@hagosmesgoun7195 Месяц назад

That’s very nice of you mate

@strongheartfitness Месяц назад

I usually sleep as much as possible on Thursday and Friday before the marathon(usually on Sunday) because I’m sometimes nervous Saturday night. I consume electrolytes based on heat and humidity. I try to run even splits every mile. And, like you said we need to consume so many more calories than the normal. I’m in the 60 grams/ hour range. I’ll try the 90g/hr range at my next marathon. And I’ll attach my electrolyte caps to my energy gels! Thank you Floris! And congratulations on a job well done at London! You finished strong!

@jjndz3782 Месяц назад

Lesson from this video: Know the course. I have subscribed. I am in South Africa though, hoping to win the running shoes.

@markoljustina Месяц назад

Pacing, i start with a goal pace instead little bit slower; i run a PB but not a goal time and salt pill strategy is interesting to me

@MrXrisd01 Месяц назад

"why is it, after running probably after 50 marathons I still get emotional" I teared up with you and I normally don't do that, but I know how much that moment means to people after all that training. GREAT JOB!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Awww, appreciate that, surely feels emotional even editing some of that. Appreciate you!

@tomassvitorka Месяц назад

“This is hard, and I do hard things” LOVE THIS!!! ❤ Amazing video. Congrats. So great to catch up here in London. Hope we can meet again.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

So great to hang in London Tomas. Keep doing what you're doing my friend. Well done on your own Marathon last weekend. Let's stay in touch. Cheers

@vindonald-trinh1848 29 дней назад

same 👍👍

@Sharshock Месяц назад

Holy shit, I got emotional and it's not even me running. Congratulations, super well done and what a piece of art this video is. SO INSPIRING!!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Aww appreciate you! 🙏🙌

@garrettjohannsen4586 16 часов назад

My biggest takeaway was to take in the atmosphere and enjoy all the work you’ve put in 🎉 training for my first marathon and this is exactly what I needed!!

@jh230377 14 дней назад

‘When it gets hard dig deep.’ Awesome time dude. Doing a Marathon next year. 👍

@jozefmatyasek Месяц назад

Floris you have gift to give exactly information runners need! And authentic ! Love it!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Appreciate you Jozef. Let's swim, climb and ice bath soon!

@Cookefan59 6 дней назад

I have a friend who got his wheel last year in Tokyo and this marathon also happened to be recognized by Guinness World Records as the most people obtaining that wheel of medals. I just mentioned this because you touched my heart with your words of appreciation to your family. You really had me going as well. Im preparing for my first marathon in the midst of some chaotic but manageable issues at the same time. Congratulations on your great accomplishment and thank you so much for sharing your experience, wisdom and compassion.

@taekwondoshock 8 дней назад

"It doesn't matter" you inspired me to start running. Started low heart rate training may 1st 2024 making progress but that doesn't matter, I'm going to keep running like no one is watching. Cheers

@AndyWebb Месяц назад

The best mantra I've heard lately is "win or learn." It's easy to get stuck in your own head when a training run doesn't go to plan, but even a 'failure' is experience gained that can make you stronger when the next run starts. Amazing run, congrats!!

@FlorisGierman 25 дней назад

spot on, I love that!

@UsedToBeFriend Месяц назад

running relaxed is the best point for me - once i start to think about metrics and watch the clock, my hb goes up. just relax and run through your body checking whether you're overly tense somewhere

@koinimam4627 Месяц назад

That’s I fully agree

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Spot on, being able to run relaxed, present in the moment, things will flow well.

@steffenelias6749 27 дней назад

"Run in the moment, run relaxed." Awesome advice which can be used in training or in a race. Well done Floris..

@vovesvovesator8766 Месяц назад

"Let's go, let's finish strong!" That is the best 🤗 And my personal favorite quote is: "I'm running with myself - for myself 🥰 " 😊 Sending love from the Czech Republic ❤

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Love that quote as well. Much love right back at you from Los Angeles. Cheers

@kellyzhu5889 Месяц назад

“”focus on 1 mile at the time “ I love it 😊

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Great takeaway right there!

