Ran and enjoyed the Big Half. The tunnel and the cobbles were challenge. And I ran out of steam at the end. A good walk up for the Bournemouth half in 5 weeks ;) No idea how people run twice that distance in a decent time. Also love Neil young. Keep up the good work JCX
Great album find! Love that Malkmus experimented with telling straightforward stories on that album ("The Hook" & "Jenny and the Ess-Dog," both great songs).
Heat running sucks! Here in Brisbane our winter failed and conceded to summer far too soon and this weekend we hit 35C... That made Sundays 30k run a bit tough (was 26C when we finished). 17-18C in London sounds relatively acceptable!!!! But yes - you need to adjust to any weather conditions. Good run!!!
Humidity is half of the problem in the UK. While we rarely see very hot temperatures it is wet when it rains (which happens a lot) and it's often like running in soup on a warm dry day with humidity reaching +90% Acclimatising to any kind of weather in the UK is very difficult as conditions are so changeable. Must be difficult running in Australia for most of the year but of real benefit when travelling overseas and running in cooler conditions somewhere.
Well done Ed. I do like your style of producing videos. Thanks for the feedback on the Sky Paris I am thinking of getting a pair for Berlin later this month
Great time in that heat! I also ran the Big Half. It was surreal in the Limehouse tunnel. Like a rythmical foam tribe! Really enjoyed it though, too hot for a PB, but managed to get 1:38
Well done Edd. Managed a PB at a humid Cardiff 10k last Sunday with your recommendation of the Endorphin Pro 3. Only by 6 seconds but I had to dig in extremely deep for that!
Congrats! Running in the heat is a killer. Running in tunnels even worse😂; gps goes crazy and you don’t know where you are! Can’t race with music … motivating in the beginning but when the pain arrives towards the end I feel like chucking the AirPods in the street. Thanks for the recap!
Well done Edd. No 31st GNR for me on Sunday as I’ve fractured my 5th metatarsal. I’ll “run” vicariously through your vlogs for now. Love a bit of Slim, btw 😊
Sometimes conditions aren’t conducive to laying down a fast time. A lack of sleep, forgetting your gels, the heat of course, all add up. At least it wasn’t a sufferfest. Onward!
Hola ED !! Magnifica review de tu carrera !! Vente a vivir a Extremadura y te acostumbrarás,como yo,a correr a 35º...no pasa nada,todo es acostumbrarse !! En cambio,yo a 7º no podria con el dolor de espalda por el fresco !! Tienes mi like!!
I ran it for the first time and got a PB in the half marathon distance - 1:35:50 so finished just behind you! Definitely a hot one! I was a bit disappointed in the lack of spectators away from the tourist spots, a lot of it felt like ‘normal streets’ with people out on their doorsteps - and let’s not mention the Limehouse tunnel 😅😅
Yes did big half, but as you said too hot for PBs so marathon paced effort, as I am training for Berlin and a chance to put alphafly 3s to test, Unfortunately dury’s out for those so 20 Miler needed to see if I still get arch blister
I was there yesterday - that Limehouse Tunnel is so humid and the 7% gradient to get out of it not ideal. The heat finished off my PB chances. Much quicker courses are London Landmarks and the totally rocking Hackney Half
Congratulations 🎉🎉 I did it in 2 hrs exactly. I usually do a half marathon in 1:45 ish but I had a bit of a handicap this time. I started at 08:50. It was warm yes but there were good showers spread around the course. The only complaints I have is that the foreigners had to queue up for over two hours to collect the start number pack at Marathon house the day before. That is not what you want the day before. There was just kaos there. Badly organised and not enough people working there. Nothing you need after flying in early morning. I will complain somewhere. What good it will do I don’t know!
I love training and racing in cold days too. The sad part is that I live in Brazil, though. Lol. From now to May 2025, we'll get 32 cesius or more for maybe 75% to 80% of the afternoons in my town, which is the time of the day I typically train. It sucks so bad and I never seem to get used to it.
Congratulations, Edd!! You ran very strong on such a very hot/humid day!!🙂💪🏃🏻♂️👟👏👏👏 BTW:Going to check out the artist, Malkmus, the music seems very enticing to me. Thanks for mentioning him.🙂
Nice one! Run a half marathon in my long run for the first time in months since I live in Greece and was literally the first run with a temperature below 30 since June or so😅also had my first nasty fall as a runner. Spoiler alert -I survived and in good enough shape to keep training.
It's the same for me - every increase in temperature hurts somehow. Just like altitude with my almost 100 kg.🫣 😅 But the kilometers you've run now will really pay off in the fall. 🏃🏼♂️👊🏼
Btw, have you ever done any content on Strava fitness or Garmin/Whoop… Sometimes seems like the numbers are random😂. It’d be interesting to get viewers stats to compare…
Congrats Edd! Yea it's been tough here in NYC too with the humidity recently. Looks like metaspeed edge! - take that back the sky!..you thinking AF3 for Manchester Marathon? Also, how many miles you got with the sky's?
@@EDDBUDugh! And I love the shoe - will have to think twice about buying a second pair considering I have put on many more miles than that on my pro 3's and the outsoles are just fine.
Well done Edd. 🎉🎉🎉 Glad that you managed your race so well with those conditions and smashed it. 👏 Do you think the cramp could be attributed to nutrition or electrolytes? Looking forward to the next race. 😎👏
Forgetting stuff before a race can really upset your plans. I'm doing a half next weekend, but I will almost certainly ruin it with the swimming and bike riding bit beforehand. But the organisers are insisting on it. Hopefully I will not forget anything, particularly the swim suit.
Great work Ed! What mileage did you get from the Paris? Oh, and I found a flaw in the Superblast 2! Run home last night, it poured down and they retained a fair bit of water. That's basically it.
Well done Ed, will you fully retire the shoe or is it race retired? As in will you keep it for workouts or training efforts? What sort of mileage did you get out of it?
@@EDDBUD Baking but I've been lucky to say it was my first race in that heat! Was helping a gent with severe cramp who had collapsed at the finish line, was a bit disappointed in the first aid response on hand who asked me to just leave him to walk it off - in that heat could have been serious but managed to get him into shade after 10 mins or so
I’m tempted to save my sky Paris’ for the Chicago marathon, how many miles have you put on them before retirement? I’d like to use mine for some training this month, but don’t to risk wearing them out before Chicago and Valencia.
@@markoljustina I’ve done a few 10k races and am planning on using them for a half marathon in 3 weeks, that will have them fully broken in, and still well short of Edd’s 120k veterans!
@@markoljustina I think the half is a necessary test, not sure whether they’re comfortable enough for long stuff yet, as the 2 marathons I’ve done have been in Alphafly 1s, which are much bouncier!

