We were going to do this one in a few weeks but I see Dereham parkrun has started. As we're staying close and it's my ancestral home we'll certainly be there.

Yes, my first ever Parkrun was on holiday. Great time, Kev. A real inspiration.

Excellent vlog once again. Norfolk is such a lovely place. I've done 72 Parkruns at 37 locations. I love trying new ones and visiting new places. I'll be at Great Yarmouth on Saturday which I'm really looking forward to.

Yes! Much to wife’s annoyance 😜

Hi Kev, I haven't posted on your videos for quite a while but I always watch them and love what post and how you present them, so I just want to offer my two penneth, for what little it's worth, my brother be easy on yourself, the times you run are faster than many, many people half your age, besides, what is a time anyway, did you start running just to post quick times, do you only run with times in mind, completing a run of any length in any time is a massive achievement, my advice take a few days off, then go out for a run and leave your watch at home, just be in the moment, no times, no pressure, simply remind yourself of why you chose running and why you keep running

Hope your health worries get sorted soon. I've been under cardiology for over a year but thankfully things seem ok.

Hi Kev, I noticed you had quite a congested start, I had a similar experience last year I just couldn’t get into my stride and lost time dodging people! I beat myself up as I felt I had underperformed ….you were very supportive to me on Strava and I took what you said onboard …moved on and planned my next race. Take heart mate you me and all the other “old” guys running are setting the standards for our younger running buddies…”I hope I can run as well as you when I’m your age” is a comment I often hear! My philosophy is Stick at your training and results will come, enjoy every run/race/event, have a beer after! Hope to run with sometime.

Trail shoes or road shoes?

Sensible decision to make Chester your last marathon 👍

Great video - I was doing the 3k with my son and he loved seeing himself on the big screen. Great finishing time for you , keep smiling!

Love the vlogs mate. You still posted a brilliant time. I've ran the Parkrun there and really enjoyed it. I'm also doing the GNR for the third time. It's absolutely incredible mate, you'll love it. Don't forget that you're an outstanding athlete and especially for your age. I'm 50 and would love to run as you do 👏👏

Pacers can be so heart breaking when they catch up with you!

hope you feel back to your best soon!

That's quality mate. I like to volunteer at our local Junior Parkrun at Albert in Middlesbrough. I've 10 volunteer credits and 71 Parkruns.

What event are you volunteering for?

I've done that one. Very nice fast finish downhill!

Well done, Kevin.

Good effort especially for the terrain, really enjoyed it 💪

Excellent time and especially considering all of your recent events. I enjoyed this style of vlog 👏👏👏

Well done, mate. That looked like a really pleasant course. And a bit of refreshing rain never hurt anyone! Were you pacing yourself at all? I've never ran more than 15k so wouldn't know how fast/slow to go on a half-marathon. Cheers.

I did a training session there when I stopped at the campsite, lovely park to run in. Well Done 👍

I was looking back at your video and realized I was in it haha was such a great race!!

Looks like a lovely route for a training run. The race looked tough.

Fair play to getting to parkrun after a 10 miler the day before. 💪

We remember that one - a pleasant course. Have they still got the environmental toilet?

Nice looking route, but quite a few bottle necks by the looks of it?

Nicely done, after a hard race before 👍🏻🏃‍♂️

Hi idone chester half 2 years ago its amazing I doing my 2 marathon at chester this oct 6 well done

Fairplay to the guy. I find it so difficult to keep HR under 140 (or my Zone 2) even on easy paced runs and almost have to walk but will try today

Great vid, you were right behind me at the beginning - thats me in the orange top black shorts! Was a very hot day but the spectators were immense and spurred us all on. Congrats on your sub 1h50 👏

I love to do that one day

Ace video 👍 nice to see a bit of coverage....this was my first ever half .... actually my first ever race at 46 .... managed to get round in 2.05 ... the heat🥵 and last mile were a killer.... but the support and hose pipes were amazing👏...... ive already signed up to attempt it again next year!!

Good to meet you mate. Thanks for my little cameo appearance at 9:40 😂

Great video Kev!, you have captured the magic of the Chester half marathon, great run in the heat too, well done 👍

Such a brilliant time in those conditions 👏

Well done Kev !! Super warm so your time is still a great one. First time I've done it and would definitely do it again. Slightly disappointed at the trophy situation as the first female finisher was a V40 so she was also awarded the V40 trophy as well. Never known this as usually only one prize. Same for V45 but it does show the amazing running of Vet females

Well run Kev 👏👏👏

I was just in front of 65 min pacer at 14:12 in blue vest! Been in a couple of your videos now, haha.

Great run excellent time was a warm one. I've actually made it into your video I was the 65min pacer that ran passed 😁

22 degrees? Try a marsthon in 27 degrees. Actually don't try a marsthon in 27 degrees. Hottest we can remember was a Yeovil 5k the other year. 35 degrees. Insane.

Good effort. Here's me going life and death with the 5k lol.

Good run in the sun. Which one would you pick, hot and sunny at Chester or cold, wet and windy at Boston 🤔. Me, I'd go hot I think, but would probably be slower.

That's an excellent time in sweltering conditions. I ran 1 hr 52 at Edinburgh in driving rain so massive congratulations to you for your time 👏👏👏👏

Well done Kev !! Great effort on a very warm day. Warmest races I have done was Norton 9 in 2018. Only been running a few months and 9 miles was furthest I'd ever run. People wer out with sponges and hosepipes. Then in 2022 Askern 10k was mid 20s and set off like a bat out of hell doing sub 4min/k that lasted 2k then I died. Never been so happy to finish that day.

Well done Kev. Looks a nice park.

Nice park that and you got it at the right time of year. Those trails can get very muddy in winter.

Really nice parkrun Goole. They always seem to have pacers.

Great work. My local parkrun. Good to see myself several times on your vlog... You came in 59 secs in front of me!

We know someone who managed 3:14 in the marathon as a V60. Stunning performance in those conditions.
