Thanks mate. I’ve got a fair way to catch your half and marathon PRs but I’ll keep trying 👊. Good to see you starting back. I can’t remember if I mentioned in this vlog but the reason I was out injured was also a sacral stress fracture. They are very frustrating but you now get to enjoy the rebuilding 👊💪. I’m looking forward to following along.
You didn’t just break 15, you smashed it! Loved your roar of delight as you approached the line. And the “it’s that Welsh runner guy”! Really pleased for you Matt
Goosebumps watching you cross the line. I’m two weeks out from a half PB attempt and this is exactly the motivation I need to see right now. Well done!
Thanks for the reply! Really enjoyed your story-telling and the roar as you were approaching the finish line showed how much it meant to you, i'll be doing the same too eventually 🙂
@@TheWelshRunner glad I spotted you today before the run and said hi and well done for this 5k. I hope your 10k went well. It must be odd having random strangers coming up to you like they know you but that's the vlogger life I guess. I got nice even pacing across the 45mins and was thanked by a number of people for guiding them to a PB. Very satisfying.
Amazing and inspiring Matt.This fuels my sub 20 quest so so bad. I know it's not much but I've been trying to get sub 20 and for some reason, it's psychologically very hard to get that 3:59/km for 5K. All training seems to point I should be able to do it but haven't been able to produce that on race day. I just dialed back a bit and now upping mileage to 50mpw and with that I hope to smash that 20 barrier. I know I can do it, and I'll give it a good roar like you did once I crush it!
Great video Matt. Thanks for the credit. The quality of my clips looks better on your video than they do on my phone....and I shot them!! I've got to say too you're very much a dab hand at the editing now, the me arrow and the fact the arrow follows you along the screen...you'd get a gig editing in Hollywood the way you're going! Impressive.
Watching from Thailand! Your videos are reaching across the globe and love seeing a bit of home whilst living abroad! Huge inspiration! 45 this year and been running for just over a year and have had the 20min mark in my sights for a while now but can’t seem to get it! Great to see your perseverance and loved your raw emotion of the PB! That’s what it’s all about, that personal growth and improvement, consistency and perseverance. Massive congrats Matt!
Absolutely!! Thanks for coming down and showing your support and the photos are epic. I think that finishing photo is one of my favourites ever. Captures the whole series in one photo.
Fantastic. I’m so happy all your hard work paid off and you smashed your goals. My son who is ten has a 5k race tomorrow and he is aiming to break 19:45. He’s done 19:30 on road but this is a cross country race.
Man oh man! Matt.... Congratulations! What an inspiration this is! So well deserved! You refused to give in... You refused to give up on the dream and you got it! This is just the motivation I needed as I head into a 10k time trial tomorrow morning in preparation for a November half marathon PR attempt! I'll follow your lead and I'll keep pushing!
Perseverance parrot Matt..... Get in there, chuffed to bits for you. You put the work in and got your result at last. Whenever I need a dose of motivation, I just need to watch one of your videos and I'm buzzing again
So, so pleased for you. Back to basics. Racing a race to beat as many people as possible rather than time trialling in a group paid off. Top Vlog of the year.
Seeing your progress and how hard you work is inspirational Matt. Always gets my blood pumping and makes me want to run fast. Illness and injury has made this year a real disappointment so still chasing sub 3 for the marathon.
Thanks for the support. Good luck with your sub 3 goal. I’m sure you’ll get it. Difficult times will pass. Hang in there and that performance is coming 👊💪
Great to see you smash it!!!! I’ve been following the journey indeed the set backs and getting up going for it regardless definitely makes success even sweeter!!!! Well done
I will say, I started yelling with you in the video. Apologies to my neighbors. I’m coming back from a stress fracture myself and this is so inspirational to see as I embark back to training. Congrats man on to the next goal!
Love it Matt. I follow you on Strava so I was waiting for this video… I’ve got some races coming up and watching this video gives me gets me really motivated and excited. Hopefully I can join you in the sub15 club soon 😉
Chuffed for you Matt! Been great to follow the journey. Gotta say, that photo of you and the clock (10:32 into this video) needs to be printed and placed on the wall somewhere as a reminder of what you can achieve when you put your mind to it! Kudos sir!
Love this video mate. Motivates me to.push for sub 15. I really want it! Armagh 5k in February 2023 gona go all in!!! And will be watching this video more than once on the build up 🤣
Am so happy for u 🙏❤ great race and work! I know ur feeling .. its amazing .. I remember my self I try sub 2.20 in marathon .. after 5 attempt I run 2.19 and later my pb 2.16 ... so never give up ur dreams ❤👍🏻
Congratulations Matt!! This is by far my favourite video of yours. Superb to be watching you on this journey and then smash the sub-15. 🎉 The reaction crossing the line was perfect. Pure joy.
I can't believe you did that but then again I can. One word OUTSTANDING. I will be thinking about your run on my Park Run at Colby Woodland Gardens in Amroth tomorrow. May even use your tactics 😆😆Well done Matt. 😀😀
Incredible! Congratulations!! It so fun to see the hard work paying off and it's such a good reminder that it doesn't click every time, but when it does, wow wow!
dude! INSPIRING. We basically have the same PR now, lets gooooooooooooo

This one hit me in the feels... Amazing work and determination 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks Edu. Appreciate the support 👊
Imagine Kipchoge winning this run over and over again in a full marathon and looking like a sunday morning jog.
Does give us a good perspective how insane he is really
Woah! You destroyed it! Huge congrats. The hard work really paid off.
Thanks for the spoiler!
@@user-rl3ef4ju9k exactly what i was going to write!
@@user-rl3ef4ju9k No probs! Anytime.
Goosebumps watching you cross the line. I’m two weeks out from a half PB attempt and this is exactly the motivation I need to see right now. Well done!
Well done on the PB! I tried to go sub 20 today and failed... Randomly got recommended your video, earnt a new subscriber, i'm not giving up :D
Thanks for subscribing Jon. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. You’ll get that sub 20. Great to hear you’re not giving in 👊
Thanks for the reply! Really enjoyed your story-telling and the roar as you were approaching the finish line showed how much it meant to you, i'll be doing the same too eventually 🙂
That roar is the sound of bliss. What a tremendous sight to see. Well done!
Kel: 14:45 or don't bother coming home
Matt: .... oh... will this do?
🤣 pretty much yeah.

Well done Matt - great achievement. Sub 30 10K or Sub 2:25 marathon next perhaps?
He's got to do the 10K now 😅

Amazing, that roar gave me a lump in the throat and dust in the eyes.