Great run in the heat. It has a huge effect. Interesting you experienced some quad issue during the run as I've experienced this myself using the Metaspeed Sky Paris which was a first for me. I'm curious if other runners have issues in this area after running in the Sky Paris. The reason I ask is that Honami Maeda who is the Japanese Women's National Record holder and Asics athlete suffered a stress fracture to her right femur just prior to the Olympics so had to withdraw.

👏🏻
Great to meet you before the race - I'm the guy who warned you about the cobbles! Well done.
Thanks Marc! I was on the lookout for those!
Not too shabby at all Edd, congrats , excellent time , recover well .
Great album find! Love that Malkmus experimented with telling straightforward stories on that album ("The Hook" & "Jenny and the Ess-Dog," both great songs).
Yeah the hook is blooming ace!
Congratulations, you did it. Like to EDDBUD. Happy monday.
Sadly I didn’t hit my goal. But it was just too warm for me to push any further
Well done Ed...I liked your phrase; ...surrounded by of a bunch of people with packing foam on their feet!
It certainly sounded like that out there. 🤣👍🏼
Congratulations Edd 🎉❤
It wasn’t the best run but a strong effort considering the conditions.
@@EDDBUD strong effort, good times. I celebrate that we still can do it after 40

Such a great record. Church on White’s guitar solo is damn near perfect. Great emotive playing. Love him!
Yes that song is amazing. Lovely melody and perfect mix of joy and despair. The tone on the solo.
Nice one Ed - hope you bounce back into your winter block - let us know your next race 😊
Great job in the heat Edd! Fast finishes are fantastic!
Thanks 👍
Excellent finish time and even better in humid heat. My marathon PB was in a chilly rainy Boston so corroborating the weather factor. I wilt in heat.
Same here. Love the cooler temps and light rain.
Nice one Ed.I did Cheltenham Half on the 1st - same experience with the humidity,but enjoyable
Congratulations Edd!🎉

I love me the cold weather. It’s so refreshing!
Great effort for a summer half. In my area of the US they don’t hold races that long from May thru September cause of the heat.
Nice one Edd. Think I may give it a crack next summer (and pray for rain) 👍

Wilne 10k at the weekend for me and suprised myself with a 36 minute efforts. The race shoes of choice are still Vaporfly V1's.
Very strong racing given the conditions! 💪🎉🏅
I had a dizzy spell going over Tower Bridge once.
Great job, Ed! Slim Whitman isn’t an artist heard very often these days. He was one of my grandmother’s favorite singers.

Good luck for the next one!
Thanks! You too!
Congrats on a great time on a hot course Ed!
Thanks!
Well done sir 🥂

Great Job Ed !!!
Thanks!
Great north run this weekend for me. It's very humid atm which isn't great.
Saucony pro 4 is my choice for the race.
Have a super race!
Good solid effort on a warm day that pal!
It was easy to run it without any major effort. Even that pace was hard on the day
Congrats! Thx for sharing your experience!
Thanks for watching!
Love those sub zero shades! I run in the same pair.
Congratulations Ed. You did awesome. I have heard the Metaspeed Sky durability is very low vs other supershoes
ASICS, great job on the Sky and Edge Paris range, next version please improve durability and make it more wide foot friendly, thank you please 🙏
Good hustle Edd
Congrats! I managed a PB of 1:35:14 but was absolutely cooked for the rest of the day! Worth it now, but that heat was brutal.
I was tempted to dive into a fountain or two on the way back!

Certianly a hydration issue I think with the quad. Went away after I stretched it which was nice!