@dresden_slowjog Месяц назад

"Run the mile you're in" is Sarah Hartley's (TRC) motto and I love it

@ArunR-sai 17 дней назад

So happy to have met you Floris. My biggest lesson was Dont try anything new on Raceday 😀 Your emotions are so real at the end of the race and that's what makes you a genuine individual who speaks from the heart❤

@FlorisGierman 10 дней назад

Absolutely likewise Arun, appreciate you! Marathons can surely be an emotional rollercoaster in a good way :) ❤

@nastasiospapadopoulos2015 24 дня назад

Floris you served us the experience at its best. First time getting emotional on others' people effort. You are great. Thank you for inspiring us!

@ddelany9921 22 дня назад

Floris, my favourite lesson/takeaway from your London Marathon: take in plenty of gels/nutrition. I've just finished Boston, April 2024, and had to eat a few extra gels on the back half (Maurten Gels supplied) that I hadn't tried before! I have a pretty good stomach so wasn't a problem, fortunately. Thank you for your truly inspiring videos.

@jimhollister8344 Месяц назад

Great video - I'm training for my first marathon (Grandma's in Duluth, MN) at age 63. Taking fuel early and consistently throughout the run. That's my takeaway for today -thanks!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Love it, you’ll ALWAYS remember your first marathon, enjoy!

@titosinha Месяц назад

YEAH, Floris, you inspire and we all learn from your teachings and sharing your raw experiences, thank you so much! "You are a CHAMPION in our book!" 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Love your positive vibes as always Tito. Thanks and cheers

@John-wd5bu Месяц назад

“Let’s go, let’s finish strong.” Good reminder for when it gets harder later on. Great video man!!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Whatever it takes to get to that finish line John! Thanks so much

@marlenatopple8472 Месяц назад

You really captured the excitement, emotion and challenge of the London marathon. Gripping and stirring stuff! Thanks and congrats!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Glad you can appreciate the video, London surely had a crazy excited crowd!

@murielk1947 Месяц назад

I loved the tip on taping a salt pill to the gel. Also that emotion at the end of the marathon is just so touching! Congratulations on a great race.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

The little details can help make race day easier. 🙏

@Rls2236 25 дней назад

Love the tip about taping a salt pill to the gels - so simple and yet ingenious!

@hassanullah1997 Месяц назад

My favourite piece of advice from this video: run relaxed and focus on breathing. Sounds so counter intuitive when you’re doing something so stressful but Marathons are all about the mind and this piece of advise encapsulates perfectly! Congrats on all 6 majors Floris, love your channel :)

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Great takeaways right there Hassan. It's indeed counter intuitive but when we run relaxed, we use less energy to move forward. Enjoy your running journey!

@AntonyPeach 25 дней назад

I got emotional watching that Floris. Amazing. 🙌🏼

@newsoap4564 Месяц назад

Congrats on the 6 star medal!!! 1 mile at a time! Always celebrate your achievement and training accomplishments!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Spot on and THANK YOU!

@rajatsehgal6534 Месяц назад

Congratulations Floris 🎉 so impressed by your humility and depth of knowledge and experience in running. From little tips to grab water at the end or to reach early to avoid the long queues, to nutrition as you go, everything counts. To top it all the best tip - when you are feeling lost or low, to think about the loved ones, the people who matter and must have made sacrifices at some stage to see you achieve what you have is priceless 👌👏🏽👏🏽 Highlighting a time stamp will not be sufficient. Hats off to actually record your 6th major, finishing strong 💪 . Wow!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Awww thanks so much, glad you can appreciate this video! Thanks and cheers

@Weichi928 Месяц назад

Even before you showed us your stats (splits), I could tell that your pacing was excellent, from very early on, and maintained throughout. Not so easy with the excitement and all. The emotion and the crying after, I believe, is part of the experience (unless one is a pro, where it is just another race). To me a marathon brings one beyond’, and the resulting emotion, with all the training, with all the support from the family, is priceless. Cry, baby, cry. There is chaos in the world, and for a few hours, with a few thousand others, a runnner’s communion has happened. One with the Universe. Apologies for the nostalgia. Well done mentor. Thx for sharing the moment.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Wow such a well thought out comment. Indeed marathons surely bring a lot of different emotions up in a beautiful way. All the best on your running journey!

