[@danforward9438]

This run blew me away. Love the banter between you and your dad, too

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Thanks very much!!

[@GordonCampbell-v1q]

Insane pace for a training run! Loved the video.

[@TheFODRunner]

Incredible, you’re in some serious shape… you looked very comfortable all the way through that 👍

[@JanisWatson-g2s]

Well done Ryan! Charlie your a star ⭐️

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Thanks!

[@ZekeW208]

Beast! Nice work

[@RunningAllTheTyne]

That’s savage, great that you have that support from your dad too. Top class

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Thank you! Yeah he was a pretty good runner in his day so knows how much the company helps

[@Paulbundy64]

Raced against your Dad many years ago your just as dedicated as he was good luck in Valencia 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Ryan.Thomson]

That’s definitely a big compliment. Thank you!!

[@derekpugh5457]

You and your dad together are a class act…..brilliant video 😂👏🏻

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Haha, glad you enjoyed it! He seems to so hopefully I can keep getting him involved!

[@derekpugh5457]

@@Ryan.Thomson firstly brilliant run, you look all set to be as prepared as possible for the marathon… are you doing to buy a new pair of trainers for it ?

[@henryedward1194]

When you uploaded this to Strava I hoped you’d filmed it; amazing run & like others have said, you make it look so effortless. Looking in great shape for Valencia!

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@butarer9207]

Thomson, Scullion and Grantham🦾 The Scot, the Irishman and the Brit❤

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Proper elite company that is. I appreciate it a lot!

[@alangray8952]

Like your dad's banter and fueling strategy; pack of crisps and bar of chocolate 😂

[@Ryan.Thomson]

😂 and it worked so who am I to question it

[@alangray8952]

@Ryan.Thomson think I spoke to early before I seen the square sausage recovery 🤣 just came across your channel, great videos mate 👍

[@samdking]

Incredible running Ryan. I'm in awe of how easy you made this look. Go strong in Valencia, you certainly deserve it. Definitely keen to try an empire biscuit (had to google it!)

[@JohnBirtchetSharpe]

Fantastic work Ryan. road ultra sure ... (Comrades marathon beckons )Very well done!

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Thank you! I’m definitely keen for some longer road stuff one day! Hopefully got a few more years at the marathon though!!

[@ConorOD451]

I have my first ever marathon in February, but last weekend's long run was 42.5km to get a feel for the distance. Biggest issue for me was boredom! You're lucky to have your dad come along, he's great! What blows me away watching runners at your level is how effortless you make paces like 3:20km/min look. I only hit that pace for maybe 20-30 seconds during a stride and I reckon I look like I'm about to die 😅

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Yeah even when he keeps his jokes to himself, just knowing there’s someone there with you helps a lot. Do you listen to any podcasts or music? I think that would really help for the training days. I wouldn’t expect you’d feel the same boredom when race day comes. Marathons really are amazing days! Haha, thank you! I’ve been doing this for a really long time. If you just keep stacking the consistent training weeks you’ll be amazed at how much you can improve!

[@ConorOD451]

@@Ryan.Thomson I'd just watched your previous video (15 running tips) a few days before and actually grabbed a few of the podcasts you mentioned on that. Got through a few episodes of 5 Miles Easy during the session. Yeah, race days are really something else. Absolutely love them.

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Glad you enjoyed the recommendations! A good running podcast can definitely make a run fly by

[@EdwardoTheSheep]

Doing multiple 17 minute 5ks while having a chat to the camera is wild 😂

[@PancakeMan123000]

That's epic!

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Thank you!

[@kennyewan1602]

Great video, hope you PB Valencia👍

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Thank you!

[@ianbarnett6027]

Man this was an impressive training session. You looked so aerobically strong and so relaxed. I think you are lining yourself up to a very fast marathon time an PB.

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Thank you!!

[@angelantoniogarciaegido7534]

Impresionante que salvajada estas 💪

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Muchas gracias!

[@DeanMcM]

Classic Charlie @ 3:40

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Has he been doing stuff behind my back my whole life? We’ll never know

[@al_conroy]

You can't call yourself an ultra runner as you didn't stop for pizza and a quarter pounder during the run 😀

[@Ryan.Thomson]

😂 I know I can fit that in next time

[@butarer9207]

More of pops please

[@Ryan.Thomson]

Haha, shouldn’t be hard, he loves it
