Big love. The Maguires.x
The way in which you have filmed and documented this experience has been something that a top quality TV production company would produce. Hats off to both of you for a fantastic set of videos culminating with this brilliant one!
That's a lovely compliment! Thanks so much.❤️
Congratulations team! So happy for you Laura, that was so well deserved and you have shown that running truly is for everyone and you can achieve anything you put your mind to. I really am looking forward to seeing the next series…… when you take on the London Marathon! 😉
Really nice piece of work too Andy! 👍
Nice one mate - it was such a big achievement and I'm just so made up for Laura that it went so well. I've asked her if a marathon is on the horizon, and she hasn't ruled it out!👊🏻
Brilliant series....we loved it...especially being mentioned 😂. Thank you so much! Loved Laura's honesty throughout. We're so happy for her. And a great idea for the final video - top job buddy. Catch you out on those mean streets again soon 🤣👍
Seeing you guys was massive for us and such a lovely suprise. Keep doing what you do - spreading love and joy to the world.x
Well done Laura , great effort from you , amazing job, i am doing my half marathon in November - greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
All the best for your half! She did so well ❤️
Oh you Laura you smashed it! I was an sobbing mess by the end, what an amazing journey that video was. Your strength and determination to get over that finish line was incredible, it just goes to show that you can do hard things. Amazing work you guys.
Thanks Daniel, I'm such a proud husband!
Well done on completing the half marathon distance, great achievement! It looks like the great north is a good race for a first run
Cheers Rick, it certainly is a massive deal. Such a great race to do for a first timer!
Well done! Such an achievement and you should be so proud 🎉
Thanks Natasha, she's a rock star 👊🏻
Well done you Laura. And thumbs up to Andy for being such a supportive companion :)
Thanks - it's been an amazing process to witness.❤️
Oh you both smashed it! I was sobbing by the end... Laura your strength amd determination got you over that line... along with your amazing hubby. I'm in awe of you.. just goes to show that you can do hard things... brilliant!!x
Oh Hayley that's amazing of you to say. I'm in awe of Laura, she's worked so hard and I'm glad it all went so well for her on race day!x
Congrats on your race! Well done. Awesome work
Thank you, she did so well. Such a proud husband!
Amazing well done. It was very hard this year with the heat. Hope you do it next year to 😊
It was tough wasn't it! I'm already signed up, I think Laura will wait a few years before doing it again 👍🏻
Amazing video and huge congratulations on what was the toughest run I think I've ever done. So glad you finished before the storm arrived! Really well done x
Well done to yourself, it was a memorable one for many reasons!
Congrats Laura, well done 🎉
Thanks so much, so proud of my wife!
Incredible work Laura (and Andy!) You smashed the course and should be totally amazed by your hard work! Here’s to the future races ahead! Well done!
Cheers mate - so proud of Laura!
Wow, awesome job Laura !!!! I really enjoyed this series. Great job to Andy too for his support for you. Can't wait to see your next race !!
Thanks Joe! I'll put her in for Ldn and I bet her name gets drawn 🤣
@@itsonandy Probably Andy lol
Amazing video - well done Laura, what an inspiring watch! Tears of happiness for you - I know how good it feels to cross that finish line when you’ve given your all. HM is a fab distance and a big challenge.🙂👏👏🏅💪
Thanks! I'm such a proud husband!❤️
Awesome, what a team, well done!
Thanks Lara!x
Amazing video, well done Laura!!! So happy for you that you got to experience such a fab race and accomplished so much! 🎉
Thanks Kat! ❤️
Fantastic. Well done Laura. I genuinely believe that is one of the most difficult half marathons you could have attempted as your first because of all the waiting around in the heat at the start. 2 years ago we were given a time to join our wave on Town Moor and were quickly heading to the start with no hanging around, this year was awful. I've really enjoyed this series (kudos on the top quality production Andy) and really hope you're going to keep going - you have a half marathon PB to beat now!
Thanks so much for watching along! Yes it was very tough - mentally and physically but I'm glad she didn't do a half where she was at the very back, and worrying if she'd finish before everyone packs up to go home. I'm so glad she was in good company with so many runners the whole way! Such a good race, I'm gonna have a good proper go at it next year!
