Great run guys. That was some fast times for you and Matt. Y’all would have left me in the dust. I completed 8 miles at 56 minutes in my half marathon. Very impressed. Keep strong 💪!!
Great to see you back racing! Still, we need some new music for the race footage part haha! Great video mate, good luck with your season. Hope you stay injury free, bud!
Great run Andy! Under those challenging weather conditions that's an impressive performance! There is a big 10 mile race here in Charlotte, NC each year with a couple of big hills, but mostly flat! I'm hoping to go sub60 this year, but it will require perfect conditions! Thank you for the motivation! Keep pushing!
Great to see you back out racing Andy and a brilliant run in those conditions/course. You must be pleased you’ve held onto some good fitness after the injury. Good luck at Bourton 👍
Great result Andy!!! First race back and your times were fairly consistent throughout the race. The fitness will come back sooner then later. Head up and onward to the next race.
watching the video i started shivering and put on a jacket. When i watch those races in the UK, i sometimes think i am really weak, this weather looked like a two layer, gloves and beani weather to me. So shortly after the injury break you raced incredible well congrats Andy p.s. my morning walk/runs are still at 3 layers, waterproof socks, 2 hoodie 1 beani, buff in front of mouth and nose kind of weather🤣
It’s definitely a 2 layer run on the warm up but I always find once I’m racing I overheat 😂 I was 3 layers, hat and gloves on my morning run this morning though haha! Thank you Thomas
Love the race vlogs, I’ve said it before but there are so many great local races around the UK and brilliant to give some of them a platform! I have the Looe 10miler, dubbed ‘Hillish and Hellish’, this coming weekend.
Thanks mate! Wishing you the best of luck for your race! I’ll be honest, I do enjoy the bigger races but my favourites are smaller club races, you get to catch up with friends, renew rivalries with other runners around your pace range and it’s such a friendly atmosphere…. I’d run smaller club races like this all day long 👌
Nicely done Andy! Especially in that awful weather, must be awesome to be back out there. Great to see Matt doing so well too! So, first race of the year banked and on to the next!!! 😀
Nothing wrong with that run Andy. Best to just put it down as a hard run. Your in the shape that your in and thats that. No point in trying to calculate. Just keep stringing them together. Hilly 10 milers are just a strength run. Matt ran well. Has doing some big miles. But what goes up.must come down as you know with injuries. So best just get another race booked and hopefully weather be better and the pace will be quicker. 👌👌
@@TheFODRunner Thats it Andy you know yourself running is up and down. :) Some good races over u and recover well and get your.miles up 65 75 miles a week for a good 12 weeks you will be in great shape. Not too bad. Raced all last year. Done my first track season at 33 🤣 and had 4 days off in January now im in my 6th week.of good strength training. Running.my.first xc this weekend. Just happens to be a championship race lol and then a 5k road the week after. Didnt really wanna do xc but i will use it as strength n hopefully put a decent first run.on the board in 2022. Something to work.at. :)
Solid as you say. Good marker for Bourton too. It was interesting comparing my Beachley 10K (flat, no real wind) vs another 10K last weekend which was windy and more rolling. Although I ran better at Beachley full stop, I always find it tricky when your mile/K splits are all over the place as they were in the other one. Matt went off like a rocket and seemingly kept going. Looking good for him for a PB marathon attempt in Rotterdam.
Not done it for a couple of years now but that is a tough old course (did all my Mara training round those lanes and up THAT hill) Great time coming back from injury and in the wind 💪
That looked liked a nightmare. Solo run basically, no one to shield you from the gales, and the elevation gain. Very good performance considering. Matt must be in insane shape. But never mind about all that- did you get a jump in subscribers from the SJD shout out???
Yeah from about mile 2 I flew solo until the last mile, was a tough old race! I got a few yes, what a guy, really didn’t have to link to mine and Dans channel, comment of the day was enough! Love him 👌
Quality running Andy after the lay off, I'm sure you always find the race weekends with the worst running weather - either baking hot, pissing it down or windy. Matt looks in ridiculous shape.

Signed up for the 2023 running over Christmas. Should have watched this before deciding to register 😂

Thank you!
@@TheFODRunner you’re welcome!!
I love a FOD Runner race video. So glad you are back racing. Great watch as always buddy
Thanks buddy!
GREAT result!!! Bravo Andy but especially to Matt big big CONGRATS!!!🥇🎉 He continues to amaze us!!
Thanks Bev! Yes Matt is flying at the moment!
Great to see you back racing! Still, we need some new music for the race footage part haha! Great video mate, good luck with your season. Hope you stay injury free, bud!
Haha I love that music, gets me pumped! But I’ll look for some more 😂

Awesome mate really hope you manage it this year, I’m sure you will!
Given how many selfies and autographs you have to sign during the run, this makes your time and result even more impressive!
😂😂 oh shush you ☺️
Great to see you back out racing Andy and a brilliant run in those conditions/course. You must be pleased you’ve held onto some good fitness after the injury. Good luck at Bourton 👍
Thanks so much, yes I can’t complain really, I’ll bank this race and move on and be grateful the calf was ok!
Good on ya!👏👏🥳 Way to Persevere👏👏👏
And Prevail🥳
Great run!
Thanks!
Fantastic love the honesty of these vlogs, yourself and Matt are such strong runners, can't believe Matt is not a member of a club.
Thanks Sean! Matt runs for Swansea harriers 👌
@@TheFODRunner, apologies my mistake
@@seanbolger7371 that’s ok! Swansea have some crazy fast runners, including Matt! They are a formidable team 💪
Great result Andy!!! First race back and your times were fairly consistent throughout the race. The fitness will come back sooner then later. Head up and onward to the next race.
Thanks mate! I can’t wait to feel race sharp again!
Incredible running Andy 🏃🏻♂️🏁👍
Thank you 👌
Inspiring. Brilliant to see after setbacks. Nice one.
Thanks buddy!
Nice....well done, you must be pleased considering the last couple of months Andy 👍
Thanks stuart! Yes nice to line up on a starting line again and get that race buzz!
Cracking race Andy. With the sub 60 with those undulations, those conditions. And not long back from injury. Top stuff
Thanks mate!
Racing in windy weather is hateful. Well done mate.
It horrible isn’t it, worst weather to run in!

Yeah I can appreciate that, the rolling terrain and weather can really play havoc, just hoping next weekend is a bit calmer!

Oh wow mate that would make for an ideal marathon training route, albeit hellish! You’d get some serious strength going up around that loop!

See you in Bourton. I will be in a CLC Striders top. Will try and find you and say hello
Awesome yes please do!
See you at the Bourton 10KM
Awesome see you there 👌
Where were all the other runners? Only saw Matt and a couple of others at the start, otherwise all empty roads. Were they all sheltering behind you 😂
I was the wind break 😂
Quality running Andy after the lay off, I'm sure you always find the race weekends with the worst running weather - either baking hot, pissing it down or windy. Matt looks in ridiculous shape.
Thanks mate! Yeah I think I do 😂😂 Matt is flying, long May it continue 💪
