The Worcestershire Way 2024 /// The Epic Trail You've Never Heard Of
One of the main reasons I always do this trail in cold weather is because I do it self supported. One of these days I'll do it in warmer weather when hopefully there's less mud. I'll probably run out of water after 5k, but at least I won't have muddy feet 😂
Who knows... Maybe I'll find a way around it one day.
Doing this trail solo, once a year is such a great challenge for me. It never gets easier and always looks beautiful. I might try south to north next time and see if it's harder/easier!
Hope you've had a merry Christmas, and I'd like to wish you all a very happy new year.

There's no way this is a solo sport. No way at all. I'm lucky and privileged enough to know so some awesome people who said they'd help pace my dream time of sub 20 minutes for the 5k.

If I can go sub 6 for the mile, maybe I can dream of a sub 20 5k. Any slower, I could struggle. Plus I still have a marathon in my legs - can I find the strength for a sub 6? Let go of your limits!

GLORY LAURA: !!!!!!
F..k the time Andy and get it done in a very worthy way .....thats the way and dont be disappointed as you say ,,,,,marathons are hard and unpredictable........inga dk
Andy Mquire the living legend.......inga dk.
Haha thank you ❤️
Hi Andy not long been listing to ya pod cast and seeing ya channel. But any advice on where to stay for this event it's my first time and it seems quite stressful trying to sort out best way to do accommodation 😂
Personally I'd get accommodation in Sunderland and then drive up the coast road on the Sunday and park. Make sure you arrive early though!
Great video Andy! I did this parkrun in November and was by the far the best I’ve felt at a parkrun. I’m a lot slower than most the whizzes on UA-cam 😅 great effort!
Nice one Mike 👍🏻
Well done mate. Regarding Laura, you are indeed lucky. My girls are none plussed with my running adventures....
Thanks Chris ❤️
Well done Andy. You absolutely encapsulate the 'joys' of ultra running....🙂
Thanks Chris - it's certainly a rollercoaster!
What roads/surfaces nearer to home are you training on to get this great progress andy? 🎉
Country lanes mainly, those undulating roads near me did me the world of good I think!
Have you tried Hereford, Andy? It's a bit better now they've resurfaced part of the cycle track, and it's not completely flat (with a few loose stones here and there) but it's a relatively good one for pb attempts (got my 2nd fastest ever 5k there last week!)
I haven't done it for a good while so maybe I'll have another go one day. Well done on the 5k time! There's one in Hay on Wye I'd like to try one day soon, maybe in spring/summer. Is that your neck of the woods?
Just catching up on all the vids and podcasts as I fell behind over Xmas, great work smashing the 20 min mate, told you it would be your 7th attempt! I'm targeting 25 mins for 5k this year, my boss is doing the same and I'm determined to beat him to it! All the best mate
You did call it! Lucky number 7. I hope you beat the boss to sub 25!
How many drinks did you shug at the pub before geting sick?
Zero. And I was sick en route to the pub. Little dry heaves.
You could have had your bird delivering water bottles/sports drink bottles during the race at that loop. She could have given you bottles at least 4 times.
"Your bird". Oh dear 🤦🏻♂️
@@itsonandy thats the term that a lot of you guys over there use. It was a missed opportunity though.
Have you tried the nike ultra trail shoes with goretex Andy ?? they are very fair to run in on that surface you have been running today......inga dk.
With s so much faster last km you could have gone out faster and got a faster time still.
Hindsight. It's bloody lovely isn't it.👌🏻
Keep watching it back...awesome!!
Nice one Dean! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do it again 😂
Smashed the PB!
Thank you!
Just dropped back into this as it’s week 1 of Manchester block. Your week 1 weather was a little different….
Nice one Rob. Ah yes I vaguely recall not having to to death on every run.
What a great video. I could really feel the pressure ramp up with the breathing and the music :-). I was grimacing, just watching it, feeling the pain. Then actually, smiling, just watching the part where you cross the line. A distant dream for me at the moment, beating 20 but I am hopeful. Well done!
Thanks so much for watching!❤️
Only recently come across your channel. Enjoying working my way through your videos, inspiring me to maybe film my own training in 2025. All the best and keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks Steven, good luck with your training and enjoy the journalling of filming it. Very cathartic I find!
First time I've watched one of your videos. You're very natural with the camera. Thanks for sharing the Worcester Way!
Thanks Graham, it's taken me well over 10 years of practise!
Awesome mate, and hope you enjoy / enjoyed the break. Take it easy buddy. 👍
Cheers my man!
Well done mate. Thanks for introducing that trail to me. I live relatively local but hadn't heard of it. Will defo do it. BTW - taking wrong turns, doubting yourself, having highs and lows, plenty of mud, etc., is simply ultra running for you. But it's addictive.
Cheers Chris! Ultras are awesome, but there's something unique about a self supported ultra I think. The thrill of adventure and also having noone else there to dig you out of a hole is something that's not for everybody! There are some wonderful sections to tackle 👍🏻
@@itsonandy You're totally right! I found you're next attempt at Worcestershire way on UA-cam too You're lucky with your wife supporting... My family just think I'm crazy. I'm also inspired with your Cotswold way adventure. One for the list! Needless to say I'm now a subscriber
