MFU Run Half Marathon 2023 - Thailand Vlog

I'm in the north of Thailand Chiang Rai racing the MFU Run Half Marathon 2023. The course set within the grounds of the Mae Fah Luang University is incredibly scenic, offering breathtaking views. However, it's quite challenging with rolling hills, and the warm climate adds an extra layer of complexity to the race. While it may not be a personal best race for me, the thrill of aiming to secure a...

Road To Sub 3 - Amsterdam Marathon 2023
now going to watch this clip , got your channel by listening to running the red line podcast , have subscribed , im michael from norwich , i mostly do parkruns ( 371 ) , i like to do 10k races in norwich every year , also did one HM in 2019 ,a very average runner , 26 / 27 5k , and 57 -60 10k , watched your amterdam and manchester videos , they were great , keep up the good work , also following you on strava
Great effort mate. Can’t believe you kept that pace for 30k! Are you running Yorkshire this year?
Just a few days ago I found out about the Madrid Rock 'n Roll marathon and during this video I shook my own hand and made a deal to join next years race. Thank you and your brother for the inspiration! Loved the strong endurance, the teaming and the dedication.
Did you find out what was hapening with your lungs? I had a similar issue several years ago and it turned out I had a dormant chest infection
absolutely brutal conditions out there bro. Well done picking yourself out of that 39km slump. You sent it!
Brilliant vlog. Doing my first half marathon in 3 weeks and gunna book the 2025 Manchester marathon 🤞🏼
It must be so annoying running alongside your really fit brother who's just casually chatting to the camera while you're in a fight for your life haha
Haha
One of my favourite places. I particularly like the walk along derwent edge. I usually bike it if I'm going round the reservoirs, the bridge at the slippery stones that was moved from derwent village before it was flooded is a lovely spot too. (At 10 mins)
It’s definitely my fave place to run.
Hey the Wu Qhat if yousat a goal that is sub 3.05 then you have 5 minutes to take it easy and you wont burn out in the end Will...........? Inga DK.
The goal is sub 3 unless something goes really bad in training or leading to the race.
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
Thank you for watching. 🙏🏽
Have loved your videos man. Inspired me to sign up for Manchester 2025. Are you going for sub 3 again next year?
Brilliant to hear. Manchester is a big one! Yes I’ll try sub 3 again hopefully this year.
@@TheWuAwesome, good luck!
The fact the you can run a whole marathon with such a high HR is admirable on itself.
Well I think it was high but probably not exactly what the watch was saying. Just going by perception of effort was the best way to run.
You know something about Christian Eriksen from Denmark ? He had a heart attack but play football in an English club.....YOU KNOW HIM ? He is a very respected athlete. Congrates to your result in Manchester marathon Wu......Inga, DK.
Yes I watched the game when it happened!
i just came here to ask the WU when his next marathon is!
That would be Valencia on Dec 1st!
Hi. Thanks for the video and well done. I'm on vacation in the UK and will run this race on Sunday. I have my trail running shoes and Nike vaporfly with me. Which shoes do you think works best with the surface. The website doesn't say anything about it. Cheers
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.
That was awesome done by you and especially your brother and what a support you got him to do it wauw........congrates. To all three together. Inga DK.
Thanks 🙏🏽
But Wu you do a marathon while you are ill - thats is awesome and so stupid too my friend but you finished and got your medal. Be so proud man....just be proud. Inga DK .
Yea I learnt alot that day.
You did it so good man. Congrates from me Wu. Inga DK.
The wonderfull Wu,
Oh so good to see you have humor my friend - saw Nick Bester cyckle have a triathlon bben cykling from London to Manchester hahaha.... poor Nick. Hey what a race Wu.3.01 is so fine there is room for being better Wu I think you did great and dont give up. Inga DK .
Haha yea thanks 🙏🏽
You can’t take an accurate heart rate from your wrist
Yep I went by effort during it.
Burnout is like an injury in a way. I've been struggling with it for a while now, mostly with work. I hope you enjoy your break and find enjoyment in running again, instead of feeling tons of pressure.
Absolutely it’s something I’ve been researching a lot. Definitely sounds like I tick all the boxes.
Excellent effort!! I bailed out with a DNF at Nagano, Japan two months ago trying to get a sub 3 with similar heart rates in the first 20km. Massive respect with getting it done, best of luck!!
DNF is a hard thing to decide but we have to be smart and make the decisions that’s best for our health. Good look for the future marathons.
Well done Will - have a break, but hopefully not too long! See ya soon I hope x
Cheers Rich.
Thanks William! Spend some quality time with your kids and wife, and you will come back stronger, faster, and more motivated. Enjoy the break, see you when you get back. Cheers!
Thank you Martin 🙏🏽
You really sound running tired and need a break for a while.............wel It was nice to follow you in this video WU. .........Inga.
Thank you for commenting and watching. Appreciate it 🙏🏽
Well done, Will. Definitely need to listen to your body and take the rest you need. Sub-1:30 is still mighty when you're not feeling it.
