Emotional. I always ask one thing. Would I be proud if our son behaved in the same manner that his Dad does for you are the one he looks up to. The answer is always one million percent yes. Your attitude, love, passion and raw openness is unrivalled, and you are the best role model. You inspire many, many people by being you and we are all proud of you always ❤ 🦁

@TheFODRunner Год назад

Bloody brilliant mate!! They dont always go our way but 2:29 on an "off day" is insane... time to smash the summer!!! Lets Go!!!

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Cheers for the support as always mate. 👊

@samknowland1120 Год назад

if i could run 1k as fast as he runs 42, id be over the moon!!

@kofuzi Год назад

honest effort. be proud. we're proud of you.

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks Kofuzi. Your Boston vlog was unreal. So good. Congratulations again and thanks for all of the amazing content you make that inspires us all.

@rosiewaugh1234 Год назад

You and Kelly are killing me with these marathon vlogs 😭 I don't think anyone appreciates how hard a marathon is until they've done it, think you just do a bit of training and run but the mental determination it takes is unreal and the support from familt and friends and even strangers on the course means so much! That 2:22 will be yours 💪

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks Rosie. The support on the course means everything. I’m proud of my mental resolve and look forward to being in better shape next time and pacing it a bit better. Thanks for your support and glad you enjoyed the video.

@Stevenc1984 Год назад

When things don't go to plan, you have issues that early on and you still get sub 2:30 🤯 incredible running Matt!

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks. Yeah I think it shows how far I’ve progressed that I can completely blow up and still run 2:29 but definitely want to get the next one right.

@CliveWalker Год назад

Man, you trained very hard and ran your fastest at London so I think you should be very proud of that. I certainly found it inspirational!

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Cheers Clive. Appreciate that. 👊

@juliemckie72 Год назад

Incredible running Matt, sorry you didn’t hit your A goal but still a run 99.99% of us could only ever aspire to!! I ran too, what a day 🎉

@dokutaaguriin Год назад

WOW! just WOW!

@Tonyr2 Год назад

2-29 is a great time Matt. Didn't realise what you'd gone through when i stopped you by the baggage reclaim lorrys. Can I say thanks for doing that selfie even though you were disappointed with your run. Shows the mark of a man when he makes time to do something like this 👏👏👏.

@Iron_DD Год назад

You're an inspiration Matt... absolute class act 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@jawee6144 Год назад

I have to compose myself watching you compose yourself 😂🥰

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

🤣

@mael5026 Год назад

You are so incredibly strong. Mentally AND physically. No words.

@eddiegaul1903 Год назад

Some days are like that Matt. I love your perseverance and you got an amazing time. Your dedication to the sport is amazing and I love following you and Kelly's journey. Keep up the great work.

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks Eddie for the really kind words. Really appreciate all of the support.

@danielstevens8827 Год назад

Great video Matt. Not the time you wanted but to still run an unbelievable 2:29 after not feeling it from 25k is incredible. Inspirational stuff. 👍🏼

@petergibbs6993 Год назад

Matt Rees - Wow, what a vlog - Thank you. I ran it too, my second London and the crowds were unbelievable but my race didn’t go to plan either and I am SO SO with the feelings of this vlog - in all honesty I have just blubbed like a baby - BUT Matt I am going again - that’s it - I WILL achieve my goal and so I strongly believe you will too. Thanks for these vlogs I am not sure you understand how much they mean to me (us) 👍

@jonathanwatkins447 Год назад

Way to finish strong Matt. Was freaking awesome watching you fight all race. Looksl like you were hurting early so a big fucking congratulations. Like you said marathons are hard. You've had some great ones lately but this one shows how bad you want it. Looking forward to seeing you smash another one in the future

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks mate. It fires me up for next time.

@trun3149 Год назад

Your best ever video Matt. You let nobody down. Massive well done and great guts shown here. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us.

@daniellephillips6184 Год назад

You did amazing Matt, fantastic time. You and Kelly are such a lovely couple, so supportive of each other x

Well done Matt🎉

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks Phillip.

@anyasmith3406 Год назад

Wow that was emotional towards the end! I know it wasn’t the day you had planned but it was so motivational to see you pushing through when things got tough so that is defo something to be proud of💪🏼

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

I’m definitely proud of myself and happy to move on and get it next time. 👊

@mikekarpaty3871 Год назад

Bought a tear to my eye 😢. Such an honest performance, thanks for sharing. You must still be happy with a sub 2.5hr time, beat mine by 3hrs but as I tell new runners 26 miles is 26 miles. Well done Matt, you are awesome 👏👏

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

100%. We all go through the same things no matter what pace you run. I’m happy with my mental strength to stay out there and keep pushing even in a lot of discomfort.

