NEWENT 9 RACE VLOG 2021 - 2 Minute COURSE PB | FOD Runner

[@mikegamber8561]

What a great result!! Brings a new meaning to “bloody hell” good job! Your training is really paying off big time. A 2 minute PB is outstanding. Great recap of a interesting race. Looked like frogger for a minute there.

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks mate! Haha yes coming back through the town was a bit dicey but to be fair the Marshalls were warning the cars and they were going slow so it’s all good

[@ElusiveHedgy]

Great work Andy. Congratulations on the PB!. The course looked amazing. Some nice hilly sections. The marshals looked like they did a good job controlling the traffic when you hit the town.

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks mate! Yeah they were great, they slowed traffic, stopped it if necessary 👌

[@DevRunner]

Hey Andy! Brilliant performance! I'm using this one as inspiration as I get closer to my big race! So happy you course corrected and stayed strong after that mix-up! Keep pushing my friend!

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks mate! Likewise, you’re crushing training at the moment 💪

[@tomh9064]

I love seeing local race videos. Some of the best events! Looks like a great course and well done on the course PB

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks! Local races are the best, they beat bigger races hands down… never any pressure and always good to support local clubs!

[@okantichrist]

Well done! What a beautiful course and what looks like perfect conditions 👍🏻🌞

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks! It’s such a great course!

[@thatguygreg]

More superb running, Andy. You're on fire lately - keep it going!

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks so much mate, I’ll keep trying!

[@bev9708]

CONGRATS Andy!!!! Always GREAT to get a PB, and despite your tumble too, bravo!!! You must've jumped up again quickly. I so often take a tumble, tripping on something, and it f***ing hurts for a moment, and my knees are so ugly now with scars.😂 A lung burner, a lung buster... I like that!! I don't do that so often myself but did a bit of a one yesterday evening actually at 5.45 pace (fast for me) and it did feel great!!

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks Bev! Yeah for that short moment it really hurt and I was so annoyed but I had to try and snap out of it pronto!! Ah awesome well done, the lung burners are always rewarding afterwards!

[@bev9708]

@@TheFODRunner Rewarding afterwards, yeah... when you stop!!! 😂😂

[@PAUL_THE_THING1]

Well done Andy. Congrats on the PB.

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks paul!

[@ultrarunneradam]

Glad it it went well. I seem to be falling over quite a lot recently as well - maybe not used to the damp weather 🥴 top racing!

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks! This was a first for me in a race, ive fallen on the trails a few times but not on gravel!!

[@ultrarunneradam]

@@TheFODRunner youre going to fast mate!

[@TravelRunner]

Awesome result, Andy! The adrenaline from the fall gave you a little boost, perhaps?

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks! I was very annoyed and I lost my breathing rhythm for a bit but once I got it back I felt absolutely fine again, which was good!

[@TheChessPlayer1956]

Sub 6min/mi pace is stellar. Just joined the group on Strava though I am a long distance member across the pond in California in Los Angeles County. Also following on FaceBook now.

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks so much! That’s awesome to hear, appreciate you following along!

[@wastelander1015]

Congrats on the race Andy! With all that speed work in maybe now it's the time to chase a 10k pb! :D

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks! Yes I’ll be doing that in January, got a race set up for it!

[@kkkatie1979]

Congratulations 🎊 on your PB Andy! No pain no gain! Looked really 💪😀👌

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks kate!

[@BanjoStu]

Man down! 😂 Great racing, hitting the deck could've sabotaged the whole thing so well done on pulling it back for that. 👍

[@TheFODRunner]

Haha thanks mate, it was more like “timberrrrrrrr” 😂

[@thomasfritz2698]

amazing race Andy, congratulations, very strong performance

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks Thomas!!

[@ericpetersen8645]

We’ll done Andy! I’ve had the exact same scrapes from a fall.

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks! Annoying when it happens isn’t it, we’ve just got to dust ourselves off and go again!

[@ThatRunningGuy]

Great run Andy💪 Hope your legs ok today

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks mate! It’s a bit sore but ok

[@DanRuns]

What a result!

[@TheFODRunner]

Cheers mate!

[@sharonharrison876]

Awesome running Andy normally I would enjoy those downhills but, they were more painful for my side, happy with my overall time fitness is there just side stopped me getting a sub 53 even sub 52

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks Sharon! Yes that’s often the case isn’t it, the excessive pounding down hill seems to shake up our bodies a bit more!! Really hope you can get it sorted for the next race 🤞

[@JonsConsciousLife]

Good work Andy! Take care of that knee.

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks mate will do 👌

[@brunooliveira1597]

Hope you are OK and strong as ever!

[@TheFODRunner]

Congratulations 🏃‍♂️💥🏃‍♂️

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks

[@timtrenholm3698]

That wasn't a race, it was a bloody hill workout. My legs woulda been screaming after that. Here's hoping you have no longer term effects from the tumble. Well done!

[@TheFODRunner]

Haha it was definitely in the first 2 miles, bit like a road XC 😂

[@danielryan9915]

Great running andy another fantastic vlog too, love your race content. What's the camera called you wear on your hat?

[@TheFODRunner]

Thanks mate! It’s the insta 360 go2 camera, it’s what I recorded the footage on 👌

[@TheFODRunner]

Haha it’s a funny old distance but good fun!

[@leedockerty4531]

Great running andy!!my aim is to get under the 50 minute mark for 10k..im 52 years old now so it will be an achievement for me!
