Statistically only 1% of the population has run a marathon. Of that 1%, less than 5% have done it in under 3 hours (including males & females). l love the fact that you have set a huge stretch goal. In my books, an even more admirable feat is your commitment to still compete when you don’t think you can achieve the result you want. Berlin is an amazing city. I’ve only done the warm up event (half marathon) but it was fabulously flat. I’m sure you’ll have a blast! All the best.
Thank you for this reminder! I pivoted from marathons to sprint triathlons due to joint pain, and I’m loving this new challenge!
A win for listening to your body and finding a sport that feels better for you! :)
I’ve done one sprint tri and it was so fun! Such a different challenge but the same sense of accomplishment!
Love it!

Such a great reminder to help keep things in perspective! Thanks for the support!! Definitely excited to explore and enjoy the city!
I'm thinking of writing a Substack piece on Berlin soon so you have given me added incentive.
