It takes courage and determination to finish a full marathon, much more are needed with your injuries Josh. We all learnt something about you as well. I am very happy for you and your family!
That's a good one! Amazing! And congrats on your marathon! :) One of the better videos around. Came here to thank you for it. It looks like a vlog of a real person, shows the course well and has tons of a good mood and emotions. Thank you!
Congratulations, Josh! That was a solid performance, even with the injury. Ran the race with my wife. It was her 1st full mary, and Sydney was a beauty! See you next year! Ride and run safe.
Awesome job on your first marathon with the negative split! I don’t know if you realised, the lady at 10:26 was Naoko Takahashi, Olympic women’s marathon gold medalist in Sydney 2000 and first woman to run under 2:20 for the marathon.
Not a runner... and have no plan on taking it up... But what an amazing story and review of the event. Congrats on finishing, mate. Seriously, seriously impressive.
It was a good time. One thing which is good about these videos is we can go back and watch it in the future and remember all the good times we got up to
Whoa super effort!!! Congrats. It’s a tough event on its own, but after hitting the deck on Friday and dinging yourself up, especially the all important gams is just mega. Hope you’re feeling better recovered now and carrying no residual effects from the crash. It’s no wonder your vids are so good. You obviously apply the same commitment to everything you undertake. Congrats
Hey mate, feeling not too bad honestly. My knee is a big tight and I can’t ride my bike, but I’m happy to be mobile. Thanks for the incredibly kind words, people like yourself keep me motivated to make content!
What a journey! People usually get stitches while running, of course you decided to get some before starting. Really sweet of your dad to join in! Clearly there's a fitness gene in the family. I reckon 11:51 beats 11:37 hands down! That framing! Also love the music buildup from 16:48 leading to 17:20 right into 17:38. So.... 3 hours next year, 2 hours the year after?
Hahaha I think I did get some good genes, but behind that is a lot of hard work and dedication 😎 my dad did a lot of training. Hahaha you’re right, running directly under the bridge was incredible. Thanks for appreciating the music, sometimes it takes a lot of work to find that perfect song!
Too right mate 30kms is where I hit my wall!! I remember my friends who came as my support crew telling me 1 more run club 12km route - my legs were spasming with cramp and I was definitely under fueled, but running a marathon taught me a lot about myself. Watching you accomplish it is giving me the runners itch!! So maybe I’ll take up that hobby on a more regular basis! Would love to run a few kays with James!
Sunk cost fallacy ;) I'm kidding, I just wanted to give it my best shot. I was at peace with turning up to the start line and not being able to finish.
@@joshkwan I had a mate who scratched his Colnago when breaking his wrist, he would have taken a broken arm to avoid scratching his bike.... we do get attached to them
Awesome effort to everyone and good on you for finishing 😮. Personally i think I'll stick to the MS Gong ride 😉 You did forget the most important thing though .... how's the bike 😂 Your Dad and James 👏👊 🍻
Great job Josh!

Thanks Richard! It honestly was an incredible event and experience. Sometimes you need to test yourself and see your limits :)
That's a good one! Amazing! And congrats on your marathon! :)

Unrelated to running, but this video inspired me to randomly go on a 24 mile ride. Hit a new pr avg speed of 22.3 mph. Much love for the inspiration!
Love that mate! Get out there and enjoy the outdoors
Congratulations, Josh! That was a solid performance, even with the injury. Ran the race with my wife. It was her 1st full mary, and Sydney was a beauty! See you next year! Ride and run safe.

That is admirable
Good work on finishing and pushing through! Respect 👏🏻
Mate, well done. For a second there, I thought you weren't going to complete it. What a legend🔥🔥💪🏾
It was a struggle for a while, and plenty of excuses were in my head. But we got it done 🫡
I love your content man, keep up all the hard work

Time to come out of retirement ;)
Shot bro! That was awesome.
Thanks mate! I hope you enjoyed the video :)
Awesome achievement buddy. Even with all those war wounds you still blitzed it 💪
Thanks very much mate!
Loving the videos
congrats! This was so impressive
Thank you ☺️
0:18 there’s me in pink!! Haha great video and congratulations 🏅🙌🏻
Awesome! Good spotting!
Hopefully you had a good marathon!
@@joshkwan I did it in 4.53 but I had no stitches lol, so massive kudos to you!
Ate the marathon for breakfast 🔥🔥🔥🔥
When’s the main course start ;)
Good job
Congrats 🎉 Amazing effort 💪 I ran it too. I hope Sydney becomes a Major next year 😊
It was such an epic event, it feels like the whole city put on a show.
I hope it becomes a major as well
@@joshkwan Agreed, I felt the energy out on the course too.
Bravo!
Fantastic effort
Watching this while on Zwift, it's great motivation to push more watts!
Glad to provide entertainment while you’re in the pain cave 😂
Amazing effort mate. You'll be coming back next year with a vengeance!
Thank you mate. I can’t wait to run again. The marathon has made me even more motivated 👀
Congratulations, I just hope you don’t regret it with a persistent hip, knee problem affecting your cycling!
Man i was humbled around 35km-38 sydney was beautifully brutal
That’s why he’s the 🐐
Too kind 🤪
Not in a million years would I even consider a marathon after a crash. Hats off to ya, made of harder stuff than me.
Sunk cost fallacy ;)
I'm kidding, I just wanted to give it my best shot. I was at peace with turning up to the start line and not being able to finish.
Amazing, bucket list item !! Well done...more importantly, how is the bike????
Asking the important questions ;)
The bike is fine! Just needed new bar tape :)
@@joshkwan I had a mate who scratched his Colnago when breaking his wrist, he would have taken a broken arm to avoid scratching his bike.... we do get attached to them
Health is wealth. But also not having a broken bike is wealth 🥲
@@joshkwan thank god you were not seriously hurt, your bike was ok and you managed to complete the marathon.
Lets go!
Coming back with a vengeance next year!!!
Hoka .. Clifton’s or Bondi running shoes are my choice & huge fan for many triathletes 👍
I’ve tried the Cliftons before and liked them. I do love my current rotation though
Basically, it’s what ever shoe you feel most comfortable wearing 👌
Can't wait to watch the rest of this after our chat hehehe
Thanks for having me on mate, I had a blast. Let’s catch up soon please 🫶
@@joshkwan so good to catch up brother - roll, trot, coffee or a feed we will make it happen! Congrats again on your race man 🙌🏻
Awesome effort to everyone and good on you for finishing 😮. Personally i think I'll stick to the MS Gong ride 😉
You did forget the most important thing though .... how's the bike 😂
Your Dad and James 👏👊
🍻
MS gong is super scenic as well, you will have fun :)
The bike is fine!!! Just new bar tape
I got off lucky :)
@@joshkwan no Sworks yet then 😇
Sworks one microwave lunch at a time
This is sick.
Bad luck re the knee however well done, congrats
Thank you! Sometimes life throws you adversity, it’s about what you do to overcome it :)
Your wife??? Congratulations! 😮
Thank you 🫶
what camera did you use
Insta 360 AcePro 🤙🏻
Great effort, blah blah blah. I hope the bike is ok😜
Asking the important questions 🙃
Bike is fine, needed some new bar tape is all. Seems like I sacrificed my body to save it. Hahaha
Your mind gives out first before your body.
A lot of people are stronger than they realise, they just need to push themselves or find their motivation :)
@@joshkwan We all have a bit of Zyzz in us.
Amen brother 🤙🏻
