[@justanoldfashionedrunner605]

it must have been a rollercoaster ride of emotions, watching the exciting race and the atmosphere around it and not being able to run and feeling sick....sometimes that is how it goes glad you made the best of it

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks Thomas, it absolutely was a rollercoaster… still feeling gutted now but delighted to of had the opportunity to head out there and enjoy sunny Spain!

[@sigmatau8231]

The footage...awesome; but dude the music is nutz!!!

[@emanuelsantos5585]

Those guys are fast!!! Like a feather!! Great filming Andy

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks buddy!

[@Manuel_712]

Good morning. All the best with your recovery, Andy. Like from Spain. A nice day for everyone.

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks buddy

[@jh230377]

Gutted for you Andy. Had to pull out of a local race myself for next month due a lower back injury currently. All the best going forward. 👍

[@Trwoodward]

Hope you’re feeling better soon! I think illness is like any other injury - sometimes you can get away with running through it but it’s never the smart thing to do! I think your mantra of train (or rest!) today so that you can train tomorrow applies here too 😊

[@TheFODRunner]

Yeah it definitely does, I’ve been able to do 2 small easy runs since getting home some in the long run, it’s been worth resting

[@reinhardsteger4528]

Wonderful video, happy you had a good time. See you next year at the race!

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks buddy!

[@TqOnTheRun]

Soon be back at it mate! Great vid.

[@TheFODRunner]

👊

[@doubled1509]

Gutted for you Andy. Have Manchester marathon booked but picked up an injury which means Aqua running and gym work for a while instead of running to keep the fitness levels up and hopefully get to run it. Respect for the vlog and I hope you and the family are having a lovely time👍

[@TheFODRunner]

Sorry to hear that, hope the injury clears up soon for you! And thank you 🙏

[@amandawalker4510]

Hardest but best decision Andy.. great vision. Take care recover properly and you'll be back before you know it 🎉

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks so much Amanda

[@aidanoc19]

Kofuzi runner's weekend -esque vlog there and at least you did the decent thing and brought the family! Seriously gutted you got so ill, on the up side in a few years the kids mightn't remember whether you ran or here or not but will always remember the adventure of going to Barcelona and you'll remember the day you saw Kandie run sub 60 in a unique city.

[@TheFODRunner]

Yeah absolutely! So true 👊 thank you

[@clairel3730]

Sorry you were not well enough to run - I hope you get back on track soon. Great filming and fantastic support by you to the others taking part 🙂

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks Claire! Slowly starting to feel human again

[@patrickedwards5804]

Andy, Andy, Andy, you did the right thing mate! Eyes down for a showing in Landan! LET'S GET IT ON!

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks mate! I look forward to your comments, they always make me chuckle! LANDAN BABY!

[@nrg_runs]

Well done Andy - it takes a lot of strength, even when you know it’s not the right thing, to not step on to that start line… particularly after two days of travel to be there! The next video on my channel was filmed on my first run back after illness… lots going around at the moment! Hope you feel better soon 👍🏼

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks buddy! Hope you are feeling better too after your illness

[@nrg_runs]

Yes so much better, thanks. Think I came back one day too soon when looking at my heart rate, but amazing how quickly you can bounce back with the right rest, recovery and easing yourself back in 😊 (although not so much if it’s an infection like you fear 😕)

[@mikehobbs624]

Sorry to hear you couldn't run it Andy, it sounds like you were sensible and knew it was the right thing to do. You will recover faster with the rest. Great video, watching the elites fly by is always inspiring, they make it look so easy!! Congrats to Cory. I hope you're fully fit to nail Bourton 👍

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks buddy, just need to be patient with this one!

[@elninochin0]

Happens to the best of them - Ben Parkes had similar with UTMB last year, Ben is Running also with his Kenya trip. You’re not alone mate, save yourself for another day. Great video.

[@TheFODRunner]

Cheers buddy 👊 definitely not alone!

[@OttoVogrincic]

It's sad that you couldn't run it, but I hope at least you got a nice vacation with the family

[@TheFODRunner]

We did thank you

[@jonathanwatkins447]

Sorry you couldn't run. Hope your feeling a bit better. Way to make the most of it. Great footage. Thanks

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks buddy

[@garethevans2499]

So sorry you didn't get to run it! Had a similar experience with Berlin, first time around, and it's so frustrating. At least it wasn't your goal race and got to see the city

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks buddy, yes we made the most of it thankfully! Sorry to hear about Berlin

[@garethevans2499]

@@TheFODRunner I went back and did it, even though I was 5 days out of COVID quarantine I LOVED it! Don't let the experience this time put you off trying for another international event!

[@SharaRuns]

It's hard watching a race you were meant to take part in but you're clearly not well enough, so good call. Hope you feel better soon 😷

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks!

[@bendigeidfranemmanueljones5694]

Get well soon

[@TheFODRunner]

Thank you

[@TadeuszCantwell]

Hope you get back to running soon. I know how much it sucks to not be able to.

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks buddy, how are you getting on with your recovery?

[@TadeuszCantwell]

@@TheFODRunner Hospital visits and scans for month after month. Started some easy running, but I'm advised no long distance.

[@TheFODRunner]

@TadeuszCantwell oh man. Is that a permanent thing? Or just until they work out what’s wrong?

[@TadeuszCantwell]

@@TheFODRunner They know what's wrong but the treatments haven't worked so far and the next one has more risk but could work.

[@TheFODRunner]

@@TadeuszCantwell I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you buddy 🤞

[@livegreatalways]

The Hero...😮😂😂

[@TheFODRunner]

Got to have some big balls to run in those through the city of Barcelona!

[@livegreatalways]

@TheFODRunner I agreed. You and I won't have the courage to do that. Imagine standing at the start line in those amongst the women, woww 🙃🙌

[@junglisttt]

Almgren killed it 🇸🇪🚀

[@TheFODRunner]

He did!

[@leighntx8989]

Running IS the reward. The reward is that run and future better runs, more joyful running. Thinking about what we or anyone deserves can become toxic. Enjoy as much of life as you can. When you're sick and can't do that I find pathetically groaning on my hotel bed is an acceptable alternative 😝

[@TheFODRunner]

Very true... I tried to make the most of it!

[@Stevenc1984]

Completely the right decision not to race, not worth risking anything for London by putting your recovery back. Hope you're starting to feel better soon🤞🏻

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks buddy

[@NathanAus123]

Was there just a single wheelchair racer?

[@TheFODRunner]

Yep!
