🙌

No but I’m taking part in my Running Groups ‘virtual tour around the country ‘race series. Next stop 8.5km in ‘Liverpool lime street to Aintree Race Course’. 100k in a month :)

Haha great analogy!

Aww, very harsh, probably true but so harsh! 😂😂

Great tip!

Or get a flipbelt, it has a clip inside to keep keys.

Don't be a pocket percussionist.

Haha agreed!

Haha!

Thanks so much guys 🙌 We had lots of fun creating this one

Thank you so much!

The Running Channel all good its great content

We are definitely using that one in the future! 😂

We don't know how she does it! Thanks for watching!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Maths under pressure is hard!

@@runningchannel there are tips and tricks to make maths easier.. especially when under pressure.. just an example: 10000 divided by 400 is equal to 100 divided by 4 (remove the equal amount of trailing zeros when dividing), which in itself is much simpler.. or (while not in the challenge it might be useful at one point) if anything needs to be divided by 5, just multiply it by 2 and then divide it by 10 (just move the comma), which is much easier than trying to actually divide by 5 in most cases.

cdh79 cheers Geoff

You're more than welcome Paul!

Flexing haha!

Wise words! Thank you Robert!

Thanks Catherine!

Sorry Anna! 😂

Running Channel I agree very hash on Anna (who dished it out, challenges)

Anna overthinks the Maths challenge. How many 400 metres in 10,000 metres? If it wasn't against the clock she'd find this easy!

@@hairyairey decades after leaving school I learned to appreciate Maths and not hate it (plus I had an excellent GCSE teacher). I stopped overthinking or even saw it as intimidating.

Haha yes the task master!

Thanks Owen! Would you like to see all 4 presenters doing challenge videos more often?

😂

Top work!

So lovely to hear that!!

Sounds awesome! Congrats on completing it as well!

Always singing!

Well done! Our pleasure!

😂😂😂

Us too!

Classic Rick!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Close enough! Good job though!

Thanks so much

Great challenge suggestion - thank you!

Thank you Zeit!

Definitely! Before you know it you’ve been sitting on your kit for an hour wondering where the time went 😂

Thank you!

Thanks for the info! Are you looking forward to summer marathon training?

The Running Channel where I am in California now it’s starting to get into the mid to high 80’s temperature wise, so, yeah! Why not? I told myself I would do my first 26.2 this year so I’m glad it’s still on... maybe.

Glad to hear it!

Nice work! Thanks!

Haha exactly! Thank you 😊

Thanks!

Nice work! Well done Bethany!

Thanks Joseph!

Our pleasure! Thanks for sticking with us!

Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it

😂

Top tip for Anna!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Anna runs with the Garmin Fenix 6S www.garmin.com/en-GB/p/641530

Awesome! Well done for doing your own challenge!

Glad you can relate haha! Thanks!!

Hahah!

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks Tom!

Thank you!!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Anna and Rick still need to have a decider challenge!

Hi You Running Channel I thought there was a vote to decide the winner in which lots of us voted (or am I wrong over that)

The struggle is real! Cheers for watching!

The Running Channel & PTR101 I like maths, but the maths challenge took me over 10 minutes to do it, (did the thing/or whoever set it up, have a thing against Anna) At 5:30 in the video Rick was loving it loving it large, at how lucky he was, (no other challenge for him) The Running Channel Would love to see another 2.6 challenge, this time Anna just to run 2.6 miles, and Rick has to do a challenge in which he hates to do, before he runs 2.6 miles, (will Rick do it)

Wow, well done! Andy would not have wanted to do that challenge haha!

Great idea!

Haha maths is hard! Well done, awesome job!

Priscilla Di Toma I agree with you, I feel sorry for Anna

Haha great idea!

every time!

Hopefully you're quicker than Rick at getting out the door!

Wow! What an awesome race to take part in. I'm yet to do my first 100 miler, but have done a few ultras - some starting VERY early, others usual race morning start and one that started at midday. Personally I am happy running at any time of the day and when you're going that far I guess it all comes down to personal preference. Are you a morning person? Will you find it easy to get going at 6am? Will you be anxiously waiting if you start later in the day? Have a think about your current runs and how you feel running at different times of day. And hopefully some of the Running Channel community can help you out too. Good luck! Anna

Yess!

Sarah Hofmann I'm a maths teacher and it took me over 8 minutes to do/completed it.

Haha yes everyone is different!

Hi you The Running Channel Thanks for your reply back, Using maths, because I (The Running Channel) being a maths teacher like to use maths, (without sounding rude to Anna) I wouldn't suspect her to be as good as me at maths. It took me over 8 minutes to complete it, now I'm being kind to The Running Channel when I say 18 minutes for the running of 2.6 miles (for Anna) Because a, it took me over 8 minutes, B, that's without getting the answer confirmed, C, that's without getting my running gear on, D, that's without myself getting out of the door. And e, I wouldn't surprise Anna to get this very tough maths challenge that so quick. Being very very kind when saying 18 minutes for Anna to run 2.6 miles. As runners, as runners keen, we all know seconds add up, 18 minutes for 2.6 miles in just under 14 kmh, which works out for 5km 21:30 minutes just under 14kmh (for the 5km) Anna I don't know what's your PB for 5km, I don't know, if Anna your PB is no where near 21:30 for 5km then it as a impossible challenge for you, Anna. So Anna you shouldn't feel so bad about it because it was a impossible challenge for you to complete, not enough time (by whoever set it up) 12 minutes for 2.6 miles works out at just under 21kmh, meaning a 14:20 for 5km is needed for just under 21kmh. A impossible challenge for Anna. And I still can't believe how easy Rick had it, not giving Rick another challenge. The Running Channel would like to see another 2.6 challenge this time Rick being given impossible challenge for it and Anna just to run it.

