Wasnβt that the most wonderful thing to watch? Amazing runner and humble man, but oh my goodness arenβt all his pacers just fantastic too, a fellowship of runners β€οΈMy 35 minute run today took me to just over 4km π full of a cold, so off to bed. Have a lovely run tomorrow Fab x
Yes most definitely. That support was essential and they all moved as one unit. I imagine there was quite a feeling of responsibility amongst them and they pulled it off to perfection. Amazing to watch. π₯°π Iβll be thinking of that when I do my little bit tomorrow. πβ€οΈ
Sorry about your cold lexi6, I am sure by next Saturday once your cold is over, you will be able to run a 5K in 35 minutes, not 4K like today, get better soon. π
Thanks AlMorr this is my first cold in years, so will have to learn to take it easy, I have downloaded the Strength and Flex podcasts, until I feel like getting outside again π really want a PB next parkrun π
I watched this too - moved to tears by this phenomenal performance and truly remarkable man! How lovely that his wife was there on the finish line with his children (first time for them at one of his runs). And yes, a huge team of the worlds best supporting and celebrating! Wonderful!πͺπππ
Oh I was tearful too Sandra! It was such an amazing thing to watch them so focused on making it happen and it did! Can you imagine the euphoria they must feel? πβ€οΈ
I watched the beginning and finish of this run (doggies needed a walk in the middle) and am not ashamed to say I felt a little choked as he run the last 500mtrs or so. Even though he was clearly going to do it, when he waved his pacemakers away I was shouting at the screen urging him to run faster!! Huge respect to the man, makes my 3.5mph speed seem a little on the insignificant side, but really I was in awe of this amazing feat.
Glad to have witnessed a bit of history in the making.
So he runs three times faster than me and five times my longest length and then glides over the finishing line smiling and not a drop of sweat - massive RESPECT.
Ultimate respect for this man ...I dont get emotional at much, but I was choked watching this piece of history....I love how he is so humble and a family man....a true hero...feel inspired
