Tears rolling down my face as you came up to the finish line with Freddie cheering you on. Way to go Sarah! This has inspired me to stop viewing a marathon as a pipe dream and instead take it on!

Sub 4 ? Delusional woman

That finish was outstanding. All that 10K training paid off and your muscle memory kicked in. Loved Freddy's encouragement during that last stretch.

-30 on last km is outstanding. And I agree with others in their posts, you certainly owe Freddie a drink. it was your legs but also his encouragement that got you sub 4 hours 👏👏👏

Full on bawled at the end watching you speed past people with Freddie cheering you and having that complete faith. What an incredible result! Sarah you're such an inspiration.

Kudos to Sarah and Katie for a sub 4 marathon! Absolutely amazing! Watching Sarah finish with Freddie cheering her on was awesome! Great job everyone!

Well done Sarah! 25 minutes off your PB is AMAZING! Shout out to Freddy as well for all the unsung work he does behind the camera pacing the presenters. Would love a short on his own running.

It’s 9am on a Saturday morning in the Philippines as I was watching this and now I am crying tears of joy in front of coffee praying that my fiancé won’t wake up because I would look really silly crying over a running video on youtube. 😂😂😂 so happy for you and for hitting that goal.

Well done Sarah it was amazing to watch you run sub 4 hours. I'm running my first marathon at London tomorrow and I'm hoping to run sub 4 as well!

Sarah, you are SUCH a champion!! My god, that last 30 seconds were the best but if suspense ever and you pushed so, so hard. Like many others, I’ve got tears in my eyes. Full marks to Freddie for his encouragement and dedication to helping you. Another champion, no doubt. I hope he enjoyed the beer you no doubt got him. 🎉

Well done Sarah. 18 years ago I was exactly where you were. Berlin Marathon with the aim of a sub 4. This brought it all back as if it has been yesterday. Running towards the Brandenburger Tor at the end and mobilising everything you have for the finish is an unbeatable feeling. One of my proudest moments ever. Thank you for that. Tears were rolling when I watched your video. You looked still so strong when you run your last few hundred meters. Congratulations! Fantastic time.

So proud of you Sarah, to be able to dig in and finish so strongly is no easy feat! Great job!

I ran the same race and we’re etched into the history books of being part of the new world record race! I felt emotional watching this and could see how much that sub 4 hours meant! You absolutely blasted down the last 400m! You were flying past everyone! I’ve got a big target for Edinburgh marathon next year and really hope it goes like this 😊 (maybe with a few seconds extra to spare right enough just to decrease the stress levels!😂) Congrats! 👏🏻

An incredible watch, Sarah! Well ran! (And very well captured, Freddie!) - Mack

Such an emotional and inspirational moment! After seeing your progression on this channel I feel like we are all just so happy for your accomplishment of a sub-4 hour marathon! Congratulations!!

That was surprisingly emotional for me. You must be so proud of yourself! Watching you overtake all those people in that final dash was unreal. Super job Sarah - enjoy your well earned recovery.

The sub 4 is impressive, but I am even more in awe at the incredible finish! Pushing fast and hard after a long tough sub 4 marathon effort and not just for 400m? That's incredible! It may also show, that there is potential for even bigger achievements in the future

Congratulations, Sarah! I was so cheering you on those last 2 kms with tears in my eyes, because I had just achieved the exact same goal in my first marathon (aged 51) with a time of 3:59:06. I so know what you were going thru. So proud of you for persevering with your goal from 33km mark. I so happy because now I dont have to do another marathon ever : goal achieved. Phew. Go you sub 4 hour marathoner you!

Is Berlin Marathon on your bucket list? Or have you got another race you really want to do?

Congratulations Sarah, Freddie and Katie!! On sub 4 🎉🎉🎉 We all need supporters like "Freddie" for those tough times and end stage of a race.... "" COME ON"👍👍

That was spectacular Sarah. So fun (and informative) following your videos. Completed my marathon last Saturday and have spent the week recovering and, like everyone else, watching endless coverage of Kipchoge and all things Marathon. Your finish was as exciting as they get. Well filmed, well executed, A+++. Congratulations to you and all your friends. I missed my time goal by a mile but that’s ok. Seeing things like this keep us all excited for the next one. (Haha. By a mile means by a large margin here. Hmm. Do they say by a kilometer over there. lol😂). Thanks again.

Awesome job Sarah! Sub 4 was definitely a well deserved time for u! All the hard work definitely paid off🤩

Well done, amazing job to you and Katie. Finish push was amazing, goose bumps and cheering for you ( loudly) as you crossed the line. You are inspiring! Got to give a shout out to Freddy for his support and encouragement and of course his amazing footage.

