Chicago Marathon 2019 - I am a Marathoner - Short Film [HD]

This is a short film that I have made about running my third World Major Marathon in Chicago with my wife Kat.
This film documents both of our journeys from start line to the finish line.
I made this film as I like to share an honest account from the perspective of your average marathon runner. I do this as the internet is full of sponsored semi-pro athletes putting incredible PB’s (running times) in their posts. Although this can be inspiring it can be an un-achievable bench mark for most of us and can lead people to pushing themselves to the point that they do not enjoy their running anymore, or they give up completely. I believe that running is a sport for everyone and unless you are a full-time athlete, you are only really competing with yourself. The benefits of running are good for your mental and physical health and running marathons gives you the opportunity to travel and meet new people. I run with Type One diabetes that I have had since age 11 and the level of activity involved is a great way to manage my condition. Whatever your reason, you can run on your own, in a group or as part of an event! It also opens up social opportunities and gives you the chance to travel.
Where else can you get a million plus people together on a Sunday simply for good and positive reasons?!?
I have made two other marathon films for both the NYC Marathon and the London Marathon.
they can be found here:
New York Marathon 2018 : • New York City Marathon...
London Marathon 2018: • Video
Having completed 3 of the world major marathons it means that we are half way to our six start medal.
The remaining marathons we have left to complete are:
Tokyo
Berlin
Boston

I love meeting other marathon runners and in Chicago we had the opportunity to meet someone who had watched one of my previous videos. If you see us at an event please come over and say hello, getting the chance to meet people so passionate about marathon running is always a pleasure and makes making these videos worth the hard work :)
See you at a race soon!!

Wonderful!! Congratulations to you both!🙂

[@marsme7511]

Congrats to you 2! Wow, getting the medal from Paula Radcliffe. Not bad! I met her a month ago in New York!

[@kisherefilm]

Yes, that was a massive surprise crossing the finish line!!!! She was very nice :) Thank you for checking out my vid!

[@trainsporter5643]

Thank you for this cool and emotional Video I have seen we Run 2018 NYC Marathon and the Chicago Marathon togehter :-)

[@kisherefilm]

Pleased you enjoyed my videos. Thank you for taking the time to watch them :)

[@andrewreinwand4942]

Watching this tonight, barely 12 hours from running my first marathon. Very inspirational! Great work putting this together and thank you for doing so and most importantly CONGRATULATIONS!

[@kisherefilm]

What marathon? Athens? Thank you for checking out my film and for your kind words. Massive good luck to you with your marathon... I hope you have an awesome experience :) I always like to hear others experiences... let me know how you get on :) All the best Scott

[@andrewreinwand4942]

Kishere Film thanks Scott! I am running the Madison Marathon in Madison, WI. Won’t be as gorgeous as Athens I’m sure but will be great nonetheless haha.

[@andyfullerlewis]

Scott and Kat - just seen the vid - and loved it. Scott - you overtook me when I hit the wall after mile 16 - recognised you from your NYC and London vids. So impressed with both your times. Can't believe you cope with type 1 diabetes and run marathons. I scraped in under 5 - so was chuffed. Wonderful that you both have running in common. Fingers crossed I can run NYC this year. Keep it up!

[@kisherefilm]

Andy Fuller-Lewis Pleased you enjoyed the video Andy!! If you see me at another race say hello :) Type One can be a pain but I use it as motivation a lot of the time. It is great that Kat and I enjoy running together. Don’t get me wrong, like everyone else there are days we struggle... Especially through these stormy weekends, we kind of motivate each other to lace up and get out. I hope you get to run NYC this year. We are running the NYC United Half in 3 weeks. Good luck with future races :) Scott

[@joelkonderik]

Another great video from you guys!!! Great runs!!!

[@kisherefilm]

Thank you Joel :) 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[@stephenltarrant]

Love your films Scott! Having done New York with you in 2018 and 4 others marathons, I am really missing the motivation to get up and run and being able to look forward to the next one! Your films bring back those memories and inspire me to keep going!

