  I was doing a 100km run on Saturday in North Wales and was talking to a guy at the start about motivation and training and your name came up pretty quickly! No real message, just thought you'd like to know that your influence is reaching a lot of people and giving them a chance to connect with others. Keep it up Mark!

  I was in the last group of men & finished 97th out of 97 people… I wanted to quit so many times (I hate running with a passion) but I kept going. Booked November’s one yesterday with the hope of knocking 30 minutes of my time. Hopefully will see you there 💪🏼

  That text from your kid had me in stitches. Worth it now living under a bridge :) And of course, great effort, even greater result, and an awesome video.

  I'm 45, 6' 2", 290lbs. I found your channel last week and have watched several videos since. My girlfriend, 13 years younger than me, started running a about a year and a half ago. I do walk with her sometimes, but found that I hated walking, it hurt my feet and back and just wasn't pleasant. I half ass the gym a few times a week. But when I watched your videos last weekend, it struck a chord, I went to the local shoe expert store where they scanned my feet for fitting proper shoes and found I have a high arched right foot and am a heel striker, which explained the cause of the discomfort with walking. I now have a proper pair of shoes and a desire to be better. I walked 5 out of 7 days last week for 10 miles total, and plan to keep that up, increasing my distance weekly, and ultimately breaking a 10 minute mile, and further from there. I'm currently at about 16 minutes per mile. At any rate, thank you for the inspiration, love what you're doing, I'll stop rambling now. 😎 Cheers from the USA, Kevin.

  Your videos inspire me so much. &nbsp;My Parkrun PB yesterday was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IsLys31HiU&amp;t=1673">27:53</a>. &nbsp;Today, at a pacer event I obliterated it and came in at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IsLys31HiU&amp;t=1568">26:08</a>. &nbsp;At the 1.5km mark I was thinking to myself, &quot;this is too fast.&quot; &nbsp;But I hunkered in and just kept going, hanging onto the back (about 5 metres away) of the 26 minute pacer. &nbsp;My goal was to get sub 27 minutes. &nbsp;The pacer stopped with 1km to go just before the slight hill, I think he injured himself. &nbsp;But I understood the pace and my watch said 21 something. &nbsp;I got about 200 metres out and looked down at my watch at saw it said 25 something. &nbsp;I was far too gassed to notice what the actual time was, but I thought to myself, &quot;I might be able to get sub 26 here!&quot; &nbsp;So I picked up the pace and absolutely caned it, overtaking about 15 people (my fastest pace recorded at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IsLys31HiU&amp;t=150">2:30</a>/km). &nbsp;I honestly don&apos;t know where I pulled it out from, but my efforts meant that not only did I reach my goal of a sub 27, I absolutely smashed it and nearly got sub 26!<br><br>I wouldn&apos;t have even started running 4 months ago if it wasn&apos;t for you, let alone trying &nbsp;to set PBs. &nbsp;All I want to say is thank you 🙂.

  Crazy to think there&apos;s only a three month span between the first and second Hyrox! You really got after it in this training cycle Mark, cue the Charlie Sheen Navy Seals smash cut!

  So excited to see Jen’s training and progress for Hyrox. As a woman following you for the motivation, jokes and dog content, having some female training content is going to make your channel even more cool! <br>I love how much Jen is screaming &nbsp;at you constantly to ‘run, run, run’. 🤣
