The Welsh Runner

Welcome to The Welsh Runner!

I’m Matt — a sub-elite runner, coach, and creator chasing fast times and sharing what I learn along the way.

On this channel, you’ll find:
• Training insights and race strategies
• Honest tips and lessons I wish I knew when I started
• Gear tests, shoe breakdowns, and performance experiments

My goal is to help you get faster, stay healthier, and love the process.

Most of my training is on Strava, and I’m always happy to chat running or performance.

Thanks for the support—it means the world.

The next video is a review of my 2:24 Valencia Marathon race. How the race went and all the details of race day.

If you have any questions you want answered in the video then please let me know and I will try and cover as much as possible in the video. Thanks.

Feedback Needed!

Thanks for the amazing comments and support I had on my recent Berlin Marathon race vlog. I wanted to reach out and see what people would like to see on my channel going forward?

Did you like/dislike the race footage with commentary?
Do you want to see weekly training vlogs or specific sessions in more depth?
Do you want reviews?
Talking vlogs where I discuss a certain aspect of training?

I am interested in your opinions and will take the feedback onboard.

Thanks,

Matt

The races I had entered for November are cancelled so these bad boys will have to stay in their box. However, if I hit 5K subscribers soon I will roll the dice with another timetrial. 5K for 5K makes sense. Can I go low 15’s?

5K TIMETRIAL GOES LIVE TODAY AT 4PM. Andy ‪@TheFODRunner‬ helped me test my training by pacing and filming on the bike so I have some fantastic footage of my attempt to try and break 16 minutes for 5K. Andy also shares his perspective of the TT going live tomorrow at 7am. Can you guess my time?
