Los Angeles Marathon (LAM) 2024

I'm almost there! I'll get there! Sorry for all the hype to only deliver this much. Something I'm still wrestling with a bit more, but I'm happy to still be able to run at this level. The running community is amazing and it makes the journey so much funner. This was one of my favorite LA Marathons yet and the vibes this time was Amazing. Gotta love the LA marathon for always incurring a first embarrassing moment 💩. IYKYK.

Enjoy~

A race weekend / recap is something I have planned! So stay tuned.

Congratulations, Alvin! I also ran the LA Marathon, which was my 6th time, and I experienced those same bowel movements that complete screwed up my intentions of breaking 4 hours. However, for the first time ever, I ran for at least/more than 2 hours, and 20 miles straight; unfortunately, I, technically, hit the "wall", but I only stopped because the porta potty was calling my name lol... I had a lot more left in the tank if I did not have to go to the bathroom, but the positives outweigh the negatives that I am VERY content with, and I can honestly say (like you said) this was my best marathon despite not PR'ing.

Congrats Alvin, I was pacing a friend just 30 seconds in front of you, for the last 3 miles, the wind, sun and heat was a challenge that day, not to mention the darn rolling hills at the end 😬. I was turning back to help other friends and that’s when I saw you sprinting to the end. LA is a hard race so be proud of yourself 👏🏼💪🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼.

Congratulations Alvin! I loved seeing you having so much fun in this race. You absolutely killed it! Despite the mishap at the end you still had an amazing performance anyone would be proud of. You’ll get that Sub-3 soon I know it. So proud of you man! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

Alvin! Really enjoyed this video…so good! The part where you slowed down the time and Yohan and Isaac were running in slow motion, along with the background music, is so poetic ❤. Congratulations on completing such a strong build and finishing with a PR 😊

[DennisTernet]

First time catching one of your videos. Great job, so impressed you fought thru that and finished as fast as you did. Don’t worry about the result. You’re in such great shape now, lots of PRs ahead of you.

[manameisaaron]

10:27 is the most important cut 🤣. In all seriousness though, spectacular performance at LA--the time is not needed to validate the insane work you've put in behind-the-scenes to get to the start and finish lines. Like Anita said, it's already yours. You'll get it next time!

[yutheman]

Great race! You are def ready to break sub-3. LA is a tough course. You’ll get it on the next one 💯

[mattmtong]

Well run, sir. Got that nice summer wars friendship power boost for the second half. And your intro was so nice and spooky in an inspiring way.

[andrewfeher]

Dude, a 3:01 on that course is amazing -- you should be be very proud! Hope you pick a less hilly marathon for your next sub-3 attempt.

[smalls.]

Congrats on the PR bro. You crushed it. Sub 3 is up for grabs on the next one. 💪🏾

[bradonvega]

Congrats I did 3:08:37 on my 1st full at LA didn’t train correctly for those hills I wasn’t aware of lol

Congrats Alvin! What a day to remember! I ran right next to you at the finish line.
