  • Footage capturing just some of the sights and sounds of the New York City marathon 2022, from a (wave 5) runner's perspective.
    This was my first marathon attempt - an attempt to complete the world's largest marathon event (on what turned out to be one of the most humid November days in NY history), to mark my 50th birthday.
    Also my first attempt at more complex video editing (which may or may not be obvious!). I have tried to include as much of the original sound as possible, supplemented in places by music courtesy of www.bensound.com.

    I know it is nearly a year later, but well done you! I ran in wave five and it was brutal, especially considering I was focused so much on a cool weather run during all my brutal summer training runs. I ended up in the dark from 5th Avenue on, but the crowds were still there cheering through the park!

    I ran it in 1995, it was bitterly cold that year, +3*C from memory! I flew back to Heathrow from JFK on a Virgin Atlantic 747 two days later and it was snowing in New York, happy memories. I did 3hrs 20 mins 😊

    • @cathynewyork7918
      @cathynewyork7918 Před rokem

      There are a few other ways to get into the NYC Marathon, other than the lottery. Next year you could sign up for the Virtual NYC Marathon with Strava, in 2023, for guaranteed entry in 2024 -- but sign up right away as this option sells out quickly. You could also commit to raising funds for one of the charities that the NYC Marathon endorses, and get in that way; or you go the 9 plus one program, that is, run 9 NYRR races and then volunteer for one. If you take this option, be sure that the nine NYRR races that you run will count for earning NYC Marathon Guaranteed Entry, as not all their races will count. Only about 12% of lottery entrants get in that way, so you need to use one of these other options. Good luck.

    Congratulations Russ; a huge accomplishment! This was our daughter's first full marathon, starting along with you in Wave 5. Like you she finished around the 5 hour mark so chances are good you guys paced together! You did a fantastic job recording the journey. I am putting together a video for our family of the clips, pictures and snapshots of the tracking markers we captured as we followed her progress and of course her finish. With your permission I would like to include a few of your great captures of sights & sounds you passed along the way. Please let me know if that would be ok. Congratulations again on a great achievement and recording so well for posterity!

    I don't quite get it why people not ready still run a marathon (I see many walking on this video). To me it shows nothing but a lack of preparation. Why do a marathon for 6 hours? I probably can walk that fast. I trained for over a year for my first marathon, overall about three years now running, and ran a month ago for 3:18. I am 51

    • @FoxBox72
      @FoxBox72 Před rokem +2

      Well done on 3:18. You're right to feel proud of yourself for that. I think a factor on this day was the unexpected 90% humidity. I like to think most people trained; I know I certainly did, from c25k up to a few half marathons, then a 20 week marathon training plan. Everyone is different, and one thing I love about the running community is people are mostly very supportive of each other regardless of level of ability.

    • @alexanderdergay912
      @alexanderdergay912 Před rokem

      @@FoxBox72 I don't mean to sound unsupportive but from my experience meeting runners at different events shows that doing marathon unprepared is very hard both on physical level (injuries etc) and psychological. Many people dropped running after very hard experience and that's what I am mostly afraid of. Completing a marathon is a great accomplishment, but at the cost of not running then for many years or ever again? i wish there would be more warnings about this

      nice job on the 3:18. I think most people tend to think of a marathon as an abstract idea of a milestone or bucket list item that they need to do. Honestly, who cares how long it takes, the goal for some is finishing. The goal for others is finishing in 3:18. Many people consider even walking 26.2 miles all at once to be a great achievement and for them, it is. How would you like if Kipchoge came up to you and said...3:18, why even bother? Most people don't even show up for a race so i say kudos to those that did, prepared or not.
