- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- If you’ve been following both our training series’ you’ll know the hard work that has gone into training for this day… Both of us have BIG goals, with Ryan attempting to run a SUB 2:50 and Haley hoping to complete her FIRST marathon in roughly 4 hours. With forecasts of high wind gales, and this being a largely coastal course, we were nervous to see how this would impact us.
Watch to see how we got on and experience the incredible atmosphere which made Brighton marathon a day to remember!!
Has this inspired you to run next year? Let us know in the comments and feel free to ask any questions!

Well done guys. Sorry not to see you. I missed Rich and Dale as well!
Thank you so much for watching, no worries ☺️🙌 it was a surprise bumping into them 🤩
Both of you did incredibly well! It was like you were running on your own for most of it 👀😆 Well done 🙌🏼
Thank you so much for watching 🔥☺️ it definitely was great but the last 10k was lonely 😅😂
Congratulations both of you . Awesomeness 👍🏻
Thank you so much for watching ☺️☺️
You both absolutely smashed it. Been amazing to follow your journey towards this marathon. Enjoy the recovery and doing nothing 👌
Thank you for watching and following along!! Not for long... Coventry half next 👀😂
Brilliant performances. You and others have sold this event to us for 2025 (plus it falls in the middle of our school holidays). Looked like great support out there on the course, if a little windy).
I am so glad we persuaded you to enter next years event, I noticed it’s the same day as London though 👀👀 you can enter now while it’s cheaper 🎉🎉 thank you so much for taking the time to watch it
Amazing to both of you!! Poor Haley that does look sore. Hope it's all healed up now. xx
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch ☺️☺️
Well done to both of you, great video, especially the stretch coming into the finish line.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video 🤩 it was such a great event and the atmosphere was incredible ☺️☺️
Well done to you both... Glad you both had a good run and enjoyed your day 😀👍
Brilliant finishing speed Ryan 😊👏👏
Thank you so much Jay 🎉🎉 hope you’ve been well, excited to see some of your races that you will get up to 🔥 it was a brilliant day ☺️
Awesome. I cannot decide what is more impressive - Haley with an incredible first marathon or Ryan with that stunning time… and in less than ideal weather and a challenging course! Gold medals for you both 🥇🥇Great job with the edit too, loved it 😍
Thank you so much for your support through this series and for enjoying the video, it’s an absolute honour to receive the gold medals 😍😍
Well done both of you. Some serious effort there . Not sure that onion rings go with fish and chips though 😂
Haha thank you so much for watching 🎉 I haven’t had onion rings for a long time and just craved them 😂😂
That finish was emotional! 🤗😥😁 Amazing performances from both of you. Haley's foot must have been a bit sore after that 😮
Well done guys.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch 😊🎉 we are so glad you enjoyed it and we are over the moon with our times, Haleys foot is now on the mend 🎉😂
Congratulations both on your fantastic runs at Brighton. Well done on completing your first marathon Haley. I hope your feet are heeling ok. Ryan, I think you can well and truly say you broke that 2:50 goal! That sprint finish (that seemed to go on for at least another mile 😁) was phenomenal. Brilliant video and well done again 😊
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video, we really appreciate the support ☺️☺️ we are still in awe of both of our times and it was such an incredible event 🎉🎉
Well done guys! Great meeting you and thanks for the shout out. Ryan that is so ridiculously quick. Haley amazing job and hope your feet have recovered!
Thank you so much for watching 🙌☺️ it was great meeting you at the end, no problems at all ☺️🔥☺️
Awesome work guys! great video as always
Thank you so much for watching 👊🙌 we are so glad you liked the video 🎉🎉
Just wow! My second watch through of this. You both absolutely smashed it and should be super proud. That is such a huge achievement in those conditions Ryan, all that hard work in training paid off and it is thoroughly deserved. Absolutely no right to be pulling out 2:45 sprints at the end 🤯And Haley a massive congrats on completing your first marathon in super tough conditions, really amazing work and I hope the blisters recover quickly - ouch! Support looked amazing on the course too. Really great work and great vid guys! 😊
Thank you so so much for your kind words and for watching the video 🙌☺️ it was such an amazing event to be part of and we can’t wait to persuade you to do a marathon next year so get ready for some marathon block sessions together 🤩😂👀
Well done both of you! Brighton was my first marathon 🥰 As someone who is getting ready to run Boston tomorrow, I highly recommend that you do this one Ryan! Best marathon in the world!
