That moment when Rick realises Anna's crow's flight distance is longer than his total run distance is priceless 😂

🧐 If Andy hadn't intervened Anna would be about 200 yards from St Paul's as the crow flies ! Good luck to you to both on the day

More of this! It's the running channels version of the Top Gear challenges! #teamanna

Loved this challenge. Despite needing to thank Andy for saving her from utter disaster I have to say Anna’s performance here is very impressive. More than 7 miles in an hour with crossings and a crowded market to negotiate is top running.

Hey guys, I'm a deaf marathon runner and love your videos. They are not really accessible for me though due to the horrible automatic subtitles - although in this video they're quite okay. Is there any way you could put the subtitles in the videos? Atm I'm asking friends to translate or guess if the subtitles are not correct but as English is not my native language, reading lips is quite impossible.

Aw Ricks little face when he heard the results 😂 Great challenge guys.

Good to see Andy running again, hopefully he can reset his 5k challenge and finish that series.

“I haven’t seen any puppies...” instant classic. #TeamAnna. Great job both of you!

This is great. Bringing some real fun into running!

Brilliant race. Loved the bantering. Well done.

I had my first 1hour run last September. Interesting approach and I think I can do much more these days.

love it, well done Anna. Love Andy's calm approach to pointing out a slight issue at the start as well haha.

Really cool challenge ! Running with no pacing can be really tricky !

Oh guys. How I wish I could be there. I have my cancer op in 4 weeks so I’ll be recovering. By the time I’m ready to run again it’s going to be back to basics. I’m still running vicariously through you Anna, so in spirit I’ll be running with team Anna. Great channel keep it up guys. Xx

Both look brilliant, strong and fit. Looking forwards to running in the landmarks with Anna as my pacer 👍

Yes, well done Anna. Your love of dogs is relatable as I'm already excited at seeing them lining the Great North Run route in September! 😃

That was great guys, loved it!!! Well done to Anna, Rick, get your scates on bro lol. Good fun.

Fantastic video. Well done Anna, genuinely surprised how fast you are. Maybe I should try adopting the twinkle toes style.

I love that Rick keeps everything simple “north north north” 😂

This was so enjoyable! Strong finish by Anna! Very impressive!

Reminds me of why I choose to run at 0500! I have the roads to myself! Congratulations Anna on the win of an interesting challenge!

Loved this challenge! I'm Team Anna, but it all would have gone pear-shaped if not for the reminder of how the actual challenge worked. LOL

She got a little emotional at the end of her run 🏃‍♀️ #teamanna

That was so fun to watch! Team Anna here, but Team Rick is pretty cool, too. Great job, guys-you’re the best!

This video was AWESOME!!! More of this type of stuff.

I was rooting for Anna and was genuinely happy when she won

Love this. You guys make running fun! Hello from California, USA.

Lol Rick's face when he finds out Anna won. Love you guys! You are awesome.

Flipping loved this! Great idea, great video. I won't be able to join you in London (I'll be in Mexico) but i'll deffo be there in spirit and try to do an hour while I'm away.

I just loved it!!! Another great video!

Loved this! I smiled throughout the whole video. More of this content please 😊

This was great as per usual. I love both of you. That was quite a win for Anna though so I’m worried about Ricks chances. If my name was Rick I’d be tempted to fly over to take his place but sadly I’m a Steve

Go both of you! An hour TT is a great achievable challenge for anyone!

Love it! Clearly I’m with Team Rick..... although Anna didn’t do badly.... apart from doing a loop round St Paul’s. I live in Spain otherwise I’d love to join in. Good luck to both of you in April. Cracking pace(s) through central London, well done.

Took me a minute to get “as the crow flys” as we do not use that term in 🇨🇦 Canada - but I love it! I liked Anna’s original plan of running loops! Go team Anna😉and all the best to Rick!

Funniest Running Channel video so far! Looking forward to Part II

Awesome 👏🏽. I love you guys all the way from Virginia USA 🇺🇸. So want to do this race next year. On my bucket list.

Glad I dont live in London crossing roads is a nightmare walking let alone running!

Rick, maybe you need to cry more whilst you’re running. Seems to work for Anna. Love the channel guys. Keep it up!

We all know Anna is a much faster runner than Rick but I'm trying to rationalise how she beat him by such a big margin. Here are my thoughts. 1. She's a faster runner. 2. She ran a straighter route with fewer stoppages. 3. She ran from west to east so had more of a following wind. 4. She ran from west to east which is also, on average, downhill.

I love this concept. And I am with Anna, but I havent watched yet!

That was awesome 👍 need more of this and in random locations not just London #teamanna 💪🏃‍♀️💨

This is amazing also makes me not want to run in London at all. So many crossings 😂

First of all, brilliant video, guys! Considering the number of unavoidable stops and delays crossing roads etc. regardless of actual routes chosen, impressive pace and straight-line distance covered, well done to both of you (especially Anna!).. Sorry Rick, but you should have realised that heading due North would result in maximizing elevation gain.

This is a really fun challenge. I would join but I'm so far away in Australia.

Elites can run 10-13 miles in an hour, but they are crazy! You guys are awsome!

Rick blame the damn hill :) - It was so steep you starting running backwards. Love the challenge! Will there be a forfeit for the loser?

Really wish I could've been there. I finished my first half last week. And Sincerely thank you to this channel for giving my guidance. Loved all the videos and keep em coming!!!!

It was so exciting to watch u both run with full vigour. Congrats, Anna, on ur win, u re indeed a nice runner.

