I ran my first ever Half Marathon - Berlin Halbmarathon 2026 VLOG

A few days in Berlin, dialing things in and then race day. Actually my first ever half marathon. Didn’t know exactly what to expect going in because I’ve been dealing with intense back pain over the last few weeks. So I just wanted to run a smart race and see where I’m at. Crazy atmosphere, fast course and honestly one of the best race experiences so far. This one’s a mix of everything: Training, meeting people, city moments, race prep and the full race day energy. Time to build from here. 🎥 OVERVIEW 0:00 T-4 0:56 Networking Event 1:24 T-3 4:00 Gym Sesh 5:19 T-2 6:23 Primer Run 7:58 T-1 8:10 Race Gear 9:18 Shakeout Run 11:43 Race Day 12:58 Race Start 15:14 Race Recap 🔗 CONNECT Instagram:   / nicorauchenwald   Strava:   / strava   Website: https://www.nicorauchenwald.com/ Gear: https://www.amazon.de/shop/nicorauche...