@insularuk9266 Год назад

I reallly love this recap!! Well done!!

@brionia9760 Год назад

So emotional, well toughed out for a course best. I was running my first marathon in 8 years and even though I took double your time I agree the crowd support was the best ever 🥳, seeing a loved one on the course is ❤️, and .. SORE QUADS 😵‍💫. Rest and recover well, you will be back faster than ever. 💕

@suzannesheppard7846 Год назад

Amazing! I found watching this very emotional 😢 be proud 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 love your Instagram & Channel 🙌🏻

@hels2305 Год назад

Amazing effort and what an emotional vlog!!! You and Kelly inspire so many of us with your videos. Goosebumps. I said never again after LM 23 but this has got me in all the feels!!!

@iancollinge1614 Год назад

You cannot say you let anyone down ffs, you as well a anyone knows how hard marathons are. You should be so proud of pushing through, I'm sure your family are 👍 that is one of the best running videos I've ever seen... so emotional and raw, absolutely brilliant

@MarcusJohnsen-r9e Год назад

Amazing performance sir Matt!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Brilliant vlog Matt and Kelly your both brilliant.

@jamiecunningham6798 Год назад

Congratulations Matt 🥳 Enjoyed the series looking forward to the next one 👍

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks Jamie. Great to hear you enjoyed. Thanks.

@herecomesbod Год назад

I hope Kelly has given you a proper telling off for thinking that you could ever let her down! We train for months and expect to peak on one particular day, but it doesn't always work like that. Congrats on the course PB 👋

@seanmcfarlane5394 Год назад

I ran it too on Sunday, I agree that the crowds were immense. Totally deafening at points. I was lucky enough to get GFA and feel so fortunate to be able to do it again. My family watched me for the first time and when I saw them we all go emotional and it really gave me so much more energy. Well done Matt.

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Congratulations Sean. Sounds like you had a great day and well done on the GFA. The crowds were the best I’ve experienced. Hope recovery is going well and thanks for following along.

@ukmattj Год назад

I’m crying on the train to work - cheers bro. Lots to take from this one, huge congrats on the new London PB. You inspired me to book Valencia as my first marathon - hopefully see you there in December. All the best Matt.

@51mpson Год назад

superb matthew! you are the epitome of grit and determination, so inspiring.

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks Stuart. I appreciate the support and glad you enjoyed.

@Dinup Год назад

Amazing vlog, thank you

@johnward4299 Год назад

Well done Matt on your run. Your vlog certainly underlined how tough a marathon can be when things don't go your way.

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks John. Yeah they can turn into a massive slog but it becomes a test of mental resolve as well as the physical challenge.

@jamiefarmer85 Год назад

Huge congrats Matt!!

@danielday4725 Год назад

What an incredibly inspirational vlog Matt. Thank you. I never made it to my marathon this year because of injury 4 weeks out but watching friends and the likes of yourself taking on Manchester, Boston and London has lit a fire in my belly greater than I ever thought for the marathon. Can wait to see you take on that unfinished business 💪🏻 stay strong 👍🏻

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks Daniel. Sorry injury prevented you lining up. I hope you are recovering well and it’s great to hear you are fired up for the next one.

@nataliehombrado1865 Год назад

Oh Matt 🥹. Congratulations! That was some finish in the end. Well done for finding that in you and finishing in under 2.30. You should be hugely proud. Great video.

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks Natalie. I really appreciate the amazing support.

@sarahswims Год назад

Stunning vlog, stunning running, absolutely love following your journey. Thank you and well done!! 🏅

@thristytothrive Год назад

This vlog has me super emotional. No matter the outcome, this marathon was a special one because of all the incredible support you had and your determination. Thank you for capturing and sharing your story. I'm training for my first marathon (ever!) and this was truly inspirational.

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks for the kind comment. Really glad you enjoyed the vlog. I’m proud of the determination, and the support I had was incredible and truly memorable. Good luck with your marathon training and I hope you have a great first marathon.

@dsmith8384 Год назад

I've watched so many marathon vlogs in the last week and this was my favourite. Love your approach to running, love your relationship with Kel, a really emotional video that captures the running community.

@Ammerstol Год назад

You suffered but you fought and got through it, well done!! Super coverage of your race, emotions, support....it had everything. The beer, medal and pizza did look good :)

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks. Marathons can be brutal but they are also beautiful in their own way. The beer and medal were great. The pizza was only okay 🤣.

