Valencia Marathon 2024 EP2 - Road To Sub 3

[@Q.OnTheRun]

Appreciate the shout out mate, great to have you back on YT. All the best Valencia, I’ve no doubt you’ll smash it!

[@TheWu]

Enjoyed the podcast. It’s my Sunday long run ritual. This time you didn’t “welcome” Brett and Andy to their own podcast hahaha

[@BenCXCI]

Brilliant to see these kinds of videos back, Will! It's always great to get a bit of insight on the journey 🙏 100% believe you can do it mate 👍truly inspirational as a lot of people don't realise how difficult it can be managing a training plan while being a family man 🫡👏 all the best mate 👍

[@TheWu]

Thanks Ben appreciate the comment. Just got to keep at it and hopefully one day it all clicks together.

[@matthewwalters3504]

All the best at Valencia Will, look forward to the vid, great to see you back on the tube 😊

[@TheWu]

Thank you! 😀

[@moayedatlas]

See you on the start line mate! I’ll be on sub 3 pace too.

[@TheWu]

Let’s go!

[@NeillyVille]

I'll be in Valencia too, hope to see you there 👊🏿

[@TheWu]

👋🏼

[@sivabala5232]

Like father, like son

[@TheWu]

Haha he already tries to run and race me.

[@RunThePlanet]

Thanks for the training update Will. Great to see how you train, and some nice places there too. A week and a bit now and we'll be there 😃 I think you'll be surprised how fast that course is, faster than manchester or maybe not as I don't know how Amsterdam compares.

[@TheWu]

Amsterdam was fast and flat but just the weather was terrible. I also got mad cramp so I guess I found the course tough haha. Hope to see you there , be good to have catch up and chat.

[@sunnilau999]

Good luck for Valencia

[@TheWu]

🙌

[@BrianTaylor-hj9vq]

Good to see you back and Good luck with Valencia. I did Valencia half this year and I'm hoping to do marathon next year. Was that Graves park when you did your Sunday run, looks familiar to me.

[@TheWu]

Yea my fave part of graves that! Does the half share part of the marathon route. I imagine it’s a fast course too.

[@emanuelsantos5585]

You gonna love valencia like i did

[@TheWu]

It does look super nice. Just hoping it’s not too hot!

[@solefreak2]

Where abouts are you staying in Valencia? I'm miles away from everything, only decent priced hotel I could find at the time.

[@TheWu]

We had our Airbnb cancelled 3 times in a row so we had to rush and get a place quickly. It’s in the centre. There isn’t much choice but time was running out so had to pay a bit more than we planned.

[@Regimeshifts]

he's back!

[@TheWu]

💯

[@AndyCliffMTB]

Good luck Will, it’s great to hear that you’re not putting any pressure on yourself for a sub-3, and your enforced break from KZbin has also probably done you a world of good, it’s pretty time-consuming making videos so you’ve reset yourself. I’ll try to track you and Matt on the day via an app if there is one😊

[@TheWu]

Thanks Andy, yea enjoyed the break and glad I got healthy again. Just see what happens in Valencia and I’ll be fine to go again if it’s not a sub 3. As long as I’m getting back to full fitness it means I can build on top of it.

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@ Just enjoy the experience Will😊

[@tworunningbrooms]

Now you're back on the bus you'll get your Sub 3. Does not matter when or where because when it comes it will be all the sweeter. Did you not sell your GoPro in the end or have you upgraded?

[@TheWu]

Yes I think just being back healthy is the main thing this time round. Try for the sub 3 but if it’s feels obvious it’s too soon then so be it. I’ll go again and build from this. Yep sold the Go Pro, put it on eBay and it sold within minutes (I may have sold it too cheap 😅) I bought the new DJI Action 5. It’s smaller and lighter, also has better low light than go pro and much longer battery life.

[@tworunningbrooms]

@@TheWu Probably easier to carry around the marathon too then.

[@WoodyRunning]

Good luck for Valencia Will! What do you use to record these videos?

[@TheWu]

I used to have a Go Pro 10 but recently sold it for a DJI Action 5.

[@conradburdekin722]

Do the Shu people not do varying thicknesses?

[@TheWu]

Yes but only 2 types. Training sock or racing. I have the racing one so I imagine the training one to be even heavier and thicker!

[@conradburdekin722]

@ oh!

[@daniel52031]

I think you have done right training a lot without Carbons. It can really help

[@TheWu]

Yep definitely heard a lot do people mention this.

[@davidduxbury9246]

Coffee and chill...

[@kennyosborne5835]

Class mate. Keep going. You're on track. I have signed up for Manchester 2025 so would love if you got sub 3 then if you're entered.

[@TheWu]

Nice ! Unfortunately I highly doubt I will run Manchester marathon. I’ve got a bit bored of it but one day I’ll be back for sure.

[@kennyosborne5835]

@@TheWu I understand. Looks like the year I do Manchester will be the year my two favourite youtubers(runthepanet) don't do it!
