Absolutely superb and what a way to do it. Having been a listening volunteer for The Samaritans, I know how incredible and literally life changing their support is. A fabulous charity and a fantastic result for you. 116 123 for anyone out there. There's always someone to listen 💚
Thanks Dean! And thanks for the volunteering, I’m sure you’ve helped people far more than you! 👏👏👏
First off, what a beautiful trail to run on! Second, you can easily run 10 mins faster. Runners are their training. There is no magic. A golfer who hasn't played in a year can make a hole in one. All those days in a row you ran are in your legs. I know you love the challenge on the 24 hour race, I get it. And you are running only one per year. But I would argue, the half marathon is a wonderful distance race. Not too long and doesn't have the intensity of a all-out 5k. My favorite videos that you share are the ones where you are so happy AND surprised by a huge Breakthru or a new P.R. That is one of the many joys of running. Oh and one more thing.................GO FAMOUS FREDDY. Freddy says he's not famous, but he has fans from all over the world,
I’m going to say it…. I think I can go 20 minutes faster…

Well done, it's been great watching (and listening via the podcast) on your progress
Thank you Sofia! 😊
Amazing. The process really works. Got my Half Marathon PB couple weeks ago too. Almost blew a gasket trying though. 😅
Nice! I see you smashed a 2:25 Rob? Congratulations mate!! 💪👊👏
Great long run! Just another example that we don't know what we are really capable of when we put in the time and effort. Side note: more races = probably more content but don't burn yourself out on races/content. Pick 3-7 a year (or whatever suits u) and have fun...that's why we all keep tuning in. Thank you for the video.
I fell you 100% - I won’t run a race just for content, the day I do that, is the day I get injured!
Just discovered your channel. What an inspiration to us 'not so young anymore' guys n girls who just LOVE to run, who wont be breaking the club records, who work, have families, yet strive to be the best they can be, always better than last time! Thank you for your content. Running is for everyone, for every reason, for every goal. Always need to put things into perspective from time to time with my own running. Congratulations on the PB. It's an amazing time 👏
Thank you so much! Welcome aboard! 😊
Well, look at it this way, equivalent times, 5km 25min, 10 km 52 min, 21.1 km 1h55m. Makes one think doesn't it ......the sky is the limit. The weather prediction suggests it will be raining PB's quite regularly. Have fun.
Let’s hope so 😊
Congrats on the PB!! Your fitness is improving every month! And good luck getting into the marathon!
I personally love using races as training runs... i use 5ks as speed workouts, 10ks as tempo runs, and longer for my long runs. The atmosphere is so motivating, and there's food and company, when most of my training is solo. I ran just under 20 miles at a race last weekend as my long run, knowing it would be torture to try to do it on my same old trails, solo, carrying everything. I just have to remember to race it as a training race, and not go all out on a race I don't care about, possibly derailing my training or injuring myself.
Your big race will be coming up soon?
Well done sir it's all coming together. All your hard work is paying off.
Cheers Paul, slow but purposeful progress 💪👍
Well done mate :)
Cheers John!
Well done Freddy! Smashed it
Thank you mate! 😊
PB ..What an nice surprise! Well done 👍😃
Thanks Davey! A good sign for things to come 👍
Nice work mate cracking effort!
Thanks Jamie
Congrats. I've applied for London too but seems very unlikely especially with the record number of applications. More local races are probably the way forward.
100% Dave! Totally agree 👍
If you get into London, Manchester marathon refund you your money if you send them proof you got in by September. There’s a post on their website 😊
I heard this too, the odds are not great for London though 😊
