Great run Stu. Tough day out there but you did great to break 2. Congrats!

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

It was tough and I'm currently fat so the heat didn't help. A long way from my best but after a rough few years it was great to be out racing again. Il be back next year 👌

This video has given me the final push to run the Gold Coast half Marathon in 2 weeks!! Great work mate!!! The ride on Saturday looked awesome too!! Awesome part of the world!!!

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

You mean if I can do it, then anyone can. 🤣🤣 I make running look like hard work. You got this, my philosophy was to remember to enjoy it.

[@col_tris_hard]

@@SwimBikeRunStu hahah!! I've got some friends running the full so was toying with that idea but for once my head ruled my heart.... I don't mind the half distance and I've ran this one before!! 👌

[@racheld1844]

Well done not only on the distance but a great time too. Double the miles from your longest training run so far is pretty impressive 😁 Only been to Swansea once and that was for a stay over before running a trail race over on Gower. One of the most beautiful places I’ve been.

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

My slowest half marathon ever but also the one I'm probably the most proud of. This time last year I thought I'd never race again so super chuffed to take part again and not worry to much about that time. Agree the gower is ace and I've watched many a trail run down there. Happy running.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Well done Stu. Love the early start. I’m the same. Ridiculous!

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Thank-you. Hate the logistics of race day. Feel much better when I'm there and ready. Always end up being stupidly early and hanging around 🤣 One day il learn but not today.

[@thethompsonsgotagopro.]

Well done! Looks a nice place to run. I think I’ll have to persuade Gaz to this one next year. I’ve subscribed to Jenna’s channel too

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Swansea is an amazing place. Especially in the hot weather we have been having. Jenna will really appreciate the follow 👌

[@thethompsonsgotagopro.]

@@SwimBikeRunStu I enjoyed her vlog. I’m feeling inspired to give Parkrun a go again after over 3 years with the method that Jenna does 😊

[@nataliej2902]

I did Swansea last week and it was so hot that I knew I had to slow down. The marshals were amazing. Well done for beating two hours

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Oh my days it was hot. But we got it done. Well done for finishing it. Hope you enjoyed the post race celebrating 👌

[@nataliej2902]

@@SwimBikeRunStu I will be back next year. Its my favourite half marathon.

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Good video for a forgotten you'd signed up event - is it Bolton next? Or anything else in the pipeline for the taper?

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Thank you. Was good to get round. Can't believe i forgot I'd signed up for it. Yes Bolton is the next race. I have nothing else now. All eyes on ironman and tapering 👌

[@PartTimeTriathlete]

Great result Stu

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Thank you very much 👌

[@tworunningbrooms]

Great result there off a long run of 7 miles.

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

Thank you. Not the best prep for a half marathon 🤣🤣

The tip I have for bleedy nips is - Step 1: Have bulletproof Hispanic nips - Step 2: Don't not have callused Hispanic nips

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I usually wear some nip guards. Wasn't the most fun in the shower after 🤣🤣🤣🤣
