smash that 4h and you your 3h30!!!! 🙋🏻♀️
Well done on smashing your PB that’s amazing. Pleased for you and you should feel proud getting so close to your target. I’m 100% sure you’ll get it next time. For me from 18 miles it definitely wasn’t fun but tried to make the most of it. Those hugs, humour and the atmosphere really helped. Going forward I’m going to just stick to 5-10k’s as my heart just isn’t in the longer distances. But WE should feel proud…WE RUN A MARATHON!
@@ThatRunningGuy Ohh THANK YOU SO MUCH!!😁 I'm the opposite, I constantly want more volume, longer distances, but I certainly did NOT feel that way during those last killer 12km yesterday, noooooo way!!! I used a little trick from Paul the DevRunner who said during his livestream last week with one of his coaching clients, when you feel you can't, that it's impossible, just speed up for a moment, give yourself a little burst of speed!!! Wow!!! THAT worked a treat!!! One of the most useful things I've ever heard!!! Every time my brain started to think it's impossible, which it absolutely WAS, I just sped up a little!! It's just incredible how much more we are capable of than we think or feel!!!!
Amazing time Bev! Keep pushing - you are right there for a sub 4!
@@DevRunner THANKS Paul!!! YES, one day I tooooo will run relaxed getting hugs along the way and STILL do under 4hours!!! 😆😆
Well bloody done. Brilliant 😊
Thank you, appreciate it
Well done Chris. You ran a marathon without training the way you'd have wanted to and you finished it even when the wheels came off. That takes something. Hope your hip isn't too bad and you can recover quickly.
Thanks Chris. You definitely made the right decision. Got 2 weeks off work now (half term).
Well done Chris! Ran yesterday as well 3.43.99, was aiming for 3.45, had the same problem with my hips and then at mile 20 got a stitch I couldnt recover from otherwise would have been 3.30, loved every minute of it for my first time!
First time 😳 that’s amazing Russell. Pleased that you achieved your target, well done. From 18 miles onwards the marathon is just a ticking time bomb!
@@ThatRunningGuy I was targeting 8.30 per mile went off at around 8.06 and thought I’d better slow down but after doing that for 19/20 miles I thought great I’ll carry on, then got the stitch and that just blew it, last 10k was hell. Think I need to evaluate my footwear for next time to avoid the pain in my hips
@@russellandrews1321 sounds like our stories are very similar
@@ThatRunningGuy 🤣🤣 any advice? Being in my 40’s aswell I don’t fancy an early hip replacement
@@russellandrews1321 I’d probably go with my Saucony Endorphin Pro’s if I was to run it again…which is not going to happen! Going to stick with 5-10k’s
My sons and I were shouting out runners names! Loved giving encouragement!! We had a competition of how many runners waved or commented back to us! Think we shouted for you! Well done! Amazing running.
Thank you so much for doing that, it REALLY helps. The atmosphere was amazing
Great effort Chris, well done👊
Cheers Keri. I hope your new job is going well
Was great to meet and run alongside you Chris! Thanks for the tips and conversation during the race. It made my first marathon/race even more memorable.
Managed to cross the finish line with a time of 3:23:19. Glad to hear you made it. I know those aches and pains started early. Congratulations and thanks again!
Glad you left a message Ash, was awesome to meet you and share the 1st 17 miles with you. Amazing time, really pleased for you…you absolutely smashed it 👊
Thanks for the donation Ash, appreciate it 👊 Glad I did hold you back, really strong finish
Well done Chris. You've completed a marathon, raised money and still got a smile on your face. Pretty successful day well done!
Thanks, very true. My body doesn’t agree today 🤣
Well done Chris. We’ve all been there mate especially when training hasn’t quite gone to plan but a respectable time still buddy and for a good cause! Looks like you enjoyed it still. I thought you was gonna say 3.20 then and even had time to stop and dance 😂. Well done mate
Thanks mate. If I run a 3:20 I definitely would not of been stopping for hugs and dancing
To complete a marathon with the amount of training you've done shows incredible strength. Well done on grinding it out. Definitely looked windy and gross out there.
