Can I Run a Half Marathon in Just 30 Days?

[@GodfreyMercado]

The half marathon was tough! What should I try next?

Marathon

[@justmeemi6350]

Marathon 😉

[@cathynewyork7918]

You should run the New York City Marathon in 2024. [The 2023 Marathon is already sold out.]

[@geromemanicia3809]

Marathon. Then ask for suggestions again after the marathon.

A non runner running at a pace of 26 minutes per 5km on the first day? Hhmmm okay lol

[@YoooMelvin]

I ran my first 5K two days ago at 26:01. I haven’t ran in over two years and have primarily been strength and weight training. What’s so unbelievable about this?

[@kennethfajardo1984]

@@YoooMelvin then congrats! You are also ahead of a lot of “first time runners” like him

[@user-og9nl5mt1b]

Yea this video is fake . He would get shin splits if he was really a beginner ,at that pace .

[@kennethfajardo1984]

@@user-og9nl5mt1b so true!

[@BryanMartinez751]

My first 5k was 20:21😂

[@tamlyngoodrich3838]

Great video this. Don't like the comments about not being a new runner. If you are fit and have played sports you can probably run a decent time. Without sounding harsh, the major reason runners his age have 'slower' times will be linked to weight rather than 'natural' ability.

[@BTPO]

So glad I found this video! I’m signed up for a half marathon with a month to go. I haven’t ran in years but just did a couple miles. Thanks for inspiration, cheers

[@buzzfeedUK]

You GOT this

[@chrisgarzon1]

Man... I trained for 10 weeks for my half and finished in 2:05:48 haha hoping to be under 2 hours for my next one

[@itshellosepi]

so proud of you Godfrey! nailed it 🎉

[@leorunsoregon2082]

Running a half marathon in 6 days. I haven’t trained I got sick all last week and here I am 😂😢

[@iNeed2ppp]

All the best!!!

[@DrShakamoto9]

I’m a fat bastard weighing 220lbs and did my first half 2 weeks ago in 1:57. Need to kick on now and hopefully do a full marathon in 2025

[@guayaquilindependiente8763]

I signed up for a 15k on June… exactly one month to go. My max distance is 11k and I live at an altitude of 2800m that’s 10.000ft if you’re American…. It’s much harder at altitude but I’ll make it! Good luck to anyone running their first race out there :)

[@parmaman8551]

A sub 2-hour half marathon in 30 days by a non-runner? That's almost impossible.

[@jirehcullen7878]

Yes it is, my brother is fit but not a runner and he did a half mara with no training in 1:50

[@HawkYUNGINMusic]

If it takes you 30 days to run a half marathon you are probably going too slow…

[@louiem2]

Respect and inspiring vid bro. Not quite half marathon distance, but i will be doing a few 10k's this year. Your vid has given me the motivation!!

[@taylorhavanas]

It’s funny that I came across this video because I randomly signed up for a 10k (6 miles) this month lol. I’m not a runner at all! But I have until April to get ready.

[@cathynewyork7918]

Good luck!

[@samantatorresg5305]

You can do it!!!

[@cathynewyork7918]

A 10K race is 6.2 miles. I hope you enjoy your race. Start slow - don't-run too fast in the first miles. Save some energy for the last miles of the race. Don't burn off all your energy in the first mile of the race, Enjoy it.

[@NYKIRA]

the mistake of not going to the toilet whilst running oh nooo 😂😂😂

[@maverick_mando]

Bro says I am not a runner and finishes a 5k in just about 25 minutes or so😅

[@MsHikarii]

Omg! I’m having a goosebumps and I wanna cry for your achievement. Tears of joy buddy! I’m going to run half marathon in 2 months, thank you for your fighting spirit and this content , I badly need it now, I’m having mix emotions whenever I’m thinking the run, but I’m excited coz I knew that this gonna be one of the best day of my life! Cheers to you buddy. 🎉

[@buzzfeedUK]

GOOD LUCK!

[@christellequillien4858]

royal parks half is such a beautiful route, so scenic! well done on your first half 🙌

[@cathynewyork7918]

You did a great job in the race. Well done.

[@Thepursuitoftastiness]

If you start with a sub 30 minutes 5k you are already at a very good point!

[@jrjo_4z246]

Id like to think id finish a half marathon in 30 days😂

[@nyarsikemeseemilia4657]

Well done! Cpngratulations!! Next challenge: learn to dance salsa? Greatings from Brazil :)

[@saisum__t]

i am having a half marathon on 30th nov .. in the last days i ran almost 16-17 times ... lets see if we could complete it within 2 hours ... see you guys on sun with some good update

[@iananimate1750]

26m in 5K for a beginner??? imagine how much you can achieve training for 10 years

[@lifeizzzgood]

Wow!!! Congrats on your first half!!! I have 60days before my first HM. Which marathon will you run next?

[@samcleal7290]

Go Godfrey!!!

[@BULLEN752]

Why’d they censor out Jordan in the background?

[@dabriag-force3450]

Great job, this was so inspiring!

[@roshanbhatta]

I did a half marathon with zero training and zero sleep the night before. Completed at 2:36. Did 2nd one after few months within 2:28, again with no training 😂.

[@alicemuhoza]

Well done 👍🏽

[@lwandaquest5294]

the time you take too run these km is crazy 😂

[@VangRVang]

I have a solution for the ice bath. He should’ve started doing cold showers in the beginning of his journey that way the ice bath would’ve been easier to do at the end. Adapt! Train! No BS! Positivity! Carry the boats and logs baby!!

[@b-radley2425]

Pro tip for the ice bath is wear socks! Helps the feet

[@camcam800m]

That's awesome! I want to run a half marathon soon!

[@chrisblue961]

Godfrey is so cute

[@guayaquilindependiente8763]

Let me answer this without watching it yet… you cannot finish a half marathon with only 30 days of training if you have no prior experience running… you need at least a couple of months, it is NOT easy. You could do it if you have some experience and are fairly active with cardio.

[@TV-eh9fi]

Yeah absolutely. Even if he has good genetics or been doing other sports. Running faster takes more time than that. I can't believe too many people really believed in the comments. Makes me cringe watching this video.

[@DewaldLouwChannel]

Unless you run, walk, run, walk.

[@Shwetankdhyani]

I have 30 days for mine and my last 5 years have 4 days of running. It may not be a good time, but 2.30 shouldn't be hard even for non-runners in okay shape.

[@Donato71]

Cmon, that's so clearly BS. This type of video creates false expectations in TRULY new runners.

[@TV-eh9fi]

Absolutely. Yet many real beginners in the comments really believed this BS. lol

[@gloriamadrid1468]

Go for a whole marathon.

[@francishaokip3314]

I really love it..
