Nice video Marcus. As Marcus says, save some energy for when you reach the Brandenburger Tor. From there it's about 200 m to the finish line.

how did you shave off 1hr from the 1st marathon?

[@marcusruns9003]

A combination of things that I won’t do justice to in this answer. So consistent structured training built over the years. Lots of base building miles, with faster effort work. A few backwards steps but kept trying and kept moving forward.

Marcus! I'm running Berlin for the first time this year...where do you reco staying?

[@marcusruns9003]

Budget dependent, the closer to the start/finish ie the Tiergarten the better. However the transport links are excellent in Berlin so you can get better value just outside of that area.

[@deannovak8077]

One question, does it cost money in order to be on the marathon?

[@marcusruns9003]

There’s a few extras but it starts at €163. Some off which I feel should be included like the timing chip which is approximately €6

[@paterson247]

How long was it between your 4.05 and 3.01?

[@marcusruns9003]

Between 4.55 and sub 3 was quite a while. I had at least 4 years where I didn’t run. And when I returned I was inconsistent, then I had at least 3+ years of structured and regular training before I broke sub 3