@jrochez Месяц назад

Woo Hoo, @FlorisGierman. Congrats on 6!! #personalbest! "Get to the start line early!" First marathon in less than one week for me. Branding that start line comment in my head.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

You will ALWAYS remember your first marathon, enjoy, let me know how it goes!

@swenderich Месяц назад

Congrats on your sixth Star Floris, huge achievement! Many great lessons here, great advice. Hard to pick a favourite. For me personally, I have most dialled in and the hardest is the starting out conservatively. It's so hard to not get carried away because of how easy it feels, by the energy of the crowds, to get lured into the trap of 'banking some time' only to loose double that time in the second half of the race... I haven't mastered the negative split on the marathon yet! On tip for something that gives me a lot of piece of mind on raceday: I always try to do a dry run of the pre-race routine (walking to the bagage drop of, walking to the start, knowing where the toilettes are, visualising where I'll do the warmup, etc) the day before. Come race day, I know exactly what to do and how long everything will take. Cheers from the Netherlands!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Great call on the pre-race routine! Groetjes terug uit Los Angeles. Cheers

@peridion5585 Месяц назад

My favorite comment you made was to stay in the moment and be relaxed when it gets difficult towards the end of the marathon. This advice applies to the daily challenges we each face in this life. Life gets challenging, but we can focus on our breathing, calming ourselves in the moment. Thank you for your inspiration.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Spot on about this applying to daily life too!

@rachaeladeniran Месяц назад

Smiles for miles - best takeaway, lol! The entire video was so inspiring.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

So important we find joy in the training and racing journey. Glad you enjoyed it Rachael!

@nutricionam9453 Месяц назад

Think in the people😢that supported your race ❤️ that is my lesson. i Ran Leipzig Marathon on Sunday, i also cried. 4 hours and 25 min. I did Frankfurt before that in 5 hours 20. Love your content

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Yes marathons can be such a beautiful rollercoaster of an event. Well done on your marathon journey. Thank you, that means a lot.

@joelm7208 Месяц назад

I appreciated the reminder to not try new things on race day. Thanks for the really encouraging video.

@JPRESA Месяц назад

LET"S GOOOOO!!!! Congrats Floris!! Well done!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

LET'S DO THIS!! Thanks @JPRESA Appreciate you

@merko3043 Месяц назад

Well done Floris, I like that "think about the next km", not about how much is left till the finish.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Yes, running marathons is such a mental game!

@LuisBecerra79 Месяц назад

Congrats on the 6 🏅 ‘s 👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼. Biggest lesson learned in a Marathon, you never know what that day will be bringing you at. So you can only prepare yourself for anything and everything.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Spot on, when we anticipate that anything can happen on race day, it surely helps reduce the stress levels when things happen. All about creative problem solving in the moment. Thanks and cheers Luis!

@lucabauckhage Месяц назад

I think the best lesson for me was from one of your previous video to run slow and get more into zone 2 training, might be a very beginner lesson but for me it changed the whole view on how to look at running training - thank you and congrats for that huge medal

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

The low heart rate training and developing a solid aerobic base in training, can surely come in handy on race day. Thank you @lucabauckhage

@gokiwi2642 Месяц назад

Great marathon experience & result, to run a sub 3 filming, & teaching is awesome, congrats on conquering the 6 World Majors medal ✅🥳🌴👣👍🏻✌️🏃🏽‍♂️

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

The London crowds surely helped make that happen. Thank yoU!

