It's impossible not to enjoy your videos and learn from them Nick. If you ever question your impact, just listen to all of those people shouting you on. Love your content!

0:35 Why was my guy running like that 🤣🤣

[jacksonm.]

As a middle of the pack runner, I'm so much more grateful that I spend the majority of races surrounded by lots of other runners. This perspective makes it seem so lonely up ahead. So sad that the surge you did in the tunnel to try catch up with and run alongside that group had an impact on your time. Loved the stats overlay during the race. This is different from others who hold some GoPro and point it at their faces while commenting about the run. Your method is much better.

Great video and footage Nick!
Not all races go to plan, but you gave it your all when you weren't having a good day. You're smashing those big training miles, you will smash Berlin.

Excellent performance! I cannot believe that this is a part of the road to Berlin Marathon. I am 100% confident that you will achieve sub 2:20 in a month. Good luck & your stories (strava, youtube) are so inspiring to all of us!

I'm rooting for you to Berlin!

Great stuff... so that's what it looked like up the front. Well done sir. I was there. It's my favourite of my race season. I ran in my full army pack. If you cheered me as we went around then thank you so much.

Awesome video as always. I was doing my second Big Half and it was tough in the heat: I was seeing stars the last few km but got a new PB. So thankful to everyone involved!
