I Ran the 2024 Chicago Marathon!

[@Nodde1991]

Runs a marathon major, still finds time to upload 1.22hr vlog, absolute legend 🙏

[@brianway4240]

Agree. Where are Floberg, Sweat Elite Matt, or any other vlogger? The post-race show could be a week later.

[@BiDiNFitness]

[@NINJAxKIDxQK]

He ran a marathon earlier and proceeded to drop a banger His hard work didn’t go unnoticed You’re an inspiration to many

[@Not_So_Common_Sense]

There's no secret recipe. No shortcuts. Just hard work day in/day out. No excuses. You put in the work. And the end result is just the culmination of this. Great job Yowana!

[@NathanPhua]

Putting in the work is the only way 💯

[@TheFODRunner]

Endorphin elites for the win... I need to get another pair! Great job on the run out there, 2:39 is no joke! Good on you!

[@ryanmiskin8925]

how would you compare them to the EP2 or EP3?

[@TheFODRunner]

@@ryanmiskin8925 the elites are far more aggressive… a bigger rocker at the end.,, firmer foam but lighter… the transition between each stride is probably the smoothest I’ve ever experienced

[@chefbuff]

Congrats! The conditions were perfect. I was out there putting in work myself, smashed my time goal with a 3:28 finish. New goal is to push for sub 3hrs

[@bobbyheylmun]

Ayyy congrats brother! Just ran Chicago as my first ever marathon and got a 2:59 was checking to see how crazy your time was gonna be. Happy all your miles paid off big time

[@Carlosediaz543]

I can’t tell u how you’ve absolutely changed running for me. The intention,purpose and intent you carry yourself with is beyond inspirational. So proud of you and this performance really tops it all off. Surge and settle love it. I really love those like none gps old watch that just have a stop watch. Would be cool to use that the gps doesn’t connect

[@DoctorsofRunning]

Way to go!

[@benbauer7866]

Doctors of Running DEFINITELY keeps the mustard on the dog

[@supwell]

Thank you! Btw I hope you know our donut mile kicked off this training block 💪🏽 😂

[@TimGrose]

Well done! I thought you might be on for a big PR after all those 100+ mile weeks but to actually do so is great. Look forward to seeing how much more you can take off.

[@justanoldfashionedrunner605]

within the next 5 years 17 minutes or more.....if he decides to do so.......olympic qualifyier optional.....no limits in sight

[@supwell]

Thank you Tim! 🙌🏽 I really appreciate you featuring me in your video and highlighting my big workouts. It was cool to hear your thoughts on different training methods - it would be awesome to see a breakdown of your past training leading in your 2:30 PR and big half PR

[@TimGrose]

@@supwell thanks appreciated! I did do a video on my training for my marathons years ago when I had about 6 subs so might be worth dusting it off and doing it again more "in the style" of my Chicago one. Spoiler alert it was about 80 miles per week and, like you, I always saw some value in going over 26.2 in the odd training run. One big difference to now is that it never occurred to me do intervals in long runs so if I did MP it was say 10 miles in 60 mins with only a token mile or so warm up and down when I was in that sort of shape. All of my long runs were "time on feet" largely as I tended to do those MP runs on Saturdays then the long runs were already on tired legs the day after but I did think that aligned fairly well with fatigue deep into the race.

[@pearsbears]

This is absolutely wholesome and a banger!! Congratulations! All the hard work, dedication and the relentless grind pays off. You continue to inspire me and help me realize to keep chugging!! I started my journey because of your videos; I know I’ll be here one day.

[@JoshThrives]

Saw you at the final turn and yelled HOBBY JOGGER! Congrats :) you inspire me to be consistent

[@supwell]

Thanks for the support out there! 🙌🏽

[@baandinos]

yo. just wanted to say i picked up running couple months ago and seeing people’s progress, including yours, pushes me to keep going. im a long way from doing a marathon but i got a 5k coming up next week. up your best!

[@RohanHammett]

Great run-such well deserved success! Shout out to support team Charlie - successful endurance running is definitely a team sport, and you have an amazing team! Looking forward to the Supwell kitchen cookbook next. Congratulations Family Wamala!

[@Crose46]

Congrats man you're a huge inspiration to so many

[@andydeal]

My biggest takeaway is that you’re only 25-29. Not that you look old but you are the most disciplined 2X yr old I think I’ve ever seen. I can’t wait to see what you do in the future! I love the post race breakdown on the walk home from the race. It’s cool to hear your thoughts right after the race and your wife’s thoughts from a spectator’s pov.

