Don’t be too hard on yourself, Copenhagen week before, young family and 4th out of 20, 000, massive respect 👏👏👏

[wlgblitzzgoty]

Mate are u crazy 😂 u literally ran a whole damn marathon, had a new kid, then decided to run a half marathon a week later man 4th is beautiful

[robbristle]

Are you kidding me? 4th place is AWESOME.

1 week after a marathon, and with a newborn, you did already more than expected. I also have a newborn, and the intermittent sleep and energy you put into taking care of the baby is not to be underestimated. So well done!

A 2:34 Marathon ( in the heat) including the fatigue of travel last weekend, I'd say that was a factor, great effort 👏

[gary_runs]

Great running Nick 💪🏼4th after Copenhagen 'only' the week before is brilliant! Hearing your breathing so early on, and you still grinded it out! 🙌🏼
Another great video and always an inspiration!
Keep up the great work champ! 💯🔵⚪️

[pexmar]

Thank you for teaching us the race from within.
Those really fresh legs shouldn't be after a marathon, but you've had a great run.
Congratulations.

[garyflynn]

Well done for the fourth place, especially after running Copenhagen a week ago

[FreeLancerLondon]

You did amazing. Fantastic run on a hot day straight after a tough marathon. Great running and excellent shots of Hackney in the sunshine. Well done 👍

[patriciapemberton]

I was one of the ones still to start when you finished 😂

[jonathanwatkins]

Love the emotions as always. I know it's not what you wanted but you know the deal 😂. I loved the view from the camera. Thanks for recording. You will be missed at comrades. Enjoy your rest and well deserved boet.

[ricklee]

Amazing you are capturing video while suffering!! Thanks for sharing the video & your energy is inffectious! Nothing like a cold beer after a race .. ! I ran a 1:20:09 at the Brooklyn Half .. 9:00 am, a pint of Brooklyn Larger!!

[ukmattj]

Being able to manage your breathing like that over that distance is really inspiring. Sounds odd writing that but it’s motivating hearing that deep breathing from early, knowing your threshold and what your body is capable of. All about the training. Well in my bro 💪🏻

[iomenicola]

Well done Nick, still. Nothing but respect. I'm chasing a sub 1h25 half marathon and a sub 3 marathon. See you in Berlin, we're going to get it! Shakalaka boom boom baby.
