This guy got me though Lockdown and started me on my running journey!!! His paced 5k runs are the stuff of legend. What a great surprise to see him back.
@@Rich_N_Rach I am indeed my friend. First marathon in 14 days. You got this 53 year old motoring my man. Hope you’ve a few more vids in you. Keep well Richard.
Yaaay! So happy to see you back on TH-cam!! Welcome back! I just ran a half marathon too (at a much different pace 😊). I always finish my half marathons feeling like I could have gone faster. Is there a good benchmark for choosing a half marathon pace? I’ve also wondered if there is any way to avoid the aching and cramping after mile 10, but I guess not 😂.
Im not gunna lie, i would have probably struggled to cycle next to you 😂😂 Great running. Looking fit, looking happy and thats the best we can hope for 👌 Keep at it, great vid.
I was there and did my very first HM (been running for 6 months now). Definitely have seen your name before on Strava segment leaderboards around the Twente area. Legend. 👍
Saw you on STrava! I was like..."nice race!" Then watched your vid anddddd WHATTT???? "How can he catch a gatorade cup at this speed???"... Definitely time for me to stop keeping up with the Kardashians but with R. Murray!

Great to see a new video. You still look so comfortable running at speed most of us can only dream of. Well done. Looking forward to more content.
thanks . I’m getting older now but still trying haha - 35 going strong post heart ablation 🤣
Ye it’s crazy.. I tried to run a sub 3 min km but I couldn’t even get up to that speed nor hold it for a sec. I got a 3:08 min km.
Excellent Richard! Very good pace. Good that you are back on youtube. I missed it. :)

Thanks 👍 mate
Amazing to see you back Richard, congrats on a great half time with what you describe as untrained!
thanks alistar 👍
Good 👍
Thanks !
What a scenic route. You should race the athlete special who is training for a half marathon.
Yes it’s an amazing countryside here in Twente Netherlands .
Not sure what you mean re athlete special though ?
@@Rich_N_Rach he has a you tube channel..used to be a Brooks sponsored athlete. Training for his first half.
6:05 is that the same road you did your 10k pb on a few years ago ?
naa but like 4km away hey
That looks easy for you.
was not that easy but a good tempo 👍👍 hopefully sub 1:05 in future
Super! Inmiddels klaar met ttn3?? 😅
Heelhaas niet . Hopelijk over de winter 👍
What do you mean specifacly with unpreapared? Not prepared how you used to do it or just came of the couch after a whole year not training?
I didn’t prepare for a half marathon : Hence didn’t do 70-120k run weeks , hence didn’t prepare for it .
Heel sterk gelopen! Wat was je voeding voorafgaand aan de wedstrijd? Nog iets speciaals in de week van tevoren?
Meet heel veel . Taper van de WK Xterra i. Italia de week tevoren -
3 gels seems like overkill for a half
I’m 73/4kg need around 40-60 grams per 1H and the gels are iso so not very sweet compared to others . Works well for me 👍 Most people under fuel ⛽️
Did you start a shoe store? 😊
not yet 🤣👍
missed yuh! Nice hit out....
💪💪💪👍👍👍
Hills in Holland? Don't be daft.
Limburg ;-) and we live in the east which has foothills … your welcome