@billflu Год назад

Great story telling! Didn’t expect things to get that emotional. After PR’ing in Boston last year, I came up short this year. The marathon is a tough beast and progress isn’t always linear. We’ll still get back out there to test our limits 👊

@martingeden1972 Год назад

Brilliant and best LM 2023 vlog seen so far , congrats on effort and to you both on sharing the day with everyone 👏👏👏

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.

@ifinlayson4760 Год назад

This is absolutely one of the best recap videos for London Marathon. Well done Matt for seeing it through and coming home strong. Truely inspirational. Fantastic advice at the beginning.

@stevehogg2103 Год назад

@misterbelll Год назад

Well done mate... thanks for a great video 👍👍👍👍🎉❤

@justalilbester Год назад

Credit to you for grinding through mate! I know just how tough it can be once you’re depleted! You hung in well and for that you’ve come out stronger!! Onwards and upwards mate 👊🏻 cracking vlog and thanks for sharing!

@martindattus7064 Год назад

Congratulations!!!!Well done!! Don’t be afraid to fail! I’m sure your next race will be better, keep going!!

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks Martin. We all fail. It’s the not trying that really scares me.

@andyevans6136 Год назад

Brilliant video, well done, great time on an off day!

@jackpenfold7067 Год назад

Fantastic video Matt, I met you at the end and what an inspiration you are to many (myself being one of those!), Sunday may have not been your day but you've helped hundreds and thousand to their day. Be proud 💚

@nateo745 Год назад

Mate you did amazing. Running at the level. Respect

@willb-j7335 Год назад

Thanks Matt- really enjoyed the whole build up and runs with Andy (FoD runner) - you seemed in great shape- 2.29 is a great time too! Well done and thank you for sharing so much💪👍

Wonderful London marathon video

@saranghaeclinic4904 Год назад

Emotional. Emotional. I'm so touched. Great race. Great support. Great story.

@clarehazell2097 Год назад

I ran also, and that brought back the exact same memories and feelings (stitches and oh my quads!!). What a lovely film and yes it made me cry! Well done.

@acarpio3 11 месяцев назад

One of the best marathon recap videos! You're inspiring and you do have the BEST support. Greetings from Texas.

@mikehobbs624 Год назад

Absolutely loved that Matt! It really captured all the emotions that come with marathon day. And London? Didn't it deliver! On a wet and chilly day the support was incredible! What a privilege to be able to experience it! You ran a phenomenal time, it might not be what you were hoping, but take pride in how hard you worked when the going got tough. You will have 2.22 another day. I was out there too, after a 4 year layoff, for my 8th London in 3.14.30. The last 4 miles were torture, but I still absolutely loved it and don't mind admitting I shed a few tears at the end. Thank you and Kelly for sharing your journey with us. 👍

@garethmartin9058 Год назад

You have done fantastic Matt love watching your and Kelly blog and you and Kelly inspiration

@wifi2166 Год назад

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Congratulations. Great to hear you loved it. Well done and I hope you’re recovering well.

@TheFenwaylaw 10 месяцев назад

I bawled my eyes out during your video. I am old and slow (I run a half in 2:30) but this year I will run London for the first time. It will be my tenth marathon and my fourth Abbot Major and I could relate to every emotion you and your supporters expressed. Thank you for sharing and thank you for the inspiration. Well done, sir.

@colinwishart6088 Год назад

Really enjoyed watching Kelly & yourself video…not a lump in my throat…honest. Incredible time Matt. We push & strive to be the best we can be. So many positives!! Look forward to seeing you go again.

Massive well done for sticking in it, I have watched all your videos on this block and you should be super bloody proud of your amazing achievements. You and Kelly always make me emotional with your race video's. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Always remember, NEVER FORGET YOUR WELSH!!!

@heeby123 Год назад

The most beautiful video. The support in the running community is beyond parallel. There’s no tribal rivalries, just well wishing, respect and love. It’s so pure. I have my first marathon four weeks tomorrow. I know I’ll face some demons later on in the race. If I can have a small part of your grit and determination on the day I know I’ll get through. Well done Matt and Kelly. ❤

@jumbomills1272 Год назад

Be proud!, still a time many will never get near. Your commitment to training means it will payoff in the end. When I used to run a good few runners at the club used to race almost weekly (especially during xc season). Some weeks they would have absolute stinkers, yet others they would run out of their skins. Either way they were happy to do what they enjoyed doing. 👍

@niallbennis06 Год назад

Matt you are a warrior. That was such a brilliant run. You went all in. Never gave up. Very commendable 🎉
