    Your son was so proud of you , he’ll never forget that 😊 I remember my dad ran the Motherwell marathon when I was about 8 and I still remember that day👍 you have the added bonus that in years to come he can go into TH-cam and watch you 😊

    • @runningwithstephen
      @runningwithstephen  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Totally agree mate 👍. One of the main reasons I do TH-cam is to have a full video log , so that I/we can look back in years to come. Even my grandchildren eventually. It will be all here 💯.
      Yeah definitely mate it hugely inspires them and makes them wa t to do marathons etc too. Which is absolutely epic 😎.

    Well done Stephen you smashed it pal. I also ran this marathon. It was a tough course especially the loop along the coast. The heat didn't help. I'm still happy with my sub 4. The support was amazing especially for the last 6 miles. I've ran the Rome Jersey and Paris marathons but the atmosphere and support in Edinburgh was unbelievable the best I've experienced so far. Well done again

      Thanks mate 👍. I really do appreciate that. I was very happy to come away with a huge 14 min pb ( will cover in the recap vlog) .
      Massive congratulations on the sub 4 that was epic 👏. Well done.

    Fantastic video and very well done on your time Stephen. I was looking for you after the run (came in 4hrs 15mins lol, you were probably on the way home) im at that phase the now where im happy just to complete a Marathon without any dramas, anyway i was 11 minutes faster this year as i was 4hrs 26mins in 2022. So that was a wee bonus....but man that last 10k was one of the toughest and i got mild cramp in my quad at mile 23 but i refused to walk or stop, when your going through hell you keep going!!! The support from the Edinburgh and Musselburgh crowds was absolutely fantastic. Glad you had a great day. Your videos are superb.

    • @runningwithstephen
      @runningwithstephen  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Epic mate 11 minutes faster thats awesome 👌....well done 👏.
      Honestly mate it's comments like this that make it all worth while 💯.
      Aw I'm gutted I didn't get a chance to see you pal. Haha I was straight up the road with the family. They had been about all day supporting me 🤟.
      The crowds this year were fantastic weren't they. I'd go as far as saying it was even busier this year and everyone done exceptionally well to support the runners.
      Your totally right mate the last 10k was solid lol I really had to dig Deep on those last few miles. I did see folk double over in cramp and stuff also. I really think people need to look at salt intake and electrolytes on the day as this is what kills you on the final stages. I was very impressed at how my nutrition helped me this year.
      Once again thanks for tuning in mate 👍. Its very much appreciated with your kind feedback 💯🤟

So I vowed this year I'd sort it out and I done just that with salt sticks fast chews. I'll cover all in the recap vlog. But what a difference they made.
      Wow superb mate 👌! Thats incredible 👏 . Well done. Yeah I kinda hated the course last year but this year it seemed so much better. Don't know if it's because I could get to enjoy it with bo cramps. It's actually so flat.
