God bless you Matt for sharing Berlin with those of us who didn’t get accepted.

[@its_Matt_B_]

Ugh, I’m sorry but also, my pleasure!

[@Jhanke999]

🥶 Both pairs of shoes look sick. The EV SLs look too pretty to run in.

[@its_Matt_B_]

I know! They look super fresh!

[@thomasgraves2531]

Thanks for sharing your experience in Berlin, Matt. Sorry the hotel turned out to be a dud, but I noticed on the door it stated it is a “Pension,” which in Germany is a few steps down from the level of a hotel. The Marathon weekend just drives up the cost for any place that is avaible. Keeping my fingers crossed for you to make your target time in the marathon! 🥶

[@its_Matt_B_]

Ahh! I had no idea that’s what Pension meant. Thanks!

Look forward to catching up with that over the next couple of days.

@@MarkSmith_Best-Athletics Good to hear! We’ll definitely meet up in Boston!

[@ariearie276]

I bet on 3:12:00 time. something between Garmin and Coros (Garmin lowers your predictions because you probably haven't been running too fast lately. And the hotel is a bit strange but it could have been worse it is somehow reasonable... Have fun🥶

🥶Watching this after the race and I already know your time. I am currently doing the Stryd Marathon plan. Are you doing any CP tests with stride? You need to do 3min and >10min full effort tests for CP to be correctly calculated and thus for your predictions to be accurate.

[@its_Matt_B_]

I haven't done the CP tests in over a year. It's pretty obvious why Stride was better in the past at predicting my times!
