[@humanitarkamkd]

My favorite lesson from this video is people are kind! I started crying when I saw that 3:00 pacer just cheering you... they can probably run faster, but they are running for other people! Also you, Floris, dedicating this to your family... after health, family is the most important thing in the world.

[@FlorisGierman]

Totally, such a supportive team of pacers and crowd. Totally family is so important! Appreciate you

[@ShannonSheeks-md7ze]

Wow! That was awesome! Thank you for recording that- I was set to run Tokyo 2024 as well and was sidelined 3 weeks before the race with a stress fracture in my hip. Watching your video brought me to tears and it was incredible to see the race through you! Congrats! You are inspiring!

[@FlorisGierman]

Damn, sorry to hear about your hip stress fracture Shannon, wishing you a speedy recovery. Glad you enjoyed the video and still experienced the Tokyo marathon in some way. All the best

[@cocopoco2006]

Shannon, were you able to defer or no?

[@ShannonSheeks-md7ze]

@@cocopoco2006 no unfortunately they do not allow deferments

[@moe_huntin8946]

“Mind in the right place” that is such a huge part of distance sports. I’m new to distance sports and it truly is mind over matter. Thank you for your videos and podcast, I appreciate what you do!

[@FlorisGierman]

Totally, as much as it's important to be physically fit, the mind in the right place can help you dig deeper when needed. Thank you!

[@davidstella6418]

Way to dig deep in those tough miles. Always impressive to see how you pull it off with some major obstacle in your way. Lots of inspiration here for my marathon in 1 week! Thanks Floris!

[@FlorisGierman]

Never a dull moment with some of those challenging miles David. Good luck with your marathon, don't let any major obstacles get in your way!

[@davidstella6418]

@@FlorisGierman I didn't! But I'll be lying if I said it was easy at the end there. Especially with the wind and the warm temps. I really had some doubts around 22 and especially at 24 but I was able to battle through and finish with a 7 min PR. I'll take it.....onto the next!

[@hannahinhealth]

"Run the mile you are in" this mindset is what keeps me going on long runs too ❤ I dream of running Tokyo one day. Congrats Floris!!

[@homolappen]

My biggest takeaway from this video is that you should never underestimate anything. Doesn't matter if it's a marathon, half marathon or even a 5k. Always prepare and listen to your body. Thanks for the insights from the Tokyo Marathon Floris!

[@Keeperholder2]

Favorite quote from this video "Don't ever underestimate the marathon". Sums it all up pretty well.

[@FlorisGierman]

Spot on takeaway

[@macau.friend]

Congrats! I know you keep saying it’s tough, which I am sure it was, but you still manage to make it look so enjoyable. I still remember how you encouraged Kofuzi to almost hit sub 3, and anyone would be lucky to have you as a running buddy.

[@FlorisGierman]

Having fun and joy in our running journey is so important. That LA marathon with Kofuzi was a special day, seeing him dig so deep to run strong to the finish line. I appreciate you 🙏

[@EugeneKee]

Wow you look so calm even after the run! Can’t wait for Kipchoge’s interview to be released.

[@FlorisGierman]

Haha, calm on the outside, but inside holding on for dear life to keep that pace going. Kipchoge interview should be done in the next 7-10 days, stay tuned!

[@shagbaker377]

Hey Floris! I am still working hard to beat 45 minutes in a 5k. It may not sound like much, but it is for me. I appreciate everything you offer!

[@geogeo3644]

Just wanted to say that you're doing well and keep going.

[@dobby92]

Great work!! Very impressive result given that you were not training too much prior to it :D and I really enjoy your recording, Tokyo street view looked amazing! The slowmo shots were cool, but maybe a bit too many of them, it would be cooler to see the cheering crowd in a normal speed :D

[@realgrilledsushi]

That was inspirational! I remembered you holding back tear when you finished Berlin. Learned alot of what to prepared for a marathon although I’ll be taking my half-marathon instead in two months. That was amazing, congrats to your accomplishment!

[@FlorisGierman]

A marathon surely strips away all layers and the raw emotions easily come up. It's part of the journey that some other runners also experience. It's not easy to put vulnerability in videos, but those low and high feelings are what makes a marathon special. Thanks @realgrilledsushi

[@jenniferkellett4314]

So good to watch that Floris and it brought back great memories for me from 2023 Tokyo Marathon. Big congratulations and thanks for sharing (which probably cost a little time)!💪💪💪

[@FlorisGierman]

Thanks so much Jennifer. What a special place to race the Tokyo Marathon is. Hope your runs are going well. Cheers

[@wissamkheir]

Awesome Floris! A true inspiration ❤

[@FlorisGierman]

Trying to keep up with you Wissam, appreciate you my friend. Hope all is well with you and the fam.

