Awesome running. What a fantastic time 👊

[@harryruns1]

Thanks Stu! 💪

[@jh230377]

Well done mate. I’m running this next year and hope to get a similar time as what you got 👍 🏅🏅🏅

[@samuelbethune1826]

Great vid and well done for taking part knowing the PB wasn’t expected. Thought I’d come back and say thanks again. I nearly pulled out after missing my march training block due to injuries. After seeing your recent videos about going to enjoy, I decided to take part. 1st Marathon and race in general - 3:38. I’m over the moon. Thanks man!

[@harryruns1]

Wow thanks Samuel, that’s really great to hear! Glad you still went for it and 3.38 is a seriously good time for your first marathon, hopefully see you there next year 💪

[@samuelbethune1826]

Thanks man. For sure, hope to cross paths at the next event.

Unbelievable stuff! Well done 💪🏃‍♂️

Thanks Mark 💪

And good times to Harry I found this KZbin channel last week

[@leestockport6971]

Great reliving the such a great marathon, Manchester supporters are so good. Well done, Harry 👏

[@harryruns1]

Thank you Lee! Manchester supporters are the very best 👌

[@AndyCliffMTB]

Congratulations on that time Harry, I remember you saying you weren’t expecting anything special given your lead up but 3:33 is superb. I had you down (privately) for a 3:42 as I thought you’d do far better - and you did. Great video, you captured the atmosphere well and as you say, the crowds are amazing, they’re all over the course and it helps with that distance. Good to see you at 4 and 6 miles😊

[@harryruns1]

Thanks Andy, really appreciate you supporting and I was surprised with the time as well!

[@danjonesguitarist]

Loved the video Harry. I did Paris on April 7th and also got 3.33! Well done to you. Dan

[@harryruns1]

Thanks Dan! Great running at Paris to! 💪

Great run. Best wishes out there. Glad the better weather is on the way.

[@harryruns1]

Thank you! 💪

[@briansmyth1502]

Amazing run, superb time. Manchester was great. I managed neg splits too and got my first sub 4, just, by 19 secs. 9.15, 9.14, 9.10, 08.58 at each 10k.

[@harryruns1]

That’s great running! And super consistent, congrats on your time 🎉💪

[@RunThePlanet]

Well done Harry, 3hr33 that's one hell of a sub4 !!

[@harryruns1]

Thank you! Wasn’t expecting anywhere near it to be honest

[@RunThePlanet]

@@harryruns1 yeah it's the best marathon in the UK for me, obviously for pace but many reasons more too I'd say

[@JM-rm3lt]

Well done mate. Just subbed.

[@harryruns1]

Thank you! Appreciate it 👌

[@Martin_Edmondson]

Fantastic run, mate. That was impressive! I knew you could do it.

[@harryruns1]

Thank you Martin! Appreciate that 💪

[@Mimazali]

Wow reminds me of Sunday so much. Thanks for sharing and well done.

[@harryruns1]

Thank you! How did you get on?

[@Mimazali]

Loved it. My first. I’m not a quick runner and was terrified of the sweeper bus. But no issues thankfully

[@harryruns1]

@@Mimazali that’s great! Congrats on your first marathon 🎉💪 I hope you’re not feeling too sore now

[@allanmcdonough9334]

Well done Harry. I was there on Sunday, in fact my mate is running in front of you for a chunk in the middle. He's in the red and white Knowsley Harriers top. I did 3:22:03 so was equally happy as I had an injury during my block that set me back 3 weeks. Still a 4 minute PB and 7 minutes faster than my time from last year on this course.

[@harryruns1]

That’s great running Allan! Thanks for watching and glad you had a good race day 💪

[@Costilicious3]

Well in mate! I did the Manchester Marathon as my first ever one. Had to start alternate between walking & running on the second half. Did it in 5 hours 30 so I’m soooo slow loooool

[@harryruns1]

That’s not a bad effort at all and you still got it done which is a great achievement in itself. Have you got another one planned?! 💪

[@Costilicious3]

@@harryruns1 going to defo do another one, would like to get a sub 5 hour. Up until I started pulling up I actually enjoyed it!!!

[@harryruns1]

@@Costilicious3 you can definitely get there, I’m sure you learnt a lot from your first marathon training block to take into the next one

[@PaulHodgson-Crome]

You smashed it Harry! I came in at 4 hrs 2 mins in my first marathon, so happy with that. What an awesome day

[@harryruns1]

Great stuff Paul, that’s a seriously good first marathon time! Hope to see you back there next year to smash the 4 hour mark! 💪

[@J_bixby]

I was similar at 4:01, very disappointed at the time. But i'm signed up for next year and absolutely aiming for sub 4:00

[@samsonslaphead1]

Great time Harry well done ✅

[@harryruns1]

Thank you so much! 💪

[@deano100able]

Well done Harry, great effort, I could only dream of getting a time like that so should be proud of that mate. I did it in 4 hrs 25, slow start being so congested, had a good pace and felt strong up until 19 to 20 when my right hip started going a bit. Had to shake it out, then did half a mile then walked a minute which helped. Best event ever. Like you said, crowd were amazing, never had so many people shouting my name out I loved it. Definitely doing the half later this year, finding it hard to recover though. Massage later this week thank god, hows your recovery going?

[@harryruns1]

Thanks Dean and great effort by you to! The event was amazing, I’m so glad I took part. Massage sounds like a great idea, might try a slow recovery waddle tomorrow and then lots of stretching and chilling out for me 👌

[@deano100able]

@@harryruns1 😅 a waddle sounds about right mate. I've come to lakes for some hiking to recover, That's my favourite way to rest and relax, What's next for you?

[@harryruns1]

@@deano100able nice bit of active recovery 👌 New forest marathon in September, 20 week training block starts next week! Sub 3 here we come 💪

Well done mate.

Thanks mate, appreciate it! 💪

[@LeeChetwynd]

Great video. You really captured the atmosphere of the crowds. They were brilliant! It was great to have lots of strangers shouting encouragement and using my name off my Bib. The most important question I have for you is this: what were the tiny tots quoir singing when you ran past? For me they were belting out Nirvana's smells like teen spirit. It was very surreal and I woke up this morning wondering if I'd imagined it 😂. Anyway great running dude. Well done. I'm happy with mine and ticked all my goals.

[@harryruns1]

Thanks Lee! How did you get on? I must of missed the tiny tots choir! Gutted

[@LeeChetwynd]

@@harryruns1 I ran it in 3:52. First ever marathon (and I'm not planning another). My optimistic goal was under 4 hours and my realistic goals were to run all the way without walking and get under 4:30. So I am really, really happy 😊. Absolutely smashed my goals.

[@harryruns1]

@@LeeChetwynd that’s seriously good Lee, well done! Sub 4 in your first marathon is great, you must be buzzing 👌

Did you get your bag from the end tent on the right? Think i seen you after but as a new sub i wasnt sure if it was you.

[@harryruns1]

Thanks Ian, I didn’t leave a bag in the bag drop but I did spend quite a long time lying on the ground in that area after the race so could have well been me 😅

[@ian7328]

@harryruns1 glad I didn't say hi Harry then,suppose I could have just looked at the name,but not easy thinking straight then 😅

[@FilmMyRun]

Well done Harry. Do you know btw, there’s an ultra runner with the same channel name as you @harryrunsUK

[@harryruns1]

Thank you! And yes someone pointed it out to me recently. I’m just thinking of a name change I like 😊

Love your channel by the way 👌
