I never thought I’d see the day that my “non-runner” boyfriend would be running a half marathon! Not just that, but today we are swapping jobs - he’s the pro runner taking his speed to the streets and racing as fast as he can, and I’M behind the camera with the pressure of capturing his magnificent athletic feats! It’s gonna be a real tough one today, how fast will he run? Will I get any usable footage?

I know you joked about the time in the end of the video, but going sub 2 hours in your first half marathon? That's an amazing accomplishment!! Great job, Daniel!

[@nsmith131]

Phily, I don't want to alarm you two, but there is a stealthy grandparent lurking in the back of your car.

[@Tara_Masika]

Grey Dawn....😮

🤣🤣🤣Best comment ever

[@mikestevenson1334]

Loved all the people shouting "LOVE THE GRIND!" :D :D :D

[@esgee3829]

the ciara shots were the best. not just her shouting inspiring words at daniel, but also her leading/following shots with you two in-frame. whether her or someone else (though it will be hard to match the inspiration she added), plan this for future races or even trainings, every once in a while anyway. adds a special something.

[@WanderFreeWithBarb]

Agree, more Ciara! Interview maybe ?? :)

[@marybond6026]

Ciara’s inspirational speech giving me the chills!! Loved this one!! Always makes me so touched to see the positivity around these races and all the supportive people. Great job filming Phily!!

[@hellomark1]

Daniel that's a crazy time for your first half, especially since you've never run that distance?! Damn! You must have a good coach :P And Phily I can't believe you were biking wearing TWO jackets 😅

[@BecMorris94]

My overly enthusiastic love the grind at 8:05 has given me the ick. I suppose I was truly 💫loving the grind💫

[@MariaMarsbar]

No ick here, it was amazing and so wholesome!! I hope your race day went well too!

[@SuperYtc1]

Nothing wrong with that!

[@brindleytimberworks5348]

Well done Daniel, awesome work!! Thanks Phily for the cheer ( I was the guy with the wheelbarrow. 😂 )

[@MrDawson1400]

I nearly had watery eyes watching this, go Daniel. You made it look easy and I think there still alot left out there for improvements. You smashed it. You guys are great.always put a smile on my face.

[@DavidGonzalez-kv1nc]

This was one of the most moving videos you guys have posted. This is why I love working road races and am always the 20mi split timer. I love hearing family and friends cheer on their people as they push themselves to run their own race. Great work, Daniel!! Sub 2 is a great place to start and a great spring board for wherever your running journey takes you.

[@MyfanwyCollins]

You two make the most emotional racing videos. They really show the ups and the downs of what it's like to put yourself out there in a challenge. Ciara's pep talk had me 🥹.

[@goatbloat8233]

Ciara’s presence really helped make this half so much better. I was thinking about the running channel having a better runner pace someone and they just effectively go-pro'd the whole thing and edited all the good bits. The thought of you pacing Daniel for the half would probably be some huge youtube gold. Even better if you bring the children's pumpkin outfit out of retirement.

[@constancellc]

Sso funny seeing Phily surprised at the crowds "we should have planned where to meet at the end" rookie error mate ;)

[@thecaptainchas2820]

Congrats Daniel! Sub-2 on a first time doing the distance is great!

[@maxashfordeagland1106]

Great job Daniel, smashing your A goal 🎉 fab filming Phily, loving the grind 😊

[@kristenl9622]

Phily and Daniel you have me in TEARS! Such a dynamic duo and Ciara wow what a great friend. Can't wait to see what you all have in store next!

[@nberkel]

Dug this more than anticipated! Nice job Daniel!

[@annt7384]

I’ve just started watching and I’m tearing up at Daniel’s courage and your support for each other.

[@elizabethg24]

You guys are definitely hands down my favorite couple!!! I thoroughly enjoy the videos and as a newer runner, less than 6 months, they're very motivating on the days it is hard to run..........well, were hard to run before I injured my ankle. I'm beyond excited for when I'm allowed to get back at it though! Love the grind!!

[@greertops]

Absolutely buzzing for Daniel!!

[@Marktburgess]

Well done Daniel. I am aiming for nearly exactly the same time here in Lima, Peru, where I currently live. Love the channel guys.

[@Nurially]

Got all emotional! Lovely running and lovely filming! Got me really pumped, I'm gonna sign up for a HM 😊

[@PaulMcCart-li3rv]

How cool having Ciara Mageean alongside you. One of N.Ireland's greatest ever athletes!!

[@yasminedavies]

in absolute tears - so emotional - amazing - you should be sooooooo proud

[@katherinecoetzee5521]

Loved watching this. Even felt emotional for Daniel when he got to the finishing line. What a team you two make.

[@annestrock4917]

Wow! How lucky to have Ciara to help pace you through and Phily cheering you on! A dream support crew!

[@Ally_and_Gigs]

13:57 and the sobbing from me started Love the grind. Love the couple behind the grind.

[@fudbeer1]

Well done Daniel.Great filming too think you might of had a few to many layers on though!😄

[@irisr4536]

This is a very entertaining video to watch and the positive vibes are amazing, well done both of you!

[@dianner5148]

Go Daniel! Amazing first half. I love the amount of love and support you have for each other. And the running community is amazing 👏

[@silvermandavid]

Ear to ear smile the whole time. Oy, my face hurts. Nice work, Daniel, but enough about you. Phily, you were absolutely brilliant without parallel. The riding. The filming. The commentary. Simply amazing.

[@geoffh2560]

That was fun role-reversal! You did great Phily.

[@sparkles877]

I feel this. Done my first half marathon in July and the final 2 miles was sheer hell 😢 Well done Daniel!

