Have binge-watched all of your videos and it motivated me to sign up to Manchester Marathon 2025 (will also be going for sub-3). Thanks for making these videos so good. They make it feel like we're there living it with you aha

When I ran i remember it just had a section which seemed a lot of gravel they might have changed it or resurfaced it by now as it looked a bit rough. Go with road shoes but yea just be careful on the gravel.

I've had the same issues with lungs in the mornings before especially during the summer if I go out and run, some years it will happen some years it won't. For me it's my hayfever and a bit of asthma, use to have to a take brown inhaler which sorted out the issue temporarily but should get it checked while you have some time off racing incase you plan any races next summer. Saying that great effort on the half, smashed it. Enjoy your break and back stronger 👊🏻

@@TheWu I’ve been wondering about the winter version as in if it’s the same route what shoes would you wear!? As you’d need full on claw spec trail shoes for the off road stuff but there’s also a lot of pavement involved as well. I’m not too good at coping with the heat that you ran in last year (so was lucky on that side of things this year) so am thinking the winter one is a safer bet

That looked like a nice course. Sounds like a good call to recognise where you are and tweak the goal. Just a thought. Do you think you might have had covid? There seems to be a lot of it about and I got a cough last month not thinking much about it but now I’m wondering if it was covid. Definite effect on my (fairly sedate) running when I tested positive 2 years ago.
@TheWu Ай бұрын
Well actually I cut some of the footage of me talking about covid. My wife had been ill on and off a few weeks ago, although we didn’t test for covid she did lose her sense of taste which could suggest it was covid. I was never as ill as her but did have slight symptoms and trained as normal but reduced the sessions and intensity. So yea it was something in my mind but it seems to have been going on for around 2/3 months so not sure.
