I'm sorry to hear this, mate. It's very inspiring to see so many blind runners out there smashing these runs, though. It must be a real sense of achievement, nothing holiding you back from achieving greatness. I hope one day, too, that with all the advanced research that they can help get your vision back, buddy. The Scottish bagpipes get me every time. Thanks again for your support.

Thanks Ryan! Ah it was exactly what I needed. Seeing you guys at the start and finish! Appreciate all the support 🙏. Well done on Chicago ⭐️✨️🙌

Thanks mate 👍. I really appreciate the support as always 🙏. It was a fantastic day all round 😀 .

I don't think I've ever had such a detailed race comment, you really painted the full picture and let me experience it from your eyes! Thank you for that 😀. I must say scotland street has caught me out a few times, and I would say that it's all about those first few hills. I've went out too hard. You maybe don't think it, but sometimes you get carried away. Especially under rave atmosphere, you get excited lol. Watch my last few GSR vlogs I've been hanging on every time. Going into training for next years half, have a real think about taking it over easy, until you are more or less out of Pollok park. It's those hills between mile 6 and 8 that hurt the most. Especially if you go too hard on the first Mile. Thanks for all the support mate 👍

My man 💪

Yessss my man 💪!! Really appreciate that. The perfect run 🏃‍♂️ 👌 😍

Yeah mate! That makes sense. Really looked like a lot of people were crammed into the green wave for some reason . Again fantastic day out though. Thanks for the support 👍 🙏

Fantastic Alan. It's something to focus on. Good for you mate 👍

Thanks again mate. I really appreciate the support 🙏

Cheers mate! I really appreciate the support 🙏

Cheers Ben. I really appreciate the support as always my man 💪. Yeah it was touch and go for a couple of weeks eh! Glad I made it to the start 🙌

Yeah definitely mate! Have we been doing it wrong all along 🤣. Thanks for the top support as always buddy and great to see you on the day.

Fantastic mate! Yeah I just seen that , gave you a follow back. There should be a link in the vlog description 😀. This has honestly been such an eye-opener for me on how to approach races going forward. A bit like yourself , I've paid the price every year and never learned. Thanks for the support mate it's hugely appreciated 👏

@@runningwithstephen Nice one! yes I'm based in Bearsden. Sent your Whatsapp a wee invite request.

Awesome mate! Added you. Hopefully we could meet up for some WHW trails if you were up for it? At some point 👍

@@runningwithstephen Totally up for it. Let me get 5K under my belt a few times ;-)

Fantastic John! Haha I know the feeling. We had a guy dressed as a bear in front of us and I didn't want to be beaten by him 🤣. Well-done for getting it done though. Takes alot to see past and push through that injury. Hope you're doing well now. 🙌. Thanks for watching 👀 🙏

Yeah I know mate. Last year ot was a week apart and by the looks of it, it's a week apart next year. So I may have another go at it 👀 haha.

Hey Alan , it was last weekend. It had crossed my mind for next year but I may do the great Scottish run.

Thanks mate! I really do appreciate that 🙏. Yeah I felt in absolute control towards the end. Best I've ever felt, to be honest. I think I really learnt alot about myself on this race. It was epic. Thanks again for the support mate

You know John I learnt a very valuable lesson yesterday, about myself. How my body responds to just holiday back , knowing the route and knowing when to kick on properly. Your spot on. It was perfect and it made for such a cracking day because of it. Loved it. Thanks again for the huge support, mate. It really is appreciated 👏

Haha what a catch phrase Simon. I'll use that next year 🤣. Yeah definitely mate. I learnt a very valuable lesson yesterday about myself and how it feels to perfectly execute a race. Rather than getting carried away. Thanks again for all your support mate. It's hugely appreciated 👏.

Thank you so much Liz! Really glad you enjoyed the vlog. I loved making it and lived everything about that day 💪. It was perfect. That's the way, at least you got it over the line 👏👏. Well done. Yeah, it was so nice out on the course, people coming up to mr as well as the spectators shouting. It really was a very humbling experience. I was going to skip next year and have a cracking at G2E again. But a huge part of me just wants to relive that experience. Thanks again for all your support. It's hugely appreciated, always 🙏

@@runningwithstephen it is a great race I just had a bad day... 😂I'm hoping too do the half next year I do love that route and I've Done it twice b4....i run pollok /Bella a lot and the clydeside... Really enjoyed that video... The big bear in front of you at the start is my friend John he was running for autism... 😁x

@lizgreen2936 oh wow! If only I had knew

Thanks Alan! It was such an iconic day. One of the best I've had from start to finish. Yeah they love it so much, zander hung back and ran with Grant. To help him cross the line. Both of them are little super starts. Thanks again for all your support matey 👍. Hopefully we can get another we run in soon. 💪💪

Thanks so much mate 👍. It was an absolute blast and I gained a little bit more knowledge about myself and racing . Thanks again for your continued support mate. It's hugely appreciated 👏

Thanks Ben , it was s fantastic day. One of those runs that everything just goes to plan. I suppose staying sensible plays a huge part in that. It really was one of the best and strongest runs I've ever had. Yeah huge kudos to grant. What a legend for rocking up and getting it done. Thanks again for all the support matey, it's always massively appreciated 👏

I know mate! I can't believe how well it went. The whole run I felt super strong 💪. Mate I really do appreciate that so much 🙏. Thank you for the support 👍. It really goes a long way 😌🙏. Oh and going forward I think this is how I'll run my races, about 30 seconds of pace and gradually build into them. It felt absolutely epic 😎

@runningwithstephen Aye you looked a lot more comfortable than you did last year. I've only got one speed and that is slow. I'm slowly learning to run with a new stride so I do intervals. 1 or 2km max then rest for 60-90 secs. I got round it in 2hrs 15 which I was pleased with as I nearly never made it due to an inflamed bowel. Thankfully that never caused any grief on the day.