Thanks Lisa!

Haha Rick did not come up with the master plan - we all know Anna is bad at maths!

Hi you Running Channel If it was Rick who was in charge of these challenges etc etc, who was it?

I know right 😂

@@runningchannel the look on Rick's face and how he complained for the first 10 minutes of his run? dying 😂

Is this like being the Joey?

@@runningchannel Kind of, but Sokka is way smarter than Joey, but he is the comic relief. You can't tell me you guys haven't seen Avatar the Last Airbender the series? I'd put Andy as the avatar, Anna as Toph and Kate as Katara.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Ah we missed a trick there!

Princess 45 I agree (I feel sorry, very sorry for Anna) because that was a tough challenge for Anna, and Rick couldn't believe his luck. I like maths 9x 9 81, done sudoku, before in minutes, yet this took me over 10 minutes to do it. (Did whoever done it) have a thing against Anna.

No one was trying to catch Anna out, we just underestimated her maths (despite knowing she was bad at it from previous videos!) We will have to make it easier next time!

Haha I am not sure Rick would like that!

@@runningchannel i understand, but rick got off easy. Maybe that's the tie breaker from their last challenge?

Princess 45 & The Running Channel I agree with you Princess 45 Rick got off easy, while Anna had it tough.

Woo! Thanks!

Thank you for the video suggestion!

Haha we love a bleep test!

Thanks for your comment! We are looking for someone to set this challenge for us! Please email community@therunningchannel.com for more information :)

do you still need me to email?

Nothing is impossible!! These challenges were just a bit of fun, and more about spreading the message to fundraise for charities that will be missing out this year! We will bear this in mind when setting challenges for Anna vs Rick round 3 though! Thank you!

Haha 26 miles on the spot would be horrible! Thanks Mike!

Thanks for the feedback! We love creating challenge videos!

Amazing effort, well done!

Martin Edwards So was I hoping that Anna would complete it/, 2.6 task, given that Anna was given the toughest one, made that very very unlike, and Rick challenge was taking the mick/biscuit.

Nice one!

Maybe you can come up with any maths challenges we set Anna in the future!

Hi you Running Channel I like that idea of coming up with a maths challenge for Anna (and Rick) that would be awesome/mint, maybe round 3? haha. Anna should you choose to accept this maths challenge, is to solve this maths challenge and then ran 2.6 miles in 26 minutes, no calculator is aloud (if you use a calculator it's a instant fail) You Anna have 26 minutes to solve this maths challenge at the end of this message and run 2.6 miles in 26 minutes, Go. 2 + 2 = Rick should you choose to accept this maths challenge, is to solve this maths challenge and then ran 2.6 miles in 26 minutes, no calculator is aloud (if you use a calculator it's a instant fail) Rick you have 26 minutes to solve this maths challenge at the end of this message and run 2.6 miles in 26 minutes, Go. Part a, which number is the odd one out and why, 05.5623 10.2601, 11.1612, 32.4762, 10.2544, 21.2760, 07.6424 Part b, 25 x 12 - 99 - 2 + 72 - 269 x 13 - 1 + 349 x 2 - 300 - 111 + 71 x 3 - 213 + 12 - 622 + 14 - 286 x 2 - 731 = Can Anna and Rick do/pass the challenge, (will only one person do/pass it, taking the 3rd round, title) or will they both do it, Only time will tell, maybe if they both do it, it's the quickest who takes the title?

Running Channel & whoever/maths Running channel love all videos, challenges there all awesome, (look forward to all) Notice this thing, thought what the heck, what the heck lets do this 2.6 challenge (I've done 2 challenges) 2.6 challenge raising awareness for UK charities and failed them both, first did the one that Anna had, failed that one, next one (Running Channel) notice this challenge, thought what the heck, see if I can do this challenge by maths teacher?? And failed it, (done Rick challenge) found the first one easy, but boy ow boy the second bit is tough, very tough, (how the heck did you manage to come up with that) boy ow boy, had my head going around, tough very tough. Felt like cheating a lot of the time, felt like cheating, using calculator, (not going to lie over that) TO YOU BOTH/ALL, but never once used it, it took me over 11:30 minutes to complete them both (I think/hope) with right answer(s) (To all) got up to 1.6 miles and time was up, failed the challenge (with a mile to go) Challenges are way cool fun (and raising awareness for UK charities is even cooler) love fair challenges, love fair challenges to all. But have to be honest, have to one of my pet hates, is a unfair challenge, don't like it. Why not, then just like myself do this challenge by maths/whoever teacher. I ran (in other races) for guide dogs.

Who's Hannah? 🤔

Oops, apologies! Now corrected :)

Maybe I'll spend my money on some spelling lessons for myself instead

Thanks for your help with the challenge!

Haha yes that would have been a good solution!

The Running Channel Next time. No worries, can’t wait for the next video😉 and thank you so much for replying!

Rick completed his challenge at 13:57 - You must have missed his speedy running haha!

@@runningchannel D'oh! I see that now. I think I skipped forward a bit when I heard him singing lol :)

Defo!
