This has to be one of the best vlog marathons videos ive ever seen, not gonna lie lol. That Fatality was HILARIOUS lol. Man you definitely need more vids.

[@Josh.In.Motion]

Haha I didn’t even realize I say that so often until I was editing this video. I’m happy you enjoy it!! I have a couple more marathons planned for later this year!! Stay tuned for more content!!

[@jaynolay]

Lmao the editing was hilarious! Great job!

[@timtrenholm3698]

Your first marathon is always such a huge thrill. Know what's even better? Your 2nd marathon once you really know what it's all about and train the way you wish you had trained the first time!

[@Josh.In.Motion]

I’m on my 4th marathon and I am still figuring all that stuff out.. I did finally get my recovery dialed in …this was my first training without some Nagging injury.

[@zaximusdecimusmeridius]

Finally! A big guy like me running a marathon. I'm 6’5, 250. It's frustrating to watch the tiny runners make it look easy sometimes. Way to make it look good for big people!

[@Josh.In.Motion]

Ayo! Gotta represent 💪🏾!!! Im 6ft around 205lbs at the moment. Imma keep lifting and keep running so hopefully I can get faster times without losing to much size. Stay tuned bro!

[@balrajsingh776]

Well done bro, fantastic achievement, you should be very proud of yourself.... I ran the 2023 Rome marathon too :) Running towards the Vatican was surreal, right!? I enjoyed Rome marathon, I thought the organisation was a little chaotic (I started in the second wave), and felt I had to spend so much time trying to overtake people from the first wave... it was the first time I saw a setup like that, where each wave had fast runners, all the way to 6'hr finishers; this then impacts the next wave. But I ended up taking it easy, finished well, saved my legs. The course seemed longer than what my satnav watch, but that often happens. In any case, very happy with that marathon. I have ran a few marathons now, I would say my favorite of all (organisation, course, support, size of the field) is probably Barcelona.

[@Josh.In.Motion]

Thanks for the love!! Yes I agree the start was very disorganized. I spent the first 10km in super congested crowds. (This may have been good to keep my pace slow in the beginning to be honest.) What marathon are you thinking about doing next? Funny enough I am actually in Barcelona as we speak! I will have to run this city at some point!!!

[@balrajsingh776]

@@Josh.In.Motion Yes! Spot on, the first slow 10k enabled me to finish off strong, and save my legs. Next stop is Belgrade, Serbia (23rs April), then later this year, Mexico City (Aug 27th), a week later my plan is Medellin, Colombia.... then possibly another 7 weeks later, back in Mexico. It's purely for the love of running and the peace of mind now. Do you have your next one booked up?

[@Josh.In.Motion]

I wanna be like you!! that dope. Mexico City sounds wild, Im out of breath just thinking about the elevation there. I am booked for 45k run thru wine country in Umbria Italy in October, Im looking to add one more full marathon around August, early September if possible.

@@Josh.In.Motion :) I arrive into CDMX 10days odd before the marathon, and that’s plenty of time to acclimatise. I am from the UK, and have an extended period of leave at that time.

im watching as many of these type of videos as possible because im 14 yrs old and planning to run my first marathon in october, the plan originally was to run a 3:45 but watching this gives me second thoughts about my pace. My question being, how many kilometers were you able to run after being mentally and physically drained?

[@Josh.In.Motion]

I see the LA logo!! That where I grew up! Which marathon you looking at? I would recommend that if it’s your first marathon just plan on finishing. Use that time to set a goal for the next one. Everyone is different but most people hit “the wall” around Mile 20 or 32km. You really gotta dig deep for the last 6 miles.

How long it did take you get your runcard? did you need to submit a medical form?

[@Josh.In.Motion]

Yo nick! I didn’t have to get a RUNCARD or get a medical certificate for this. I just signed up as a foreign athlete and I just had to sign a liability wavier at packet pickup. Now I have a runcard it was easy to signup for online if you are here in Italy a Certificato Sportivo Agnostico (competitive medical sports cert) is required to validate that runcard for most events longer 30k I believe.

How was the course tho? thinking about running Rome Marathon next year

[@Josh.In.Motion]

It was pretty flat overall…there are a couple mile of cobble stones that are kinda rough on the legs. But it is a good race for sure!! I have done only one other marathon so I don’t have a lot of reference.
