10 second PB while holding up a camera for a fair bit of the race, as well as jet lagged from the time difference, and also eating foods you’ve never ate before, that’s impressive. Congrats.

Ben I love watching your channel, I've been on a bit of a couch to marathon adventure over 10 months myself. My race is on May 7th here in Toronto Canada. My training was going well I had a bit of an ambitious goal of sub 4 hours. Doing ~300km monthly for mileage. I've had to back off in February due to bad weather and fatherly responsibility while my in laws and kids were sick. I clocked in just 100km in February and with 9 weeks out I'm feeling like sub 4 is just unobtainable for me for this race. I'm not overly obsessed with the goal and I have nothing riding on this race other than my personal pride. No one even knows I entered this race. But the training is something that I have without questioned loved. There's no other repeated task I've willingly woke up at 4am for. (Minus wife falling into labor). And there's this sense of owing it to my training. It's been incredibly frustrating with weather sporting 50+km winds and -10c temperatures. Of course as runners we make due. Your Osaka videos have been giving me some really good vibes leading up to your race. I'm really nervous about summoning my "race level intensity" it looks so impossible for me right now in my winter training kit. But it's easy to forget what a huge difference race day kit makes you feel. I love your inspire motto, it really resembles the spirit of running. The outright action of chasing dreams. Thanks for sharing your journey, even though we share our workouts on strava no one truly knows your day to day battles. It gives us all a reminder, someone else is thinking the same thing and whatever the skill level whether you consider what you're doing a success or failure the satisfaction is in getting it done.