Thanks mate, appreciate it 👊
Also did Brighton today. Due to lack of preparation and recent injury I started conservatively, but faster than planned. Today I managed to stick to a consistent pace throughout and finish faster than the pacer I originally planned to follow. To me, it is important to find the right pace I can maintain the whole race, as I don’t handle fluctuating pace so well and prefer just to go on cruise control 👍
You run amazing today Soren. I think I’m definitely going to stick to 5-10k’s from here.
@@ThatRunningGuy Well, you know you already are a very fast 5k and 10k runner. HM and MA are different challenges, where especially on MA’s you learn a lot each time. As a born sprinter, you probably by instinct start out too fast. More frequent experiences with longer distances will quickly help you plan (and stick to plan) such races better. Surely, you will be able to do sub 3:15 if you up mileage and throw in some 20 milers now and then to get comfortable with distances.
Well done great effort 🎉
Cheers Des👍
Many competitive runners would be tempted to DNF, but you bravely toughed it out and delivered for charity and still achieved a time many people would envy.
I ran the South Downs trail half marathon in miserable conditions. Freezing cold, wet, muddy and treacherously slippery. Still managed to finish. Not a fun experience 😮 👍😎
Thanks Paul for your comment. Well done on your finish. 1 DNF can lead to many!
Well done Chris. Another marathon done. You had good support from your family too.
Thanks Kathy. They’re all amazing. The crowd support was also awesome.
Nice one Chris!
Cheers 👊
Well done Chris you did it and still did amazing and raised lots of money 🙂
Thanks👊 I hope all is well with you
Well done Chris, great job. Good to see you today on Church Road. 👍💪👏😃🏅
Cheers Ben, thanks for your support. For a split second I woke up this morning and thought, why do my legs hurt! Lucky that I’ve got 2 weeks off (half term)
@@ThatRunningGuy haha. I know that feeling. Enjoy your break 👍
Marathons are no joke Chris, 26miles, 42km, well done. You'll get a good result one day, I'm sure, and good video thanks. Manchester for me next, less that 2 weeks now 😀
Best of luck 👊 I’m sure you’ll smash it. Marathons, just a ticking time bomb from 18 miles
Well done Chris any marathon is a fantastic achievement and to break 4 hrs when it wasn’t your day with injuries is tremendous..interesting comment about the Mizuno shoes I ran my first run in them at the weekend and it was only 6 miles the pace was great but my thighs are in pieces today which I never normally have much thigh pain
Thanks Paul. There’s no question that the Mizuno’s are fast BUT that comes at a price. Going forward May just use them as a 5k race shoe. Plus will start strengthening my thighs
Well done Chris still a great time for the marathon 👍 🏃♀️🏅
Thanks Brian 👊
Well done pal, looks like you enjoyed the day and that's what it's all about.
Thanks 👊 Very true and to top it off raised some money for charity
Great job finishing the marathon in a good time & doing it for a awesome charity, really finishing any marathon under 4 hours Is soothing to be proud of, I’m guessing you’ll be back to run many more marathons, cheeeers!! Onwards & upwards 🌲👏🏃🏽♂️🍀✅🥳🙏🌿👍🏼👊🏼
Thank you. Definitely my last marathon, my hearts just not in the longer distances. Going to stick with 5-10k’s
@@ThatRunningGuy good on you Chris, be interesting to follow along your future running series to see how focusing on the 5k & 10k go, cool, I kind of have a feeling it won’t be your last marathon, good luck with with the running ✅👏🌿🏃🏽♂️🥳🍀👍🏼
Top job, Chris, I definitely felt it was a tougher course than last year! It was great meeting you briefly at the start!
Cheers. Great to meet you Sam. How did you get on?
@@ThatRunningGuy came in at 3:10:47 which I was really chuffed with!