Amazing! I remember both of my first halves (one road and one trail - it's a different beast!) very fondly. Loved the series!
Thanks for watching along Marcus!
Congratulations - took me 3hrs48 mins - i was 2 miles from the finish when that rain hit! - well done!
Oh wow Michael that must have been brutal. How on earth you ran through that is amazing, I'm sure the atmosphere on the course was amazing!
It was great, even at that pace, although with the flooding it was mostly walking at that point 🤣@@itsonandy
Congratulations Laura, well done! You made an awesome memory. Great videography and lighting on the recap too.
Thank you Joe!
So happy for you! I ran this years gnr and can relate so much to what you've said in this video. The heat was overwhelming for pretty much everyone and those last 3 miles were so rough for me being my first half marathon lol. I relate to your story and I too cried like a baby at the finish line. I think that people who have never ran that far before won't understand how hard its is and how relieving it is. Well done Laura and Andy!!! And good luck Andy for your half marathon PB 🤞🤞 Great Video!
Well done, it's such a legend of a race isn't it, and you totally get the hype when you arrive. Thanks so much for watching along ❤️
That was such an amazing journey to watch and relate to as well! I'm currently training for my third half marathon, and I still struggle the same well you did Laura! That was fantastic, and amazing, and truly such a thing of beauty to watch. Thank you for sharing your journey - as a woman runner it's nice to see other women going through this journey as well! Many congratulations!!! 🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏
That's such a lovely comment, it's very inspiring to hear that your doing your third half - I hope it goes really well for you! Laura has done amazingly well these last few months and I'm just so glad she's happy and enjoying her running!❤️
@@itsonandyit's great to hear she's enjoying running! Your support and helping to motivate her - it reminds me of my hubby doing the same thing. Your support to her means more than you can imagine! Thank you for the luck and support - will definitely let you guys know how it goes!
Brilliant video Andy. Well done Laura, you were absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏
Cheers Kev, thanks so much for your support and for watching!
This is so brilliant and really well made! Well done both of you.
It do reminds me of my first ever half marathon last summer. I hit 14km and then told someone that was the furthest I’d ever run.
I felt great!
Shortly after, the wheels fell off 😂😂
Thanks Conrad, I think that's something all of us can relate to, wheels flying away down the road in the opposite direction. Thanks so much for support and great comments.❤️
Oh, that was lovely! Very many congratulations! 👏
Amazing well done 👏, in that heat 👏
It was brutally hot at the start!!
Amazing Laura,made me quite emotional,got mine to come in Manchester next month..both my parents have passed away and i'll be thinking of them when it gets tough and ye i think I'll be crying when i finish too..we CAN do hard things..well done x x
Omg Jill that's so sad. Will be thinking of you!! Mcr half is a great run, and I'm sure it'll be an emotional, but amazing day for you.x
Congratulations! 🎉 I've enjoyed following your story- thank you for sharing! I also did my first GNR this year so it was good to see I'm not the only one with highs and lows in training!
The weather at the end was awful 😂
Thanks so much Hazel, and absolutely - the highs and lows of training are what make the racedays so much fun, as you never know what will happen. Thanks so much for watching along.x
Amazing Laura! This was my first half and GNR too, Left the flat at 8:30 and didn't get back til 8:30. Was on my feet that whole time! Still absolutely loved the experience. Congratulations !
It's an unforgiving day isn't it! Well done Darren 👍🏻
Fantastic running - huge congrats 🤟🤟🤟
Cheers Steve! All the best with Amsterdam prep.❤️
Congratulations again Laura ☺️👈 we all knew you could do it, and you did it, and this video shows it all, thanks for sharing ☺️ And a thumbs up to the trainer 👍Andy😉
Thanks Richard! Laura did the hard work, and I'm a really proud husband.x
Well done Laura and Andy - really good watch :)
Cheers James! We watched a few of your videos along the way for inspiration.x
Nice one :)
Well done Laura 👏 what an epic but long day. So glad all the hard work paid off 💪 well done to the coach and production team as well 😉 👏
Cheers boss. Mammoth day - and an unforgettable day. So pleased we got it done together ❤️
Superb work, Laura!
