Yes Jess!!! I am a fellow Jess who also cramped in the last mile of my marathon on Sat. I had to run through it to sprint finish and make my Boston Qualifying time by 43 seconds 😂 it hurt so bad and I passed a guy walking in those last 200 meters. The struggle is freaking real. You crushed. So proud of you!
Well done Jess! Wise words and I was in the same predicament too. I did the Nottingham Robin Hood Half on the same day and thought "those hills are nasty, I'll just aim for a 2h30". Without realising I started with the 2h05 pacer and I dropped back a fair bit for the first 6 or so KM. But, just like you, my legs felt so fresh that I eventually caught and passed that same pacer at the halfway mark and eventually beat the 2h goal I've had since I started my running journey last year. My previous best was a 2h09 on a flat course earlier this year. Belief and self-confidence, knowing you can do the time in training and applying it to race day. Adrenaline and the crowd really makes the difference! But I have to say, if it wasn't for everyone at The Running Channel for showing me all of your journeys, I probably would've given up already. Truly inspirational and again, amazing effort and congratulations Jess, well deserved - you smashed it!!!
So good! Congrats Jess, I’ve told heaps of people about you missing out on sub 3 by 11 seconds (just brutal) and now can tell that you came back and did sub 3!
Got my first trail race on Saturday and I've not been able to train for nearly two weeks. I was in a pretty grim place mentally because of that but this has lifted me. I'm going to put faith all the weeks of training in the bag and give all I can. Thank you.
You are such a machine Jess. So impressive and so tough. What a great achievement. Congratulations on your new PB, thanks for sharing the joy with us!!! 🎉
OMG… so emotional watching that and was crying before you even crossed the line. Such an incredible person and you’ve inspired me to get the shoes back on and get some me time on the roads. I’ve not run all year, but know its time to get back out there after I heal from my ACL surgery ❤
Jess is such a great sport & this is such a great video! Formidable achievement! In pain she brought joy -incredibly inspiring! "Believe that you can, but decide that you will"🔥🔥🔥
Great run Jess. I was following your tracker on the day and the last 400m seemed to take forever as I watched the clock. Brilliant. You deserved that after putting in the hard efforts
This was beautiful and inspiring. "Believe that you can but decide that you will." @runningchannel and Jess, Thank You for such a touching and inspirational video. Congratulations, Jess
Congratulations! You are such an inspiration. I also tell myself during races that I've done harder things to get me through. "Believe that you can. Decide that you will." I've just written that down - I love it!
Incredible, well done Jess! I’ve been inspired to set myself the challenge of going sub-3 (got 24 minutes to shave off so will take some time) - thanks for sharing your journey and showing us how it’s done.
Congratulations Jess!! That was incredibly inspiring! I could feel the cramping in that last 400m. I’m attempting my first ever full marathon in Melbourne on the weekend. I’m so incredibly nervous. I’ve followed my brilliant Runna app training plan for 20 weeks. I know I will have to fight my mind throughout the day. I’m determined to not let it beat me. I’m aiming for just under 4hrs but I know at the end of the day just finishing a marathon will be something I never thought would be possible.
Thank you so much for sharing this run with us. I love the four zones, the clarity of your mantra - believe you can and decide you will - and the determination you had to nail this goal. It is absolutely inspiring.
Well done Jess!! Crying at the end for and with you, you shared the journey of a marathon and trying to hit a goal whilst fighting those annoying internal demons. So happy for you, huge hugs 🤗 x
Congrats Jess that was so epic! 🙌🏃♀️🏅On the same day I got a cramp 2km from the end of my HM, I had no idea what was happening or what to do so I ended up walking to the finish 😢. Please TRC, can you make a video about what causes cramp, and how to prevent it from happening 🙏
Jess you are so inspirational, I’ve started working toward a load of goals! Sub 22 5K tick and done, sub 45k min 10k tick and done … they will change to sub 20min and sub 40 and I’d then love to target sub 1:30 half then the huge sub 3 Mara! Jess you are amazing ❤❤
Such an inspiration Jess!!!❤ I love that you're open with your struggles as a runner. I also struggle with confidence in running a new pb and pushing my limits. Thank you for being so open about it
I feel like this video doesn't show the chaos and disorganisation of so many parts of Berlin Marathon weekend (e.g. Expo), but it does bring back so many good memories of running last weekend. Congratulations Jess!
