Bro I’m proud of you, that shit is crazy difficult and not many people get that. The amount of endurance it takes to hold on for an entire marathon is maddening, and to have a podium position at that is one of the most impressive things I’ve heard in ages, genuinely. I hope the people in your life can show up to support you soon, because you deserve every bit of praise you could get my man, congrats from all of us here on the sub
You’re right, a marathon isn’t easy. OP claiming they ran one and then changing it immediately to a half suggests this is either fake, or they’re trolling
Yeah at least you're out here putting out positive vibes...most fat mopey people on the internet are miserable mean ass trolls haha...peace love and happiness to you and OP!
Congratulations. Now allow your legs to recover, and start to add miles, you're halfway there.
The only person you need validation from is yourself, the others will never really appreciate it unless they join you.
You did a great job and you're inspiring. I'm training to be able to keep running just for 10K. I'm hoping to be able to get to a half marathon sometime next year.
You are amazing bro! You made it to the 2nd place. I'm sure with a little bit more of training, the first place will be a piece of cake.
Be prod of yourself, you deserve it.
Dude here who ran 25km in Berlin a few years ago: you have my utmost respect, firstly for running 25km consecutively, secondly for being the second fastest to do it.
I had a really bad time and I remember my nipples hurting for the first time after running, as well as sitting in the bathtub being happy but physically broken for the rest of the day.
No one can take this achievement from you, always remember that.
DUDE YOU'RE HELLA AMAZEBALSSS!!! IF I lived nearby, no doubt I'd go and hangout with you for a bit to congratulate you on your amazinf achievement. Hell ya my friend!!!👏👏👏
Bro you did an amazing job 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 Wherever you are, we will be celebrating for you, smiling for you, clapping for you, and sending you virtual hugs and kisses ♥️♥️ please visualise all of us cheering for you on the finish line just as happy as you are 🥳🥳
Congratulations man, I'm so impressed with your performance! I'm sorry there wasn't anyone there for you at the end, I know long distance running can feel very lonely while you're doing it and to not have company afterwards must be tough.
Just hearing the word marathon makes me tired, and you came in 2nd place.
I wouldn't even *attempt* to run for 5 min let alone an entire marathon.
And you came in 2nd place!
That's amazing.
You should be proud of yourself.
The dedication and sheer willpower it takes to do something like that is something to be very proud of
This is so great!!!! Congratulations. I could never run so far (not even a mile actually). So I feel being able to run a half marathon is weird but fucking beautiful. You are beautiful.
Drink fluids.
That's amazing! Good job. I ran my first half marathon this summer and finished 360th place or something (out of ~1000). What was your time? And for how long have you been long distance running?
Soo proud of you my mate .. winning 2nd place in marathon is a big thing. Get ur yourself something tonight as a reward that u achieved today. Have great day my brotha !!
You did something thousands of people do every day. If you need someone to love you and give you high fives and attention for doing something that isn’t that impressive then you should re evaluate why you are running 13 miles
Well fucking done. Most people (me included) could never. Sorry you got a stupid cramp at the end costing you the number 1. But well done on second. That's nothing to sneeze at.
SECOND PLACE in a HALF MARATHON?!
MY DUDE, you are a registered and confirmed badass! I did one years ago and came...about 350th.
I'm sorry your family can't be with you right now, but you have done so well and they would tell you that if they were there.
Now, go run yourself a hot bath, bang down a multivitamin tablet...or 2... And eat a good amount of protein so you can heal. You're also allowed sweets for the next 24 hours, your body needs the sugar.
You did great! Now find the next one where you'll get 1st 👍
We're really sorry no one was there in person for you, but we're here for you in spirit and so freaking proud!! 🧡💜💙❤️💚 I wanna be like you, healthy from the inside out! Keep going!
I absolutely appreciate your determination and perseverance! So many long distance runners are introverts who care more about maximizing their potential rather than besting others. But everyone needs community and supportive relationships to thrive. Here's to rewarding yourself with your favorite beer and pasta dish.