@@RunMayes amazing, pleased for you Sam
Also ran Brighton yesterday and was aiming for a PB (previously 4:12:36) and maybe even a push for sub-4. The race went pretty well for me up until the final 2-3 miles where I really started to struggle but even with 2k to go there was a chance of sneaking in under 4 hours. Unfortunately my legs just completely deserted me in the final 800 metres and I walked twice. Just couldn’t summon the energy for any kind of finish. Completed it in 4:01:40 - still a huge PB but slightly disappointed I couldn’t get that sub 4
An amazing run Dan and you should feel proud. You run a PB 👊 The marathon is a cruel beast, one minute feel ok and then the next the wheels just fall off! I’m sure you’ll smash your target next time
Well done for gritting it out and being brave enough to run in those Mizuno's Chris despite not having the best training. You can definitely go quicker than you have done previously with a bit of luck and nailing your training. Thanks for the interesting report 👍
Thanks Mark. From now on I’m going to stick to 5-10k’s! Would definitely recommend the Mizuno’s up to 10k. I just feel that if you need to be running fast or the don’t really work.
@@ThatRunningGuy That would be a shame as you are a similar pace and age to myself and you could definitely go Sub 3:15 and maybe even Sub 3:10 if you got everything right on a Marathon. That's easier said than done though (the beauty of Marathon running over the other distances is the unknown of what will happen to the body after 2 hours of running reasonably hard). I understand that it's a huge commitment to keep Marathon training going year in year out though.
I rolled my ankle on a late LR in the Mizuno's stepping to the side of the road for an impatient driver last night.
Hoping that I haven't messed things up for Copenhagen Marathon 🇩🇰 when I have invested a lot of money into it, have holiday and flights all booked (and some of it paid for). Things were going well in training for me with my most important 3 weeks coming up. Marathons and Marathon training can be so cruel but there's not much better than smashing a PB in one.
@@MarkSmith_Best-Athletics Nooooo!!🤞 Best of luck Mark
Top effort Chris. Good to talk to you on the start line. I have a feeling your marathon journey won't end here... It'll cost you £50 but you'll be back...
Cheers Philip. Great to meet you. Just a shame that the pacer went to the loo and left me in no man’s land. How did you get on?
@@ThatRunningGuy I managed 3:39:33 in the end... managed to grind it out but I think overall the time was a fair reflection of where my fitness was on the day...
@@philipsmyth8186 Well done for grinding it out👊 You just never no with a marathon. One minute alls ok and the next 🤪
Great time under the circumstances . Well done 👏
Thanks Tim👊
Great job all round mate, looked like you made the most of it 👍🏼
Cheers mate
That last 10k or so sounded gruelling. Well done on getting over the line and making some juicy 💰for charity. 👏🙌
It was, but there’s definitely no point in giving up once you’ve run 20 miles! Sometimes you’ve just got to make the most of a situation, humour helped
Well done mate u done really well 🎉🎉
Cheers 👊
Well done Chris! I know you had a target in mind, but I honestly don't think you're too far away from that. A little more volume and maybe some strength work and I'm certain there's a 3:30 in there. I raced a Sheffield Half last weekend and the conditions on my run today felt much tougher. A strange mixture of warm sun and a cold wind, which will have been amplified on the south coast. Put your feet up and get some well deserved rest 🏅👍
Cheers Steven. To be honest I’m done with marathons and going to stick with 5-10k’s. Lucky I’ve got 2 weeks off now (half term).
@@ThatRunningGuy I don't blame you to be honest. I've never done one and I'm in no rush to do so. The faster stuff is much more fun 😄Enjoy the Easter break!
Well done and nice seeing today
Well done for helping out today Chris
Tough one Chris. Kudos for finishing.
Thanks Bob
Well done! Looked tough, great mental resilience to push though 💪
Thanks mate. So lucky it was raining!
Kudos for getting it done despite your lack of mileage and training.
Cheers 👊
Well done.
Thanks
26.3? That's an ultra! :)
🤣 You’re right!
@@ThatRunningGuy Congrats in doing the race! :)
Great job!
Thank you
You finished ,,,weldone
@@andrewforsyth4799 cheers 👊
I’ve heard the Brighton marathon is very tough up and down hills
Definitely tough on those parts, especially without the crowds there
