Awesome, congrats on going sub-4 - that's a big milestone!

[@runjamesrun]

Thanks so much! That’s definitely the plan 😃🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@richardbrown1573]

Love this - subscribed! Ran London Marathon this year and it was just awesome. Running twice on the same day though is just super impressive! Congrats on finishing both sub 4 too.

[@MTGordo93]

Doing my first marathon tomorrow James and this has inspired me 😎 slick and your seeking very little attention which makes this so much better

[@runjamesrun]

I’m so glad to hear that - the whole reason I make these is to inspire others to try things! Good luck tomorrow - which marathon are you running?

[@MTGordo93]

Belfast buddy! Keep going James if mass amounts of people had have known about your challenge you'd have been all over the news 😎 I'll let you know my time tomorrow

[@runjamesrun]

Fingers crossed - hope you have a great day!

[@robinmitchell1109]

Ooof! Amazing effort. 👏👏

[@dfc3usaf]

As you say over there, That was brilliant!! Awesome job!!

[@runjamesrun]

Many thanks! Was a fun day out for sure

[@goodmanthaba9248]

Hi James, that fantastic run....

[@jkmhenry]

Ran London in 2023 also, but glad I took the nice trains to the start 😂

[@jsveron1]

wow. that is crazy :). congrats. very impressive!!

[@marcwilding4804]

James, fair play - amazing! I’ve run London a couple of times but have also done event set up (putting up the big ‘Toblerone’ advertising hoardings on Tower Bridge, Cutty Sark and at the start. You’d often see people running it back to front coming into Red and Blue starts by about 8/9 am. The thought of then turning around and doing it again makes me a bit queasy! 😂😂 Great vid. Are you doing ‘24?

[@runjamesrun]

Hey, thanks so much for all your hard work making the course look so awesome - and for the friendly waves at the nutters doing it backwards 👋. I don't have a place next year unfortunately, so will need to figure out what my running goals are going to be. How about you?

[@nweiser2]

This is very impressive. You are amazing!

[@runjamesrun]

Cheers Nate!

[@MrBigz48]

You’re a mad man. 😂 Great run though, very impressive

[@runjamesrun]

Thanks 😅

[@markg99]

You made it look easy, James! Well done 👍🏻🏃‍♂️🙂 Out of interest, what shoes did you use? I still don't own a pair of road shoes so I'm gathering options. Keep up the great work buddy 👍🏻🏃‍♂️

[@runjamesrun]

Thanks Mark! I wore Hoka Clifton 8 which I’ve been pretty happy with for a while but I’m looking to mix it up - may try the Nike Invincible 3 next, although concerned they may not be wide enough

[@markg99]

Nice one. Hoka trail shoes are great for me, so there's a good chance the road shoes will be too 👍🏻cheers.

[@runjamesrun]

Yep, done all my trail running in Speedgoats and love them 👍

[@yuanchang-rv6re]

You are a machine and then some! Watched the whole thing and tempted to do another half but on the road to more of an atmosphere. 😅 Well done!! Xx

[@runjamesrun]

Yes!!! The whole reason I make these videos is to encourage people to take on new challenges, so I’m *delighted* by this plan ❤. Let me know which race you pick - there are some great half marathons with really strong crowd support if that’s your thing 🎉

[@allheartrc]

are you wearing your bib on the first half? this is epic shit!!!! i am now a subscriber! you rock!

[@runjamesrun]

Thanks so much! I wore my bib the whole time, pinned to my shorts as I planned to change my shirt half way.

[@allheartrc]

@Run James Run super smart and super cool. So many ppl mustve done double takes! Hahahaha.

[@runjamesrun]

A few people said words to the effect of “you’re a bit early aren’t you?” 😅

[@neilcatley9474]

Hi!! I'm doing the same this year. Aiming for a slower first in about 5hrs with friends, then about 4:30 for the second. Any tips, lessons, things you'd do differently??

[@runjamesrun]

Ah you'll have a great experience! There's a large group that does the backwards run in the middle of the night rather than the early morning, and I expect it would be really fun to do it with them, but I aimed to get to the start with just enough time to change and turn right around so that I didn't get too cold, stiff, etc. If I was going to do it again I might give myself time for a McDonalds breakfast in between! The main thing to think about is carrying food and drink for your first leg, and I brought my drop bag in my pack so that I could drop it off and lose the extra weight for the second half. It is really easy to get lost in Canary Wharf because your GPS will be useless, so pay attention in that section :) Let me know how it goes!

[@neilcatley9474]

@@runjamesrun cheers! There's a group of Bad Boy Runners doing it and we're setting off at 2am. Some are just doing the backwards, so they can take kit etc to save carrying it forwards. Really looking forward to it! 👍

[@gladfan1989]

Ah yes. Nothing says celebrating after a marathon like a beer.

[@runjamesrun]

You know it! 🍻

[@GoneFishingVlog]

That’s mad 😂😂 hats off to you sir. On strava ?

[@jameshickey100]

I am going to apply for London marathon for 2025

[@runjamesrun]

Awesome! I hope you get in 🤞

[@adampito9799]

@adampito9799 14:27 Said by a man who is already running a second marathon this day XDD

[@runjamesrun]

Fair point. The best thing about this sport is that no matter what level you’re at, there is always someone doing something you consider to be crazy!

[@Heinrichdouglas1]

Add a park run and come and do Comrades in June

[@runjamesrun]

I'll be there! Ran it last year too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roa0lqOkoNGioM0
