The "take viewers along for the journey" format is why I watch. Literally feels like we're part of the whole thing, and all the training detail means that there is always a useful idea to pick up as well.

Thank you, glad to hear it and I appreciate your continued support

Awesome content as usual Andy. I prefer the less edited, more personal content. I also really enjoy watching the training journey but mainly yourself and Matt as you guys offer so much insight.

Love the pacing strategy aiming for something similar at next marathon. No. 1 running You Tube channel so relatable to the everyday runner 👍

@TheFODRunner Ай бұрын

Awesome, glad you agree, I find it mentally breaks up the distance nicely! Thanks so much 👊

Great video Andy, love the thoroughness of your content. I learn much more with you than with most of the shoetubers out there. You truly represent the "ultimate amateur runner"!

Humble, reflective, informative and you really convey your passion for running. Great videos and yeah, a journey worth watching and taking note. Good luck with it all and I hope to say hello on 20th.

Looking forward to seeing you at Abingdon can’t wait for the taper now

The way you approach running KZbin has had a great influence on our channel. You've demonstrated that you can be successful in terms of a presence by putting a passion for running at the heart of the content. And that 1000s of people will click to watch you doing a training session if it's part of a wider narrative. We also appreciate the regularity of your uploads, which keeps the story up to date. For a minute, looking at the thumbnail, I thought the Pro 3s had made a late bid for Abingdon. I see the Pro 4s are starting to knock around so will be interested on your take on those when you get a pair.

Thanks guys, really do appreciate it! I prefer to follow a regular story myself, so that tends to reflect in the quantity of my own! After the last long run I I think a fair few people couldn’t understand why I wouldn’t use the pro 3, and to be fair I can understand why! But it’s the vaporfly all the way

Love that strategy t.b.h . Trying to take realistic chunks out , like a long term plan. Wish you good luck 🤞 for a very impressive time .

Great vid. Hoping yo see you there. I'm just back from an injury which lost me 3 wks of this training block so will be slightly undercooked. I'm just revising my goals accordingly and hoping to stay fit until the race.

@TheFODRunner Ай бұрын

Best of luck to get there feeling good 👊 being undercooked is waaaaaaay better than being overcooked! Good luck 🤞

Brilliant Andy! thanks for the info, as always very helpfull. Sure there are better edited videos in youTube, but you bring something else and it's something I think many of us can relate to, enjoy and find very helpfull. Waiting for Abingdon !

Great Andy, wish you a great race! I'm just a few days left before my marathon, Oct 6, and not decided which shoe to take. Thinking between AF3 and Asics Sky Paris. LAstly I raced 10K in Sky Paris and shoe were great, I think SKy Paris is better than VF3, very similar to VF2 if not even better.

I ran a half marathon in the vaporfly 2s and both little toes ended up with blisters on those. They are amazing shoes and great for holding pace but I couldn't imagine putting up with that for another half! Because of yourself and fordy I have just ordered the pro3s in the black. Can't wait to try them. Keep up great content mate.. can't wait to see how you get on. I have a feeling you are going to smash it! 👌

@TheFODRunner Ай бұрын

Oh gosh, that’s not ideal! Sorry to hear that! Hope the pro 3s work a treat for you 👊 thanks!

@liamglasper1127 Ай бұрын

Very helpful as always. I'm curious do you do any non-running exercise e.g. strength training, mobility exercises etc.?

@TheFODRunner Ай бұрын

Thanks! Yes daily hip and glute mobility and stretching and core twice a week at the moment

Great update Andy, I can definitely see you getting 2.36 - 2.38. Sorry about the quarantine comment, it did make me chuckle tho 😂😂😂

Any Adios Pro 2023/2024 are a littlw mote sifter and the upper nice to the feet if you will find your size is going to be a much better shoe than the firts batch

Your race strategy sounds great, pushing for a few extra minutes can jeopardise the main goal for sure. Lots of really relevant information here on gels, plans etc. Chester a week Sunday, wish I had a few more weeks but done 4 32+km long runs, close to race pace and decent weekly mileage so hopefully I get around this year and build from this base. Good luck 🤞

@TheFODRunner Ай бұрын

Absolutely buddy, going off too quick in a marathon is a recipe for disaster! Good luck at Chester, hope it goes well for you, sounds like you've covered some good distance in training, time to believe!

@mattiasgustafsson2961 Ай бұрын

Solid video as usual! I ran my first marathon this year and now my training gonna focus more on half marathon training for next years races! Going to get a pair of adios pro 3 now when prices go down! Are you gonna test and review the pro 4 after your marathon? Saw some other content creators start to try them out but no one test the shoes as hard as you 💪🏻 keep the videos coming as they really inspire

@TheFODRunner Ай бұрын

Thank you, I would love to get some... the 3s took a while to release in my size so I will hope that they launch with a 13.5! Awesome, good luck with the half marathon focus!

Hi Andy! You have your training and approach nailed! I wish I could find a pair of Nike Vaporfly Next Percent 2's in my US 9. I'm hanging onto my last pair as long as possible.

@TheFODRunner Ай бұрын

Thanks! I was so lucky with them, I think the best option now is stock x or hope that nike drop some on the app around xmas time randomly like they have before!

Good to see the new Vaporflys have arrived. I wore my Alphafly 3 again the other day and confirmed not my favourite. For us Vaporflys are just so much “less shoe” and in a UK 13 they are always a lot anyway.

@RobertNaik Ай бұрын

I feel the same and I’ve only got them.

@TheFODRunner Ай бұрын

Thanks mate, yes they are here and first session banked in them... I think the vaporfly just works for us doesnt it! Although, hearing the pro 4 has dropped weight is quite exciting for me, lets hope they launch in a 13.5 as well, I wont hold my breath though!

@TimGrose Ай бұрын

@@TheFODRunner In a moment of FOMO I entered the latest draw for a UK 13.5 in the Evo 1 :) Otherwise Adios Pro 4 and indeed Evo SL both look interesting and seemingly Pro 4 bit lighter than Pro 3 which always was largely why I also really just used it as a “super trainer”.

@TimGrose Ай бұрын

@@RobertNaik you mean the Alphafly 3 ?

@RobertNaik Ай бұрын

@@TimGrose yes. I feel a bit like I have to run in a different way with them. But I’m not near as good a runner as you Tim. Maybe they are not meant for someone like me running doing a 130 for a 1/2. Or maybe it’s that I’m more of a cadence runner.