[@WorldT]

THat is really well done. IT is always a good challenge to see how one does even if the training is less than what was planned before. for most part everything has their ups and downs. but in general a good amazing time to finish on such a major marathon, I have my first major this year, Chicago later in October, after doing Ottawa and Grandmas too this year. thanks on sharing

[@FlorisGierman]

You'll have a blast at Chicago, a great World Major to race. Surely never a dull moment in a marathon, with plenty of ups and downs. Enjoy your training and upcoming races. Cheers

[@mad8298]

Congratulations Floris!! I can't believe you did that on such low mileage. And yes, marathons are TOUGH!😆 Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

[@FlorisGierman]

Honestly wasn't sure if I could pull it off or miss my goal, yet the weather was on my side on race day. Appreciate you!

[@Weichi928]

Floris, you are the man!

[@saranghaeclinic4904]

How sweet !!

[@FlorisGierman]

You are so kind

[@joelsoncoelho4002]

The lesson: no one but you can make the difference on you're own world! So, trust yourself, work hard, be resilient, confident and consistent, but always listening to your body. Take your place and release all the magic that is inside. You are your master.

[@jacksonm.6549]

I'm amazed by sub 3h runners! You were all doing my 5k personal best the whole way (around 4min/km). 2h58 is a time I can only dream of doing! In fact, I'd love to do a sub 40 min 10k. Well done on this effort.

[@FlorisGierman]

Pace is just a number Jackson, that being said, you might surprise yourself with consistent training over a long enough time horizon, fueling and the right pacing strategy. Enjoy your running journey. Thanks and cheers

[@Awhimai45]

That was amazing! Thanks for sharing. You made it look easy. 😊

[@jimjuliahollister7026]

It was so helpful to see this as I prepare for my first marathon at age 63. Thanks for the tips on nutrition, and the reminder not to underestimate the marathon.

[@FlorisGierman]

Exciting first marathon ahead, you will ALWAYS remember your first marathon :) Glad it was helpful! Enjoy your training and racing journey ahead.

[@JapanJacques]

Didn’t know you were out there, must’ve missed you go by because I was cheering on a few club mates who were just under sub 3 as well! Nice race 👍

[@FlorisGierman]

Small world! Hope your club mates crushed it. Thanks!

[@markjones3332]

Floris, found your channel on my way to running my first marathon this June. Thank you for sharing your perspective during the race and your training. You’re inspirational in more ways than one! Keep charging!

[@FlorisGierman]

Happy to hear Mark, means a lot to me. Enjoy your marathon training and racing journey. You will ALWAYS remember your first marathon!

[@casual.runner]

awesome time and what a great race! i similarly needed to be alone with my pain from 20km-35km (till the final out and back). Thought I saw you checking out at Keio Plaza hotel but I wasn't sure (wasn't on socials the last days before race). Darn, should have asked you for a photo.

[@FlorisGierman]

Small world! I did spend 2 days in the Keio Plaza hotel to record several podcasts. Next time hit me up and we'll talk running. Hope you enjoyed your time in Tokyo! Cheers

[@laius6047]

such cool concept of having those pacer guys run with 3h flag.

[@Roman-hs2pq]

Congrats with the race ! And thanks for all the valuable info about Zone 2 training and especially for the link to Zones calculator where you put your age, resting and max. HR. Before October 12th, 2023, I was depressed as hell, unfit and skinny fat, burned out at my job with relationships that were cracking. Now I’m less depressed, in my best form, sharing a new hobby with my girlfriend. My easy runs are in 9min/mile instead of 13m/m, I can run sub 2 half, and average 30miles per week training for my first marathon.

[@FlorisGierman]

So awesome to hear about your progress! Running is not just changing your pace, but your life too. Keep on crushing it Roman!

[@Stefikp1122]

Hey Floris, congratulations on your fifth major marathon what a journey and thanks for sharing these moments! I am entering first major the Boston for the first time in one month! Question how many gels did you carry with you? I am using them too and my body absorbs them smoothly…last time i had 6 on my last marathon.

[@FlorisGierman]

It's always a tricky balance between having enough fuel and avoiding an upset stomach. I took a lot of gels and I've practiced with them. I had them at 15 minutes prior, then at 20 / 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 / 160 minutes, so 9 in total x 30 grams of carbs per gel. Everyone is different here but many people under fuel. Training runs and journaling can help here.

[@aussiebeck1]

Well done!

[@FlorisGierman]

Thanks a ton!

[@pvsolarpanels]

Find you video by by accident. Soooo awesome! Btw, which kind of camera you take the video

[@FlorisGierman]

Happy to hear that! I use a Go Pro 11 with External Mic and handle. It's linked in the KZbin description.

