Great stuff, glad you enjoyed it, it's just a completely different feel to it than the usual early start kind of race. The turn on to the last part to the finish the wind got me, I was conflicted because it was doing a great at cooling us down, but completely took my breath away. Still well happy and actually got a faster time than I popped on the video so even more chuffed. So glad you enjoyed it and thank you for watching 😊

Cheers Andy. Yes it can be worth it if you do a lot of racing and don't often get chance to run with the group (as long as its affiliated) just to get your extra couple of quid of here and there. Tri club sounds exciting though, I'm definitely getting back into some swimming after race season is up, be pretty cool to try a tri next year. Track access is useful, i like to jump on it on Thursday's if the run for all doesn't fit with a current plan and should really make more of an effort to use it moving forward.

Cheers Craig. Awesome video. Don't beat yourself up. We all make mistakes - that's why they put rubbers on the end of pencils. 😆 Tough parkrun before your race was always going to be a challenge. I ran a parkrun PB just ONE HOUR before a full marathon, and then struggled badly in the latter stages of the marathon. The race looked awesome. A lovely place to run. Regarding fell running, it might seem like a good idea but we're all different so if you're susceptible to falls then is it worth the risk? Only you can decide. The intensity of fell running also hammers the body so could possibly affect future runs/races if you aggravate a niggle. Something to think about maybe. Thanks again. I did enjoy this video. Ps. Congratulations to friend on an incredible swim/run/race. Very impressive.

Cheers Colin, good point about the pencil haha. I could genuinely fall seated and have zero head for heights. By the time I crawled to the top of the hill I was genuinely terrified of falling back down so I'm really glad I didn't.

@@TheRunningWhale Sorry for delay. Effort and a bit of struggle are part of the appeal but running essentially has to be enjoyed. Sometimes, we see people doing races and feel we should be doing it also. I see this quite a lot with marathons and ultras. It's very important to focus on what we enjoy and not be swayed too much by others. Fell runners are amazing but for many, just the thought of them doing long distances on a flat road would be their idea of hell. Good luck in Blackpool.

Whilst it's not purely just a running club, I joined Bury AC a couple of months back. I'm still meeting people and getting to know them, but the big benefit I have found is in running track nights with people that are better then me. It's daunting lining up next to such great runners but it has given me some structure and something to aim for, and I look at it not as me being slow but as me having the most opportunity for improvement. I only have to be careful not to push so hard that I over-do it. These more social type of clubs are very different though, and it would be interesting to run with one one day.
@TheRunningWhale 15 күн бұрын
Yeah I know we have the track on Tuesday but after long run Sunday Monday tends to be my day off so th thought of starting my running week on the track just doesn't appeal but may do in the future. I don't mind if we do sessions on a Thursday of course. This is why having so many options is great, there's literally something for everyone. Like you say, it can be daunting jumping straight on the track with the faster folks, but depending on ability, working up through the groups really helps with the confidence. Glad you're getting plenty out of your club pal 👍

York is one lovely place to run around. So pleased how the video turned out, this new camera is a heavy little bugger but worth it to share with everyone.

Haha cheers for watching. Yes the world burning look wasn't a good one. Think I've got to grips with the new camera now lol. Cheers, I actually surprised myself with the result of the titles on the river 🤣
