Saw you at the start ....nah can't be Matt , he's doing Valencia. Hope you enjoyed the run around Dublin, I think it's a cracking race with a fair course...but I'm biased.

@karldonnelly8089 Год назад

You came by us at ten miles and I was telling the others who you were and forgot to give you a shout out! Great coverage and great to see you enjoyed it so much. And coming back is a must now that you know the course!

@TheFODRunner Год назад

Well done mate! Loved the detail you went into before about strategy and fueling etc, good to see you have such a blast out there!

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks mate. It’s a great race. Would suit you because you’re an animal on the hills.

@teetertotter5787 Год назад

I am laughing so hard at how the camera makes the people around you look like video game characters. Nice training run!!!! Go Valencia!!!!

@Irishirich Год назад

Delighted that you enjoyed the race. It was a great day out. It was my first Dublin marathon and had a wonderful time.

@cbrattonart Год назад

I recently did the same. Six weeks out from CIM I ran my local marathon. Great experience I got 2nd which is very motivating. I cut back the next week pretty hard but I can tell m getting fit. Good luck in all your races.

@anthonypower7048 Год назад

Congrats was my 6th Dublin on Sunday 3 weeks after Chicago and Dublin wins the atmosphere stakes hands down, obviously the atmosphere builds as the day moves on. Love the phoenix Park the second time, so quiet for that mile or so.

@runtraveller9787 Год назад

Amazing race Matt! It was really a secret race 😂. I wasn’t expecting to see you crossing that finish line on my video. Best of luck in Valencia 👊🏾 Gustavo

@christinaclementson Год назад

I think keeping it quiet took the pressure off and you were able to execute the plan perfectly. Absolutely brilliant Matt. Excited to see what you can do in Valencia.

@debbiehuston4769 Год назад

Totally inspirational! Well done Matt 👏👏

@tekipaf Год назад

Great video and music! Oh and well done on a pretty good time for a training run!

@davidsweeney4356 Год назад

Well done matt met you just before the start and made the video, Couldn't believe it was you as a previous poster said we dont normally meet our running youtubers. Smashing run on Sunday and best of luck in valencia.

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Great to meet you very briefly. How did your run go? Loved the race.

Fantastic training run!! Managed to get round it myself. Weather played ball and the support was fantastic. Good luck for Valencia.

@noelliesla01 Год назад

Fantastic. Well done again. You nailed the course. Yes it was tough and hilly. But you nailed it. Learing so much from you and your podcasts. Thanks so much. Do come back again and bring Kelly so she can experience the great Dublin atmosphere 🙌

@JavierISampedroTNF Год назад

Great job Matt. A very big confidence boost for Valencia. Go, go!

@kierlak Год назад

🤞 for Valencia. You're gonna smash it mate 💪💪

@eddiegaul1903 Год назад

This was really impressive Matt. I love your channel as well as your wife's. You did a FANTASTIC job recording the atmosphere and lead up to the race. I know I've run marathons 3 weeks apart and I'll be honest, the 2nd one did NOT go as planned. I am definitely not an elite runner but it was a slog. I like how you identified the risks of running a full marathon near your goal race and I know the feeling of wanting to race / test yourself very well. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing what you can do in Valencia.

@Ligerpride Год назад

Great vlog of the course. I did it myself and am lucky enough to do a lot of my training runs in the park. It was quite tough out there I thought. Well done on your run.

@JohnBirtchetSharpe Год назад

Loved this vlog , totally different spectrum when it comes to the performance, but the love of the run and being able to have fun with an event is universal!

@SC-rn1uc Год назад

What a time mate. Especially with the camera too. Very tough course it is with the hills. Glad you enjoyed the run and your stay in Dublin tho, come back next year!

@leeeastoeable Год назад

thats one of the best POV running videos i've ever seen!

@71heff Год назад

Well done Matt, you make it look so easy. My DCM didn't quite go as well as yours.... If you slowed down an hour or so to 3:30 you'd have seen 10x more supporters but I suppose that's not really an option for you!! 🤣🤣 Best of luck for Valencia

@kentalbertson2565 Год назад

Thanks for sharing Matt. I will be in Valencia to watch my son, so I will definitely follow you as well.

Thanks. I really enjoyed it. I love marathons and the Irish support was outstanding.

@mikehobbs624 Год назад

Great video Matt! That's some training run, you weren't far off your pb. Looking really strong, it bodes well for Valencia. Hope you recover well 👍

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks Mike. I felt really good and am excited for the rest of the block and Valencia. Thanks for your support 👊

Excellent man! A great confidence boost for Valencia. You didn’t mention water? Do you not have any at all? Great video as always. Good luck with the rest of the training.

@francismckenna7338 Год назад

Great video Matt and a great race you did. So many people said it was a fab day Music by Hans Zimmer was beautiful too.

@earlybhoy1119 Год назад

Totally ran Dublin the right way Matt, it's definitely a negative split course.

@ImamotoTieme Год назад

Amazing 👏 🙀 Sunday was my first marathon and as expected I hit the wall on km 19 but thank God I managed to finish it in 3h44m. 😊 I have to practice the fuel before the race.. I just took a gel just before the kick off as I am not used to eat in the mornings.. but I will introduce it maybe like u did, wake up earlier to have plenty of time for digestion . And congratulations Matt.. Great video and race

@TheWu Год назад

Very interesting vlog!

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed.

