    Emotional. I always ask one thing. Would I be proud if our son behaved in the same manner that his Dad does for you are the one he looks up to. The answer is always one million percent yes. Your attitude, love, passion and raw openness is unrivalled, and you are the best role model. You inspire many, many people by being you and we are all proud of you always ❤ 🦁

    You and Kelly are killing me with these marathon vlogs 😭 I don't think anyone appreciates how hard a marathon is until they've done it, think you just do a bit of training and run but the mental determination it takes is unreal and the support from familt and friends and even strangers on the course means so much! That 2:22 will be yours 💪

    • @TheWelshRunner
      @TheWelshRunner  Год назад

      Thanks Rosie. The support on the course means everything. I’m proud of my mental resolve and look forward to being in better shape next time and pacing it a bit better. Thanks for your support and glad you enjoyed the video.

    When things don't go to plan, you have issues that early on and you still get sub 2:30 🤯 incredible running Matt!

    • @TheWelshRunner
      @TheWelshRunner  Год назад +6

      Thanks. Yeah I think it shows how far I’ve progressed that I can completely blow up and still run 2:29 but definitely want to get the next one right.

  • @Tonyr2
    @Tonyr2 Год назад +1

    2-29 is a great time Matt. Didn't realise what you'd gone through when i stopped you by the baggage reclaim lorrys. Can I say thanks for doing that selfie even though you were disappointed with your run. Shows the mark of a man when he makes time to do something like this 👏👏👏.

    Matt Rees - Wow, what a vlog - Thank you. I ran it too, my second London and the crowds were unbelievable but my race didn’t go to plan either and I am SO SO with the feelings of this vlog - in all honesty I have just blubbed like a baby - BUT Matt I am going again - that’s it - I WILL achieve my goal and so I strongly believe you will too.
    Thanks for these vlogs I am not sure you understand how much they mean to me (us) 👍

    Bought a tear to my eye 😢. Such an honest performance, thanks for sharing. You must still be happy with a sub 2.5hr time, beat mine by 3hrs but as I tell new runners 26 miles is 26 miles. Well done Matt, you are awesome 👏👏

    • @TheWelshRunner
      @TheWelshRunner  Год назад +1

      100%. We all go through the same things no matter what pace you run. I’m happy with my mental strength to stay out there and keep pushing even in a lot of discomfort.

  • @iancollinge1614
    @iancollinge1614 Год назад +1

    You cannot say you let anyone down ffs, you as well a anyone knows how hard marathons are. You should be so proud of pushing through, I'm sure your family are 👍 that is one of the best running videos I've ever seen... so emotional and raw, absolutely brilliant

  • @brionia9760
    @brionia9760 Год назад +3

    So emotional, well toughed out for a course best. I was running my first marathon in 8 years and even though I took double your time I agree the crowd support was the best ever 🥳, seeing a loved one on the course is ❤️, and .. SORE QUADS 😵‍💫. Rest and recover well, you will be back faster than ever. 💕

  • @herecomesbod
    @herecomesbod Год назад +5

    I hope Kelly has given you a proper telling off for thinking that you could ever let her down! We train for months and expect to peak on one particular day, but it doesn't always work like that. Congrats on the course PB 👋

    @jonathanwatkins447 Год назад +1

    Way to finish strong Matt. Was freaking awesome watching you fight all race. Looksl like you were hurting early so a big fucking congratulations. Like you said marathons are hard. You've had some great ones lately but this one shows how bad you want it. Looking forward to seeing you smash another one in the future

    @Marco10021981 Год назад

    Very emotional while watching your London Marathon Journey 2023 since I were in the same course last week. it's a wonderful experience following you preparing this race and recording the moments during the race. We all know it's not the end and and the marathon is just like our life, the result might not be as we expect, but the most important is how we go through it. Take some good rest and see you on the start line next time.

  • @seanmcfarlane5394
    @seanmcfarlane5394 Год назад +3

    I ran it too on Sunday, I agree that the crowds were immense. Totally deafening at points. I was lucky enough to get GFA and feel so fortunate to be able to do it again. My family watched me for the first time and when I saw them we all go emotional and it really gave me so much more energy. Well done Matt.

    • @TheWelshRunner
      @TheWelshRunner  Год назад +1

      Congratulations Sean. Sounds like you had a great day and well done on the GFA. The crowds were the best I’ve experienced. Hope recovery is going well and thanks for following along.

    I bawled my eyes out during your video. I am old and slow (I run a half in 2:30) but this year I will run London for the first time. It will be my tenth marathon and my fourth Abbot Major and I could relate to every emotion you and your supporters expressed. Thank you for sharing and thank you for the inspiration. Well done, sir.

  • @clarehazell2097

  • @mikehobbs624
    @mikehobbs624 Год назад

    Absolutely loved that Matt! It really captured all the emotions that come with marathon day. And London? Didn't it deliver! On a wet and chilly day the support was incredible! What a privilege to be able to experience it!
    You ran a phenomenal time, it might not be what you were hoping, but take pride in how hard you worked when the going got tough. You will have 2.22 another day.
    I was out there too, after a 4 year layoff, for my 8th London in 3.14.30. The last 4 miles were torture, but I still absolutely loved it and don't mind admitting I shed a few tears at the end.
    Thank you and Kelly for sharing your journey with us. 👍

    What an incredibly inspirational vlog Matt. Thank you.
    I never made it to my marathon this year because of injury 4 weeks out but watching friends and the likes of yourself taking on Manchester, Boston and London has lit a fire in my belly greater than I ever thought for the marathon. Can wait to see you take on that unfinished business 💪🏻 stay strong 👍🏻

    When I used to run a good few runners at the club used to race almost weekly (especially during xc season). Some weeks they would have absolute stinkers, yet others they would run out of their skins. Either way they were happy to do what they enjoyed doing. 👍

    Beautiful video Matt. As a fellow Welsh runner (in his 50s) this touched me deeply. I live in South West France. There are loads of really interesting races here so if you ever want to do one, let me know. My family have a caravan in the garden! The Marathon des Vins de Blaye is happening mid-May - that's amazing (and weird - fancy dress, wine...) and I'm doing it. I also have a Berlin place. Thank you.