@rly1977 Месяц назад

subscribed, and my favorite takeaway from this video is how amazing the London marathon is, I was never planning on running it but this video really tempts me! And if I win it's not the shoes I want, I would like to do a long run with you one weekend (I live near Long Beach). Congratulations on an amazing race!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

London is such a special race. Then again, the Long Beach Marathon was my first one in 2007 and that's a nice place to train and race too. All the best

@macau.friend Месяц назад

Congrats on finishing all six Majors! You are usually so chilled even when things get tough, and I don’t recall ever seeing you get emotional. Can tell this is a big deal for you. I myself am aiming for sub 315 later this year and will check out your program. Cheers!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Thank yoU! I've had a few other races and running experiences with high emotions (Berlin video and Lawrence van Lingen interview video for example), but London surely was a special place to race. Exciting Sub 315 goal this year, enjoy the process!

@lukabrankovic Месяц назад

Definitely amazing inspiration and lht that you teach us not only in this video but in everyother. I've been so greatfull for finding out about your chanel, never run in my life and just wanted to try something new without anything on my mind, did first couple of runs without any knoladge and after that discovered you. In the last 2 months I've went from 7'/km to almost 6'/km and that is not the best part, the best part is that I feel amazing after everyrun and injury free. Thank you one more time!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Wow that's incredible, keep doing what you're doing. More improvements ahead. Enjoy!

@danielsharp6272 Месяц назад

Flo! Huge thank you for everything you’ve done to get knowledge out there and the support you have given me. London was the best race I’ve ever done I didn’t get the timeI wanted but I did everything I could on the day and executed well. 15 min PB

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Wow crushed it with your 15 min PB, that's a huge improvement. Keep showing up, more PB's ahead. Cheers

@ersinmehmet Месяц назад

Fantastic Floris! I’m honoured to have shared a few hundred metres with my mentor! I hope you enjoy a nice and relaxing recovery with your loved ones! Ersin 🫡

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

You were running backwards downhill at 6:45 minute miles hahaha, stoked to see you out there on the course Ersin. Keep doing what you're doing. More PB's ahead for you. Cheers

@ryanpacker1115 Месяц назад

That 'hold it together man'. I felt that emotion. Well done!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Same here! :) Thank you Ryan

@Fortunate1990 Месяц назад

🎉Congratulations and well done ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Running the mile that you’re in is always something I have to remind myself to do!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Yes, being present can make sure a different, vs letting our minds wander too far ahead. Thank yoU!

@hazimiabdbakar5113 Месяц назад

"Marathon is hard and I can do the hard thing" Love it. Congrats on your 6th star Flo.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Spot on! Thanks so much, appreciate you

@Mrmediafeed Месяц назад

Congrats Floris! An absolutely killer achievement. I love the raw emotion you express during the run. It’s hard work and you show it. My happiest moments are seeing the hard work on race day. I find I regularly doubt my capability during workouts, but race day tells the story!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Spot on, well said! 🙏🙌

@doganlin Месяц назад

“Marathons are hard, and I can do hard things” what a quote! That’s what I feel after finishing my first marathon this year. Congrats on finishing the sixth star, it was so inspiring and emotional❤ hope I can do all six in the future just like you! Love from Taiwan🇹🇼

@majamarcen5870 Месяц назад

Marathons are hard and I can do hard things💪.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Spot on, such a great feeling!

@greenlin0720 Месяц назад

Congratulations! You are the best!

@markcucu Месяц назад

great video Floris!!! congrats and thanks for sharing the experience

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Yeahhh Dr Cucuzzella, always a pleasure to connect. Glad you enjoyed the video. Keep inspiring my friend!

@alangray8952 Месяц назад

Top video, massive congratulations Floris. Ran in London in last year in 3.08, by far my best running experience! Top 3 lessons from this video were definitely; pacing, nutrition and run the mile your in. Sound advice as always! Taking these points on as I continue to chase the sub 3 dream 🏃‍♂️

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Excellent takeaways, all the best on your Sub 3 journey!