You're an absolute superstar! The number one battle is against your own demons and you crushed them. Also, fighting through the pain is one of those wonderfully bittersweet flavours most people simply miss out on... The sweet part of the bittersweet comes a bit after the race... Congratulations Jess!!!
Ran a PB this year as well, the emotions over the line were too much and I blubbed for a solid 2 minutes. There is nothing wrong with releasing months of focus and effort after it culminates into a beautiful moment. Congratulations
Offft someone cutting onions in here, Berlin didn't work out for me as I hoped but still happy with the PB as i really didnt think it would go as it did. this was quite an emotional watch, ive have a sub 3 dream maybe time to as you so eloquently said "Believe that I can, but decide I will"
Thanks for the Great video. What an inspiration. I’m running my first half marathon this weekend, as a 46 year old who’s recently lost 50kgs. I’ve done all the hard work, the early morning sessions in the dark and cold and for weeks I’ve been telling myself (and anyone who will listen) I think just I can run sub 1:40. You’ve inspired me, now I will run sub 1:40. Let’s go 🔥
That was just brilliant, very inspiring. I knew Jess had achieved her goal before I started watching, but still I was (in my head, lol!) shouting to the tv ‘go Jess, run!’ as she was approaching the finish line. What an amazing performance!
Jess, this was amazing. Well done well done well done! I get super nervous before races and especially pb attempts. I found your whole video very relatable especially as I’m going to be trying to break 3:30 for the first time in 13 days 😳
"Believe that you can, but decide that you will" gave me chills! What an awesome video
It's a great moto isn't it!
The best!! … awesome job Jess 🎉😅
@@runningchannel I’ll keep it in mind for my next PR training block. Sub 3 seems far now, but I’ll get there. This got me pumped!
@@runningchannel Needs to be on a T-Shirt
Loved that bit!
‘‘Believe that you can, but decide that you will’’
Love it. Well said Jess!!! Huge congrats.
What's your race Moto?
@@runningchannel not as poetic but ‘ you have done the work now time to execute’
@@runningchannelDon't die
@@English.runner.en.Espana That's a nice moto.
I’m a 53yo bloke who has no idea who is cutting onions. Bloody fantastic video and honesty Jess. So inspirational 👏👏👏
Get Taylor as a presenter on the running channel! Great bits of wisdom!
I am always amazed at the amount of ENERGY Jess, displays.
⚡️ 🔋
Was so excited to see you at the Expo, i didn't hit my 4 hour goal like we talked, but still a 20 minute PR. Congrats on the race, you worked HARD.
You worked hard too! Congratulations!
Well done! It's the trick to get a PB by not too much, so the next PB is around the corner, so great work!
Sooo lovely to meet you! And huge congrats on your PB 💪
I swear every time I watch Jess I'm crying lol. So amazing!!!
❤️
Get way too emotional at TRC videos...Great to see people achieve goals regardless if that is a 3hr marathon or 60 min 10k
Well done🎉❤. You've inspired me to believe that the sub 4:30 marathon I've been training for is achievable.
Incredible well done!! 💪
you've got this! Keep training and you'll make it happen!
This made me cry happy tears for you!
You just made me tear up Jess! Well done! Well done! Love from Manila Philippines 🎉
Jess made me cry 😢 but it's happy tears... Congratulations 😀💪🏽
Yes Jess!!! I am a fellow Jess who also cramped in the last mile of my marathon on Sat.

Jess - ' I dont know why im crying right now'.
Me - 'Me neither, Jess, me neither'.
Loved that. Congrats 🎉

Wow you absolutely smashed your goal as well, huge congrats.
I'M NOT CRYING!!! WHAT A CHAMP JESS!!!
Such great advice to imagine 4 quarters in those colors. I'll use that for me.
Jess you are incredible! Thanks for another incredible story TRC. Who the heck keeps cutting onions!!!!
