Seoul Marathon 2024! Can I Run My First Sub 4 Hour Marathon AT AGE 50?!

After more than four years of training, I finally attempt to run the Seoul Marathon 2024 – the largest and most prestigious running event in South Korea. The Seoul Marathon way back in 2020 was supposed to be my first marathon attempt. After a year of training, the pandemic caused the event to be shut down and my running was put on hold for a while… Now, months away from my 50th birthday, I figured it’s now or never! Time to seal the deal and finish what I started!

My first marathon, at a smaller event five months earlier, served as a needed test run. It was a great experience, and I did complete the distance, but I was NOT prepared for those final miles. My knees, ankles, quads, hamstrings (everything!) were so tattered at the three-quarters mark, I was reduced to walking down the stretch and couldn’t finish in a manner (or time) I felt proud of.

Now, five months later—at Seoul Marathon 2024—I seek redemption. The goal is a sub 4 hour marathon. Strong through to the end. Will I reach my goal and cross the finish line in less than 4 hours?!
