My daughter stayed up late to watch with me. Her name is Stella so she was super excited when Stella was the first female finisher. And of course we rooted for you the whole way! Great race!

Thanks again Rory for the video! I audibly said “hell yeah” when your vid appeared on my feed I really appreciate the frequency of your uploads - how you provide us with this longer form, fluff-free content every few weeks. I also appreciate the balance of day in the life / pro tips / workouts / travel footage / personal thoughts in the videos Thanks again and good luck at the natl championships.

Thanks for the honest recap Rory. Not something Coach Ryan probably hasn't already said, but being slightly disappointed running a 64 minute half on a challenging day shows how far you've come, what a remarkable athlete you are, and the skills needed to persist through hard times rather than (like a lot of elite athletes) drop out to save themselves for future races. These are exactly the skills that will serve you in Paris where I anticipate the DNF rate to be very high!

This was a seriously good watch. Thanks Rory, the quality of your videos is often on another level. The way you let us in on the whole runner experience before a race was definetely very interesting and hope to see more of this kind of videos in the future. Good Luck in Paris!

No offense, I'm curious why many Japanese runners can run so fast in the marathon. What's your idea on it?
@LinkletterRory5 ай бұрын
For 1, they emphasize longer distances from an earlier age. 2 they don’t really do cross country, instead they run road races. Their collegiate system is basically half marathon training. They also collectively run more volume than others. Just to name a few reasons (:
@randyevermore93235 ай бұрын
It also helps that competitive distance running isn't considered a minor sport here in Japan. In terms of popularity (and therefore media coverage), it's right up there with baseball.