Feeling niggles early on that turn into pain is never a good time. Combine that with the vast distance ahead and the mental challenge can seem insurmountable.
But you did it, battling the lows and owning the highs. Maguires truly do love a sprint finish!
Jaz and I have loved watching this series and we’re excited to hear what’s next - whenever you’re ready, of course!
Thanks for the video. I’ve not seen the Great North Run’s scale captured this well. It truly is a massive event!
Thanks so much for watching along, GNR could be a potential one for the Ashworths one day... Such a great day out ❤️
Amazing effort and great series of videos. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching!
Congratulations, this year was my first GNR and half marathon and I have felt all the training challenges you have. However we have do it this year. Well done
Thanks for watching along Lee!
Wow....Firstly Laura a massive well done you smashed it! You showed yourself and others that hard things and challenges are there to done. That emotion you speak of at the end of the race.....I got it just watching this. Incredible!! For me it brings back so many memories of times I've done exactly the same. Secondly ....What an epic way to tell the story Andy and the Journey, very inspiring and captured the whole event and experience. Thirdly ..... That rain was absolutely crazy...haha!! Well done again, onto the next?
Thanks mate! It such a big deal isn't it, and those who get it, really get it. Laura's probably going to focus on shorter stuff over winter and maybe another biggun next year!
Well done, amazing effort !
Thanks so much, she's a rock star ❤️
Absolutely f’in amazing Laura. You truly are an inspiration to many people including myself and Julie. Loads of hugs and kisses you super star 🥇
Nice one mucka - you two are amazing and inspiring just as much. So glad to see you Sunday, you both looked so happy and good news... You've made it onto the vlog!
@@itsonandy thanks mate that means a lot 💙 we’ll never be super runners but we enjoy what we do and achieve for 2 old fatties 🤣🤣. we may have looked happy but trust me it was hiding the pain. Your Laura is amazing mate. She’s inspired us to train and do our first 1/2 marathon next year. She should be proud of herself. She’s our super hero 🦸♀️
The quality of this video ....top notch work!
Thanks so much mate, only way we could really tell the story of the day!
Well that made me cry. Absolutely fantastic watching the journey. Good on you Laura. 😅
Nice one Neil, it's been a great journey and I'm glad that some happy tears have been shed! All the best mate and thanks for the support!
Amazing!
She did so well, so proud 👏🏻
Well done Laura I've loved watching your journey so sorry it rained at the end for u both
Thanks for watching along!x
@@itsonandy loved it do more videos with Laura and she is an average runner like me and most other runners 😁
Fantastic running, well done! Also loving the interview style of video!
Nice one Matty! Maybe I'll keep the format in mind for future videos.👊🏻
Great Race Laura 💪 Cool video 👍
Thanks so much, mega proud of my wife.❤️
What an achievement, congrats🎉
Thank you!
That sun was brutal. I was in no shade what so ever and felt absolutely sick when i started after 1hr 10 mins. Felt dreadful going over tyne bridge. Luckily i picked up as i had a load of salt tabs and gel with me
Well done Joanne, it was a really tough day!
Congrats! Incredible achievement.
Thank you, David!
Congrats on your victory young lady 🙂...well made vlog
Thanks Gary 👊🏻
What a great video capturing the atmosphere of the day! I finished about 10 minutes ahead of you & also got drenched. Question is.... will you be back next year?
Nice one Geoff, and very well done to you. I haven't got my membership yet but I need to as otherwise I'll probably miss out!
Well done fantastic effort 👍
Thanks so much Michael - so proud of Laura!❤️
The rain at the end made it totally worth the mental game of not quitting well worth it, right? 😂
Absolutely!!! Can't imagine getting caught out in that weather, that would have been tough to take!
Well done but u need to do a lot more running training I have done half marathon without stopping but it's really tough and hard work but I hve had loads of training runs u also need a really professional pair of running trainers
Thanks Mark, not sure if you saw the previous 4 episodes? Have a look - it explains everything. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