Thanks. Yea I hope so. I’ll be back better.
Great video Well done
Thanks for commenting appreciated.
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 👊🏻
Thanks, yep I’ve made a request for a doctor to try look into my bloods and possible asthma. I’ll see what they can suggest. 🙏🏽
Love the video's hope you feel better soon might see you in millhouses park 😂
Thanks 🙏🏽 yea will be doing some parkruns for sure!
We’re only human Will☺️Look after yourself. Good luck for Valencia. If the sub-3 has to wait until Manchester, it’d be a fairytale✅
Thanks Andy. Hope it’s going well for you, I saw you mention being injured. I won’t be doing Manchester again. My story ended there on the trilogy unfortunately. Maybe in a few years or something but definitely not next year.
@@TheWu I’ve had a heel pain issue since last November, saw podiatrist and did exercises for 3 months, no real improvement so I’ve gone down the Class IV laser route and cut back my running by 75%. Seems to be improving🙏. Good luck in VLC, you’re so close and it’ll happen. Thousands of runners are backing you😊Hopefully we can meet up one day😊
Have a rest and comeback strong 💪🏻.
💯 🙏🏽
Great video! I ran it last week (2024)……toughest race I’ve ever done! Way harder than the Sheff Half but really enjoyed it. Although it was 18 degrees and overcast not 27 and sunny 🙂
It’s awesome isn’t it. I hope I can do it next year. Just hope the events don’t clash on the same date.
@@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
Mate, sometime away will do you so good. Looking forward to hearing how you’re getting on later in the year. Atb
Thanks I’ll be back for sure 👌🏽
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.
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.
@@TheWu Interesting article "Runners recovered their training load after 3 months " (post covid) www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11054059/#:~:text=COVID%2D19%20has%20had%20significant,%2C%20and%20power%20%5B8%5D.
Was nice to meet you briefly pal. We both had stinking races. Let the body recover and come back mate I enjoy these videos
Thanks 🙏🏽, there’s always next time! Hopefully we both make it a better race next year.
I have been struggling with exactly the same symptoms for a few months now, no luck with the docs and have been suspecting burnout! Hope you feel better for a break 😊
I’ve just made a request for the docs to look into bloods. Not sure if they will or not. How did you fix it? Just rest?
Burnout is no joke as currently experiencing it myself due to an intense contract job that made me not have a break in 2 years and has lead to be quitting a new job 1 week in as just no energy to do anything, only people who have experienced burnout will relate. Have a good one mate.
Yea I’ve never really understood burnout and overtraining before. I’m hoping it is this and I can fix it. It’s definitely new to me this feeling and it’s hard to describe to people as it’s more a general thing over weeks and months.
Take it easy, Will. I'm sure the break will do you good 👍🏻🏃♂️
Thanks mate.
Enjoy the break lad , take care
Cheers 🙏🏽
Well done al the best with your running I doing chester marathon in oct 6done it be for my second one I see your video be for theny are good
Thanks , good luck in Chester!
Well done mate. Hope to see you back at it soon. I think you’re doing the right thing.
Much appreciated man!
I used to get exercise induced asthma at this time of year. Something they sprayed on the crops I think. Get yourself checked out as you don't wany this dragging into marathon training.
Yep just made an online request at the docs to see if I can get bloods checked and I mentioned possible allergy/asthma advice on it. Hope this is just all fine and it’s just overtraining.
Enjoy your break! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thank you, I will 🙏🏽
Get those lungs checked budd, and get some blood work done check all is ok, enjoy some pressure off time. I too have taken the pressure off from running, still 3 days on it but then 3 days at gym doing gymnastic, rings and callisthenics, breath of fresh air and feel stronger for it. ❤❤
Yea I’ve just made a request for a appointment at the docs to hopefully get my bloods checked. Hopefully it’s all good and just down to overtraining.
Have a good break mate! We all need a reset from time to time and for sure you’ll come back stronger and crush those PBs👏🏾 hope all is well with your health too!🙏🏾
Thanks man. I’ll be back 💯
I didnt know much about the derbion ramathon, when i watched it on youtube your video was the first one to come up You are the main reason i did it this year....shame i didnt get to meet ya....defo next time il find ya at the derbion lol Anyways have a good earned break bro👌
That’s great! Makes the videos worth making when someone decides to be inspired.
Have a good break! RSR was again brilliant and no heatwave conditions this year! Was your brother doing the RSR…I think was running with him on the same wave.
Yes I had big fomo! I hope these 2 races don’t clash again next year.
Hi Will. I was the guy in the white vest at about 8:45 outside the Derby ground. Was great to meet you and run alongside you for a short while that day. Enjoy your time off, look forward to seeing you come back stronger than ever 👍🏻
Ah thanks man. Good to share some of the run with you.
Rest well. 😂bet u will sign up something. We always do. Hope u recover fast, take care
Yea haha , well it really depends on how I feel in the next month. If I’m still feeling the same I don’t think running anyway event would be enjoyable to be honest.