I ended up crying as you got closer to the finish line. Massive congratulations Sarah, you are such an inspiration! Well done on your sub 4 PB 🎉 I’ve entered both the Berlin marathon 2023 lottery and the London 2023 ballot, fingers crossed 🤞 but Berlin looks EPIC!!

I paused the video at your 30k mark to say.... you and the channel have inspired me so much. Tomorrow I am off for a 3 hour run as part of my first Ultra prep at the end of October (Last ran a marathon in 1983......) Right, let's get back to the film and see what happened.

@@runningchannel Right, first of all, you have to stop this emotional stuff. Sarah crossing the line made my eyes go damp and Im a 58 year old bloke!! (Seriously, well done Sarah) And I am taking part in the Tiverton 50k at the end of this month. Everything about running has changed my life and given me focus during some very dark times. Thank you all so much (loved the marathon treaddmill video you all did)

Seriously? You guys bloody rock! Running sub 4 hours AND filming? I am just gutted to see Freddy effortlessly run and film at the same time :D You're absolute legends! If you weren't filming it's easily a 3:50 run - but we could not have witnessed it then. Thumbs up!

Well Done Sarah!! The final footage was epic!! Good job Freddie!!

Congratulations, Sarah! I loved watching you pass all of those people near the finish and hearing Freddie cheer you on. You looked so strong at the end. What an inspiration!

Hi, I just walked/ran my first marathon seven days ago on the same day that you ran this race. You have been inspiration to me over the last six months as I’ve trained and encountered injuries and setbacks and a lot of mental strength training… I cried for half of your video! You are amazing and thank you for sharing your journey! Congratulations on your sub 4 :-)

Sarah, congrats on running your first sub four hour marathon! You're just the inspiration I needed as in two weeks time I'll be running my first marathon (Amsterdam) at 63 years of age and aim to replicate your achievement! 💪🤞

So awesome! Love how your buddy kept pushing and cheering you on towards the end, all while running and recording. Awesome video. Felt like I was there with you all. Congratulations Sarah, Katie and to Freddy! 👏🏼 🙌🏼 Badasses! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️😎 Loved it! Was cheering you on at the end, all the way from Los Angeles, CA. USA. 😃

It's so refreshing seeing some 'real' people (meant as a compliment) grinding it out and achieving their goal. Hearty congrats to Sarah and Katie for your sub-4 marathons! A sub-4 is certainly no gimme. Also kudos to Freddie who, no doubt, was a big factor.

WOW, really well done! Congratulations and well deserved. Epic video, was cheering for you from home in your final sprint!!

I didnt expect to me so emotional invested in this vid. Great ducking job! The fact that your were filming and running at the same time. Also, the fact that you still had post race interview just blows my mind

That was so emotional.....I'm so proud of you and your grit to crush that last 2km...making up the 28 seconds was amazing!

So very happy for you both. Excellent video. You're literally showing everyone Hard Work Pays Off. Congratulations!!

Congratulations Sarah!!!! I was sitting on the edge of my chair cheering you on for the last stretch! You looked so strong. 🏃‍♀️ 🏅 👏 loved the message run the mile you’re in.

Absolutely inspirational finish Sarah - congratulations! You just poured everything you had into it and it paid off. Wonderful video - looking forward to the next challenge!👏👏

YAY!!!!!!!!!!! I was crying and cheering you on in those final minutes ❤️ So proud and so impressed with what you've accomplished as a runner in the past year! Extraordinary.

Well done Sarah! a great achievement and was willing you on at the end....not sure I'd have had the energy in that last 2km that you had. My last marathon was in 2016 and watching videos like this is slowly nudging me towards my next.

Wow, when you want something, go get it! Amazing race Sarah and the team, so inspiring. Those times are like lightening to someone like me who is much slower, runner, but just love what running can do. Here's to the next marathon and huge congratulations on your first major!

Well done Sarah! I was literally on the edge of my seat willing you on for this video, amazing time and incredible determination on that finishing leg! You should be so proud of your time!!!

Well done Sarah, your progression from your last marathon to this one is excellent. I ran the Two Tunnels half marathon this year, I got under two hours, I will run the Bath Half this month and hope to go under 2 hours again. My long term goal is go under 4 hours in a marathon. Being on the Autism Spectrum, the crowds on race day are nerve racking, my first half marathon had quite low entrance numbers, compared to my upcoming Bath Half, so I have to see how I cope with that, once I get going, I am like a diesel train, not that fast, but I keep going 😂

Another awesome job! Loved seeing Sarah pick up the pace in those final moments of the race and hearing Freddie encouraging her along the way. So good.

I ran myself (3h21m) and it is so great to relive the whole race again. Congratulations and what an exciting finish! 😃 🙌

I have just started running quite recently and also just found your channel. I love the content and I am feeling so inspired to work towards the experience of running a marathon like this. Well done on the sub 4 hours - That made me feel quite emotional at the end :)

Thank you that inspires me so much, it seemed so emotional! I just did my first half marathon in Oct now my first marathon will be in April in London, I want to go under 4hours too. Now to fit in all the prep as I never ran more than 2hrs! Let's go!!!