Thank you so much for watching and all the best of luck for tomorrow 🍀☺️ we hope you have the best time, we definitely need to look into which one we should do 👀😅 there are so many options
Great running both! Bloodstained shoes? That’s grit.
Thank you! Couldn't not power on after all that training 💪🏻 Luckily it was only painful for a few km's and then it went away, glad I didn't spot the blood until after 😅 Hopefully some sort of special tape will sort it!
@@raleyadventures you’ve made my mind up for me. No Pro 3s at a marathon for me. Big fat clumpy superblasts it is!!
Tbh I think it's more because of my oddly shaped feet getting angry with a seam 😂 other than the battle scar they were great 😅
Incredible work, both!
Thank you so much for watching ☺️🔥🎉
Excellent! Well done both of you!!
Thank you so much and thank you for watching ☺️☺️
Well done both! Goosebumps at the end, such a great crowd atmosphere. Ahhmaazing time Ryan, and congrats to Haley for her first Marathon. Hopefully you'll want to enter another one one day! 😆
Thank you so much, it was such a buzz ☺️ it was great getting that as Haleys birthday present 😂 we can’t wait to see where we will end up next 👀👀
Amazing achievement - super video, well ran the pair of you!!
Thank you so much and thank you for watching 👊🔥🔥
Congratulations, Ryan and Haley! You both put so much effort into your planning and training and the outcomes are well deserved. Truly inspirational. Ryan - thanks for the POV clips. Haley - hope your foot is ok. "We're both alive" lol.
The key things to point out that you survived right 😂😂 thank you so much for watching we a had great running it and editing it for everyone ☺️🎉
Well done on the huge effort. Thanks for the video.👍
No problem ☺️👊 we are so glad you enjoyed our content 🔥🎉
Massive well done to you both , really good time well ran and an excellent vlog
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and we are so glad you enjoyed it ☺️🙌
Fantastic video, felt like I was there. What incredible support, especially along the finish straight that seemed to go on forever, bet your glad you had your name on your shirt. Incredible run Ryan. So pleased Haley that you enjoyed your birthday present 🤣🥰 you did yourself proud, hope your foot is feeling better now. Park and ride looked like a great idea and the fish and chips looked great 😋
Thank you so much for watching, it was great showing you what you missed out on 😊🎉
Well done both of you !! Fantastic times. Did have a sneaky look at results to see how you'd both got on 😅
Thank you so much for watching ☺️☺️ we really appreciate the support, it was definitely a great experience 😍
Well done guys! So proud of you. Haley didn't look too bad and yes just about everyone in their first full marathon goes out way too fast. It takes a bit of practice to trust your training and dial in that marathon race pace. And yeah I think you lucked out with the weather and the wind. Glad you had a good day but it did look pretty warm. Cool shirt and medal too.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching ☺️ we really appreciate the time you spend watching 👊 I may have given Haley the marathon bug 👀😅😅😂
Fantastic running and vlogging! Loved watching this. You captured the atmosphere perfectly and who knew that it's so quiet at the front of the race! Please do Loch Ness in October. It's one of my favourite UK marathons and it'll be yours too 🐉🏴
Oh wow we will have to have a look into this 👀 thank you so much for taking the time to watch
So pleased for you both, it was exciting, tracking you both on the day too. Great work on the video and superb weather too. I feel for Haley, foot looked very battle scarred😩Next marathon? Manchester obviously, it’s the best✅
Thank you so much for supporting the channel and watching the video, it really was amazing 🤩 Haleys foot is slowly recovering but the main thing is we can both walk down stairs again 😂 I was definitely eying up Manchester 👀👀
@@raleyadventures You’ll hear about it soon enough from Helen (and myself😊)
I can’t wait, I went down to watch the start and finish of it last year and it looked tough but quick 🔥🔥🔥
That was most excellent 👌🏼 Well done both of you!! Hope Haleys foot is nicely healed. Have you decided where to do the next one?