[@carlysmith1689]

Congrats Yowana!, you so inspire my running journey, started running at 55, now 58, just medaled my first 5k and have some great shoes in my stable thanks to your Supwell advice, still going but may never get a sub 30 5k, but as long as I’m out there and finishing , the journey is worth the work, keep that mustard on that dog!

[@smagic614]

Woo-hoo, another marathon PR in the books, congrats Yowana! And let's not forget the team (55:54). You have so much to be grateful for. 🥳🙏

[@enjaa]

Congrats on the great race! Just ran my second marathon in the elites and hit 2:59!

[@supwell]

Congrats! 🙌🏽

[@ActiveKing916]

Absolute beast! Typical video with some cars and trucks interrupting the train of thought lol. Inspiring and motivating to all the hobby joggers. BANG!

[@jason.rams4]

Congratulations on not just your time but your effort and your grind! You are unmatched! I know you said you don't like running marathons but I do hope to see you out there more as I believe one day you can line up with the elite crowd!

[@TolunayOrkun]

Congratulations! 2:39:00 is fantastic! Well deserving after so many monster weeks that I cannot imagine many could pull off without getting injured. 👏👏👏

[@tomlin4996]

32:00 even though you say your first half was "slow" and "sluggish", it allowed you to run a negative split: 1:19:59 - 1:19:01. The execution was spot on! 👏

[@jardesto]

Man I think the only thing that could make me okay with my PR marathon data getting deleted…would be if I could run a sub-2:40 marathon! Way to go!

[@tomrichardson5433]

Great video, the chill music interlude after the halfway segment is excellent. I ran in corral G. My race day started poorly, as my throat was hurting, and I was obsessing about whether it was illness, or just too much talking on Saturday. I bought a thermometer at 6am when Mariano’s opened. 97.6 and no other symptoms, so the race was a go. Eggo’s and maple syrup for pre-race meal. I ran conservatively to start, which I did not do at my first Chicago. I hit the half marathon at 1:54:06, on pace for a BQ but less than two minutes margin. I focused on doing a negative split. The 60 mile weeks paid off. I felt the best I’ve ever felt at 20 miles, three of my four fastest 5K splits were in the second half, and I negative split by 38 seconds. The clouds were welcome for keeping things cooler, and the crowds were great. Broadway was exceptionally loud and all cheering, no drums etc. I’m not surprised by your time, after all the work you put in. Your dedication inspired me and a lot of others I am sure. Congratulations!

[@charlestyoung]

Congratulations! The work ethic is inspirational.

[@B.Wise.B.Running]

Super happy for you man! Getting your goal time is an awesome accomplishment . Im training to go sub 3 in the spring time. Taking the fall off with baby on the way any minute and dealing with an injury but you’re inspiring me to grind hard this fall and winter to get my goal time !

[@lindacronise5613]

Congrats Yowanna! You ran a fantastic race! This was a great video!

[@brittonknaphus1425]

Well done! I ran my first half over the weekend, it was brutal. I need a hobby jogger cap!

[@gtromble]

Congratulations on the PR and on such great execution of your plan! You likely won the cutest baby at the marathon award too.

[@ElijahHerringtonXC]

Following your journey has been awesome, congratulations bro

[@ItsaNoah]

Race day kit was a hilarious segment, that lock in part is insane, sometimes I try locking in for swim meets just turn on the highest anc on my earbuds and either play white girl motivational music or sad rap or nostalgia, it puts you in a different mood but completely locked in, it also helps to think who you are doing this for, I race for my friends, family, and for the lord, and it feels like 55:54 might be your motivation or just to better yourself so many good ways to lock in

[@JohnnyG944]

You're a real deal man, congratulations keep it up 💪🏼

[@bboles10]

This video really motivated me to put in more work. Thank You!

Congrats Yowana, I made my marathon debut at Chicago and squeezed in a sub 3 at 2:59:49. I'm beyond elated right now. Like you, I debated on whether I should run in the Endorphin Elites or the Cloudboom Strikes, and went with the Strikes instead

[@supwell]

That's awesome! Congrats on the sub 3. I hope you enjoyed yourself - it was beautiful day for running and celebrating 😊

[@BroccLeeAV]

I'm the one who gave you comment kudos on Strava with the purple road bike and just wanted to bring up that since you were chipped for the Chicago marathon, you can actually give your route chip information to Strava and they'll add it in as an activity. That way you'll have your run and pr on Strava. You put in the effort way of the ninja, don't lose your Strava glory for us to basque in.
