RUNNING THE LONDON MARATHON!

[@RyanCondon]

I recently ran my first 100k race along the Thames. If you enjoyed this video, watch this one... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqXTlaqEfZl5htksi=d6zy7WDgwF7-jJM_ ...I can't believe how far I've come since TLM.

[@mlevy2934]

Ryan you did amazing actually brought a tear to my eye! You are incredible! Never stop. X

[@RyanCondon]

Thank you ❤️. I'll try not to stop 😅

[@michaelward266]

I always watch youtube race videos for pre race motivation and this is exactly what I needed before my 3rd London marathon and my 19th and last marathon (probably) it doesn't get any less nervy and I am feeling it atm. This is one of the best videos I have watched over the years, many congratulations Ryan great video, great achievement and no doubt you will be out there this Sunday too...keep it going!

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks for the compliment Michael. Congratulations on all your Marathon achievements. 19 in total is an amazing accomplishment and one I'd aspire to. Good luck on Sunday, I'll be rooting for you 💪

[@trailrunningphil]

A cracking video mate. I love the way you use music. You have a great skill of using exactly whats needed. Its amazing to see your physical transformation since you started running! If you keep this up, what will you look like when your my age?!!!

[@RyanCondon]

Haha thanks Phil ❤️

[@James-Henderson]

Just seen this for the first time. This is what the London marathon is all about. Congratulations. It was my first London last year and i ran for the North Devon Hospice. I was tearful as I crossed Tower bridge.

[@RyanCondon]

Good for you James. Sounds like a very worthy cause. I was too exhausted to cry but Tower Bridge was definitely an emotional moment.

[@jigneshchauhan4423]

You’ve come such a long way pal, so proud. Hope you’re still running 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

[@philipklink5406]

Congratulations Ryan. Such an inspirational journey. Let this be the start of something life changing. You have the determination to take on any challenge that life can throw at you. Well done mate. What's next? Cheers! Phil from Sydney

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks Phil. The past two years have already been life changing :) Not sure what challenges are next. I've got a few ideas. Goodonya for watching.

[@philipklink5406]

[@neilbradford9752]

Nice work Ryan, hope your going to now push on and book some other events , thank you for sharing your journey 👍

[@TheDeterminedRunner]

A great video explaining your running history, love the fact you even included the house you were brought up in! A big well done to you Ryan for sticking with the training & getting to enjoy the atmosphere of the London marathon & of course for finishing it!!👍🏃

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks Determined Runner. I appreciate that. Yes, alot more I wanted to share but too much for one vid however I wanted to get across that this wasn't just any race for me. It was huge for me to be able to run it. I hope that came across.

[@radoslaviliev7747]

Well done Ryan! I don't know how I got to your video, but glad I watched it. It was heartwarming, emotional, motivational and what you have achieved is incredible! Finishing a marathon by itself is amazing feat and looking at where you started I can imagine this is even more rewarding. Your feat gives me hope I can one day do the same.

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks Radoslav! Appreciate you watching and commenting. Sounds like a cliché but the hardest bit is deciding to do it and committing to something. The Training was the fun bit. Goodluck and don't give up!

[@JohnCx]

This is incredibly inspirational.... 1 year of hard work resulting in the London Marathon... it's the days, the miles, the mornings, the weekends, that nobody else sees, all that constant discipline to get after it makes the success even sweeter.... amazing stuff!! 💪💪

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks John. Im pleased you enjoyed it.

[@kofuzi]

Great video. Well done!

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks Kofuzi

[@marcwilding4804]

Ryan, I absolutely loved that. Genuinely brought a tear to my eye. Your Grandparents would be so proud and you should be too! I ran 2021 (had forgotten about that shower until I watched this - I’d just finished then and it wiped me out!) am running 2024 now too and blogging it. I have some pretty ruined knees so doing it for all of the people who may be worried about injuries keeping them from doing it!

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks Marc! 🙌 Congrats on doing it in 2021 and running it again next year! Amazing thing to be doing, good for you. I applied but got rejected, I'll apply again for 2025. Maybe see you one day on the course. Good luck!

[@stevemarsh1568]

That was exactly the video I needed to see after signing up. I run halves regularly and I was feeling overwhelmed with this target. You made it look so fun by not overthinking it, not obsessing over all the latest gear, and being planned to within an inch of its life. I feel ready to start training now. Thank you and well done!

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks for the comment Steve. I've come a long way since making this video and you're right, sometimes over-planning and over-thinking is worse than having no plan. The best thing about running is that is accessible to all as a sport and its almost free. Good luck in your training.

[@yellowfolder]

Fantastically edited video and great journey. The KZbin algorithm has delivered!

[@RyanCondon]

Thank you YellowFolder. Pleased you liked it and YT are being kind 👍

[@markg99]

Another stunning video, Ryan. I really don't know how you do it. Very inspiring. Your story and the effort you put in to get to run the marathon is really impressive, and you presented it brilliantly.

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks Mark. I have a love for running and editing so it fits nicely. I need to run another marathon as I enjoyed this! I really appreciate this comment.

[@lisagorsuch7140]

I have run 10 marathons and will be running my first London in 2022. This is the best video I have seen that embodies the ENTIRE marathon journey. The race is the pinnacle but all the runs leading up to it ..... in the rain, the snow, the heat, etc. is truly the amazing part! Congrats to you!

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks Lisa. Best thing I've ever done. Congrats on your achievements and good luck for October 👌

[@alyxandrasherwood1176]

I've heard Brighton is a good one. Good luck 👍

[@srj228]

Absolutely brilliant. I loved every minute of this video, and I have to admit I teared up when your daughter put your medal around your neck. I will be running this year for Children with Cancer UK in honor of my now 5-yr old son overcoming cancer when he was 3. I will look forward to him hanging the medal around my neck in 50 days.

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks for the watch anf the kind comment Sean. What a great reason to run it, inspirational 🙌 It's a special day, just go out and enjoy it. Good luck to you and your son on the day, enjoy the medal ceremony with your son ❤️🏅

[@L0cket1977]

I know this was a while ago now but only just found your channel so looking back at some of your wonderful journey. That video made me so emotional but in a really good way ❤ Absolutely love that you asked your children to put your medal on, what a top Dad. Well Done Ryan 🙌

Thanks Lucy. This is an oldie but a goodie. 🙌 I've now done so many events that the girls just put the medal around their own neck. 🎖️😅 I'm pleased you like the vid.

Great video! Inspired me to think maybe I can do it too! Have done a few half marathons and considering the full next year. Well done and keep running 🏃‍♂️ 👍🏻

What a wonderful video - well done Ryan, superb effort. Can I ask a quick question, I'm running my first London marathon in October, what is in the bag at the end? Well done mate

[@RyanCondon]

Thanks Adam. The bag at the end is your kit bag, you can put whatever you want in it for you to use at the finish line. Because of the Pandemic we had to drop it at the Expo and it was taken for us to the finish line to collect. In previous years they dropped it at the start line when they arrived. I put more than I needed in it. My advice, just pack what you'll actually need like food :) Good luck, it's a great event.
