Cheap, knockoff type gadget, being sold for a high price. Tricks people who don't know better.

Only runners can lay on the ground breathing like a dying horse and giving fist pumps to each other, saying well done mate and it was so much fun🙂. Absolutely love that because I am exactly the same.

Them Alphaflys get some hammer 😊

U are legend sir 5km 🔥

I know the feeling of loosing power on the slightest inclines and then having a heart rate spike , so frustrating even though like yourself I train hills 🤷

Regular strength training would help with the hills 💪🏼

Iron levels maybe causing the issues on the hills x

Why does Andy eat tea in his car?

great effort ❤

I dont think there is any issue with your hill running. Absolutely speaking, the slow down on the hill is perfectly within the parameters what I would expect. The winner was taking it easy the first 2 km's, thats why he could go faster on the hill, but he then maintained the "faster" after that. So it was not because he is a better hill runner but purely because he was a faster runner.

Great production on the video Matt, the switch between cameras worked really well! Great sprint finish 💥

Local race? Is that if you swim over Matt? 😂

Impressive sprint finish! Solid.

How are you going to get better at hills Freddie?

Cracking finish.....

That was one hell of a surge off the top of the hill, fair play!! Great job out there, as always 👊 saved the best sprint till last as well!

There is a very good chance that the same thing that gives you that kick , also is what gets you in the hills . You naturally have a lot of muscle in your body , that stuff is dense is essentially a ruck sack on the climbs , but what a kick 🔥

Great running Matt, put the after burners on at the end! 😂

Top running mate! Thanks for the tag, great Vlog 👌🏻

Solid race. Always nice to be the one out kicking others to the line!

Congrats good job

Quality

Great vid! Easy to listen to and nice to hear about how others deal with the challenges of training. I wonder about these lactate monitors - seems like possibly your heart rate monitor might give you more reliable data. I love numbers but...

Lovely brovalry.

Great video Matt. Good banter between you guys. Love it when you two collaborate 👍

What was your speed? I use garmin, so it helps me to know your speed to picture where u are compared to my runs

When is the Chicago Marathon? 💪

Hi Matt. Great video and nice to see you and Andy "back together" again 😃. Its Chicago for me too this year 😮 . Hope your training goes smoothly.

How do you like your Coros pace 3? I’m torn on this or the Garmin forerunner 265.

Good to see you two doing the session you have set me in the past! The things you find in the back of cars :)

Great video. Nice seeing you and Kelly at the bag drop at Edinburgh btw. 👌🙌

Mayochup for the win

Us, who are at the 5:45 to 6h 42ks, just have nothing but praises for runners/elites like you. Your worst runs are even unreachable for us. Maybe 1/8 of your prowess is good enough for us.

Bro it’s funny how this is a sub 15 pace. Bro looks like he is running my 8:30 min/mile pace. Sub 15 would be sprinting for me. Crazy

Good recap of both marathons Matt, yeah triathlon is you, haha that will be fun to watch, I’ve never done a triathlon because my swimming is ridiculously ridiculous but like to give one a go, good luck with Chicago 🏃🏽‍♂️👊🏼✌️🌞👣🥳✅

Do you not think having rice pudding and coke for breakfast contributed to bloating and sickness? Made me feel sick just to watch it 🤣

In layman’s terms. You ingested too much and had to take a massive poo. Big deal.

Have you just said your running Chicago? Cannot wait for blosck build up! and cheers for all your work and vids you put up!

Chicago is perfect for PB attempt - Flat fast quality field! 🚀

Great honest breakdown of your race ❤ a focus on s+c is a huge huge benefit, something I personally have done, not at home but at the gym as it is more focused. I’m early 50’s so even more important to us oldies but the elites advocate gym work makes the difference, the great Mo F did a lot of gym work. Earlier in the year forgot my race gels like a twit, oddly got a PB and was awesome not faffing about, legs maybe felt more tired day after but made me realise something 🎉

Do you think the Coca-Cola on the morning of Manchester may have also contributed to the GI issues? Glad it went well for you in Newport

I'm curious about you saying you were in that nice pack talking to the other runners. Why didn't you run a bit faster then, just to the level that it still feels comfortable but just not that comfortable that you feel like talking? I think that is the ideal intensity for running the marathon. But I'm not so experienced as you are, so really interested in your view on this.

I think Lydiard said something like that about carb loading. If I'm right you dont eat a lot of carbs the days leading up and then load the day before. You get more benefit from it then. You can only store so much for so long anyway.

On Dan Nash's Strava, he theorises that his legs felt OK the day after the marathon due to taking on 90g+ of carbs per hour. Maybe he has a tougher gut than average!

Far too many runners today place too much emphasis on carb/gel loading and have ‘upset’ stomachs. Fact - in the 80s there were no gels (nor carbon shoes) yet many more Brits running sub 2.30 marathons each year than there is today. Keep it simple. Complication drives failure.

I think what you and other YTers have demonstrated is that for club runner standard a 2:20 marathon is a tough ask and sometimes it’s luck on the day. I’ve commented previously that I think many of you who log all their training on-line you over think it all. Running seemed so much simpler 30-40 years ago. Yes, we thought about training etc but turned up and ran ! I do think then depth of competition was better then. It’s funny to think back then there were no gels or super shoes yet we still ran decently- ummm !

Curious if you’ve done multi-day carb loading for marathons in the past? How was your fueling / carb-loading for Manchester / Newport compared to your PB marathon? You have me super nervous for my upcoming race now haha

Hi Matt, This is an excellent assessment and very refreshing to hear. I think you knew going into Manchester that you were undercooked, and sensibly adjusted your pace plan on the day. Also, glad to hear you address the obsession that some sub elite athletes have with carb loading on the day! Several gels, along with the drinks is going to upset the stomach and personally i think may only have a placebo effect. Good luck for Chicago!

Wow. What an awesome story. So cool you did Newport and have a better feeling chicago. Well done
