Running Commentary, with Julian Berry

8 ай бұрын

21st October 2023. Come with me on one of the UK's most popular trail marathons: The Beachy Head Marathon. with its amazing scenery, and punishing climbs with 1,100m of ascent.
I did it last year as my first marathon and the weather was lovely - this year, as my third marathon, it was not so kind! Thank goodness for the support from my friends at 'Royston Runners', and my Harrier Exmoor jacket!
We go from Eastbourne to Jevington, Lullington and Alfriston, then follow the South Downs Way round to Litlington and Exceat before experiencing the Seven Sisters to Birling Gap, and returning along the dramatic coast!
I'm a middle-aged, leisure runner who enjoys the countryside - why not come along with me as I explore new places and find out about them?
Feel free to follow me on Strava? / strava

Julian, an excellent video. I'm very happy and grateful to have discovered it this evening whilst looking for a UK Marathon to sign up for towards the end of the year! Best wishes from Germany.

Danke! Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It is an excellent trail race - I also did a video in 2022 when it was much warmer!

Thanks feller - maybe I need to run up Clougha Pike a few times to improve my hill fitness! 😆

What a day that was, my 4th time doing that, but by far the worst, congratulations on finishing.

Thanks Marc - so different from last year's balmy introduction to the world of marathon running here!

Oh I'm so glad - I wondered if I needed to apologise for convincing you to take part this year! Dont know if I'll enter - just starting to look at next year's events now..!

Brilliant thank you. I remember running past you (9:43 minutes) Thank you for this! It’s windier and wetter than I remembered!! Love your commentary. What camera do you use? It’s very good.

Aha! How funny - I saw you two coming and made sure I got you in shot, so it's lovely that you spotted yourself! Really pleased you enjoyed the video, I use a GoPro (Hero 7 Black) which I got second-hand from eBay! Waterproof and really good at image stabilising.
