Good morning from Oslo [laughs].
Today is the marathon day for us.
It’s going to be beautiful, hopefully.
Just seems like we’ve got a blue sky and it’s not super cold at least.
I’m going to switch to my go Pro later on.
Now we’re just trying to find coffee and a little bit of breakfast before the race.
So the bib number is way too big, so I have to fold it.
Just to make sure it’s not going to be in the way when you’re running.
That is his idea.
Bjorn: I don’t know how this works.
Back to the Narvasen.
This is kind of like our go to place for breakfast or the convenience of drink and food and coffee
and some of these fresh pastries for25 kroner.
Not a bad price.
I got a chocolate croissant.
I’m pretty impressed.
This is actually pretty good.
What’s that?
Bjorn: That’s my kickstarter.
Açai bowl, a baguette, and a tea and now I’m ready for my run.
Just enjoying our coffee and breakfast - and tea - before our race.
All right.
Switching to go Pro to see if it’s going to work out.
Just left our hotel to walk 13 minutes to Radhuset.
And that’s where the starting line is.
We are here.
A little bit nervous.
But excited and just ready to go.
[Music and people talking]
Starting in like 2 minutes!
[Music]
Passing Vigeland Park!
[Music]
Thanks!
Keeps you hydrated!
Redbull!
I’m kidding.
This is just water.
Oh, actually they do have Redbull.
But I just got the water.
Next time!
[Music]
Arriving at some of the Oslo landmarks.
And this is one of them.
This is Vigeland Park.
That’s why am running the Oslo marathon.
Just for that.
The houses here are so beautiful.
Of course this is close to Vigeland park which is the main park in Oslo.
Of course, they can afford whatever.
[Music]
Support!
Is this Redbull?
Yes!
This is crazy!
This is an energy drink, technically.
Yeah.
It’s definitely Redbull!
[Music]
10k!
That’s a quarter of the distance.
But of course it’s getting closer to the finish line.
[Music]
So we just passed a water station.
And I thought it was water, but it’s some kind of a coffee mix.
It’s interesting.
I’ve never run a marathon with just random drinks thrown at you.
So Redbull, energy drinks, coffee, and of course water.
That’s the least important thing.
[Music]
Hey!!!!
[Music]
They probably think we’re crazy.
Running a full marathon.
Wooooooooo!
Water?
Yes. Thank you!
[Music]
Wow!
That was pretty hilly!
[Music]
That was such a brutal hill.
That’s crazy.
It’s going downhill!
Redbull?
Yayyyy!
At first, I thought it was kind of funny to have Redbull at a marathon.
But actually, since I like Redbull, it taste pretty good.
Doesn’t really affect me whatsoever, but it tastes good.
Such a pretty marathon.
So that’s the leader.
That’s probably going to be the winner of the Oslo marathon.
And I’m not even halfway there yet.
[Music]
20k!
Woo hoo!
[Music]
Water.
It’s good for you.
I just passed the halfway point of my marathon.
The Oslo marathon means running to of the half marathon’s.
So now, I already got a preview of what’s coming up next.
The second half.
And I’m just going to finish it.
Woo hoo!
[Music]
25k.
So I’ve got about 17k left to go.
I need water here pretty soon.
Water?
Thank you.
[Music]
A lot of times, the Oslo marathon is pretty sparse.
A lot of times you just run by yourself.
That simply because the Oslo marathon is only about 3000 runners.
The majority of runners here are actually doing the half.
But the total runners here today is actually 18,000 runners.
We are approaching the Vigeland park again.
[Music]
Woo hoo!
[Music]
Just passed kilometer 28 back there.
Just keep going!
And the cool thing about the Sun is that it’s never really right above us.
Because this is way up in the north.
So it’s sort of like always going into the horizon.
So that’s why even though it’s around noon, 1 o’clock, it still feels like it’s
kind of in the morning.
Pretty cool.
[Music]
Just had a dose of Redbull, banana, and water.
Keeps me going!
[Music]
I am for an energy boost.
So birthday cake!
Happy birthday!
Tastes funny.
Oh well.
[Music]
All right.
I’m a bit cramped up here.
It’s cramping.
It’s pretty painful.
Just passed kilometer 32.
That means it’s the 20 mile mark.
And we’ve got six more miles to go.
Enough warming up and now I’m in a 10K race.
Starting right now.
Some motivation.
This station, they actually serve cold coffee mixed with Coca-Cola.
It’s bizarre, but it tastes not too bad actually.
[Music]
It tastes exactly like what it is.
Coca-Cola and coffee mix together.
We just passed kilometer 33 and the goal is just to keep going and keep vlogging!
[Music]
Halef! Halef! Halef! Halef! Halef!
[Music]
It is such a beautiful day here at the Oslo promenade.
And of course I would rather be sitting down instead of finishing up the Oslo marathon.
Like everyone says “Pain is temporary, but glory is eternal!“
So I’m just going to finish strong.
[Music]
Yay!
Water station.
I really need a few Redbulls!
Water?
Thank you.
Banana?
Thank you.
[Music]
It’s good for you.
A cruise ship.
I wonder how many people Are being transported there?
I’m sure it’s like thousands and thousands of people.
[Bells ringing and people cheering]
35k!
I just never learn from my experience.
Running a marathon is not an easy task.
My life goal is to run seven marathons on seven continents.
In 2019, I’m going to run the Antarctica marathon.
[Music]
I think we’re between 36 and 37k.
That means we have about six more kilometers to go.
I think at this point, we’re pretty exhausted.
People are still trying to finish strong.
Just can’t wait to cross the finish line.
Norwegian military is also pretty prominent here.
People do respect and honor their military.
And this Oslo marathon, there are a few of them running in full gear.
It’s definitely hard enough to run for just regular runners.
But if you have boots and camo, it’s definitely not easy.
Respect!
Great job, Norwegian military!
Doing a great job.
[Music]
This is not exaggerating.
This is a very hilly area.
Phew! three more kilometers to go.
And I’ll be done.
[Music]
I think that’s the leader for the half marathon.
It actually started much much later than the full marathon.
[Music]
Ahhhh.
Rubber mat.
A treat for my feet.
I’m out of juice and I have to pee.
About two more k’s to go.
I’m going to finish it for sure.
I think.
Unless I just pass out right now.
Gamgfelt.
By the Barnevognhuset.
I speak Norwegian!
[Music]
They just ran the half.
Well, but they’re winning.
I’ve seen this thing four times now.
[Music]
600 m to finish!
[Music]
[Sound of feet hitting pavement]
[Music]
I’m done!!!
[Music]
Oooooooooh!
Yayyyyy!
Obviously, we both finished the Oslo marathon.
I’m so glad I’m done!
Cramps and everything!
Torture!
Yay!
Thank you.
[Music]
I’m such a fool.
I didn’t even realize how dirty my clothes are.
This is all salt.
Yeah.
I’m a big mess.
Damn!
I need a shower.
