The HARDEST run of my life - London Marathon 2024

- čas přidán 20. 05. 2024
- After a 16 week training block I took on my 3rd London Marathon and my 3rd marathon in 18 months.
The 'A' goal was always sub 3:45, but with a less than ideal lead up I was on the struggle bus very early on...
Huge thanks to MetaEndurnace for the Project London experience and the KIPRUN for my race gear.

How anyone can talk, carry a camera, and smile while running a marathon aaandddd get a PB is beyond me.
Congratulations! Thank you for taking us along your little stroll around London. I really do appreciate your making the effort in sharing with us your race experience with these videos.
Haha I think I would struggle more over a shorter distance with the filming and talking! To be honest it was a nice distraction at times!
Thanks very much for the support and for watching the videos 🙏🏻
Simples Tom 😉
Every finisher is a hero
Well done Maisie. Plenty of smiles throughout London and that final clip of you coming down steps giving flashbacks 😂
Thanks for watching Rob! Lots of smiles, definitely lots of grimacing not caught on camera! 😂 All good fun though eh!
Congratulations, smashed it 👌 Enjoy the recovery.
Thanks so much! Definitely making the most of it 🙏🏻👌🏼
A fast PB on the back of a two week sinus infection and no sleep and you STILL made it look effortless. The hardest part seemed to be getting down the stairs at the end. Congratulations on the PB AND defeating the stairs!
Haha thanks Gary! Definitely wasn’t effortless, but I’ll take it 😂👏🏻 and the stairs were definitely the worst bit! Thanks for watching 😀
Incredible run Maisie! Particularly coming off the back of illness, you certainly didn’t have the best lead up to London. Super inspiring 🧡
Thanks Vikki! It certainly wasn’t the ideal lead up 😂 but I am so glad I still got do it! Thanks so much for watching and supporting 🫶🏻
Congrats on the Pb, great time!
Thank you, really pleased! And thanks for watching 🫡
smashed it! congrats!
Thanks so much, much appreciated. And thanks for watching 👌🏼
wowww amazing ...
Thank you 😀
Congratulations! Amazing time and effort not long after your illness! Well done :)
Thanks so much! Was touch and go, but seriously pleased I managed to keep it together!
Great video and congratulations on the PB! I love the marathon and have a dream of a sub-4 (5 hour 40 mins is my current PB), I'm definitely going to run London next year.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting - really appreciate it! That’s awesome, my dream was always sub 4 as well, it blows my mind I got there, it took a few attempts and many years! London is just the best, hope you get to experience it 👌🏼🙏🏻
Congrats Maisie. Can you link your sunglasses ? Fab x ❤️
Thank so much! And thank you for watching 🙏🏻 They are Rayban, and not running sunglasses actually as they are prescription, but I actually quite like the style for running and they fit well so stay on. They are the ‘Wayfarer 2’ in tortoise 👌🏼
Well done Maisie. You actually look pretty good at the end -- I know you were saying how hard it was and all but from your form and everything you looked rock solid. Congrats on your race finish -- marathons simply never get easier. I've done a bunch of them and you just never know how they are going to go. It's been a while since I've done one but I'd love to do London some day (I live in the US though). Keep it up and I enjoyed your video.
Thanks Eddie - really appreciate your comments and thank you for watching. Externally I defiantly didn’t look to be struggling too much, I’ve done a lot of work on strength training the last 18 months which has definitely helped. The main issue I was having was really bad back/neck pain, which I’ve never had before and I think was more to the illness I had before the race. But you are so right, marathons never seem to get easier! London is just amazing and I really hope you get to experience it one day! Thanks again for your support 😁
Fantastic Maisie you deserved that PB xx
Thanks Debbie, so pleased to have got round and the PB was amazing! 👌🏼🙏🏻 Thank you for watching xx
Well done 👍🏽
Thank you and thanks for watching 👌🏼
Glückwunsch zum Zieleinlauf!
Danke schön! 😄
CZcams algorithm suggestion-->: What a surprise to see your lovely smile twice in two days. 👏🎬
Haha amazing! How funny is that! 👋🏻
PB after being poorly 🎉🎉 well done 💪 Loved the spot the Alphafly game 😂
Thanks so much! Haha funny isn’t it, I didn’t event capture it well, but there were so many! Thanks so much for watching and supporting 🙏🏻👌🏼
You won the mental battle.
Yes, it definitely felt like this on the day! Thank you for watching.
Well done Maisie! Hope you are enjoying your well deserved rest? 🎉
Thanks so much! Yes completely, I have had the most restful week ever and have absolutely LOVED IT! 😂 Although, I am looking forward to getting the running shoes on again soon 😃
@@maisie_runs no need to rush back Maisie! I took 10 days off from running off my marathon the other week, but it now feels good to be back! I’ve never tried Kiprun shoes and would take a lot to steer me away from Saucony and adidas
Congratulations on the PB. Just wondering what your max heart is?
Thank you! Honest answer here - I’m not completely sure. It has always been higher than the standard calculation, but I hadn’t seen it go above 200 for a good few years, but at one point in this race I saw 206! However, this was from a my Garmin without a HR chest strap, so I’ll take that with a pinch of salt. Although I can easily hit 190s in a tough interval session.
Well done! How's running with a camera? Does it make it worse or take your mind of the running?
Thanks Ben! It was fine, for this video I used the small insta 360 so it’s tiny and fit in my front pocket. In terms of actually filming it was quite good as gave me something else to focus on and tick down the distance. For a 3:53 run I only filmed a few minutes of footage so it feels pretty minimal overall 😀
My legs and Adios Pro 3 at @3:30 😂
Haha no way really, how on earth did you spot that, that’s so funny! 😂 You killed my ‘spot the vaporfly’ game with your Adios then 😂😂😂
@@maisie_runs yeah they’re not a common colourway and I spent an unreasonable amount of time in that queue 😂😂
What a flat route marathon? Lol try the Comrades Marathon. Over 1100m elevation and 87km
I’d love to one day 🙂
jesus christ the amount of alphaflys hahaahahahaha
Absolutely crazy isn’t it. I actually had a little laugh to myself 😂😂😂😂 - thanks for watching 👏🏻🙏🏻
well done. my friend dawn 32636 did the marathon first time 6 hrs 37 mins on ytube dawn evans London marathon winner
That’s amazing! Well done to Dawn, an amazing charity to run for too 🙏🏻