Wow what an amazing video. Really nice build up and when you was getting to the finish my heart was in my mouth. The encouragement to get you across the line was so exciting and nearly had me welling up. Congratulations, awesome achievement.

Wow amazing run Sarah. You had me in tears on the finish line. I'm doing NY this year with sports tours, was cancelled twice, so I've had to train for it 3 times.

omg congratulations, Sarah! that is such a huge PR and accomplishment. I was literally on the edge of my seat as you ran up that final stretch and Freddie was telling you that you had thirty seconds and then 15 seconds to go to meet your goal! I would absolutely love to do the Berlin marathon someday, but we'll see what I say after I do my first marathon ONE WEEK from today at the Chicago Marathon! thanks for all the inspiration!💜💜💜

That was fantastic! I didn’t expect to be so moved but after having run a marathon myself, well do I understand the emotions. You let it rip in those last few seconds. I feel so motivated watching your effort. Congratulations on your time. Well earned.

This was an awesome running channel vid,possibly my favourite ever. Really emotional watching the sprint finish(which seemed a really long sprint!) Great job all. Got to say if i ever get to a marathon i think i am going to need a Freddie!

Amazing work Sarah, I was literally screaming at the screen for that last km yelling at you to sprint and give it everything you've got. You should be proud of yourself! Two weeks ago I ran in the Sydney (Australia) Blackmores marathon which is under review to become the seventh world major marathon, in 2019 I ran it in 3:38, this year I did it in 2:50 and was absolutely stocked!

That finish tho, Sarah!!!! Oh my word it was amazing! It felt like watching Chariots of Fire. You have been such an inspiration to me. I did my first half marathon this august, and when things got really tough it was yours, Anna’s and Rick’s voices in my head that I heard encouraging me on. ❤

Really amazing Sarah! It is so inspiring seeing your progress in such a short period of time. Well done, deep respect. It was so emotional hearing Andy pushing you, he is so great

Wow well done Sarah!!! You've smashed it! You're my inspiration, tomorrow is the London Marathon and despite the weather forecast I will try and go join the thousand of people to support amazing runners. It might just inspire me to sign up for 2023.

Well done Sarah, the three of you are true champions, and Freddie was really awesome ! Congratulations guys

Rewatching. Incredible finish! - Mack

Well done, Sarah!!!! Your Amsterdam marathon series was the inspiration for me running my first marathon which is coming up in 2 weeks. Congrats. YOU SMASHED IT!

Congratulations! Berlin last weekend was my very first marathon. Watching your video replayed my own experience. Thank you for that!

You’re a legend Sarah!! Thank you so much for these inspirational videos. You’ve made me think that one day I could run a marathon. At the age of 50 I decided to try to run further than my standard 5k’s that I’ve been doing for many years. At the age of 51 I’ve finally run a half marathon this year. I’m now running this distance consistently and will start thinking about the full.

Well done Sarah (and Katie). Great video, and Freddie's encouragement at the end was epic!

Congratulations, Sarah! I ran it as well last week and also had a great time (in both senses of that phrase). I enjoyed reliving the experience from your video.

Well done , Freddie!! Running and filming, and encouraging Sarah. And well done Sarah and Katie

I was literally tearing up and cheering you on when Freddie was yelling 15 seconds! Fantastic job and congrats on sub 4!!!!!

Man goosebumps moment especially watching the finish - congrats on an awesome effort Sarah (and kudos Freddy filming, supporting and still moving himself at the end - more coordination than I'd have! 🙈😂) just need to get fit/injury free and get after my 2nd marathon next year (6 years after my 1st 🤯)

Well done Sarah & Katie, great job and great encouragement from Freddie ! Awesome

Great Job!!! I felt like I was there with you at the end! Such a strong finish! So proud of you!

Great job, Sarah! It’s so inspiring watching you knock down these challenges with such tenacity and positivity. Keep up the great work!

So happy for you Sarah!!! That’s incredible!! Freddie was a great motivator too! Awesome work!

Unbelievable, you are my inspiration!! So well done Sarah!!! I'll be running my first marathon december 24th in the NL - hoping to finish sub 5 in a similar style :')

Well done Sarah. Congratulations. Was nice to meet you on the cours. So good that you made it🎉

Huge congratulations Sarah and Katie!! I'll be racing my 2nd marathon in York in 2 weeks and going for a PB, hopefully I can channel that same positivity and energy at the finish!

Amazing work! Well done. That finish was incredible - for both you and Freddie. You are an inspirational woman.

Great video, great effort. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride.