Nice vid :) I’d have gone to the river, crossed at tower bridge then eastwards along all the big roads. They’re a lot less busy and not many crossings!

Already doing an event this weekend otherwise I'd love to come down and run with my Heroes. Obviously I'd be #TeamRick as I always root for the underdog ;) ;)

Great idea for a challenge and looked like fun. If I was rick I would be asking for a stewards enquiry into that result. Anna would still be running in circles if Andy hadn’t given her a clue 😀 #teamanna

Love it. What's the best that would have been possible? Think I'd have tried to find the river and then run east, taking a shortcut past canary wharf.

No doubt the best You Tube video ever! I came in after a total s#*t day at work and a cold 15K in the dark and this totally turned it all around for me. Thanks Running Channel for reminding us all that running is so much more than training for a race it is supposed to be fun! I only wish I could be there for the challenge (stateside) what fun it will be. Cheers! Oh, Team Anna of course sorry Rick.

This was awesome, I thought I was watching Taskmaster! Good luck in the real thing!

Being chased by Rick would get me running fast as well...... Anna you're hilarious, I wish Andy would have let you run laps for an hour haha! Seriously great effort both of you. This video was so much fun, Nice win Anna :)

Hahahahaha I enjoyed watching the runs very much. Thank you for sharing. You both are winners. :)

This was so much fun to watch! Wish I could hop the pond and run this! Team Anna all the way 💪🏼

The look on Ricks face at the end is priceless 🤣🤣

You two are hilarious!

Team Rick here.. despite I absolutely love Anna

Love it! Would love to be there but I have my first marathon in Manchester. However it’s #teamanna all the way!

When oh when is someone going to hand me a pair of Adidas with a note in them?! size 13 btw ;) love this video!

This was brilliant 😂😂

Nice challenge 😄, I think I’d completely suck at it through lack of sense of direction though. I could do about 6/6.5 miles in the hour but would be lucky to be 3 miles away without Google Maps!

Brilliant, love the challenge and i am up for joining #teamanna on the 5th April, sorry Rick, i am just too worried that you might be wearing the too short shorts again 😀

Great video, you guys make brilliant mile by mile race/out running videos! Team anna everyday of the week and twice on a Sunday! 🏃‍♀️👍

Aww good luck, sadly I have Reading Half marathon on 5th April

I did think "oh Anna, you plum!" when you started off running loops but what a great decision to run east with straighter roads. Go #TeamAnna

😂😂 great fun... Oh the hill rick.. the brain didn’t want that to happen 😂😂

Don't catch a grippe folks! that looks chilly stopping dead in that cold air at 0:00.... what a hoot. Fun fun.

I so love your videos! What a great way to start the morning! I believe in you Rick!

Love the concept. Now to watch it...

This is like Wile E Coyote and Roadrunner where Rick always has his cunning plan

How nice seeing you both together!

Hella entertaining. Subscribing!

Yikes, way more miles than I thought it'd be. Congrats!

Dear Anna just remember that you were about to run infinite loops 100 yards away from the starting point. You only won unfairly thanks to Andy's help !

I just found this channel. It's very interesting! Subscribed!!

I'm doing my third One Hour Challenge in April. One word I will use to describe it is brutal. Towards the end, the final ten minutes is really tough. Mind you, I am going back... I would really recommend it though to anybody considering it. I run alone and often where I run I come across fewer than ten people. To run in a crowd is mind blowing. 7.3 in case you wondered.

Best video so far. Really appreciate that one. Well done all.

I run 1.05 - 1.20 hours every other day. It ranges from 12.5 to 15.5 km distance. Just done four days straight, after a 36 km trail run saturday. I cheer for Anna 😊🍺🍻

That was excellent.

This looked like good old fashion fun. I'm cheering for team Running Channel. Sorry about the hills near the end of the run Rick.

Such a good challenge and great to watch how competitive Anna & Rick got. Kudos on Anna’s distance despite the initial misunderstanding of the rules 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ Keep up the good work.

Great video, what a brilliant challenge 👍

Great race!! Fun to watch! 🙃😚

Enjoying the pronunciation of the brand! :) different in the US., and hey! it wasn't life and death you both won.

St Paul's used to be the mid-point on my one hour runs! I would have crossed the river then headed east - some nice fast, flat, pretty straight roads with the Thames on your left to keep your bearings.

YES #teamanna i knew you'd not let us down!

Well done Anna - awesome pace 👍 Good recovery after your early brain fart 😂 Definitely #teamanna for me

Would love to be a part of this, but I’ll be in Manchester running the marathon on that date. Good luck to all that take part though 🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️

Totes #teamrich - Where would Anna have been with the little tip-off? Still Feeding the Birds on the steps of St.Pauls! X

I gotta go with the underdog. Team Rick all the way. (Sorry Anna)

Loved this challenge, nice work guys.

That was a classic! Anna you started off like a chicken with no head but finished like a soaring eagle, well done. Rick you did ok as well, but mate for part 2 light your ass on fire and MOVE, good luck to both, cheers Enzo.

You guys are great, cheers from italy!

But the army of ricks will beat any other army. Because of dramatic outnumbering! I'm with you, Rick.

Great Challenge and the first for 2020 for The Running Channel. I’m with Team Andy as he ran and supported you both on you’re runs. How were the new runners that you got? Good luck for Part 2 Team Anna and Team Rick 👊👊

#TeamAndy 🤣 Good luck on the run, you guys! I'll be cheering from across the globe 🇵🇭
