If I were running a Half, and someone overtook me whilst they were vlogging, I'd probably cry.

My half marathon pb was 1:15:01 way back in 1988. My last one was 1:41 aged 65 in 2018. Old age catches up with us all in the end.

When I try to run and talk to a GoPro… my mind goes totally blank. All I can say is “oh jeez, oh jeez, oh jeez” so I respect the living hell out of Andy and Anna. How they remember a script, run and recite is beyond me.

I've just completed the Brighton Half marathon. Wanted to complete it in under 2 hours. I achieved 1 hour 57 minutes so happy 😊

I just hit a new PB of 2:10 in training. I don't think I'll be aiming for 90 mins just yet 😂

@peadarr 4 years ago

It's impressive that you can do that and record 10min of footage for video, and then you realise there's probably another thirty minutes that hit the edit room floor

@constanzereutemann6794 4 years ago

Just back from running my first half marathon - 1: 58. 🥳

@harveyshepherd3902 4 years ago

Just finished my local half, A goal was 1:50 and B goal was under 2... made it in 1:55, felt great

Congratulations! I can’t believe you did so great while talking to the camera. Shows what an awesome runner you are thanks for the tips.

I am currently in my taper for the London Marathon. Yesterday, I had my final tune-up race. And after 4-5 years of running, I was finally able to break 1:30 in a half. It took everything I had, but at the end of the race, I actually also ran a 3 minute PR.

I just ran a 1:36 yesterday, ill definitely try out these tips for a sub 90!

@michaellangston5662 4 years ago

I like chasing people down when I race. It's not so easy to do in a virtual race though!

4:31 Andy: "and my heart rate is very high" continues to talk like it's his easy pace 😂😂, Good Job Andy

@yumistargazer2456 4 years ago

So impressive! How can he present the video and run that fast? If he wasn’t speaking he would run a sub 1:20 😄

@urban2153 4 years ago (edited)

Ug, long grass start and long grass finish. Has enough awareness to talk to the camera about training. Looking to run sub 90 myself but not on that course. Well done Andy.

@AAli-vq7mc 4 years ago

Blown away by how calm you are running sub 7 min pace 🤯

Solid tips thanks

@janicegagnon2294 4 years ago

Great run Andy, it’s one thing to run that time, another to be vlogging all those tips !

@stuartthurstan 4 years ago (edited)

Just ran my first 90 minute half a few weeks ago in training. Now that it is again possible to race I really should get myself signed up for one and make it official. I'd like to think that with a bit of race adrenaline I might squeeze another minute or two.

Imagine turning up for your half marathon, feeling ready and strong and then Andy Baddeley comes and stands near you at the start line....nooooooooo! Also ,well done running and making the video at the same time.
