Harry Styles Ran the Berlin Marathon—and Broke 3 Hours

The pop star battled the heat in Berlin and ran to a big personal best in his second marathon of the year.

Harry Styles can probably afford amazing trainers

He has a gift for pacing, damn near even.

Styles, who ran under the alias “Sted Sarandos,” once again ran very even splits. He ran the first half of the race in 1:29:08, and then completed the second 13.1 miles in 1:30:06. In Tokyo, the 31-year-old paced the race with remarkable consistency, running the first half in 1:42:03, then split a nearly-identical 1:42:04 during the second half.

With the new watches , pacing is no longer a required skill . You can just look at your watch . I do it all the time now . And it has made me a better runner

Kofuzi goes home devastated.

I thought you had to qualify for Berlin? How did he get in.

Anyway I am not impressed. With his money and free time he should be running faster.

Why even bother using a fake name when it'll get reported on anyway

I think he's going to keep getting better. We'll see!

Thats great you were able to hang on like that at the end. Its not easy to pace that perfectly.

You forgot to answer my question though :). Looks like you accidentally committed it from your response. Which marathon did you do this at?

Money can do alot of things, including making women stay around you longer. But physiologically, it can only help someone so much with their running performance. Even those who buy their way to the top of everest with sherpas have to do some degree of physical labor and exertion to get there.

I am pretty sure he has pretty decent running gene. Probably wasn't even going all in. Just doing enough to break 3.

Probably didn’t want screaming fans tracking him and following around the course.

Dang, that's so close to 3:07 pace for half the distance! Must have put on a lot of weight and hardly trained if he has run 4:30 for 1600 and then that performance for 13.1.

Harry's good looks and charisma derailed a potential running career.

Awesome run for Harry. I know musicians like him have to be in good shape to be moving around stage and interacting with the crowd while singing well, but a sub-3 marathon (6:49 mile pace for 26 miles) is still really impressive (I wouldn’t come close in my best shape lol). Berlin is a fast course, but you’ve still gotta be in shape to run the time, plus I think it was pretty hot today.

Side note my gf who doesn’t care about running (outside of how much I care about it), but likes Harry Styles, thought it was super cool and impressive. For whatever that’s worth.

I would’ve thought harry runs well over 4h.

It's called a humble brag

Lmao

He clearly puts in quite a bit of training, it's impressive someone who has invested so much of his life into music is choosing and following through with doing that much marathon training.

My gf read the headlines about this performance and asked me too. Our friend ran a disappointing 2:18 there, he was expecting closer to 2:12 but said it was hot.

I told her that 90% of the local run club attendees in our city will never break 3, and most would be thrilled to break 2 in a half. But among my group, sub 3 is just our easy pace and 2:30 is considered a decent performance. For the women in our group, sub 3 would be an ok performance, 2:45-2:50 would be a nice decent one.
