I love your video and currently trying to run all 50 states also but just the half marathons! Congratulations on your run and I will be running the Detroit half marathon in 2024. So excited. I hope you don't mind me asking but how to carry your GoPro for filming the whole time? Just with your hand or do you use a stick or chesty? I'm wanting to use my GoPro but find it would be difficult to hold the whole 13 miles to film. Im not sure what the best option would be. Thanks for your help:)

Congratulations on the improvement from Chicago. I ran ACM in 2018. As far as nutrition, I eat nothing during races. My stomach just stops working during the race. Breakfast 2 hours before race is 4 waffles. Chinese buffet the night before. Golden Corral works ok too. I don't bonk anymore.

That's so interesting! As a slower marathoner I feel like I wouldn't be able to go the entire race without eating something!

Hi Riley! I saw you in another person’s RU-vid channel who was videoing this race too!!! His channel is called Clint is a Tall Runner and you’re right behind him during the national anthem 😂 My wife and I just finished running the Grand Teton’s Half Marathon as well as Coeur d’Alene Idaho the weekend before. If you haven’t run Idaho yet, check this one out…beautiful course…happy running in the heat 😂

Ahhh that’s so funny! I found his channel when looking for previous years vlogs for this race! I’ll have to go watch his recap from this year 😂 That’s so amazing! Coeur d’Alene is 100% on my list for Idaho! I drove through that area and did a hike out there the same week I did the Missoula Marathon and knew I had to come back as soon as I learned they had a marathon!

Congrats! Question how do you fund these races flights etc. do not mean to pry. Im from the boston area as well.
@rmfickfack
@rmfickfack Месяц назад
No worries! I work full time and all travel is self funded. I do have an airline credit card so occasionally I can book flights with points. I used to be an ambassador for BibRave and they would cover the costs of some of my race registrations - any race you’re seeing me wearing orange is typically a BibRave race and they covered the registration costs in exchange for a review! Everything else is covered by me. You can travel on the cheap if you’re smart about it, don’t mind budget flights/hotels, and split costs with friends where you can 😊 Maybe I’ll do a race travel budgeting video in the future!

Ahhh good luck! You'll enjoy it! I got my Garmin bands from Amazon. There's a pack of about 10 different colors that I got. Since there's a top band and bottom band, you can mix and match colors :)

Great video--I've run the race in 2016, 2018, and 2020--sad I missed out on 2022 because I really love that finishers medal! One small thing. The name of the town at the start of the race is pronounced pass "chris chee ann" not "chris chin." It's a weird pronunciation and at least you said "Biloxi" correctly, which definitely is a much bigger faux pas!

I highly recommend it. Hang in there - you’re an amazing person and will get through this. Just a little bit at a time.

Even though you're burned out, you're still a rockstar on these runs! Brett might cringe that I'm suggesting this, but I have found strength training so much more doable when I started using RU-vid videos! It helps me because it's a set amount of time to do the workout. When I'm just given exercises I dilly-dally because I hate it 😂 the videos keep me moving. I love Caroline Girvan, Sydney Cummings, Heather Robertson, and Nourish Move Love.
