    Great job Freddy, you did it. This works for me in the Florida heat and you might consider it. I always wear sunglasses so it looks like I am running in the shade and no squinting. I get my head, hair and hat totally wet before the run and whenever possible add water to to my hat and hair. If your head is evaporating heat, it is bloody cooling, Cool heads will prevail.🏖⛲

    Well done Freddy, was a warm 1 but at least the full sun kept hidden until near the end. The course was definitely up and down so a fab PB👏

    Congratulations ! I saw this on Strava and in the pre-view mode. It was part of my motivation for my first ever Half in in Ottawa today. The 2:10 pacer was amazing and I surprisingly had a colleague by my side until km18 as well. She took off then and I tried about 1-1.5 km later and got an official 2:07:08. Thanks for the challenge. I am too toast to watch today's 30 minute video...I

    At 10k/58 mins, you said: "THE PB IS ON". What a Buzz when you said that mate. Even more nailing it. You shouted for a 2: 10 and beat that YASSSSS

    Well done Freddy Runs! PB well and truly smashed. I made a cameo too, cheering you on at 7:13 😁. I found that course hilly and energy sapping, so I think you did phenomenal to smash your PB like that. Keep up the great videos and great running 👏 🙌
