I’ve been watching a few of your videos for running advice. Had no idea it was you that helped that guy at the London Marathon. You’re a legend mate. That was a really selfless thing to do and very inspirational.

You helping that guy was mentioned by the commentators when you were finishing in the Valencia marathon (great job, BTW!). And it was also in a book on running I was reading recently. You truly are a legend. I only starting running about 2 years ago and you are a great inspiration. Thanks.

I'm new to Instagram and started following you and your wife. I had no idea you were the guy that helped a runner in need cross the finish line. This video clip still gives me goose bumps to this day. Thank you for sharing your story about mental health and how running has helped, so inspirational!

Hey Matt. Inspirational story of yours and it really resonates with me. *Trigger warning* In 2018 I suffered a catastrophic depressive episode and panic disorder. At my lowest point, I was on my parent's sofa, looking at google maps on my phone to find the best railway line - you know what I'm saying. Running and triathlon have played a huge part in me rescuing my life and recovering. Life isn't perfect and I have really dreadful bouts of anxiety and depression still, but training has given me new hope and it's what I call my middle finger! Me training, getting out of the door and busting my ass to do Ironmans and marathons DESPITE what the demons want me to do, is my middle finger to them. Well done on all your incredible results. I'm going for my first sub-3 in April and I have every intention on being as quick as you one day. All the best!

I never realised it was you helping the guy in London. Watching your videos obliviously 😆 nice!

Thanks for sharing this video. I have struggled with depression and anxiety since my teens. I sought counsling and medication, but the only thing that helped me has been running. Also like you, running has given me mental toughness. I took up running in my early 30s and it has helped me get out of my funk. I still have the bad days, but the connections I made through running with other people make it al worth it. To be honest running has become a great lifeline for me

Wow been watching your channel for a year now and had no idea about this layer of your onion. Makes me even more inspired by you! Great story, really really cool about helping that guy finish, class act of a gentleman!

[InkidLoke]

Well done pal! I would do the same, helping out to those who need and as u said - there will be always another race. I do stressed out, feeling depressed, running on event yet having problems to the finishing line. Wish I meet someone like u in real life... But I'll continue running as it really helps on releasing all the stress I got. Cheers pal! Looking forward to see more of your video here

I’ve been going through the same thing the past 2 years, finally I’ve got back to running which I’ve always loved in the past. I feel a sense of liberation now that I’m back to running. 💕

[antonyjerome]

Inspirational - on so many levels. Thank you for such honesty, integrity, bravery and also your generosity in sharing. You’ve captured wonderfully what running is all about and your message on mental health has made this my favourite YouTube video. I’ve managed to lose five stone in weight through running, a, now in my correct BMI range and feel so much healthier and happier. I still have my down moments, but that’s life. Right - I need to get out for that run.

[SafeMotions]
