Mark G : The Test Run
United Kingdom
Приєднався 15 сер 2006
Welcome to my running vlog, looking at running training, trails, form, drills, heart rate, gear and all the other things I encounter on my journey from a beginner runner to a better runner!
I take a light-hearted and fun approach to vlogging about my progression, as I learn about cadence, posture, what clothes to wear, nutrition, weight loss, how to warm up and cool down properly, running in snow and rain, recovery, and races.
As a new running UA-camr, I still have a lot to learn and I am documenting the process so we can learn together and have a laugh whilst doing so.
Since starting the channel, I have now run on two 10k races, one half marathon, and one 50k ultra marathon. I've signed up to run another ultra in May 2024 and will be vlogging my training, as well as the race. ParkRun is also something I'm keen to try out in future.
Please SUBSCRIBE to follow along and enjoy the journey. It's free to do so :) Thank you!

I go through all the unexpected ups and downs of my week of training, as I build up after my Achilles injury, aiming for the Carsington Water Half Marathon in February 2025, and the Spire Ultra in May 2025.
I also try my hand at UA-cam magic for the first time, with mixed results! :)
