Going Beyond /// Great North Run 2023 Training ● Episode 1 

Laura, “shut up,” Andy, “sorry” 🤣😂 look forward to following the series!

Thanks for sharing - nice to start following a positive and upbeat running story which seems to be comparable and in parallel to my own. Looking forward to future content!

Brilliant! Well done! Great episode. Good luck with the rest of your training.

Brilliant, Laura! Really really well done… you’re a natural. Just do your best with the runs, be yourself on the vids, you will be great!

Amazing first video, well done Laura! I totally get the run anxiety of not knowing what's round the corner, so hard to overcome but when your confidence builds the corner turns become exciting! Can't wait to see you progress 🎉

You can see the “runners high” in her face which is great! Part of the joy of running :)

Sorry I’m late to the party, I’m just catching up with the latest videos but it’s great to see your training so far Laura, let alone the progress you’ve made so early on too, well done! I know this is something Andy kindly signed you up for but to see you embracing the challenge and committing wholeheartedly to it is fantastic! Andy is right, comparison is a thief of joy, you do you! Run your own race and run the kilometre you’re in, but you’re already proving if you put your mind to it, anything is possible! Andy, you’d better watch out, if Laura keeps this sort of training up, she’ll be giving you a run for your money soon enough!

Great to see the commitment from Laura to get this training plan done! Starting it when we sort of had a summer won't have been easy either . Going to be fab to follow the journey all the way to the GNR! Good luck Laura. Enjoy the ride 👍

Absolutely amazing laurea, you are doing so well. Keep it going. The good runs and bad runs are all part of the process. 😊

Yesssssss Laur! So so proud of you 🤩 getting massive training envy watching this ❤

Fab work Laura! That consistency is definitely paying off. Doing great! 👏💪

Cool race. We don’t have that kind of scenery in the US. Enjoyed watching Laura’s journey. Keep it up!

Well done Laura, you are a great storyteller! Looking forward to this series. Good luck!

Great video guys! well done Laura & Andy.

Great video and looking forward to the rest of the journey! I'm at the Great North Run too and it's amazing.

Really nice video! Can already see the race day video is going to be a tear jerker! 👏

Amazing content! I’m also doing a 16 week training plan so can relate to a lot of the emotions in this! Can’t wait for my first half marathon next month! Best of luck🎉

Keep smashing it Laura. You'll look back on these first 4 weeks in disbelief by the end. Great video guys.

Really great video both with some really funny unintentional moments, keep up the great work Laura👍

You've got this, Laura!

Let's freaking go Laura! Pumped for this series. You got this!

Well done looking forward to following your progress..I'm doing the Manchester half in October my first proper race half!

Done Brighton half a few times but this will be my first GNR. Can't wait for it!!!!

Loved this video! Laura is doing super well, and I’ll be honest, I don’t really understand strides either!

Great video, really well done and keep going!

Well done Laura and Andy. Nice episode. Great voiceover. Good work.

Fantastic going Laura. Seeing you overcome so much and showing courage to put yourself out there. You'll deserve and earn that medal on the day. Awesome coaching Andy, really looking forward to future videos. Hope to see you at the GNR on the day 😃

Quality video Andy, look forward to seeing Laura's full journey to half marathon finisher. Seriously, well done Laura you are smashing it.

Excellent 🌟⭐️

Great work, Laura! And Daisy too! I’d love to get Daisy’s take on your training. 🤣

Good luck and see you on the start line

Well done Laura your doing great. Your doing yourself proud and everyone one involved and watching your progress. You got this 👊 love Buster Julie & Stan 🐕

This was fantastic! Just watched it with Jaz on the big TV. Many parts that resonated with us, including the “Shut up!” comment haha…

Laura requested to follow you on Strava, to watch your progress 👍

👌

So impressed, given that you couldn't have trained in less favourable conditions with one of our hottest ever summers. You'll reap the rewards!

Nice challenge Laura ☺️☺️Have fun with the training sessions and with Andy as a Coach it will be all right 🫡🫡🫡 Gr 🫡