Thank you so much for watching ☺️☺️ we really appreciate the kind words, we still aren’t sure on the next big voyage 👀😅😅
@@raleyadventures Gaz is running his first marathon in York in October! Bit nervous to be honest, again well done both
@@thethompsonsgotagopro.woah that will be such an awesome day 🎉🎉 we really hope he likes it, it will be tough but it’s so rewarding overall ☺️☺️
I've been looking forward to this video!! Knowing you two were doing a marathon on the exact same day as me got me through it 😆
I can relate to the breakfast in the hotel room scenario haha, I made overnight oats without a fridge 😂
Great work!! 🏃🏽♀️🔥🔥
Thank you so much and we can’t wait to see how our days compared. We normally have soya milk so it does help when no fridges are around haha, hopefully you aren’t feeling too achy today 😅
@@raleyadventures I'm ok today, doms kicked in early for me and I'm feeling almost good to go again today. What about you? You both did so well!!
@RunningToMyPast im oddly feeling better than after my last marathon, I reckon I could start running again but I want to take it slow as I don’t want to ping anything 😅😂
@@raleyadventures probably wise not to! I think I could do an easy jog today but won't do it just yet 😬
@@RunningToMyPast I’m going to go for the walk with a few faster paced steps in now and again until the weekend 😂 what’s the eta of your video 🎉
Well done to you both, training went well, had a sneak on strava to see the results.
Fast becoming the best running couple on YT, much better than the tragic rachel and rory show! 😉
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video, we are both over the moon with the result 🎉😊
Well done to you both, great performances :) I did the Brighton Marathon as well this year and I saw you a couple of times on the course Ryan when you were going the other way to me on the switchbacks (I was in the Northbrook vest). I think I tend to do the same races as you both so will try and say hello if I see you in future. I have been enjoying the channel for a while :)
Tom H
Thank you so much for your ongoing support 🙌☺️ Brighton was incredible wasn’t it, I was trying to look out for the local running vests, will you be doing Coventry half at all as we will be there 👀☺️
I think I missed your reply sorry! Yes Brighton was a great experience :) yep I will be at the Cov Half all being well!
Letssss gooooo
😍😍😍
well done both of yous !!!! hope you are recovered. what is the next adventure? 🏃♂️🏃♀️😎
Thank you so much for watching, we are reducing the mileage on the next race so we will be going on an adventure close to home and running the Coventry half marathon 2 weeks on Sunday ☺️🙌 do you have any races coming up?
@@raleyadventures yes,i have Barbury sunset 10k next month,i am not a fast runner but give it my best shot. this will be my first trail run. training has been inconsistant due to life stuff but looking forward to it. good luck for coventry !
@@mijzzzzthat sounds a lovely race, we wish you all the best for it and thank you so much 🎉🎉☺️
Depends how soon you want to do another one Ryan, but York is good fun (or have you done this already?)
Thank you for the suggestion, I haven’t done York yet, I’m noticing there are a lot of choices haha so I’ll have to pick wisely, I’ve so far completed Milton Keynes, Brighton and London ☺️ do you have any running plans
Great run, guys. Ryan, did you say you had 10 gels??? With the good for age time, you should do Boston Marathon, mate. Or both go for a nice weekend away and do Valencia Marathon. Keep up the good work and smash the rest of the year
Thank you so much for watching, I set off with 6 (that includes one 10mins before) I would then have one every 30 mins but I just take any extra gel that gets handed to me as why not 😂😂, yeah we definitely need to look into a big marathon holiday 🎉
@@raleyadventures How is Hayleys toe or blister? Stick with Adidas or try a different shoe in the future?
It’s getting better it’s just part of the shoe in the toe box has been rubbing the top of the foot above the big toe, it is an odd one but we can work it out, next half in 3 weeks 😂🙌
3:16 that’s @PewDiePie !!
It does look like him a bit doesn’t it 😂
@@raleyadventures I think he lives in Brighton so might actually be him
How do you apply for next year’s one

@@raleyadventures are you guaranteed a spot if you pay the early bid spot ?
Yes this one is a straightforward entry rather than a ballot 🗳 Early bird should just give you a nice discount compared to standard entry, though bear in mind they don't allow refunds (or didn't in 2024 at least)! We got our places in August last year, so although it will likely sell out there's no huge rush
