My first sub 4 hr marathon

This video captures my full journey to running my first sub-4-hour marathon, from lessons I learned in my first attempt 2 years ago here in sydney to crossing the finish line in 3:48 at the Huskisson Running Festival. I chat about how I prepared, what I did differently this time, and how running has completely changed my mindset towards life and how it even has filtered into my business. If you’re training for your first marathon, chasing a new PB, or just need motivation to push past limits this one’s for you.
