How to run the New York City Marathon from the very back | FULL COURSE HD

Like, comment, and subscribe, trying to see if this can start as a running channel! Final Chip Time - 6:06:31

So I GoPro-d my first ever marathon, running the 2022 New York City Marathon on November 6th, 2022. After only starting to run in quarantine and getting to the big stage just over 2 years later, I figured this could provide an in-depth view for anyone thinking of starting to run a marathon or get into marathon running what it feels like just starting out.

Happy to answer any questions about how to get started training for a marathon and what it takes to sign up in the comments! (Haven't decided if I want to make this a full-fledged channel, if there's enough likes/comments/subscriptions suggesting people want to know, I'll give it a go)

Camera - GoPro Hero 8 (Lesson learned, definitely will be going for the head/chest mount over the hand mount next time)

As interesting as it is to watch the pros and semi-pros run, there really is nothing better than watching ordinary people do something extraordinary!! Congrats on the strong finish!! This is such an inspiration!!

[ChristianRunsNY]

Way to finish strong! Really cool to see the whole day play out, and the sunset!

[rosamaryp]

I'm running my first marathon this Nov (2024) and I loved how you yelled at the end!!! I got so teary eyed! Because I could feel your emotion to finish. I know for sure, that will be the same thing I do. Looking forward to running those 5 boroughs! Congratulations !!!!

[Vplay.]

Thank you for sharing this 👍👍👍 I'm running the NYC marathon this year and this helps me to be mentally prepared

[Iggystar]

Nothing cringey about that finish…YOU ROCK!!!

[cftn]

Excellent! Thanks for filming this! I felt your pain when you cramped just before the finish but you did it!

[cathynewyork]

Congratulations on finishing your first marathon. I am proud of you! You did this relatively soon after you became a runner, so this is quite an accomplishment!

[peterspagnolo]

Thankyou and congratulations. Am training presently for NYC this year, 2025. This is great inspiration. 145 days to go!

[Iggystar]

Slow and steady wins the race. Seriously, this is the video I need. I’ve been wondering if a full marathon is too much for me to handle…perhaps I can do it with the right training. How long did you train for?

[robb]

I felt that roar at the end! Made me a bit emotional experiencing someone else's first marathon finish with them. Awesome work 💪😎

[cathynewyork]

You helped me re-live my own experience of the first time I did the NYC Marathon. I loved it so much that I came back and did it 22 times - I hope you will come back and "conquer" the course again also!

[whackypanda]

Way to go, Pete!! Awesome meeting up beforehand, let's do it again sometime! haha

[carmenpedrazarenedo]

Congratulations! This year I will run or walk the New York Marathon... I want to experience the atmosphere and the energy that is there. I wanted to ask you: How many hours did you do it? Do they give you a medal at the end? Thank you very much for showing your career... you are very brave.

[barbaraglover]

Thank you very much for showing the New York City Marathon I enjoy every minute of see you Nov 5 23 take care

[BoroBen]

Congrats on the awesome finish! Seemed like such an awful day heat/humidity wise, I don't even know that I would've made it to the halfway point

[giangpham-dac]

I ran the NYC Marathon this year and your video gave me a lot of souvenirs. I am curious have you used a Go Pro to record the full course ?

[beny]

Its cool you documented this! I'm going to try my best to get in 2025. Can I ask, what was the file size of this 6hr video? Did you run into any overheating issues with the gopro? thank you

[Lucy-svym]

Thank-you so very much for this. I am running this year and it will be my first, also first visit to New York. I expect to be back of the pack, so this has been invaluable. What did you find most comfortable on the run/walk method, minute ratio?

[madelynrodriguez]

I need to watch it in detail... a 3:16:25-38, you were passing my family!!! I saw them on the video. So you must have passed me on the course at some point. I finished 6:15 because of some cramping and saying hi to my family, which I do not normally do in training. We ran a heck of a marathon!!! Didn't we??

[oddmanout]

I’ll be running NYC marathon this year. Approximately what time did you start for your wave?