[@lisaratz5574]

He only walked for the video to make it more dramatic !! Great job 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@FrancescaBuscicchio]

I would have you and Ciara cheering me on for my next race!!! 🤩 Really well done Daniel, you smashed it! 😄💪🏻💪🏻

Nice work, Daniel! Sub-2 on your first half is legitimately impressive. Loved watching this process. Onto the next 😊

[@lauraf5390]

Congratulations! Absolutely love the support❤❤

[@geometricbass]

congrats on placing top 10 in the berlin half yesterday! I was hoping to see you in the A block when i saw in one of your vlogs that you would be participating. Anyway, it was a warm day and 1:12:15 is a firecracker time so big ups!!

[@Merritt7278]

Dan is bad ass, great run for first half. Think this is the way to go Daniel runs while Phily gets a sore arse on the bike 😂 Great vid.

[@abqp7158]

Well done Daniel!!! You powered through to succeed. Should be proud. And well done Phily with the camera (1.9kg lol). Hope you didn't get into trouble for cycling on the course in the middle of runners. Might have to think about how to avoid that the next time. Love the grind!!

[@JanetSuzanne]

This definitely got me emotional 🥹 Well done Daniel! I’ve got my first half marathon next weekend (London landmarks!) and luckily for me I got the flu last weekend so I haven’t been able to do my longest runs… but I’m just hoping to finish it and enjoy the day and the atmosphere!

Huge mistake on my part: first watched Daniel's video and then this one. Still enjoyed both very much. Can't wait to do a race in my new LTG singlet!

Careful! Axe murderer in the back seat of the car.

[@juliae5639]

Haha you totally got me with the ending. Thought you were leaving us hanging 😅

[@latebloomerabroad]

I'm proud of both of you! Even when I was a soccer player and triathlete in my 20's and 30's, I never had the courage to run a 1/2 marathon. Well done, Daniel! And well done, Phily, for not wrecking on the bike while filming. I couldn't do it.😜

[@PaddyQuiggin]

Love it Daniel, amazing work. Phily, definitely... adequate haha

Been watching the channel since the beginning and have to say best video yet. Not sure what that means.... 😅

Nice one Daniel, you smashed it mate.

[@emmarobinson4130]

i got a little teary when he started running again at mile 11, that’s NOT easy to when you feel down and out and he killed it

Well done Daniel 🎉 you got the best coach ❤

[@O-1704]

I have never seen this many bottles at one aid station during a race. How many runners were there? Lovely to see your dedication and excitement for Daniels race. Love the grind!

About 2800 in the HM. It's Wilmslow running festival.

Where did this race take place? Pretty sure i saw Hazel Grove pop up on one of the signs. Very local.

[@stevejt1000]

Well done Daniel but not sure about you cycling on the course

[@hkim9151]

Wow… sub2 h on first attempt. I had to train for 18 months to get to that milestone… Daniel has natural talent… I think his ability is beyond what anybody can imagine… 😮

[@arranroberts]

Great video as always but you should know better than cycling on the course Phily

[@richfoxall]

Exactly what I was thinking - brilliant video - great motivator but please don’t ride on a race - what would happen if dozens decided to pace/motivate on bikes ? -Quite dangerous and a bit disrespectful to the other runners.

[@sarahhagen2051]

Way to go Daniel!!!

[@condorenvy]

Good on you, Daniel!

[@cattpoops21]

Why am I crying on a Saturday morning?! 😭😂 you guys giving Daniel such lovely encouragement is so beautiful 🥹

[@ollie1317]

In some ways i think the footage is better than Daniel can get at your races,Take it as a compliment if you like? but i think its mainly the ability to get up close with smaller crowds, less runners and no barriers stopping you going wherever you like that you couln't get at those big city type events. It just kind of gave it something a little different. No one mentioned the really hard bit of editing? that was still Daniel i assume.

[@hannahbloxsome1993]

Smashed it! And Ciara what a wee angel!!!!

[@spacemanstanly]

Let's go wheelbarrow killed me for some reason

Were either of you tempted to swap roles midway through the race! ? 😄

NICE ONE, DANIEL!!!

GREAT video!

Didn’t need a cheek swab to tell that you’re 97% English. All we needed was that you measure distance in miles but weight/mass in kilos. 😏

She announced last week she's no longer with New Balance Manchester. Free agent for now, ON might be interested, exciting times for her!

More toilets there, than there is at Belfast Marathon! (Not even joking)

[@abqp7158]

First toilet at 9 miles when I did Belfast marathon in 2021. Not good. Loads of guys just went in the bushes in Ormeau Park. Tricky for female runners. 😢

[@markm3747]

Not what I want to hear😮

[@timothyfranklin4808]

@@markm3747 yeah! I done it in 2022... At the start I'd say around 20-30 toilets...MASSIVE queues from a good 45mins before start.... Then there's toilets at the city hall (about 4 toilets...I had to stop there)... Then more toilets a good bit further on....then at the finish obviously....But as someone with bad IBS, I'd have loved more toilets spread throughout.... In comparison, apparently Berlin marathon has them every 5km

[@marcusszavaleta]

We stan Dan.

[@Bertziethegreat]

So we're all in agreement: We go sub to Daniel so he has to run a marathon. Deal? Deal.

[@nathan13674]

Well done. I think that's quite a decent time for a first half, especially when you haven't been running long. I'm aiming for sub 2 hours on my first half in a few months. I'm 80kg and it's gonna be really tough for me. How much do you weigh Daniel?

[@Antonnick]

Schönes Paar, weiter rnachen!
