Cheers Donato. Great video. That intro was pretty epic. Bill Withers would be proud of you. 😆🤣 What a beautiful, historic city. Looked like a really nice day, which helped. What building was that at 8:10? Alexander Platz? Not sure what that is but I'm not a film fan.

Alexander Platz is one of main squares in Berlin which is used in many spy movies. That building you mention is part of the main Berlin Central train station

@@PoetWithPace Cheers Donato. My 11th official sub 3 at Yorkshire Marathon time was a dream come true after having Covid and struggling to breathe on a run, 4 days earlier. Mainly doing crappy solo virtual marathons for foreseeable future. (In fact, I did another yesterday). Sadly, can’t book any big races and only ran Yorkshire as Harrogate Hospital gave me a charity place. I can however earn race credits at small events by volunteering and also do guide running. Just the way things are. Sorry for the ‘radio silence’. Found it very difficult watching videos of the big races as it’s a reminder of what I’m missing and also how bad things are. I put in my GFA London application because I earned that right, but once again the chances of doing it are very slim.

Sorry for the delay in watching. Congratulations once again on an incredible Berlin time. Aid station little can be problem People need reminding to use the bins. That's down to individual person of course but also down to organisers to ram message home. Bloke saying you'd be lucky to get 3:30 is more than likely a keyboard warrior. People are generally in awe of what you do but there will always be snipers looking to have a dig. It just goes with the territory. Ps. So you have a return to New York in 2025. Wow. That’s amazing.

I've done Berlin 2023 & also this year. I knew the water stations were going to be chaos so carried a bottle of water and skipped the first few. It's purely down to the people, it's the only race I've encountered people pushing and shoving and the aid stations and then just chucking the cups on the ground. I also went to the Expo Saturday morning and had no issues. I had planned on splurging on merch but most things were sold out in my size. Thoroughly enjoyed this year's race everything went to plan. Last year I cramped up about 32km and it became a death march from there 😂.

Enjoyed the video, I walk at aid stations that have cups after nearly choking a few times I realised I can’t run and drink 😂 best memory for me in Berlin was running through centre of Brandenburg Gate. I’m seriously considering a marathon next year now but which one…….🤔 still tbd, take care.

I think you hit the nail on the head there Donato. Ibhave heard of problems at the Expo but on Fruday afternoon i sailed through and got in and out in under 30 minutes with bibs for both races, the 5k and 42k. The drink stations were even busier 45 minutes behind you and yes i was chatting with a guy who was jeffing a 6 hr race and so shifted up to the sub 4 pen so he didnt have to worry about the cut off. So even i was bobbing and weaving for the first half which ultimately meant I ran further to hit the time goals and blew up!! The event was well run. I got to my pen early and had empty toilets available while people were off in the bushes in the park, so i saw none of that stuff. The pen was empty when i got there. I was also near Potsdam Platz and walked to the start. It was great seeing the crowds begin to grow, the atmosphere was electric.

@@PoetWithPace Never too loud, Donato. I believe that more 'time on feet' will benefit you greatly since you definitely have the speed to run a sub3. Just need to work on endurance and leg strength. I am convinced that a sub3 is attainable since you appear to have the determination and discipline needed to achieve this goal. Bytheway, are you aware of Ed Whitlock, Gene Dykes and Jo Schoonbroodt? All ran sub3 when over 70years of age.
