Nick these type of videos and in race breakdowns really separate your channel vs others and something I really appreciate. The in race strategy and how to get it back together rather than full blow up is something to look up to. Keep on rocking! Boom!

Great video, I was further back, 1:54, my first half marathon. The section around Grantchester did feel hard, but I enjoyed the end. Thanks for all the advice on your channel.

Amazing video Nick and amazing effort so pleased for you. It’s probably one of the best POV videos I’ve ever seen. I’m so glad the video didn’t cut out when you wanted it to that bit of footage and commentary was amazing you showed us raw footage , no man’s lands , the demons and what it’s really like out there. Just a quality video. On a other note when you one day hang your running shoes in many years time I think you could have a great career as a commentator as well - All the best mate - keep grinding 👍🏻👍🏻🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️💨💨💨💨

Yay congrats Nick. I did it too coming in a much slower 1:57 although still a 4 min PB. Saw your name in the results and wondered when I'd see your video. That middle Barton Road/Granchester section was really brutal with the mild hills. Far more spectators came out later filling a lot of the pavements in the city. Probably not one I'd do again however as once you got to my wave 6 there were way too many people for only half closed roads and paths 90% of the time meaning constant weaving around slower people in earlier waves resulting in a lot of mild clipping and lack of running space and the water stations were a congested nightmare grinding to a halt. Didn't really clear up until about mile 11.

It's so refreshing to be able to hear much better and more accomplished runners going through exactly the same types of experiences and thoughts! I struggle so much with not going out too quickly, knowing exactly rhat I'm doing it, and paying the price later on 😂 One thing I've not quite understood from your rave videos I've watched so far, is why you say that the last kilometre doesn't count. I'm guessing it's because of the bug adrenaline rush that lets you find an extra gear? Am I right, or is it for another reason?

Love your videos Nick! You have really inspired me to take up running properly for the first time in my life. Really got the bug now and sneaked a 17.59 parkrun a few weeks ago and ran 1:22 at the Cambridge Half this weekend which was my first ever half marathon. Would love to hear more about your journey on how you got faster over time, eg what was your mileage and training like when you were running sub 18, then sub 17 etc. How long did it take you to improve to the point of doing the rapid sub 15 times you regularly post now!? Cheers, Richard

Amazing Nick. You are so inspirational and good to know the best also have to grind it. Just did PB half. Only my second half mara racing it. And yeah i so felt like giving up midway to 15k. And locking on to others really helps. That wilderness period you had those demons were screaming im sure. How do you operate and chose go3 cam. Thinking of getting one. Could you also charge it while running say for a marathon. Doing Boston hence wanna max the footage