@rydo2012 yeah I remember you saying mate. That's fantastic you made it round. Really well done mate. I'd maybe suggest pyramid intervals. Like 200m 400m 600m 800m 600m 400m 200m with 60/90 sec rest for the longer efforts. Well done mate 👍 👏

Thanks mate! I hugely appreciate your support as always. Yesterday was such a good day out. Can't believe how good it was for us both. You smashed it man. Keep up the hard work!

Cheers mate! I really appreciate the support as always 🙏

Cheers matey! Really appreciate the top support 🙌

Thanks Stephen! Aye both of them were super inspired yesterday by our efforts. Zander didn't want his uncle Grant crossing by himself, so he held off, coming with me to run with him. Super thoughtful of him. Everything we go to an event the question is always asked straight after, can we do this next year with you lol. They are in for a shock when they actually can 🤣. Really appreciate the support, all of the time. Thank you.

Hey mate! Ah it really was fantastic to see you on the route. How did your race go?

@@runningwithstephen loved it. Broken today :)

@barryure75 epic mate! Make sure you get on your recovery 💪. I'm feeling remarkable today haha. Might try a wee run tomorrow or Wednesday. To do the recap vlog 💪

Ah, awesome, mate. Yeah it was probably the best race of my life. Loved every minute of it. How was your race? That's a shame about the pipers as they made it such an experience 😎

My run was fine Stephen, it was great running over the normally closed Kingston Bridge looking down to the Clydeside walkway that I run along often, the cheering was particularly loud on the last 1500 metres to the end and in Glasgow Green when I sprinted the last 50 metres, nice medal and T shirt, however, as it was a Scottish Run although held in Glasgow I think the wording on the T shirt should have been Scotland not Glasgow, lovely T shirt nevertheless.

@alanmorr3635 never thought of that mate. Good point! Glad you had a great time

Thanks mate we really appreciate that 👍 🙏.

Haha! Gets you every time doesn't it! Thanks for the support mate. Really appreciate it 🙏 .

What a race mate! Paced perfectly and a strong finish. Vlog out tomorrow probably

Yes!! Thanks mate! Good luck to you too. Hopefully, I'll see you there 👍

Haha! Aye know exactly what you mean with the stubbornness 🤣. We really don't like being told we can't do something, eh? Yeah today is about going out and just trying to enjoy it as much as possible. I'll probably still rock a comfortable 2 hours and I'd be happy with that. Thanks again for all the support 🙏.

Thanks mate! I really appreciate the support as always 🙏

Cheers mate I really appreciate the support as always. The plan for now is just get it over the line with no issues.

Cheers mate! I really appreciate that. I really hope you can make it with no issues. Yeah the Kt helps just that wee bit doesn't it. I'm in the 10:07 green wave as the target was sub 140. Now it's just get it over the line lol. Thanks again fir the support bud. Good luck for tomorrow.

Thanks Alan I really appreciate that 👍 🙏

Ah jeez mate! Yeah the flu will set you back big time and will probably still have a prolonged effect on your breathing and recovery , well into next week. You made the right call mate. Yes, that's totally my plan. Take it easy and just enjoy the run 🏃‍♂️. Thanks again mate , I really appreciate the support buddy. Take care and get well soon 😊.

@@runningwithstephen I was sweating today doing the house work. lol 😂

@RunWithJohn haha!

Let's Go Bro 💪

Yeah that's absolutely the right call. Very same with myself, no pressure take it easy, and hopefully get over the line with no hiccups. Thanks for the support mate. It's hugely appreciated, best of luck to you also mate. 💪💪

Cheers matey. Appreciate that 💯 as always. Just hope I make it for Sunday 💪

Ah top man! Hopefully I see you there 👍. Yeah exactly what I'm doing. I'm just hoping it's fine for Sunday too. It really will be a last minute decision. As it stands my plans are in place. Whether it goes ahead or not will be the question. Yeah, it's a nasty little bugger isn't it? Just gets you when you least expect it. I mean, I was pushing last week on the track, but not to the extent of injury. Best of luck mate. I really do hope we cross paths. Thanks for the support 👍 🙏

Thanks Alan. I really appreciate the well wishes. I sure hope so too. It can be so frustrating. I think it's important to show the good and the bad. Oh wow mate! That's epic. I'm in the green wave 10:07 start. I'm hoping to see the 10ks at some point. So I may be around before it. Very best of luck. Thanks again for the support 👍
