    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  Před rokem

      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  Před rokem +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.

    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 👏👏👏.

  • @danielstevens8827
    @danielstevens8827 Před rokem +1

    Great video Matt. Not the time you wanted but to still run an unbelievable 2:29 after not feeling it from 25k is incredible. Inspirational stuff. 👍🏼

    @jonathanwatkins447 Před rokem +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

    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) 👍