[@melidalopez8646]

Awesome job to both congratulations, know the finished, just completed the New York City Marathon, did Marine Corps Marathon last year!

[@kisherefilm]

Melida Lopez thank you!! I would love to run the NYC marathon again someday. I bet the Marine Corp marathon was a good experience! Scott :)

[@JackSheahan2012]

(tear wipe) Great stuff. Congratulations to you both, Scott and Kat. A great end to what seemed like a terrific trip. Excellent work by you both. I hope you are looking forward to your next Marathon adventure already. Cheers!!! Enjoy the memory of your triumph.

[@kisherefilm]

Thank you for following and supporting our journey Jack! We do have marathon ambitions for 2020 but nothing has been confirmed yet :)

[@kim-anh9860]

Congratulations, you guys! Amazing times and what’s even more impressive is how fresh you both look at the finish line!

[@kisherefilm]

That’s nice of you to say ... I was very aware of the salt on my face from sweating during the run. I was pleased my hair looked good though lol. Thank you for checking out my little film :) Scott 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃‍♀️🎥

[@kim-anh9860]

Kishere Film We’re all pretty salty at the end! You guys made me want to run Chicago again (I already put my name in the ballot 🤞). I hope you two are still celebrating your amazing accomplishments 🍾🎉💪🙌

[@BenzoDJ]

Congrats on your third world major! 6:07 is that Paula Radcliffe?! lucky

[@BenzoDJ]

ahh you confirmed it was her on 7:54 :D

[@kisherefilm]

Thank you!!! Yes it was Paula Radcliffe ... she put a tweet out that she watched this video. I will share that tweet in my KZbin feed!! She was very nice and it was awesome of her to wait by the finish line to hand runners medals :)

[@steveholderness1450]

Inspiring! Well done guys. I have entered the ballot for Chicago 2020.. 🤞🏻

[@kisherefilm]

Thank you Steve 🙏 Good luck getting a place for Chicago... I hope you do :)

[@steveholderness1450]

@@kisherefilm I'll let you know! 😊

[@kisherefilm]

Do 👍🏻👍🏻🏃🏻‍♂️🇺🇸

[@JohnMichaelBorza]

Your video is amazing - such an inspiration! Would you be able to share what was the song that was playing while Paula was medaling you? You also mention that your blood sugar was 7.6 during the race. Does that mean that it was somewhere between 70-110? Thanks for sharing your story and showing that someone with DM Type 1 can run marathons!

[@kisherefilm]

Thank you so much Strava buddy :) The music for my films I licence through a website called Artist. You may be able to find out the name of the track on there... If I find the track I will let you know. I am not sure what the conversion is in blood sugars is for this reading. I can occasionally have a hypo mid-run but I deal with this with sports gels so that was a reading I was happy with for sure :) Stay safe in these surreal times Scott

[@logginsirl]

Well done lads!! Nice video. I completed my first ever marathon in December on my own with no crowd or finish line just me and pure determination in 3:47 the last 10k was the toughest. What was the hardest section for ye in this one? I can’t wait for normality to return and will add Chicago to my list!

[@kisherefilm]

Congrats!! That is an awesome finish time running the marathon on your own. I did my own marathon too on a very hilly route during a storm, probably not the cleverest of ideas on my part lol! It was a great sense of achievement when I completed it though, mainly because I didn’t let 2020 stop me. I also raised some money for a local charity which gave it extra value. I am with you on the last stretch, somehow I had managed to set a course with the biggest hill (which felt like a mountain) in the last 2 miles. Chicago was great ... it’s a fairly flat course, I would say mile 24 onwards was tough because there was a lot of head wind. Chicago is known as the Windy City though. Also there is a slight incline in the last mile which you feel. I would totally recommend! Keep me posted if you do it 👍🏻 Keep safe :) Scott

[@rainbow0507]

Hi Scott I finally ran the new york marathon! A couple of weeks ago I sent you an email about that at your Gmail address. Thank you!

[@kisherefilm]

I got your email... I am so pleased you had an awesome experience at the NYC marathon!! You sure had great weather for it :) Scott
