Haha Mike, I swear I wasn’t lying when we crossed paths at mile 23 :D Love this honest recap with the “I can, I will” whispers. Marathons are hard and you really gave it your everything, proud of you! See you in Chicago in October 🏃‍♂️🔥🔥🚀

@Floris It was so cool to see you and coach Jimmy running and helping Mike when he needed the most during the race. I need those voices for my next race. "You can! You will!" "I can! I will!"

I have been there myself. Something happens during the Marathon when you are totally spent. Your mind plays tricks on you with irrational negativity. I recall missing a mile pace and getting a surge of negativity. In my mind I assumed my goal was way out the window immediately. My mind was telling me the math just does not add up anymore so why push it? Just jog it in. In hindsight, the math did add up and I just needed to keep pushing through. It's almost like your mind is looking for any reason to quit and then it delivers it to you with bad math. 😀

Congratulations Michael! …and welcome to the 3hr-even-plus-change crew. I feel It’s a team of mixed feelings right? My last Marathon was 3:00:14, though I feel proud I PR’d, I’m struggling of “what if I…”? I know we all itching to leave this group. One day it will happen! Man how I wished Floris and Coach was with me on my last miles! Your last miles were really inspiring to see! Again Congratulations!🎉 👊👍

Outstanding Mike and so close to your goal but a PR non the less so well done. Berlin has to be on your radar it’s a fantastic marathon and if you can run that hilly course in LA in just over 3 you’ll do Berlin under 3 easy. Great work 👏Ian 🇬🇧

@kofuzi the LA MARATHON VLOGS MADE ME CRY! i can see how much you wanna get that sub 3! The emotions was pure! And runners would feel that too by just watching it! I remember doing my first marathon the last 5k was the hardest but it was all about the mindset! You had that plus the help of Coach Jimmy and Floris! They are amazing too! Your LA MARATHON VLOG just gave me an extra boost of motivation to train harder for my Calgary Marathon this May!

I enjoyed your race video, but I really enjoyed this. So honest and you can tell just how much effort you were putting in those last few miles. Sounds like you were let down a little by tech and that brutal gradual incline at the later stage of the race. Just awesome man 👏👏

This is really amazing and inspiring Mike! Thought this was a mind game especially the last couple of miles in your race struggling whether you can hit your goal! Whispering “I can, I will” did really help and this gonna be in my book for whatever I need to pursue for in the near future. Congratulations again 👏🤘👍💪🏼!!
