Hi guys,I'd like to see you guys run up Forest Hill in Llanwrst North Wales part of the Snowdonia half marathon,a 1:7 climb,I just want to see someone run up it👍
I did the Bath Two Tunnels half recently, the longest stretch underground in any race in the U.K. I bet it would be awesome on the channel, they run it several times a year.
Respect Mr Baddeley 👍- even though its past your pro days, you clearly still keep yourself in a really competitive condition (at least for us non Olympians!). Glad you had a solid race here - and looking forward to see what you're up to next. Would be great to see how you might do tackling a half or a marathon for the channel 🏃
At my current pacing Andy’s done two 10K’s in the time it takes me to do one! I hadn’t considered how badly Covid would affect my lungs and heart considering I wasn’t too unwell with it.
I've never ever ran in my life, started 2 months before the Manchester 10k, due to my niece being really I'll with leukemia, after training my arse off running every morning I went from couch to 10k in 52.47, at the Manchester 10k I'm 47 years old and proud of my achievement and the funds I raised for my niece.
Well done, impressive. A good challenge, The Snowdonia Half Marathon, I did this a couple of weeks ago, total brutal scenic race, watch out for mile 11 on a 1:7 gradient hill
Got on the ballot for GNR and also signed up for the GSR October 2nd. Did the manchester HM last Sunday and paced it all wrong much like you Andy. Too humid to attempt under 90 minutes so winced my way to 97. Not got a target in mind for newcastle. Just want to experience the event and hopefully get some good vids and pics from the iconic locations.
Great job, Andy! Especially, as others have noted, the self filming aspect. I believe you would have made your "A" goal had it not been for the distraction of filming for our benefit. Congrats 👏👏
Well done Andy! I did the exact same thing wanted sub 35 and threw it away with a 3:12 first km devastating ended up with 35:04. Glad you got a sub 37 posted though mate
35:04 is an incredible time Josh congratulations! 🎉🎉 It’s so tempting to run a really fast first couple of km’s, especially with the excitement and anticipation of such a large event
Lmao I ran 37:34 in the same race and must have run right past Andy when he’s recovering after finishing at 3:30 in the video and I never knew he was there 🥲🥲
Great video Andy and we know how capable you are but still a fantastic time. I'm doing the GNR in September, I hope we will see the running channel there??
I am running a half marathon in a few weeks that is mostly uphill for the first 9 miles, then downhill to the finish. Pacing is a nightmare. After your pace issues in this race, would you consider taking on a hilly race with a detailed pace strategy to see if you can hit your targets each km? Better yet, try to run the same pace every km for an entire hilly race!
The old magic is still there Andy but I can’t help but think you would have gone a lot quicker if you hadn’t been talking to the camera the whole way round.
Well done Andy, brilliant running and time! Shame I didn't catch you about before or after to say hi! i missed out on my goal time (38:30-38:45), i was on pace until 7k and then the heat got to me 🤷♂️ still a 50 second PB with 39:36!
@@runningchannel fingers crossed! I was still very happy with a PB. I think the next race is the Tolkein Trail (first ever trail race). I'm sure there'll be a couple of track/interclub races on!
AYO!! That pacing is INCREDIBLE!! Especially doing that whilst Filming also!! Well Done Andy!! 😳😳 As far as Challenges go... There IS the TCS Toronto Waterfront Marathon happening on October 16th (My Birthday), and I would LOVE to see one of the TRC Crew there also?? Especially seeing as You Guys essentially carried Me through My whole Training Block for My First Marathon, which took place at the start of this month 😇🔥
Now you can travel come down to Auckland, New Zealand 🇳🇿 and do the Auckland Marathon on October 30th. And Anna could do the Tawawera Ultra as well. Join up with all the New Zealand followers for a run
Congratulations on a fine run. It is impressive how you record and run at same time. I am 61 years old and trying to get sub 40 for my 10K. I still have a lot of work to get there, but if you can run, record and talk, I can make sub 40.
Here’s a fun challenge for any of you: come over for the Paris - Versailles. It’s 16,3 km but with the infamous côte des Gardes in the middle - 2.2 km long, average 7% incline. The race starts at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, goes along the Seine and then up through the Meudon Forest to finish in front of the Chateau de Versailles. Last Sunday in September. It would be great to see you there. … And then, of course, there is the City to Surf in Sydney, but the travel costs and jet lag aren’t quite the same…
It’s a good event, I did the half this year and have done the 10k twice. Definitely be back and yep, going past castle greyskull is definitely an ugh moment 😂 you should try the Mersey Tunnel 10k that goes under the river.
Nice, still great time, do you reckon if you weren't vlogging you'd have taken much off that? Would be great to do a run & catch a game too, really make the trip over worth it
Well done... I was trying look out for you after my Half Marathon, thought you would of be the front 😔 if I knew you were mingled with the others, I would of gone to the finishing line instead 😫😫
@@liamroche1473 oh it’s not advice! He asked for suggestions for things we would like to see. I would like to see how much he could improve with some ‘proper’ training. Would make a nice series
@@purestilton Just pulling your leg a bit. ;) It would be very interesting for Running Channel viewers. I kind of assume Andy did some pretty good training to run that race (even if he threw his pacing out the window!)
@@liamroche1473I doubt he did much training. I know 36 mins would be a great time for most novices, but it’s super slow for an ex-sub-4 runner. People can usually run 6 mins slower than a PB providing they don’t pile on the pounds. My PB is about 37 mins and I can Comfortably run sub 40 even when I haven’t really trained for a year. I would have thought someone with Andy’s training history and genetics would be able to go a fair bit quicker than 37 mins
@@runningchannel I am currrently training for 5k, but really enjoyed 1k reps followed by 200m reps on the track and would love to get much faster on the short distance myself. Ideally I would 10k & short track improvements concurrently
Talking, holding a camera and only just missing your A goal! Amazing Andy! You passed me at the start like your backside was on fire, I did wish you all the best but you was a man on a mission! Well done.🙌👏👏👏🦸♂️
Good run Andy, I've found the older you get the more training you need to achieve a good performance, you should be proud with your accomplishments, both past and present. I'm 36 in October and did my first competitive 10km last month and got 34:59, wasn't expecting it, but I'm not going to complain. You definitely do get caught up in the atmosphere in the first km.
What challenge would you like to see TRC take on next? 🤔
Hi guys,I'd like to see you guys run up Forest Hill in Llanwrst North Wales part of the Snowdonia half marathon,a 1:7 climb,I just want to see someone run up it👍

