I was in the Swansea 10k, I though would you be in there, well done on your PB, I was happy with mine too, finally got under 1hr and a PB. Great run would definitely do it again. Keep pushing
Got a pb of 44:09 myself in that race. Really enjoying the vids
Well done Matt, following you from New Zealand and love seeing you do so well. Very inspiring for a 50yr old Welshman living in NZ. Kia Kaha! ( Which means stay strong in the Maori language)
You always race better against people than the clock. A good field there around your standard and it paid off. The joy of getting stuck in shines through this video.
Genuine big up, well done on your sub 31. I only did it once (30.52) more than 30 years ago having sub 31.15 so many times, in-fact second best , 31.00 yes 31.0O. But being able to say '' i did once run sub 31'' to the youngest still gives me a buzz and you can now deservedly have that buzz. Ian
Congrats on your success! I ran a race recently, and it felt amazing. Nothing beats the feeling on raceday! You did a great job!!
That's freaking awesome. Well done Matt. Love it. GET IN
Yes Matt! Congrats on a brilliant run. Was great to see you racing so well at Bristol as well. Can't wait for that video. Two Pbs in a week is dreamland!
Well done Matt. Looking very strong and relaxed there and I would never want to be in a sprint finish with you as you were flying. Bodes well if want to get back to the longer distances again.
Well done Matt! It's just more proof that the best performances come when we are relaxed! Great stuff! Keep pushing!
What a journey you have chronicled in these videos. The ups and downs and then how it’s all come together in the last week. Thank you for taking us along with you. And huge congratulations
Well done Matt
WOWWWW!!!!! What a week!!!! WONDERFUL Matt, just WONDERFUL!! BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!! 🥂🎊🏃♂🏅💪🏻🎉
Well done 👏 ✔️ 👌 😀 So fast 👏 🙌
Huge, inspiring me to go sub 41 next Sunday.
That closing km 👌 well done Matt! Super finish to a tough summer! 😁
Get in Matt. Great to see you reaping the rewards from your hard work.
I spoke to you before the Bristol 10k and congratulated you on your recent 5k sub 15. I had no idea you had already backed this as well. This really is Epic Matt. Now I need to go and look what you did in Bristol... it wasn't the flattest course but I hope you had a good time. So nice to hear you mention that you enjoyed Swansea, not just the PB! That's important too. [Ed. Just looked up your Bristol time and position. I won't give spoilers but well done!]
U are strong now👍🏻💪 nice work ..
U have broke ur metaly barrier , now u can push in the race and finish on right way the race!
your sprint is unreal compared to your competitors. well done on the pb again, keep at it
Awesome running Matt, good to see all your training & hard work has paid off big time, amazing stuff, 🍀🌲✅👣🏃🏽♂️👍🏼😀
Wow Matt! Fantastic time and its awesome seeing your training come together. Well done!
Go get it mate.
Not a bad month Matt!
So your training works. An insanly good result and WHAT an improvement in such a short time. NOW GIVE US YOUR TRAINING PLAN!!!!
All my runs are on Strava 👍👊. There’s no magic sessions. Lots of time on feet and some faster work. After Cardiff 5K I increased the intensity even more by doing VO2max stuff more often. It was a risk but I wanted to peak and give myself a chance of breaking 15 in my final attempt. I did a hard session 2 days out from my penultimate attempt because I felt that if I ‘trained through’ that race it would give me a better chance of the PB in London. Would people be interested in a sit down Vlog discussing the training cycle in more detail? Could be very boring for some but I’ll make it if there’s demand.
@@TheWelshRunner YES PLEASE we would be interested!!!! How could that be boring??😂😂 AND if you could do a kind of interview each other kinda format with another youtuber, like Andy FOD Runner for example, or any one of them you know also currently succeeding with a PB or 2, that could be even more interesting!!! 🙋🏻♀
@@TheWelshRunner I would absolutely be interested in a more detailed video about your training cycle!
@@TheWelshRunner i would definitely be interested and would watch a sit down vlog discussing your training cycle in more detail. // RE: what you described above: there's definitely lots of benefits in increasing the VO2max workouts (in this marathon block I've been doing 2 a week) and in my experience doing that creates the biggest jumps in fitness. In order to try and make sure injury doesn't happen while doing that, I try to be really committed to a daily schedule of core, leg strengthening, and some weights
@@TheWelshRunner YES PLEASE! I want advice on strength work, v02 max training vs mileage and HOW TO TAPER AND PEAK!!!! Your race analysis and phycilogical games and ways of thinking about racing is explained better than anyone else.
Well done on the PB!! Incredible time.
So glad your hard work and dedication is paying off. Congratulations and great blog 🎉
Thanks for sharing the journey! Appreciated the stats and training blocks.
Well done Matt! 👏 And Jasper is such a cutie!
Cracking effort, 2 PB's in less than a week, very impressive! 🎉🎊🏅
Finally got the sub15! Congrats 🎊
That's bananas. Congratulations!
sub 31!! what a pb well done Matt!
What a great purple patch you’re going through. That’s how it goes - enjoy it while it lasts! Maybe try another distance soon like a 10 miler.
Smashed it mate! great work!
Fantastic result and well deserved!
On fire!🔥
Well done
Bossing it bossman nice one!
When you´re in shape, you´re in shape. Time to milk it
That's crazy...don't get injured mate.
Awesome Matt - now get a coffee mate 👍
Wooow Amazing pace what a time🔝👏🔥 well done👍 you going to do Cardiff Half this weekend too?
Loving the racing vids Matthew. What's your strength training looking like these days?
I wish I could answer that I’m doing S and C twice a week and some core on top. The truth is I haven’t done any for ages. I’d have to look back to see when the last time I did any was. I think the big amount of elevation (for a road guy) that I’m getting is making me strong but I do think S and C is an area that can help my performance in the long run. I will always prioritise the running though as my limiting factor is fitness.
@@TheWelshRunner Yes elevation must help. It's Something I probably could do with introducing to my training more frequently to help with form and injury prevention. I remember you saying in your Kenyan experience that a lot of the locals didn't do any strength training but did include a lot of hills.
Congrats on breaking 31 Matt! What was your previous 10k pb?
It's good to see you getting the results you deserve after a tricky year.
The shorter distances seem to suit you more?
Congrats Matt, i guess once you can make some money racing (even 90 pounds) you can consider youself an elite athlete!!!
Well done great time...how did your brother get on?
I bet your brother has amazing running genetics too if he pursued it 🙂
Wow amazing time! What age are you?
Got a 42 min 5 mile ,,,it’s decent I’m 55 yrs ,where do u think I could get to ,,,is 35 mins realistic ,with training
Great effort. sub 30 next?
😍🤩⛳🥇
Do you share your training,interested to see
It’s all on Strava. Going forward I’ll be making more training vlogs too. Some will show a session. Others will talk through my training. Hope that helps.
What is your name on strava.
I’m aiming for sub 15- 5k in Armagh next year- currently 15:32 and struggling with motivation, so need some g’ing up!
@@martinedwards3666 Matt Rees | @thewelshrunner but there’s also a link to my Strava in the description of this video 👍. Good luck with the training and hopefully see you in Armagh next year.
@@TheWelshRunner cheers!
See you there…let’s hope in good shape!
5:17 did a projectile really get launched at the timing car at this point? Da fuck...
I had thought so too, but slowed down it just looks like a big fly/bee near the camera that flies down the road!
Wow first comment!! 😍
Amazing pb btw! 😍
