FORCING My Boyfriend To Run His First Ever Parkrun In Embarrassing Halloween Costumes!

Рет қаралды 27,986

Жыл бұрын

It's Halloween weekend.. so running the local parkrun dressed as an inflatable pumpkin and forcing my boyfriend to come with me seemed the obvious thing to do. Daniel is not a runner, so forcing this non-runner into his first ever parkrun was kind of a big deal.. aside from the fact I also surprised him with his very own embarrassing Halloween costume so we both looked ridiculous. Ever thought about running a parkrun or race in fancy dress? Find out how much it slowed us down... and whether Daniel and I would still be together by the end of it!

Late to the party here, but been consuming all of your content as I JUST started training to run a 5k/10k/half and eventually a full next year.

Watch out Phily - first Daniel starts sharing the driving, now the running, you'll have to rename the channel soon 😉 In all seriousness, huge respect to Daniel for doing his first parkrun in fancy dress, without being prepared for it! That really is the parkrun spirit, and to get sub-30 (unofficially) as a first go would be amazing even without the sheet that looked like it was very hard to breathe through!

Daniel being a) willing and b) able to run his first parkrun as a ghost accompanying a balloon-pumpkin scores him major points in my book! Laughed at that woman who said "I heard you!" as you passed by - that costume was NOT designed for sneaking around in, clearly 😂Daniel must have enjoyed editing this video at least - the revelation that you were legitimately being slapped in the mouth the entire time by your costume must have made his suffering a little more bearable 😁 Sub-30 for your first ever parkrun is mega though, Daniel, congratulations! And being effectively draped in a bedsheet the entire time, no less 🥰And that final training fartlek - it's easy to forget how quick Phily really is when she's unencumbered by a massive pumpkin costume. Great video, you two!

Great seeing you both within the content, well done Daniel. I only did my first Parkrun about 3 months back and I'm well and truly hooked on the runs at the moment, training most days. As you are new to running watch those PB's drop quickly to a point. Look forward to seeing you on the channel more. p.s that Dog was definitely giving you guys evils, pause at 6:17! damn Halloween Hound! By the way, do you or Phily know, are there Cross Country races or meets for non-elite/club runners, I like the look of those.

@PhilyBowden Жыл бұрын

I was worried the dog may have tried to attack the pumpkin suit! Absolutely there’s loads of cross country you can run as a non-elite! Assuming you’re in the UK - best bet is to contact your local athletics club and try out the league races they do- some offer you the opportunity to run as a guest (for a small fee) without having to join officially as well

Also the bit about tying your shoes multiple times is so true for me 🤣 I always feel like one shoe is slightly tighter than the other, so I have to retie one of them (usually the one that's too loose), but then that one feels tighter than the other one, so I retie the other one. I do that one or two times until I feel like they're even and still comfortable, or they're both so tight that I have to retie them both (am embarrassed to admit sometimes there's a third retying until the circle stops :D)
