    You’re so humble Andy and it somehow makes a former Olympian seem relatable. That’s due to your humility. Respect and well done.

    Going out there so many years after retiring takes courage as well as humility. You are an inspiration, Andy. Well done on surpassing your goal.

    YES do another one, but focus all of your training for 3 months targeting that race, just to see how much you can improve

      Sorry, it was awful. I’ve no idea what effect they were going for, but late 70’s 8mm look wasn’t great, coupled with an audio mix that veered between unable to hear and blaring background music.

      definitely like it! but please don't use audio from the old cameras - its more noticeable next to the well sounded audio from newer camera. but nice feel especially during the running/warm up bits.

    Probably one of your best videos, very cool and well done. I was putting my toddler to bed and the drum and bass got my heart rate up because that's what I run to.
    Would be cool to see how much you could improve your 1k after one more training block. 1 mile would be great too.

    As a M35 runner I’m incredibly inspired by what you show is possible through consistent training.

  • @plantbaseddietandfitness2677
    @plantbaseddietandfitness2677 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yes, you should definitely keep going Andy, I think there's a lot of runners in our position 40+ that are very inspired to see others in the same age group having success, and I really believe there with enough focus in this area, we can fine tune everything to be competitive ,with athletes in their 30's and late 20's ... things to consider: do add in plyometrics whilst preparing for events to make the muscles more explosive like the younger athletes. Eat a low inflammation diet, like a whole food plant based diet. , keep up your weightlifting, train more.. maybe mix in some elliptical with no handles when your body is sore or strained. and perhaps buy yourself a lactate meter and control your threshold sessions for like.. less than maybe 3.5 mmol lactate... even maybe add in double days like jacob. in that case controlling lactate for 3 or less may be better.
