Fantastic running as always Naomi! 🎉

Absolutely brilliant proud you got PB Naomi 💪🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ Hope your injury recovers quickly Gareth

Another great film and well run again Naomi - You are just right with the thinking - no that's is not the quickest I am ever going to run in a race - I always believed I could run quicker-in the past - think that was shown when I did my fastest ever half in 1992 when I was 36 ( 74.56 at Lytham St Annes ) I had been doing between 75 and 76 regularly on hilly courses such as Ackworth for many years - everything just clicked on that day - Never say Never !!!

Congrats on the PB Naomi 🎉

Enjoyed that 😊

Great run Naomi,congratulations on your P.B.

Well done! It wasn't fun out there yesterday. Was hoping to pick it up on the last mile but that wind had the better of me

Congrats for a good race in difficult conditions. Hope you get your treadmill and would love to see the type of sessions that you and Gareth would use on it.

congrats Naomi, a PB in tough conditions!

Well done for your pb good luck in Marathon

Congrats on the PB in very tough conditions. Hope the injury gets dealt with soon Gareth. I'm coming back from a calf strain myself and it's so frustrating being injured.

Well done Naomi on your PB. I agree with the wind having done a half marathon yesterday. Plus nought wrong with a vegan winning being a vegan runner myself!

Well done Naomi, you were running with a smile on your face when you passed me on Ledger Way.

Congrats on the PB

Smashed it👊

Great to bump into you both when we were on our way out at Doncaster👍

How many hops do you consider that you need to do before you start pushing on again?

Interesting watch. My left glute has been niggling for a while, it’s okay in training but hinders me slightly racing, think i might do some focused exercises on it with a few more reps on weaker side. Cheers

Great video, Never had any niggles on my right leg always my left leg

Interesting stuff again Gareth - How things have moved on since my day !! - all I did was run and go and work hard in a warehouse - only time I did any leg work - weights , raises etc was when I was recovering from an injury !! I now have arthritis in my right knee which affects my right foot placement. My right leg is the strongest by a long way and I have poor balance on my weaker left . Now I do not run much , I do indoor cycling and walk more and do leg exercises , leg weights etc now to try and get stronger and more balanced - not having much success as my arthritis flares up if I do too much - I hope to carry on running for a few more years yet and I now accepted than my competive days are over

Some of the quieter roads, near to where I live, are a nightmare. The camber is severe and you almost feel as though one leg is shorter than the other. I try to run in the middle of the road when it's quiet or make sure I run back on the opposite side. Keep plugging away Gareth.

I believe it is not for us runners to say whether the holding the marathon will help or hinder the recovery process. In my opinion, this decision should be made by the authorities in Valencia and we should respect that decision, either way. If they decide that holding the marathon will be positive to the recovery process (both from a psychological and a financial perspective) then as runners we should support that decision. I'm not saying my view is correct, but just stating my opinion.

Seen your comments, and have massive respect for you cancelling. I've done the same. Frustrating for many reasons and maybe the situation will improve by 1st December, but ultimately I wasn't sure if the event will come across badly, so it just didn't feel right to go.

How can you even still plan on going. Local 🇪🇸 here….. Obviously condolences to families???? You don’t give a dam do you. I have 6 friends who canceled already including me.

Target Houston mara in Jan?🤩

Same sentiment for Valencia 10k in January you reckon?

I’m in the same boat regarding Valencia. Last 2 weeks of training hasn’t gone great due to a hamstring ‘niggle’ Ethically I feel it shouldn’t go ahead. Also hyrox the week before has been delayed for the reasons you mentioned.

Good to see Naomi is looking for other races - that hard training will pay off for whichever event you manage to get in and great to see Gareth is planning ahead for London in the Spring - Just forget running in Valencia - it's a shocking tragedy and life is more important than running after all

I did not know about the flooding.But he's terrible In thailand they had a lot of flooding.

Hopefully they cancel the race. It doesn't seem appropriate for it to go ahead, especially given the protests directed towards the regional government.

Describing the week as good after what happened is odd. Even posting about if it will be a marathon. Help people instead ?

Might not be correct decision but I think it will go ahead 35000 runners in Valencia be a boast to the local economy. Enjoying your videos Gareth keep at it 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

i dont think it should go ahead , a lot of these so called you tube runners want to do this to get content regardless of the situation for thier viewing , these guys who run much better than me , wld not bother with this event if it was an event for runners like me , it is selfish bragging , i do parkrun in 26.03 at the moment , and i did 55.30 for 10k the other day , so im not in this bracket , i wish more runners like me would post cntent , more than bragging sub 20 5k runners who cry cause they dont think they are good , i personally hope it gets cancelled for all the runners lol

Personally I don't think you should go, regardless if it goes ahead. A lot of the locals are very angry with the way the government just left them to die and suffer. Just imagine the look if the marathon goes ahead with thousands of police officers and medical assistance over the course, but they couldn't give that service to the locals that were left to fend for themselves and you know how many died and how many lost their homes and livelihoods.

Great to hear you are sorting it with the exercises etc - and being sensible cutting your mileage and pace down until you have recovered -- If the Marathon doesn't happen in December for you - A good and steady build up to a Spring one - Keep smiling - from the man who has had a 1,000 injuries and living with Arthritis !!!

Wishing you a speedy recovery! Having been there with Achilles issue about 15 months ago, I immediately got it treated and went to to rehab and came back fitter & stronger winning a GB Masters Gold medal. You will be great when you back to full swing! As a side note, why do so many runners think they know more than professional physios or podiatrists?

If you have Achilles tendinopathy then your physio should have recommended the Alfredson protocol.

Injuries suck. Unfortunately, they are a part of competitive running. Injured my left calf 4 weeks ago (at the end of a race). Started back too soon (after a few days). Did some online research & found this. I am finding it very useful. You might too. Cheers. ruclips.net/video/Nuxd36P-Z8w/видео.html

I’ll be at Darfield next week 👍 Don’t forget the protein.

How many years/ marathons did you do before you got under 3 hours? Do you think its a case of getting the experience and building your fitness?

Good luck with the recovery. Interesting to see the S&C. I'm sure you'll be back on it soon 👌🏼

Keep head up Gareth you are strong and you will be better soon. I'm proud of you and naomi 👏 keep sharing your path and we'll keep following.

You need some pain without medication to allow inflammation. Inflammation Is required to healing.

Hi Gareth, loving the optimism in the video, and you will come back stronger. I’m currently lying on a sun lounger in Tunisia, contemplating the hotel treadmill, but as I’m post a recent bout of COVID ,there is a still a lack of confidence as to where my lungs are at. Plus there’s no sign of a defib anywhere near the gym! The finish line at Valencia for you will seem a lot sweeter for all these current trials buddy. Keep the faith!

You will get there bit by bit - Keep positive - Keep smiling - Injuries are just a part of being a runner- suppose they are even character building in a way - I go back to doing peoples family trees when I get injured !!!

I can relate to saddle soreness. I am on the bike as I come back from calf issue.

I used to think that about cycling but then I got an indoor smart trainer and started using zwift. It’s been a godsend, as I got injured 4 weeks before Yorkshire, and I was able to maintain a decent level of fitness and make the start line.

how would you rate it for difficulty against barnsley or graves? Also, I have to admit, usign the navigation function on the garmin is about 10 or 20m behind - like drivign through leeds with a satnav - tells you what turn you SHOULD have taken 5s ago :D

You don't half bloody moan...it's only running 😅😅😅

Good decision. Nothing to gain by running the race and potentially a lot to lose.
