What Was I Thinking, It's CHRISTMAS!

- I thought I'd document the running I did over Christmas 2023 on the lead up to my race in Hereford at the end of December.
Training at this time of year is so tough!

Well done,I think we are all lacking solar vibes at the moment. Exciting news about your marathon plan.happy new year.🎉
Happy New Year to you also - I can't wait for sunnier days!
You nailed it when you mentioned heading to the hills with Daisy. There is something special about trail running which you don’t get when pounding the tarmac, like me you’re extremely lucky to have a playground which you can virtually call your extended backyard. You’ve had an awesome 2023 and a massive 2024 fixture list to look forward to. Keep up the great work, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year when it comes 🏃🏻♂️
That's exactly it - the hills and trails are probably harder work but I just feel a bit more alive than on roads, and it helps me to sort my head out a bit too. Bring on 2024, I can't wait!
Tough to push through when motivation is low, but impressed you did it Andy!
Cheers Geoff, sometimes I just need to remember that the thought of it is often worse than actually running. Cheers mate 👍🏻
Road running is like an essay it flows, Trail running is like a story, you never what's round the corner
Fell running Poetry
Keep on running
I shall remember that one, thanks very much!
How odd, I also randomly signed up to the Valencia marathon this week! We are about the same pace so hopefully I'll see you out on the course!
Awesome! I've never booked a race this far out before, I'm normally so last minute. 11 months to prepare!
🧀🙋🏻♀️ 🏃
Thanks for watching mate 👍🏻
Doing the Valencia half this October. Not the same day but I'll let you know how flat and lovely the city is when I'm back. I've had too many chocs, too much work, too much doing nothing. Got to start that Newport training tomorrow! Thank god your videos motivate me! NY Day parkrunning anywhere mate?
For anyone that wants to know, tartiflette is a dish made with the French cheese reblochon, cream, lardons, onions and potatoes… 😂
Me last night "he doesnt like he's running that well at present. He'll be lucky to get a pb".
Me this morning "look he got a pb"!
Hahahahaha!
It really was a strange feeling the other day, tight chest, lethargic, tired and frustrated. Somehow I managed to feel relaxed on raceday which was the best battle to win.
You are literally copying my training now, quit it 😂
Manchester last year, I have Newport (aim
You're copying me are you? Haha. Looking forward immensely to 2024. Will consider a coach, but tbh it's not top of my priorities for a decent while I don't think, maybe in the future!
Just signed up for Valencia too and I'm also going to throw the kitchen sink at it. More milage than ever, clean up my diet and more time in the gym and hopefully stay injury free. Just need more shoes and find my courage and motivation along the way 😅👊🏿
Sounds like a plan. Good news is that its nearly 12 months away, so plenty of time for a good bit of prep.
I did Valencia this year. You're gonna love it!!!
Ah nice one! Good to hear, I'm so excited!
So great Andy you just did it. I have the same strugle with getting out in this weather its dark its windy and no sunshine at all. Just so bad. Mental its hard not getting out. Inga Dk.
Thanks Inga, the seasonal affective disorder is real! (SAD)

Exactly what I started saying but didn't realise I'd been cut off 🤣 That cheese is something else isn't it..
Valencia? See you on the start line Andy cos I am signed up too. Going to be awesome 😎
Nice one Tony! See you there, 11 months to prepare 💪🏻
Have you cut a hole in your blue long run jacket for your watch?!
Yes bud - in my Chester marathon long sleever. There's thumbholes which I like to use, and can never see my watch so got the scissors out to make some modifications... I wouldn't do it on an item I'd spent my own dosh on!
I'm just jealous of all those running brand shops at Cannock! 😅 Merry Christmas, Andy 👍🏻🏃♂️
Cheers Mark - merry Christmas and HNY to you. Cannock is dangerous for the bank account!
Great stuff, Andy. I can't believe so many attended the Christmas Day parkrun!
It was bonkers wasn't it! Well done on the run you did, hard going atm isn't it. And fair play to Jaz for sticking round to the end taking all them amazing photographs!
I had intervals today, self-talk was quite the same lol. I appreciate all your running buddies but I gotta say, Daisy takes the top spot 💞 all the best in 2024 to the three of you, looking forward to following your new advnetures
Intervals are such a necessary evil aren't they. Bring in 2024! Daisy says woof woof (translated means hi).❤️
See you in Valencia!
Valencia baby!!!!!!💪🏻
Good Luck for today !!!
Thanks Vicky ❤️
Was a great watch today, we hope you had a great Christmas 🎉 and awesome news about Valencia 🤯
Thanks guys - glad to see you guys also made it out to Parkrun on Xmas day ❤️
Just booked a 10k for March. Optimistically said predicted time of 42 mins. Previously best was 43:10 but that was Alton Towers tough course as you know mate. All the best for 2024.
Thanks! Will also book a 10k for March if I can too, will see what's about and if I'm fit enough. Nice one 👊🏻
Good luck tomorrow. Sending positive vibes. 🎉
Hope to see you at the start line in Valencia next year - it's going to be epic!
Nice one Rod, yes I'll hope to see you there!
Smashed those Christmas miles mate 👏 Think I'm just starting to get some motivation back after 4 runs in two weeks 🫣 good luck with the 10k buddy 💪
Cheers mate, I bet you're looking forward to seeing the back of this Christmas, it's been a tough one for you. Cheers bud - bring on 2024!
