I Ran a Boston Qualifying Time at The 2023 Berlin Marathon

The 2023 Berlin Marathon was my 9th Marathon this year, my 4th World Major, and my first International Marathon. I even met the GOAT himself, First place finisher, Eliud Kipchoge.

[@williamsmith1451]

"LETS GO!" That phrase gets me going everytime I hear you say that, keep it up my man!

[@Francisco-dl1nb]

only thing that hits harder is Tom Brady saying lets fucking go pre game

[@big_chief710]

I want to complete a marathon one day 🙌🏽 You’ve inspired me to run this year! And I competed in 4 5Ks and run every morning now 🎉

[@JohnBirtchetSharpe]

That last 8km was very good, it's when your positive attitude pays dividends to the people you pace.

[@DAMIANO.]

You are so positive and inspiring MAN. I hope one day I'll run my first marathon.

[@o_0malik]

This was so motivating! I was feeling sore from an 8k run yesterday, and now I’m ready to go again! Thanks!

[@quinnjames3743]

[@phamtastic1606]

Congrats on finishing the full Berlin marathon, "STAY HARD"

[@rddcruz]

That run looks amazing! awesome video!

[@allanholder1018]

I like your positive energy. Congrats to your friend on her BQ. I also ran Berlin 2023. I hit a pb, but only by 51 seconds. Later in the evening I went to the afterparty where the marathon winners made an appearance and gave a few speeches. People went wild when Eliud Kipchoge started signing autographs. Security got him out of there real quick and he only managed about 5 autographs. I was one of the 5 lucky people to get one. He signed my custom made Berlin Marathon jacket. He looked surprised when he saw it as it was blinged up to the max. He wrote a huge signature across the leather arm. That made my day. I have now returned to Canada. I have much to work on to get to my max. Next year is the 50th anniversary of the Berlin Marathon. I will be there and hopefully you will too as your video is an inspiration. "Let's Go!!!".

[@loydjoaquin8587]

Let’s go!!! Because of you I wanna run my first half marathon, marathon, ultra, and now a international marathon and make a trip out of it

[@gabereid8267]

Well done. What a great event and race environment

[@big_chief710]

Great Job!! Let’s go

[@HenryJWade]

So good to see you brother. You crushed it!

[@bridana111]

Congratulations! I had hoped to run a Boston qualifying time at the Twin Cities Marathon on Sunday, but they canceled it due to the heat. Being from Central Florida it felt amazing outside and I didn't understand it. I'm going to try again at the Sarasota Marathon in January.

[@jmbaug1229]

The vibe in Berlin absolutely incredible 💫

[@SRtalks2255]

You are my inspiration ❤

[@patrickbateman161]

So awesome! Congrats to your friend. I’m shootings for 3:25 at the St George marathon this Saturday!

[@Professor5180]

5:46 damn!

[@MiloSteinhauer]

Honestly if you were pacing me I feel like I'd definitely qualify for Boston! I'm training for a 2:53 to hopefully get into Boston 2025! Lowkey worried about that cut-off time but time to get after it!

[@jassaljs]

🤗Congratulations🤗Just wow🤗

[@jakjenkins3416]

Are you thinking about doing the London Marathon April?

[@sheenaboone2054]

What is the best way to qualify for this marathon? I want to do the majors.

[@qwerty09384]

Return of the e-bike man

[@user-nb6jh1eg4x]

Bandit Running hat 🤙🤙

[@big_chief710]

What’s up with the medals? Seen it said 2020 and yours and hers are different

[@YounesBerrada01]

How much do you weight ?

[@Demiduivenvoorden]

THIS WEEKEND WAS ELECTRIC

[@toppatop41]

Which pair of new balance was that ??

[@NubeGuySai]

Nice job hitting sub-3 30

[@benjtv7897]

who are thos girls @?

[@Guyinhisvan]

So with the 5:29 cutoff she didn’t get in

[@illawgical]

The deadline for the 2024 Boston marathon was sept 15. This Berlin time is probably for the 2025 Boston marathon. That being said we won’t know what the cutoff will be until next sept.

[@Guyinhisvan]

@@illawgical oh yeah that makes sense

[@RunForFunFun]

@@illawgical It may even be harder, given all the super shoes coming out and more people are interested in marathon

[@illawgical]

@@RunForFunFunYeah I anticipate that the BAA will change the qualifying standard by 5 mins for 2025. This cutoff mess is ridiculous.

[@jayivan5569]

he was a more of a hype-man than a pacer. still good though. that gives people around him enegery

[@thefit-family]

No you didn’t

[@vicleyson]

Qualified for Boston?

[@escamunicha4276]

I don't think its him that needs to qualify, he said he's pacing for a friend. He might already be qualified

[@electro90]

He was pacing for a friend lol

[@Rob23x]

She did he didn’t, it wasn’t for him

[@gllee72]

the math doesnt math...you would've needed a sub 3 to BQ. you were short by over 35 minutes. why lie?

[@Rob23x]

It’s for woman’s not men look it up

[@Legoshi_Vue]

🤦‍♂️

[@ella-hope-222]

Boston qualifying time for women (18-34) is 3h30m