@KiranAWylie Месяц назад

Awesome run Floris! London was my first marathon and I finished in 2:59! I think we were in the same yellow starting pen! It's my dream to run all 6 World Majors - congratulations on an amazing achievement!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Nice work! Sub 3 on your first marathon is incredible

@AndreaAcostas755 Месяц назад

Congratulations Floris , great finish. I think there were many valuable lessons in this video starting with pacing yourself, fueling, enjoy the moment and be grateful and acknowledge those that supported you through the whole process and have supported you throughout life. I love the emotion at the end, I too get emotional but it's a great feeling. It is the culmination of months of hard work. My lesson from my last marathon is to fuel, I joined a group and they only taught us about running, pacing, hill training etc., but never about fueling, so I only had breakfast, and then I went, I didn't carry water or took water throughout. I finished in 3:47 but recovery was so painful and it took a long time.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Thank you so much 😀

@GuitarTraveller Месяц назад

There's so much here about the "peak experience" that crosses the border between sport and art... how to maximize the potential of achieving it... how to perform on the day... how to recognize the euphoria of it and love being in the moment. Great work, Floris. Tim Lawler.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Appreciate that Tim, thank you for seeing it that way

@elnivekify Месяц назад

Congratulations on London 2024. The atmosphere is rocking. Lesson learned...try everything during training. Nothing new on race day. I have my 1st OC Marathon in 11 days. Feeling a bit nervous.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Spot on, you'll crush it at the OC marathon, that's not far from my place in Irvine. Enjoy!!

@ludan8181 Месяц назад

Beautiful, thank you Flo for sharing your journey with us!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

My pleasure!! Thank you Ludan8181

@annerose5401 Месяц назад

Fantastic video thanks Floris. As part of training I like to do Parkruns regularly at my max pace. This helps me psychologically for longer events - with 5kms to go, I know "I've got this - it's just one Parkrun" and trust that muscle memory will take over and give me a final boost to the finish line

@TheRunegadePodcastTM Месяц назад

So happy for you Floris! Coach, you lead by example, and the keys you offer make all the difference. Under-fuelling is a big challenge, you helped me with this. But, it’s the ability you share and show to dig deep and push … I still need to be better here! And the hat backwards, getting down to business, love it brother 🙌

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Haha, all about that hat backwards :) Appreciate you Todd. Keep inspiring, excited to see the growth of your podcast. Cheers

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Much appreciated

@mad8298 Месяц назад

First, a big Congratulations on your 6th Star Floris!! I always enjoy your videos and this one was entertaining and informative and so real. I cried with you at the end. I ran London as well (my 3rd major and 19th marathon) and didn't have a great day, only because I was not mentally prepared for all of the walkers/costumes that slowed the runners in the middle and back of the pack to an extreme and also the noise level (I have PTSD and it was a bit overwhelming). However, I am grateful for the experience and being able to keep doing this at age 70. I loved all of your tips, but the "fuel early" (and often) is a lesson it took me a long time to learn. I would say for any heavy sweater out there (even in cool weather) make sure your hydration plan includes hyperhydrating and electrolytes the day/days before the race, and during the race. Sorry I missed you there.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Well done on your 19th marathon! The right hydration and nutrition can surely make a big difference.

@Sh4d0wGn0m3 Месяц назад

this is so raw and emotional 🥹 thank you for sharing.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

awww thanks so much, this was a special video to make

@jestonlu Месяц назад

Absolute banger of a video :). One the best race videos I've seen in a while. Favorite takeaway: all the training and work you put in will ultimately pay off. Congrats on running all 6 World Majors!

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Wow, that means a lot. Great takeaway. Thank you @jestonlu

@1234shijie Месяц назад

absolute champion , well done 👍👍what an outstanding achievement , thanks for all the great videos and advice .

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Really appreciate you!

