Great race day vlog. Well done for pushing through to the end. It was my first Great North Run and in that heat it was a proper struggle from mile 8/9 onwards, nice to see me going past you at 8:35 - 8:45 mark. Bonus points for the Whitby Folk Week wristband- top man!!

I'm doing a half marathon this Sunday and there are a lot of nerves and expectation for a PB tied up in the whole thing, so this video was really helpful to watch today - just do your best, if things go sideways don't freak out, and just enjoy it. let's face it, the vast majority of us aren't setting world records and just enjoying the moment is what matters

Good video caught the atmosphere and the conditions. Managed to spot me on your video at 8:36 (bright yellow cap and sun glasses)

Inspiring run! Certainly dug deep and despite the adversity managed to finish strong! Great watch!

Cracking time especially since you did a bit walking. I'd love a 1:59 bu8t my best is 2:01. It was my 17th run this year and at 47 I can't see me ever cracking a sub2 now. I did too much walking this year as I just wasn't fit enough and clocked a 2:26

I’m sure you could get a sub 2! You could even use Jeffing (running and walking at regular intervals) to get your time. But also, if you’re enjoying it, the time isn’t the most important thing, but it can be a motivator! Good luck with your running!

I'm sure you can hit the sub 2, I found your choice of shoe makes a big difference. Get a well cushioned heell as when you're tired you'll need that support.

Good skills, I also ran the GNR 23 for Crohns & Colitis UK, flew in from Belfast for the event ~ my third time doing the GNR 1984, 2021 and 2023

Well done brother. When I initially ran a half mara two years ago I had the runs for a day. I was so concerned. Glad you enjoyed it. That's my no1 goal when I run. But as you see from my vids i do make it look easy now 🤷♂️😁. Keep the good work

Congratulations on finishing it’s an amazing course but certainly not one for a PB so don’t put too much pressure on yourself! I have learnt the hard way and now carry brufen that I wash down with a gel which helps combat pain and helps give you a final push if I need it. Go again and don’t even think about the time, the atmosphere as you know is electric. Well done 👏👏👏