[@uvolniavka]

A sub-3 hour marathon on 24 miles running per week for the 12-week period prior to the event? This is hugely impressive, at least in my eyes.

[@FlorisGierman]

Glad the temperatures cooperated that day, or I'd have been in trouble. Thank you

[@PoetWithPace]

Well done Floris! Never any doubt you would run under 3 hours as you have the pedigree and background to achieve that. The extra miles you ran was probably from the wrong GPS. Wait till you get to London, guaranteed and extra km to show on your watch! How does one get access to interview Eliud?

[@FlorisGierman]

🙏 The GPS actually felt correct, I also wore a footpod for additional accuracy. There was just a lot of zigzagging around the course to limit running into groups of people. Kipchoge interview still needs to be edited, wanted this video out first. Should be done in 7-10 days.

[@PoetWithPace]

@@FlorisGierman looking forward to it!

[@namits3775]

very well done,

[@FlorisGierman]

Thank you Namits3775, appreciate you!

[@kristoffercedric4565]

I've seen a lot of follow along marathon vids, but this is one of the best ones yet. You look so relaxed and positive while racing! Truly inspirational man, subbed!

[@geryongeryon]

Floris says he's tired and beat yet he looks like he could keep going and complete a 100 km ultra 🙂

[@FlorisGierman]

hahaha I swear I was hurting and it was super challenging at the end. Glad the finish line showed up when it did :)

[@slodoco]

That is one hell of a course too. Great work! How Jetlagged were you and what do you do about it? Arrive a day early and sleep it off?

[@FlorisGierman]

Surely an epic course to race. I arrived Thursday end of day, so had Friday to pick up my bib, Saturday shakeout run, Sunday race day. That surely helps because the time different Los Angeles and Tokyo was 17 hours.

[@macau.friend]

Just got my spot for Tokyo next year and am super excited! Re-watching your video now to start prepping for the race. My goal is to BQ, but given the new finish times by the BAA, it’s gonna be one tough battle. Like you said, gotta put in the miles.

[@zoomerrunner]

Hey Floris, just curious about your fueling strategy with the Path Projects kit? How'd the gels feel in the Graves PX shorts and did you utilize both the front & back pockets? I'm deciding between the Graves and Sykes for 20m+ training runs. Commenting for the gift card -- favorite lesson is to pay attention to fuel!

[@seekingUltraNick]

Well done once again, Floris!! Love your heart and grit… we’ve all been there, whether it’s mile 18, 22, 25 or mile 10! Dig deep and run a smart race. Great job, man.

[@FlorisGierman]

Totally, overcoming some of those tough spots can feel incredibly fulfilling. Enjoy your running journey Nick. Cheers

[@poncharales1384]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@mikedelta987]

Any tips on what hotel to stay at and how far in advance should we show up before the race?

[@vrombo]

Floris you're one of my top motivators. Already lost 17 kilos, run everyday, doing first Mara soon.

[@FlorisGierman]

That's amazing progress! Keep up the great work! Thanks and cheers

[@joelouden6592]

Those 3-hour pace guys with the flags looked rested and fresh like they only ran 2 miles. WTF???

[@laius6047]

one question. You talk about running in zone2 a lot. but with this pace 4:10 or so which you ran in other videos as low heart rate running (zone2) and here the pace is the same and your heart rate is around 140. So is this considered zone 2 for you?

[@TheKarlos14]

How did you get in? Lottery? Charity? What about all the 5 others...?

[@cicirunner]

Awesome job Floris! How many majors do you have left?

[@FlorisGierman]

Thank you, only London left in 6 weeks. Then I'd like to re-do NYC in November, to run all 6 under 3 hours if possible.

[@cicirunner]

@@FlorisGierman Great goal! Great to follow along with your video clips.

[@MidLifeRunner]

Legend! Thanks for capturing Japan! 🇯🇵 biggest take away is volume! You are what you run. Miles in, miles out!

[@ShervinShares]

casually interviewing Kipchoge at the end

[@FlorisGierman]

Haha, between race expo, shakeout runs, the marathon and podcast recordings, there was no time to overthink the Kipchoge interview. Probably a good thing :)

[@Bwebber99]

New york needs that style of bin for cup disposal and those 180 corners wow

[@kap0no22]

I ran this too just hoping to get under 4 hours. I got 4:14. Hopefully I can get to your level of sub 3 hour one day

[@denyschernenko9973]

Lesson: Run because you enjoy it? not because you have to hit some goals!

[@mmw58]

favorite lesson i learned as im training for my first half marathon is that it's all mental and nobody can push you to do it. it's all you!

