I Ran a Marathon in Old Shoes. Don't Let Gear Be a Barrier

New shoes are awesome, but we don't need them to get started. In this video, I revisit my first ever running shoe from 2019 to run a marathon. I discuss what gear you really do need for training, how running can improve quality of life and the importance of personal goal-setting. I also take you through my marathon recovery meals. 0:00 - Intro 1:31 - Pre-Run Preparation 5:36 - The Shoes 8:42 - Why I'm Doing This 11:51 - The Gear I'm Wearing 14:56 - Breakfast 26:37 - Lacing Up the 2019 Nikes 29:05 - Running the Marathon 38:26 - Post-Run Thoughts 39:19 - Team Tillman (Please Donate) 43:50 - Fueling Review 47:08 - What You Need to Start Running 56:05 - 2019 Nikes Run Performance 1:00:22 - Marathon Recovery Food 1:08:32 - Importance of Sleep 1:10:35 - Dinner 1:13:21 - One More Thing: Closet Case Please donate to Team Tillman, my 2024 Chicago Marathon foundation: https://fundraisers.hakuapp.com/yowana Link to affordable beginner shoes I mentioned: Nike Vomero 17 for $114 (I said in video it was $95 but price went up to $114): https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/nike-mens-vomero-17-running-shoes-23nikmvmr17blkvltrnn/23nikmvmr17blkvltrnn Asics-Gel Kayano 30 for $120: https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/asics-mens-gel-kayano-30-running-shoes-23asimglkyn30blckmns/23asimglkyn30blckmns New Balance Propel v4 for $70: https://www.dsw.com/product/new-balance-fuelcell-propel-v4-running-shoe-mens/544912
