The HARDEST run of my life - London Marathon 2024

After a 16 week training block I took on my 3rd London Marathon and my 3rd marathon in 18 months.
The 'A' goal was always sub 3:45, but with a less than ideal lead up I was on the struggle bus very early on...
Huge thanks to MetaEndurnace for the Project London experience and the KIPRUN for my race gear.

    How anyone can talk, carry a camera, and smile while running a marathon aaandddd get a PB is beyond me. Congratulations! Thank you for taking us along your little stroll around London. I really do appreciate your making the effort in sharing with us your race experience with these videos.

    Haha I think I would struggle more over a shorter distance with the filming and talking! To be honest it was a nice distraction at times! Thanks very much for the support and for watching the videos 🙏🏻

    Well done Maisie. You actually look pretty good at the end -- I know you were saying how hard it was and all but from your form and everything you looked rock solid. Congrats on your race finish -- marathons simply never get easier. I've done a bunch of them and you just never know how they are going to go. It's been a while since I've done one but I'd love to do London some day (I live in the US though). Keep it up and I enjoyed your video.

    Thanks Eddie - really appreciate your comments and thank you for watching. Externally I defiantly didn’t look to be struggling too much, I’ve done a lot of work on strength training the last 18 months which has definitely helped. The main issue I was having was really bad back/neck pain, which I’ve never had before and I think was more to the illness I had before the race. But you are so right, marathons never seem to get easier! London is just amazing and I really hope you get to experience it one day! Thanks again for your support 😁

    Thank you! Honest answer here - I’m not completely sure. It has always been higher than the standard calculation, but I hadn’t seen it go above 200 for a good few years, but at one point in this race I saw 206! However, this was from a my Garmin without a HR chest strap, so I’ll take that with a pinch of salt. Although I can easily hit 190s in a tough interval session.

    Thanks Ben! It was fine, for this video I used the small insta 360 so it’s tiny and fit in my front pocket. In terms of actually filming it was quite good as gave me something else to focus on and tick down the distance. For a 3:53 run I only filmed a few minutes of footage so it feels pretty minimal overall 😀
