@@runningchannel I’ll keep it in mind for my next PR training block. Sub 3 seems far now, but I’ll get there. This got me pumped!

I’m a 53yo bloke who has no idea who is cutting onions. Bloody fantastic video and honesty Jess. So inspirational 👏👏👏

[@pjgamber]

Was so excited to see you at the Expo, i didn't hit my 4 hour goal like we talked, but still a 20 minute PR. Congrats on the race, you worked HARD.

[@merovekh]

You worked hard too! Congratulations!

[@AlbertWeijers]

Well done! It's the trick to get a PB by not too much, so the next PB is around the corner, so great work!

[@jessfurness5674]

Sooo lovely to meet you! And huge congrats on your PB 💪

[@barnabyjamespackham6772]

Get Taylor as a presenter on the running channel! Great bits of wisdom!

[@enonek2960]

I am always amazed at the amount of ENERGY Jess, displays.

[@nkosinathimahlangu7391]

Well done🎉❤. You've inspired me to believe that the sub 4:30 marathon I've been training for is achievable.

[@runningchannel]

Incredible well done!! 💪

[@FrederickScottCracknell]

you've got this! Keep training and you'll make it happen!

[@MsTrinichic]

I swear every time I watch Jess I'm crying lol. So amazing!!!

[@runningchannel]

[@chrissmyth4946]

Get way too emotional at TRC videos...Great to see people achieve goals regardless if that is a 3hr marathon or 60 min 10k

[@giannanicole1841]

This made me cry happy tears for you!

[@Jess-Rabbit]

Yes Jess!!! I am a fellow Jess who also cramped in the last mile of my marathon on Sat. I had to run through it to sprint finish and make my Boston Qualifying time by 43 seconds 😂 it hurt so bad and I passed a guy walking in those last 200 meters. The struggle is freaking real. You crushed. So proud of you!

[@almostaverageroger]

You just made me tear up Jess! Well done! Well done! Love from Manila Philippines 🎉

[@eduard05ilva]

Jess made me cry 😢 but it's happy tears... Congratulations 😀💪🏽

[@gordonkeane]

Jess - ' I dont know why im crying right now'. Me - 'Me neither, Jess, me neither'. Loved that. Congrats 🎉

[@Varsher]

Well done Jess! Wise words and I was in the same predicament too. I did the Nottingham Robin Hood Half on the same day and thought "those hills are nasty, I'll just aim for a 2h30". Without realising I started with the 2h05 pacer and I dropped back a fair bit for the first 6 or so KM. But, just like you, my legs felt so fresh that I eventually caught and passed that same pacer at the halfway mark and eventually beat the 2h goal I've had since I started my running journey last year. My previous best was a 2h09 on a flat course earlier this year. Belief and self-confidence, knowing you can do the time in training and applying it to race day. Adrenaline and the crowd really makes the difference! But I have to say, if it wasn't for everyone at The Running Channel for showing me all of your journeys, I probably would've given up already. Truly inspirational and again, amazing effort and congratulations Jess, well deserved - you smashed it!!!

[@Project.2.59.59]

Wow you absolutely smashed your goal as well, huge congrats.

[@Varsher]

@@Project.2.59.59 Thanks. I think it was one of those days where everything just "clicked" and I had a wonderful time along a gorgeous route. If no one's done the Nottingham Half yet, then I highly recommend it!

[@singwiththestars5342]

Such great advice to imagine 4 quarters in those colors. I'll use that for me.

[@pauledgar4838]

Truly inspirational.. Iam chasing the sub 3 marathon and after watching YOU i believe i can do it.. Thank you for sharing your experience 😍

[@jrochez]

What a run! What a video. This is a great reason to watch The Running Channel.

[@cliffhug79]

Got my first trail race on Saturday and I've not been able to train for nearly two weeks. I was in a pretty grim place mentally because of that but this has lifted me. I'm going to put faith all the weeks of training in the bag and give all I can. Thank you.

[@thedolenorway]

You got this! As long as you are healthy on race day you will have lost very little fitness, and have really fresh legs. Have a nice race!

[@winklertribe5268]

Congrats Jess! So happy for you!🎉

[@MelissaSco77]

OMG… so emotional watching that and was crying before you even crossed the line. Such an incredible person and you’ve inspired me to get the shoes back on and get some me time on the roads. I’ve not run all year, but know its time to get back out there after I heal from my ACL surgery ❤

[@Emil-ej5of]

Absolutely crushed it! Amazing!

[@runnerfromhel]

What a Fighter! Followed this journey from the beginning and happy I did. Deserved entry into the sub3 club. 🎉

Good job! Love it, "Believe that you can but decide that you will."

[@ClubmanGT1971]

Congratulations Jess!! That was incredibly inspiring! I could feel the cramping in that last 400m. I’m attempting my first ever full marathon in Melbourne on the weekend. I’m so incredibly nervous. I’ve followed my brilliant Runna app training plan for 20 weeks. I know I will have to fight my mind throughout the day. I’m determined to not let it beat me. I’m aiming for just under 4hrs but I know at the end of the day just finishing a marathon will be something I never thought would be possible.

[@nztoddhaskell]

Jess is such a great sport & this is such a great video! Formidable achievement! In pain she brought joy -incredibly inspiring! "Believe that you can, but decide that you will"🔥🔥🔥

[@Homobikerus]

[@darrellbenge9235]

Great run Jess. I was following your tracker on the day and the last 400m seemed to take forever as I watched the clock. Brilliant. You deserved that after putting in the hard efforts

[@mikestevenson1334]

Jess you're such an inspiration. Getting through that final 400m with a cramp shows true grit and determination. Congrats on your PB! =D

[@neildeacon3856]

Incredible, well done Jess! I’ve been inspired to set myself the challenge of going sub-3 (got 24 minutes to shave off so will take some time) - thanks for sharing your journey and showing us how it’s done.

Jess the MACHINE!!!!!

[@knightrhonda7963]

Absolutely fabulous 🤩

[@JuhaAila-jk7nk]

You're an absolute superstar! The number one battle is against your own demons and you crushed them. Also, fighting through the pain is one of those wonderfully bittersweet flavours most people simply miss out on... The sweet part of the bittersweet comes a bit after the race... Congratulations Jess!!!

[@irisr4536]

That was just brilliant, very inspiring. I knew Jess had achieved her goal before I started watching, but still I was (in my head, lol!) shouting to the tv ‘go Jess, run!’ as she was approaching the finish line. What an amazing performance!

[@Mary-kHowe]

Awesome job!! You are amazing!!

[@NachoDog3]

Way to go, Jess!!!!🏃‍♀

[@conradburdekin722]

Jess, this was amazing. Well done well done well done! I get super nervous before races and especially pb attempts. I found your whole video very relatable especially as I’m going to be trying to break 3:30 for the first time in 13 days 😳

[@DaveG207]

What I love with this channel is that even when it’s runners way beyond anything I’m capable of, it’s still relatable. Congrats Jess.

[@jonathanteppler7807]

Ran a PB this year as well, the emotions over the line were too much and I blubbed for a solid 2 minutes. There is nothing wrong with releasing months of focus and effort after it culminates into a beautiful moment. Congratulations

[@SybizBen]

Congratulations Jess!
