So many disappointed faces after London yesterday… but here’s the truth you need to hear 👇
No one will remember your time.
Your friends and family didn’t come for a number on a clock.
They’d have been proud of you anyway.
They came to see you finish.
Running a marathon is hard enough.
Doing it in the heat with little cloud cover? After spending months training in the freezing cold! That’s next level.
The watch doesn’t tell the story.
The story is you vs your brain for 42km.
The story is every moment you wanted to stop but didn’t.
The story is crossing that line, no matter what the clock said.
That’s what makes you a marathoner. 🏅
Not a PB. Not a time.
I know it’s hard not to look at the clock and feel like you failed.
But stop for a second. You’re not an elite runner! You’re out here training like a full time job whilst having a full time job! You don’t need a time to validate your success!
Who were you 16 weeks ago?
Before the early mornings. Before the long runs. Before you learned what you were actually capable of.
That person didn’t finish a marathon yesterday.
You did.
The training didn’t just change your fitness.
It changed you.
YOUR discipline. YOUR resilience. YOUR belief in yourself and YOU are now part of history!
Wait till you tell the grandkids now old are you part of the 1% club you also shared the streets with:
Sabastian Sawe and his 1:59:30.
The first human being in history to break 2 hours in a sanctioned marathon race. Ever.
You were there. You were on that same course. You shared that day.
You were part of history. 🌍
Marathons aren’t meant to be pretty.
They’re meant to show you what you’re made of.
And yesterday, you proved it.
Save this. Send this. Someone needs it. ❤️