Hardest uk marathon/ ultra in Snowdonia

North Downs Run - 30k!
The fact that you did that while recording is very impressive.
Thanks Nicolas! Would you give one of these events a go?
@@runningchannel TBH competitive running or running in large groups has never really appealed to me. Never say never though!
Even more impressive, how'd he open up the bottle cap when his other hand is holding a selfie stick?
Great running as always Andy!! You must expend so much energy recording and talking. Well done 👏
36 : 46 is impressive! 😉
That's me at 1:10 , managed to get a time of 38.49 much better than I expected 😂
Great job Danny! Congrats on breaking your goal!!
Amazing!!! Congratulations Danny! 👏🎉
@@runningchannel thank you 🙏
@@rgh622 cheers, running with lots of people must have pushed me on that bit more
Great time - you looked strong there!
If you hadn't done all that filming you would have had that sub 36:00.
Respect Mr Baddeley 👍- even though its past your pro days, you clearly still keep yourself in a really competitive condition (at least for us non Olympians!).

Oooooo great challenge! Thanks for the suggestion Benn 😁
Well done. Spotted you whilst on my lunch break (around Spring Gardens) but you were definitely in cool down mode!
It's astounding how Andy can run that pace and commentate. I would be so out of breath by the 2nd Km and that pace and would have to stop.
Smashed it, Andy! Love your wife’s cheering words! 🤣
Great run Andy. It's just too easy to get carried away at the start. We still all do it. But to do that time and still record, brilliant.
Andy should go back to the parkrun where he set the world record and see how close he can get to that time
Having run for a few years now I must say I do find those splits just incredible..having said that in your case once an Olympian always an Olympian
And just one other thing…how your HR can be 188 and you are still talking to the camera is just amazing imo…I can’t get to a HR of 188 period!
Great job Andy !!!
It would be really cool to see Andy run a marathon
You still have it, I only dream of a time like that, how about a half marathon next?
Well done Andy! I ran 40:10 5 years ago and still remember how tough that was!
Legend!
Well done!
yes Badders lets do highgate next year together :)
Did the Half (my first) in 2:05:12. Was rather humid, suffered with that esp in the second half.
Well done!

Great way of thinking about it Katy!
@@runningchannel you don't look day over 24!
How about a marathon for Andy - out of his comfort zone 😂 amazing 10k time we’ll out if my reach for sure

Good work Andy. Remember negative splits is the way to go!
If you get a chance, try running the US 15k Championship Gate River Run in Jacksonville, Florida.
London marathon
Way to go Andy! You and the entire TRC team provide so much encouragement.

running 3.40s and had the selfie stick giving full commentary. lol
Amazing. I'm sure you could shave a couple minutes off if you didn't hold that camera
Would the running channel ever do the famous in Atlantic Canada Cabot trail relay race in 2023

At least one of the team qualify for Boston and do it.
I'll be doing the Great Scottish Run half-marathon (my 1st!!!) in October. Can't wait to be back in Scotland after 3 years. 🥰
Good luck Michael! You’ll smash it! 🎉
Needs huge amounts of planning, but come to NZ. Our races are epic. Try Queenstown or Auckland.
Great idea Stephen! We’ll see if we can persuade our producers!
Nearly takes me that long to do a 5km 😭

I struggled massively in the mmm 'Manchester heat'. Had been saying rain all week..so a bit unexpected. Anyway well done Andy, great video
185th! (My viewing position, Andy did better in the race, I am sure).

Probably the most exciting thing to happen at Old Trafford all year 😂

Well in Andy