Truly inspirational.. Iam chasing the sub 3 marathon and after watching YOU i believe i can do it.. Thank you for sharing your experience 😍
Running my first ever marathon in 12 days. This is fun to watch 🎉
So good! Congrats Jess, I’ve told heaps of people about you missing out on sub 3 by 11 seconds (just brutal) and now can tell that you came back and did sub 3!
Got my first trail race on Saturday and I've not been able to train for nearly two weeks. I was in a pretty grim place mentally because of that but this has lifted me. I'm going to put faith all the weeks of training in the bag and give all I can. Thank you.
You got this! As long as you are healthy on race day you will have lost very little fitness, and have really fresh legs. Have a nice race!
Jess. You did it. Brilliant. I didn’t know why I was crying either watching you. Inspirational x.
Wow Jess, that was amazing!!! Huge congratulations!!
Jess you're such an inspiration. Getting through that final 400m with a cramp shows true grit and determination. Congrats on your PB! =D
The happiest I have ever been watching a TRC video. Way to go, Jess!
What a Fighter! Followed this journey from the beginning and happy I did. Deserved entry into the sub3 club. 🎉
Had tears in my eyes at the end 🥹
What a run! What a video. This is a great reason to watch The Running Channel.
Congrats Jess! So happy for you!🎉

Jess you are such an inspiration. 🎉
I have been loving all the TH-camrs coverage of Berlin, it's been such a great watch, but Jess is the only person to make me choke up. BERLIN LEGEND!
Check Philly Bowden's too
I feel like this video doesn't show the chaos and disorganisation of so many parts of Berlin Marathon weekend (e.g. Expo), but it does bring back so many good memories of running last weekend. Congratulations Jess!
What I love with this channel is that even when it’s runners way beyond anything I’m capable of, it’s still relatable. Congrats Jess.
Great work Jess!
Love watching your pb videos
Wow incredible!! Well done!
Proud of you Jess!
Congratulations on winning that BMW!
(haven't watched the video yet, just seen the thumbnail)
You're an absolute superstar! The number one battle is against your own demons and you crushed them. Also, fighting through the pain is one of those wonderfully bittersweet flavours most people simply miss out on... The sweet part of the bittersweet comes a bit after the race... Congratulations Jess!!!
Absolutely fabulous 🤩
Ran a PB this year as well, the emotions over the line were too much and I blubbed for a solid 2 minutes. There is nothing wrong with releasing months of focus and effort after it culminates into a beautiful moment. Congratulations
My favourite TRC video yet. You’re an inspiration Jess!
Amazing! Makes me want to work hard to break sub 2 for half mara!
Wow that final finish!! And those cramps!! You left it all out there 👏👏👏👏 excellent work young Jess.
I knew she got it from following Jess on Instagram, but this still brought tears to my eyes. YOU KILLED IT JESS!!!! Congrats!
Absolutely amazing!! Well Done.
Been following you on Instagram throughout this process - it’s been so inspirational ❤
Offft someone cutting onions in here, Berlin didn't work out for me as I hoped but still happy with the PB as i really didnt think it would go as it did. this was quite an emotional watch, ive have a sub 3 dream maybe time to as you so eloquently said "Believe that I can, but decide I will"

Congratulations Jess! That was the best! So happy for you.
That was just brilliant, very inspiring. I knew Jess had achieved her goal before I started watching, but still I was (in my head, lol!) shouting to the tv ‘go Jess, run!’ as she was approaching the finish line. What an amazing performance!
Damn . Inspirational. My best time is close to 4 hours. Absolutely insane
well. done on your sub 3hr marathon!
Jess, this was amazing. Well done well done well done!
I get super nervous before races and especially pb attempts. I found your whole video very relatable especially as I’m going to be trying to break 3:30 for the first time in 13 days 😳
Congrats Jess! Taylor is such a gem ❤ so amazing to have his support
What an amazing video! Jess is such an inspiring athlete. I'm sat here crying with her, the marathon finish line is an emotional place to be.
Waouh !!!! Congratulations Jess
Loved seeing you dig so deep and giving it your all. Congrats Jess, you crushed it!