@triathloninspired Месяц назад

Man, I cried watching your entire video. In 2015 I stumbled on your channel and your multiple interviews with Dr. Maffetone and Dr. Cucuzzella helped me a lot. Although I started taking running seriously only since 2022, I'm making great progress at 39. Many thanks. Keep inspiring.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

O wow, appreciate you and glad you're making great progress in your running journey, well done!

@siostrarenatki Месяц назад

Smiles for miles! Yay! I got emotional watching this video too! When you were running under Tower Bridge and at the finish - the exact moments I got emotional when I was running London Big Half last year😊

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Totally!! Those spots are incredible, what a wild rollercoaster marathons can be!

@hagosmesgoun7195 Месяц назад

Congrats mate just finished Boston at 2:59:55 just on unreal finish - enjoy the moment - would love to get the 6stars one day .

Hey Floris, great to see you upload so soon after Sunday. Big thrill to see you in person for the shake-out amd raffle; very delighted with my Path Projects cap. The Path Projects gear looks awesome. I remember your two takeaways before the shake-out which you also mention in the video and that is to fuel up early on and watch the pace at the start - soooo true. V.important to maintain your taget pace; the euphoria can have you almost running at speed interval pace. Good advice from you which I passed on to our marathon team of 12 runners. Inspiring stuff, great to see you and hopefully bump into you at another event. 👍💪🤜🤛

Great to see you at the shakeout run Gary and spot on takeaways right there! London surely is a special place to run.

Glad to see you enjoyed the crowds. What a way to finish the 6 stars! Smiled all the way through watching this.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

The crowds were louder than I can remember at any of the other World Majors. Might also have been the amount of caffeine, gels and Ketone shots I took to get to that finish line :)

@5128goldenrod Месяц назад

Freaking FANTASTIC Floris ! That was a very classy way to put the cherry on top of the cake, great splits, sub 3 …. and you turn this very personal victory lap into the best coaching for folks working on star number 1. Great video too, joy on display.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Thanks a bunch, really appreciate you. I knew I wasn't in shape to PR and wanted to make this London 6th Star a special ender of this journey. What a day. Enjoy your running journey @5128goldenrod

Fantastic video Floris! Congrats on completing the 6 Majors! I was running London as well on Sunday and I can relate all the emotions at the finish line and throughout the whole race. The shorts with pockets tips is something I will definitely implement in the future as the belt proved to be a bit too cumbersome to handle on the day. Keep it up! :)

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Well done on London! Yes those emotions can surely be real at the finish line. The shorts and running handsfree without bounce can surely make a difference. Have a good recovery!

@dsfrye01 Месяц назад

Massive congratulations on the Sixth Star. So very well deserved. I love the raw emotion at the end. It’s an emotional journey. Without the support of loved ones in our lives, it’s near impossible to accomplish. Such wonderful takeaways. Always pace yourself. Too many runners get too emotional at the beginning. It leads to struggles at the end. So happy for you.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

The emotions surely get real when stripped raw from all layers and fully present in last few miles. Stoked to launch our podcast episode soon Scott. Keep inspiring my friends. Cheers

Congrats! Amazing achievement on the 6 stars. I'm emotional just watching you achieve your goal. I'm running my first full marathon in under 2 weeks. Thanks for sharing your journey. I'm getting pretty stoked, too. Love your takeaways and advice about finishing the race and pushing too hard and cramping at the end.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Ahh that means a lot. Wish I knew these lessons before my first marathon. You're going to crush it, enjoy!

Brilliant, what a giant effort. Well done on the 6 Star. Now onto Athens 😉? Lessons learned....salt tablets taped to the gels and running shorts with pockets. Gold dust for me. Thank you.

@TobyNewbatt Месяц назад

Thanks Flo. As I watched you veering the end I got emotional. I'm less than 2 weeks from my attempt now. Feeling so scared. Thank you for always taking us along and all the great advice here and on The Extra Milest.

@FlorisGierman Месяц назад

Totally normal to feel scared, you got this! Enjoy the process, you'll grow a lot through all these experiences. Thank you.
