First Sub 3 Attempt Fail - 2024 Vancouver Marathon Race Recap | Course Overview | Pacing Strategy

Vancouver was my marathon # 3. Every race has a story, and this is the story of my Vancouver race, where I cover what went well and the mistakes I made with great race footage made by my wife riding on the bike. I made a 10:41 PB but fell short of trying to get a sub 3. I am super proud of the final result but I made this race to be super hard for myself. I learned a lot from this race and I have amazing memories.

I tried to put a lot of information about this race and the course itself, so if you are planning to run the race for the first time, this video may be useful and informative.

I started running at 47 years old and ran my first race - a marathon in Toronto in 2023, when I was 49. Before running marathons my most active and busy sport was tennis. I started running during Covid times and while recovering from shoulder injury and I could not continue tennis. I started to get very passionate about running and came to love and enjoy the marathon distance.

I hope you enjoy this video, let me know in the comments what your thoughts are.

Vlad.