@michaelgriffiths305 Год назад

Matt, always love your "All In" mentality. Based on watching some recent videos, I had Felton down for fastest you tuber by the close of 2022. Who knows!? Maybe Nick Bester holds out.... that said if you can keep it all together a big PR is on the cards come December for you. Like your alternative approach! With the wave of prominent running youtubers getting sponsored by Soar and showing their Marathon builds to upcoming targets your guys begining to create mini a mini sub narratives to anyone interested in Marathons. Keep up your great running Matt - stay cool. Looking forwards to seeing you standing on the start in Spain ready to roll!

@SeanAltamurasalt Год назад

Hello Matt When you run a long distance finishing strong it will always boost you. I have ran over 50 marathons, including a few 50+km... when I was younger I got some PBests on the 10k, the week after... now injuries have slowed me down, but I don't think I'll ever stop... Sean from Naples, Italy Ps. Also a youtuber.

@ngpuleio Год назад

@IRunDaily Год назад

I ran Essex marathon a few weeks back, and have another 'A' race marathon in a few weeks. I didn't hit my goal in Essex, but new it was a 'free' race. If I nailed it, great. If I didn't, it would serve as a good training run. Just need to nail the next one now 😬

@kophotography895 Год назад

Well Done....Rest Up Properly 2-3 days easy

@SeeChadRun Год назад

Most users don't think about this, but all those shots where you were just walking by the camera, walking out of the hotel, etc... You had to set up the camera, hit record, walk over to your shot, walk by the camera, walk back and pickup the camera and stop the recording. Then of course, edit all of this together too. Anyways, great job! Both on the video and the race!!! Setting the bar high for the rest of us RunTubers ;-)

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks. Yeah it’s more effort than I normally make 🤣 but I had the time so did some extra shots. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks 👊

@PoetWithPace Год назад

Nicely put together Matt. Will you be having sushi before the main race in Spain? How are the legs feeling now?

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks. I will be having rice. I am not sure where I am eating yet but it will be rice as boring as it comes. Legs feel great. I have done a couple of light sessions this week and I am excited to build again next week.

@PoetWithPace Год назад

@@TheWelshRunner great to hear the legs are well and good luck with the last few weeks of prep for your big race!

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

@@PoetWithPace Thank you

@Runner2706 Год назад

Great run Matt, really hope it comes together for Valencia. Looking at your HR data I'd be interested to know what your max HR is and what % of max HR range you run in for the marathon? Cheers and all the best.

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks. Max HR is about 192. For this marathon I averaged 87%. I have averaged as high as 92% in a marathon but at that intensity I blew up. It will be interesting to see what I can hold in the main event.

@davidfisher345 Год назад

Well done on running a controlled event - good way to prepare - having fun is the most important part! What are the Top 5 things you learnt / confirmed / will change from this effort for Valencia? Seperate Video

@Thegreat772 Год назад

Mmmmmh so 4hrs before a race. I wasn't sure. I've been eating 2hrs before my races. And last week, I had kinda had a stich or some sort of minor stomach pain. Awesome job BTW 👏 Well done.

@leedennis9616 Год назад

Hi Matt great running mate 👍 how are you carrying your home made gels on the run ? Thanks for the vid mate

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Thanks. 2 x small soft flasks (150ml) with 100g of carbs in each (I got through 1.5 of them). Put one soft flask in each of the back pockets on the Soar Marathon Shorts. I had a back up Maurten (which I didn’t use) on one of the gel loops on the front. Optional as I’ve done it both ways but I use a flipbelt over the top of everything to keep everything nice and stable and no bouncing around. It’s all been trial and error for me but this is now what I’ll use on race day. I think everyone needs to try out what works for them.

@leedennis9616 Год назад

Thank you for the reply Matt much appreciated. I use tailwind for everything and I struggle with marathon distances because they don’t do gels so I make up my own mixture. Thanks again mate good luck in Valencia can’t wait to see you smash it 👍👍👍

@michaelmulligan0 Год назад

Dublin is known as the friendly marathon… hope the atmosphere was good for you

@guruyogiathleticsacademypa8764 Год назад

good

@hennnnerz Год назад

Tell us more about these home made gels?

@Tendonology Год назад

Great run, obviously the endurance at that pace is there, do you think 25 seconds per mile faster for 26 of them in five weeks is realistic? Going through halfway in 70 minutes then speeding up? I guess only you know how you felt. I wonder if running a half at faster than your target pace (65-66 minutes) would have helped more ? Best of luck 🎉

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

Based on training so far I think 2:20 is very optimistic. I’m not ruling it out but I’m not going out at that pace if I’m not in that shape. Anywhere sub 2:29 would be a PB and I’ll do my best to get it as low as a I can. I think this run was more specific to what I wanted to achieve at this stage, than a hard half. Thanks for following along and I hope you enjoyed the video.

@Tendonology Год назад

@@TheWelshRunner sensible approach - good luck with it . These channels are entertaining, I wonder what it would have been like 35 years ago if YT was around then and running was so competitive.

QQ: about your rice for breakfast, how did you heat it up? Did the room have a microwave ?

@TheWelshRunner Год назад

I ate it cold. It’s already cooked but tbh I struggled because it didn’t soften up without being warmed. I did contemplate an AirBnB so that I would have a microwave but there were none suitable available when I booked.

@funvids69 Год назад

@@TheWelshRunner thanks, noticed you mentioned in the video straight after. Is rice normally your go to then? Normally using the microwave. I struggle on breakfast that’s easy to consume. I know Phil sesemann has the pots/tin of ready to eat rice pudding.
