🏃‍♂️ MARATHON RACE RECAP | 2nd Marathon PB (3:18:05) 

In this video, I’m sharing my full marathon race recap from my 2nd marathon, where I ran a new personal best (PB) of 3:18:05, beating my previous time by over 11 minutes.

This race had everything: an early 6:30AM start, insane race day energy, hydration vest drama at the start line, great pacing early on, and then the real battle began… cramps, quad pain, hamstring issues, and fueling problems in the final miles.

I went out conservative, tried to stay consistent, and focused on marathon pacing and race strategy. Even though I struggled with stomach issues and had to stop taking gels, I still fought through the pain and finished strong.

Huge shoutout to my fiancée and her family for being my support crew and keeping me fueled throughout the course.

If you’re into marathon training, running motivation, race day vlogs, and how to run a marathon, this one’s for you.
