Hey Andy! Great race vlog! The crowd support seemed awesome for this one! Loved all the excitement - it got me re-energized for my race in November as I slog through the summer heat! Keep pushing!
Well Andy you perfectly described the whole experience of the GnR. The greatest experience of my running life. I actually cried watching the vlog because you managed to capture the whole experience , a truly emotional experience.
Great video mate, I ran last year and it was amazing. Nearly had me in tears when I crossed the bridge and coming up to the finish was something I have never experienced before. Keep the content coming, I've subscribed. ✌
I ran it as a last minute charity entry for Independent Age, first having run the GNR 41 years ago, Hahaha, and the last time was 18 years ago. Half the size of runners then. These crowds 2022 were Awesome. Thank you all for getting me over the finish line. There to enjoy and 3.29hrs was just the ticket for wonderful experience. Thanks Andy for great vlog. I did that run!!! Tears now reliving it. And gonna do next year's GNR when I am 70 years old. 😁🏃👍
I'm a big fan of the GNR(it helps that for me it's just up the road). I love that the whole 13 miles of it has people on the road cheering you on and giving you all the support you need(not to mention sweets). And for me last weekend I got myself a new PB of 1.42, very pleased with that.
Really good video; thanks Andy. I ran it this time - my first - and your video captured the epicness and the emotion brilliantly - it made me cry. My knees were killing on the run but I couldn't agree more with what you said 'I don't know if it's possible to have a bad GNR' - it was AWESOME!
Great vlog as always Andy! Ran the GNR this year and came in with a PB! My 3rd time running the event, always a big one on the calendar. As you say, every runner needs to experience this race at least once! Enjoy Amsterdam, go smash it!💪🏼
I was there running on Sunday as well and this is such a brilliant representation of what it was like. I didn't quite have your insane levels of energy, but iI approached it just like you Andy; get in with the Oggy Oggy Oggy's, high five the kids, drink the beer. The event wasn't without its niggles but as a participator's experience it was up there and I will remember it for a long time! Every local I spoke to was lovely as well and I even got given £15 after in the pub by some locals for my charity!
Great vlog Andy. It was my 1st GNR & I came from the U.S & it was definitely worth the trip. Good luck in the Amsterdam Marathon; next up for me is the NYC Marathon in November. Great community support for the GNR runners.
Great memories watching this video - my sister and I were running that day. It was on a completely different scale from any event I’d done before, so some of it was a bit overwhelming - but with more experience since, I’m eager to try it again (didn’t get in this year, sadly).