[@severiner7168]

Well done on a great marathon! You worked out where you were in terms of fitness and just stayed with that. I was impressed how relaxed you looked. Loved seeing the supporters and what lovely pacers! I have a marathon coming up and the training is not going as planned because of managing an injury so my takeaway for the day will be, run the race I am able to do rather than the one I had hoped for. That will be my best chance of having the best experience possible. Thank you

[@FlorisGierman]

Great approach for your upcoming race day. Do what you can, health first, running performance will follow. Sending positive healthy running vibes your way!

[@severiner7168]

I'm going to London 2025 to complete the majors, with Sydney yet on my pocket. Listen to you on my next long run (love The Extramilest Show).

[@espinosb]

Floris, I discovered your zone 2 training video last summer and that inspired me to increase my weekly mileage! That snowballed into beginning to believe I could do marathon...leading to applying for the Tokyo Marathon...and then to FINISHING the Tokyo Marathon (my first one)!! Thank you for being an inspiration to this community and I'm already looking forward to the next one!!

[@seandashner2952]

Dude, amazing execution, filming yourself, running, picking up the water cup, drinking the water without spilling, properly placing the cup in a trash receptacle. Legendary.

[@burillakcsaba]

Woww, Japanese people are mad for marathon running, great video about the atmosphere running there! Congrats for another sub 3 marathon, Floris!

[@FlorisGierman]

Totally, was awesome to see the outfits on the side of the road. They are not as loud as other world majors, but surely brought their dress up game!

[@omjaye]

Wow great race! Love your positive spirit in the midst of challenge. Thanks for sharing your nutrition. Would be interesting to know your travel routine like how far in advance you arrive when travel long distance.

[@FlorisGierman]

Thank you! For Tokyo the time difference with LA was 17 hours, so I flew in further ahead. Left LA on Wednesday, arrived at the hotel Thursday end of day. Friday bib pick up, Saturday shakeout run, Sunday race. As soon as I depart the airport, I put the local time zone on my watch and try to force myself to adjust. I remove caffeine for that 24 hours, wear blue light blocking glasses and bring face mask / ear plugs to sleep in the plane. Hope that helps.

Great stuff - loved the race too, a fabulous experience. Very happy to do 3h16 after developing a niggle in the training block. And to meet Kipchoge too, although I didn’t get a podcast out of him 😂 Look forward to listening. Keep up the good work 😊

[@FabianVanL]

Awesome work, Floris! I am going for my very first marathon this May. Pace will be very different, but I'm really looking forward to it after watching this!

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

This video brought me memories when I ran it in 2016, it was my very first marathon also. I managed to make it my goal of sub 4hours but after km 33 it was tough but totally worth it in the end. Well done on your race and sure you enjoyed all the vibes from Tokyo streets! congrats once again!

[@lilyw.1788]

Congrats on having an awesome race !! Just one question , you mentioned taking a gel every 30 mins or so , did you train taking that much gel also or just during race day ?

[@FlorisGierman]

Thank you! I've done some long run fast finishes, where I took in gels about every 40 minutes at the low intensity, then last 5 miles / 8km at marathon pace or faster with gels every 20 minutes. Good to train so less chance of surprises

[@jessanderson4378]

Seeing Richard Whitehead at 1:33… I’m blown away. How brilliant. Now, to watch the rest of the video 🙏🏼

[@reshlol]

Hello guys i need your help with my running and I don't know where to post this other than here . I was running for quite some time mostly to train for badminton ( I play in competition) and I recently discovered zone 2 training . i record my run with a h10 heart tracker and the polar beats app . And when i use all the calculator i get between 134/136 to 150/152 ( i have rest heart rate of 52 and 190 max heart rate record in one session of badminton on my polar beats) . or the MAF method i get 152 ( i am 28) and i am pretty fit so maybe i can add 5 ? ( i do physical activities 6 day a week i love it ) . The problem i have is on my polar beat the zone 2 is 115-134 and zone 3 is 134-154 . And i'ts starting to mess with my mental a little bit . I run most day 30min in the morning to dodge traffic . So should i not pay attention of the zone of my polar beat and run zone 3 134-154 or should i run mutch slower and run the 115-134 . Does anyone as the same issue ? Thx for your help in advance !

[@silvermandavid]

I'm curious why Tokyo would have mile markers. Do all the majors have mile as well as kilometer markers?

[@FlorisGierman]

I was surprised as well, but since it's such an international race, I appreciated that they showed both miles and kilometers.

[@cuhhriss]

I signed up but didnt get selected 😢

[@RunWithCway]

@fiorisGierman the videos you made that remain etched in my mind the most are the Low HR training vids where you are running a sub 3 while talking to the viewers the whole time. I know all that work you put in is what makes it seem easy to you, and hard to some of us! Great work and may God allow you to continue to shine your light upon others!
