    Hannah, I would recommend Matsumoto marathon if you are looking for another challenge this year. Completed it back in 2019. Less crowds and gorgeous scenery which I am sure the viewers will appreciate!

    Mad respect! I have ran about 25 Half’s and I did one Full for my 40th birthday ten years ago (I can no longer run anymore due to Spinal Fusion and Severe Disc Degeneration) but the conditions were less than ideal for my one and only Full but I pushed through. You are in fabulous shape to be able to speak and run at the same time and awesome you had a running partner/boyfriend that can keep up with you. Very special ❤ Congrats to you both!

    i've never run a marathon because i always thought i'd get terribly bored halfway through, but you made it look actually fun hahaha also doing it in ~scenic Japan~ probably helps. do they have more rural courses, though? because that would be pretty gorgeous (as long as they let you run along the shoreline or in the valleys, LOL)

    Congrats to your PB, Hannah! You should try out the Shonan Marathon in December, nice scenery with Mt.

    I'm a bit late to this but I also ran the Osaka marathon this year. I had so much fun eating on the course that when I got back to Sydney, I googled 'food marathon Japan' and found the Tohoku Food half marathon which was held a few weeks ago. It's about 1hr outside of Sendai. I flew back to Japan just for that race. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun run with food involved. Probably the easiest 21kms that I've ever done, since the race was broken up every 2kms with food.
    If you're looking for a very beautiful scenic run, also highly recommend the Mt Fuji Marathon. It's a very flat race around the two lakes bar one steep uphill section. Autumn leaves, blue sky and Mt Fuji in front of you, it's such a memorable race.

    • @CurrentlyHannah
      @CurrentlyHannah  Před 25 dny +1

Ladies were lucky to be able to change indoors. I was in corral B, and even so it was very congested during the first 5K. It also started pouring again around the mid point. All in all, a very difficult race, but I am glad we made it safely. 😊

    I did my first ever half marathon last year. I would like to try a whole sometime, but I really struggle with the time commitment for the training. Training for the half started to get pretty difficult for me to squeeze in, since the training runs get longer and longer, and eventually you're looking at a good six or more hours a week of running. Maybe if I can get myself together and feeling a little less busy, I'll go for the full marathon. XD