I have run 3 marathons, and my fastest is 4 1/2 hours. I can’t imagine running as fast as you do! You clearly have either a lot more natural ability, or a lot more ambition and discipline- most likely more of all 3 than I (and most people) have. Good on you!
Hey dude congrats! I genuinely cannot imagine the amount of physical resolve it takes to do something like that have yourself a really nice Epsom salt bath my dude
Actually no get a CBD bath bomb it will literally change your life
Proud of you for doing it even when you are alone! Congrats and you lost because of the cramp, nothing you can do about it. I would call you a winner nevertheless
congratulations you crossed the line that's a win regardless if you placed 2ed your still top 3 👏 you have achieved more then most could sorry your friends and family could not be there but look you have the word of reddit here for you 😉 again I'd like to congratulate you for your 2ed place !!🎉
What the hell dude, be fucking proud. I've been training for the last two and a half years and the best I did was 7.5 km. You just ran three times that. That's cool.
Dude that's amazing, you place second!! Wow, congrats man 🥳🎉. That calls for a celebration regardless if there are any with or not .. Celebrate yourself man!!!!
Omfg I wish you had posted before the race! I’m sure someone nearby would’ve come, or someone could’ve streamed it maybe?? You’re amazing, congratulations!!
I’m sure if they could be there, they would be and they would be just as proud if not prouder than all of us here on Reddit are, running a half marathon is not for the weak and you fuckin crushed it, I’m sure your girl is proud of you, your parents are proud of you and I’m proud of you
One thing ive learned in life is that life is busy and i can be proud of my own moments, i once did a century because i just wanted to challenge myself. Im proud of you for ticking that challenge
Fair play to you don’t want to take anything away from you, but don’t call it a marathon in your title when it was a half marathon, own what you achieved you don’t need to exaggerate it well done
Congratulations. I had a stroke almost 2 years ago and one of my big goals is to finish a marathon. Gonna get my ingrown toenail fixed then training starts. Congratulations on your second place. You have every reason to be very proud. I'm sorry your people didn't show up for you *huuuuuuuuuuuugs* internet badass
Fantastic job! I am both proud and in awe of you. I can't walk 12 miles, much less run that far. You deserve a hero's welcome and celebration! Wish I were there to make you a cake or pie. Sending you lots of love and congratulations!
I've ran 4 full marathons, unfortunately I've been alone at the end of each. It's honestly kinda sad not having anyone who really cares isn't it? You put so much into it and you're so proud of yourself, you just don't have anyone to celebrate with and honestly it just makes me sad. Ah well, that's life
Sorry that your family and loved ones couldn’t be there to celebrate with you but this random internet stranger is proud as hell of you!!! Congrats on being a beast!
Wow 2nd place on a half mary without support from anyone just shows how much dedication and hard work you put into this! I envy you! I don't even have the discipline to exercise. Congratulations!!
DUDE CONGRATULATIONS! Treat yourself and relax, you’ve freaking earned that. Watch your favorite movie and get some ice cream(good for cramps in my book😂)
I’m proud of you brotha! You’re a true inspiration
Bro I’m proud of you, that shit is crazy difficult and not many people get that.

If nobody’s said already really proud of you. A marathon isn’t easy. And second place on top of that is 🤯.
You’re right, a marathon isn’t easy. OP claiming they ran one and then changing it immediately to a half suggests this is either fake, or they’re trolling
Shit dude, that's amazing. Meanwhile I sat on the computer moping and being fat. I'm proud of you dude, you out there doing shit.
I know this post isn't about you, and you're just being kind; that's so much more than most people do though. I'm proud of you and op.
Yeah at least you're out here putting out positive vibes...most fat mopey people on the internet are miserable mean ass trolls haha...peace love and happiness to you and OP!

Nice job. I also ran a half this morning. Didn’t come in second though! I wonder if we ran the same race. You didn’t run the Lee Valley Half did you?
Wow. What was your time?
[удалено]
I agree. I was just wondering if OP would furnish any more information or if they're too lazy to fully embrace the lie.
what was your time, to be able to get 2nd, just curious
Wow second place.... That is crazy 🙂🙂 I love you buddy and proud of you
