Well done! But you need to roll out your muscles. You can't beat them up like that and not take care of them. Diet and sleep aren't enough. But the real question is, when is your next marathon? You know you want to do it... Because there's no feeling like crossing that finish line. And trust me, it never gets old.
I rolled out my muscles twice a day. Not sure I will do another marathon, crossing the finish line wasn't the best feeling hahah everything hurt. Just glad i did it once
@@ColeHastings There's always the half-marathon... But running isn't for everyone... What is for everyone is taking care of the most important muscle, the heart.
Congratulations....I have no doubt 30 years from now you will look back on this as the crowning physical achievement of your life. I know I do. I ran the LA marathon two years in a row, with the same 4hr goal. I was 180lbs. My running posse averaged between 145-155lbs. Back then, anyone 180lbs+ were classified as "Clydesdales", a moniker I wore proudly. The key to running a marathon is having the ability for your mind to switch channels to another world so you aren't focusing on the abuse you are taking. My first year was a disaster. I got way to hopped up on energy drinks and my attention span dropped to about 5 seconds so all I could focus on was every painful step. Came in at 4:55. I was really determined the second year, skipped the energy drinks and just alternated between water and Gatorade at the aid stations. Got to mile 23 at 3:30....all I had to do was three ten-minute miles and 4 hours was mine. I then felt a sharp twinge in my right the hamstring, and I had to walk the last 3 miles, finishing at 4:20. Not bad for a Clydesdale. Each marathon is different. For LA mile 23 is the wall. I joke to this day that mile 23 was like a Civil War field hospital....the streets were littered with body parts. An arm over here, a leg over there. Everyone falls apart there. I saw runners just sitting on the curb with their face in their hands. One of my buds went into a local store and bought a banana before proceeding on. Everyone does whatever they can to finish those last three miles. Great video, congratulations, and thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Running is wild cus you HAVE to be on your A game. Any little change in diet, water intake, etc makes a huge difference even on short runs. GOOD fuckin shit bro. This is impressive no matter how you look at it🙌🏽🙌🏽
It’s all about money today. If you want to hang out with friends, you need money. To earn money, you work. Ironically that leaves small time to enjoy life. Even when you work hard, you still cannot afford many things. Internet gives many opportunities but that also means u compete with so many people.
Nothing really makes me happy anymore. If it wasn’t for my mom I’d just go back to drugs and alcohol until life was over. And not everyone can just create their own happiness. You have survival bias which basically says “if I can do it anyone can” when actually a very small percentage of people are able to do it. People sit at the computer for 10 hours BECAUSE they feel depressed and empty. It’s not “simple problem simple fix.” This is nonsense.
So cool man! 35yo man here. Never really ran in my life but decided to start this year. Im still only barely up to 1 mile at a time at a very slow jog but last year i couldnt jog more than 150 ft.
Things have been good for me. Mid 30s with a wife and 3 children, small house in the countryside i bought at the beginning of the pandemic and fixed up myself. Having children and a spouse does wonders. A lot of people are fatalistic doomers. I remember feeling that way right before my oldest was conceived in 2013 then it was like i got a new reason for life. I never wanted kids, was nihilistic, atheist, lame, etc.. turns out the things that have motivated humans for thousands of years are beneficial.. who'd have thought
good shit man, running has always been a huge part of my life and is something I always return to. marathons are no joke and you crossed that finish line at a really solid time! the mental benefits are just insane. as a former hard drug addict, the impact running has on my mental after a long run is eerily similar to that of a drug high. lets go Cole
How can you make this video while at the same time completely ignoring one of the only useful dating manuals in existence? Models by Mark Manson? It's the direct opposite of RSD-style dating advice that proliferates the internet.
It's not a usual topic that my audience watches, or that i make. RU-vid usually pushes it out to a different audience later down the line if it sees it as a good video. Gotta be patient
Time has genuinely sped up. NASA admits it but it's by much more than they said and lots of spiritualists are saying we are in a cycle to speed up evolution
The covid nonsense was a surreal experience for me. Nothing changed in my life. I still had to go to work everyday and do my job while everyone else stayed home. I still had to go shopping for supplies for work and the stores were packed, even though supposedly everyone was at home. I don't really have any friends so there was no effect on my social life. Now I am surrounded by people who complain about having lost years to some shutdown that I never experienced. It's surreal to live in a society where I am basically unaffected by it as if I were a ghost.