Nice one mate. I've got a few ideas for 2025 - but that's as long as I can fit them in around my training as they're such a big commitment. Best of luck with any big adventures you undertake!
Well done buddy 👏💪 what a great effort to finish an amazing year of running. Lauras hula hoop monster eyes moment was the highlight for me 😂
Hahaha she turned into a crisp demon for a second didn't she... I've seen those eyes many times, and it's not just around hula hoops. She's a big fan of crisps.
Awesome effort Andy. To have a massive pb so soon after Valencia is outstanding, well done 👏👏👏
Thank you Tony!
Love these videos and so inspiring to see you go back out again this year to smash the PB in some pretty grim conditions. Congrats on another year of great content and superb running achievements.
Thanks Neil! God only knows why I always leave it till winter to get the WW done... One of these days it'll be the heat I'm moaning about 😂
Your progression from here to where you are now is amazing!!
Haha this is an oldie! I'd love to do Manny half again one year, maybe 2026.👍🏻
Enjoy the rest Andy 👍
Thanks mate ❤️
I could basically listen to this on any 50min run and feel like I'm out for a run with Andy 😂🎉
The dulcet tones of me wheezing and sloppy mud is just heaven isn't it 😂
Congratulations and well done on 200 videos. I'm not surprised you feel in need of a break, that's a lot. You shouldn't feel bad about taking the time you need, whether that's a few weeks or a couple of months.
Thanks Garth!
Phenomenal mate , smiled at the end like a good movie haha , you nearly knocked them guys at finishing line another 50 metres , wish folk would keep moving along tho tbh
Every second counts in a 5k so no chance I was slowing down into that funnel! Cheers mate 👍🏻
nah I think id have preferred to have turned around and ran all the way back than handle those stairs at 47k lol
😂😂😂 Those stairs are pure evil.
Great video mate, can I ask how you clean your trail running shoes? Just bought my first pair of trail shoes and petrified of getting them filthy but I need to face facts they will get dirty?
Two words. Mud Daddy 👊🏻
Love this. Epic run adventure. May you have a great 2025 Andy.
Thank you!
Always a highlight, watching Andy doing maths half way through an ultra 😂 trying to work out what time the next aid stop is. I'm impressed you can always just rock up and do a 50k at this point of the year. Great stuff mate. Happy new year! 🎉😁👍
Cheers Mark. It's a great feeling to get them 50ks finished, as when you start you think it'll be relatively easy, then 35k in you're questioning life choices!
Enjoy the break! Well deserved after a great year 👏🏻
Thank you Aaron 👍🏻
How great Andy a remarcably PB and what a cource simply the best and your endurance cababillity ia wonderfull. Cnngrates with the whole 2025 Andy and a happy new year too. Inga dk.
Thank you Inga 😊
Happy 200th video Andy. Another great video. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2025 🎉
Nice one mate, same to you bud 👍🏻
Fantastic mate! Love yours (and Bretts) videos. Totally inspirational - I've now signed up for my first ultra, at 60! You deserve a break. Hope you, Laura and Daisy have a cracking 2025!
Nice one Ian! Hope that you have fun training for and doing that ultra. They really are awesome.👌🏻
Cracking content - thanks for sharing. Stuck on the sofa this NYE looking after my poorly 4 year old, and this video has got me through a number of pukey bowls and pyjama changes (4 year old, not me) - on that note happy new year and all the best for 2025! 🙂
Sorry to hear that mate, I hope the new year has got off to a better start and the lurgy is a thing of the past. Thanks for watching mate 👍🏻
👊👍👌
Cracking 2024 Andy. Enjoyed following along and getting inspired for my own running. Looking forward to seeing what you do in 2025. Happy New Year mate
Thanks so much - and same to you. Hope you've had a good start to 2025.
Absolutely phenomenal mate. I've loved watching you and the channel grow so much. Rest well and take good care. Happy New Year mate.
Cheers Dean! Hope that you've had a wonderful start to 2025 ❤️
Really looking forward to watching this Andy, loved the other vids. Fair play, power to you, for doing it at this time of year! I ran it in warm weather, and know what a beast it is. A lot harder in the cold, mud, starting in the dark
Nice one Daz. It's an awesome trail isn't it. Well done for doing it in warmer weather, you must have needed so much water!
@ I think 2.5ltr. Topped up twice to reduce moving weight.
Love the Worcestershire Way, great route although plenty of mud at this time of year!
Nice one Ben! It's probably my favourite trail, I really do like it (is horrid as it is in some places 😂).
Have a great break and enjoy yourself, really enjoyed all the content this year, been a fantastic journey and wishing you the best for 2025. Happy New year 🎉
Thank so much Alan, all the best to you too. Hope the new year has started well!
Great job Andy, You should be so proud of all that you have done in 2024. Without your and other videos inspiring me to go out running, I wouldnt be apart of this amazing community. Come of 2025 let be having you!
Enjoyed that Andy, completely agree with you about the time on your own.
Doing the 100k race to the stones next year Andy, saw your vid on it, is it really that bad ?
It is that bad if you haven't trained properly for it! As a course it's not that bad at all.
Can you achieve the 10k and 5k without pacers? That would be interesting viewing. Great ultra to end the year.
Inconceivable to even think about that. Impossible to do it myself!
@@itsonandy never write yourself off without trying. If you want a tough low key ultra, take a look at off the tarmac ultra (pen-y-fan) a great well run event.
First! 🎉
Yes sir you are 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@ sat here listening to you talking about S&C. 🫡 pretty sure I agree on this…
