Nice video Sam, 78 miles 😳, just broke 40 for the first time in my block and legs handling ok. Must be nice to train in a bit of sunshine but a bit of a shock to the system coming back to freezing Britain 🥶... good work over there tho and looks great this time of year 🌞😁

Splendid week there. Not at all jealous as we continue to battle ice on our trails :😂😊

I’m surprised the parkrun went ahead in this weather! My preferred park run was cancelled a few weeks in a row. Solid training week 💪

You pulled that week round nicely. Like you I have to get some runs on the board Monday and Tuesday or reset my expectations.

Good advice Sam. I've had to adapt my sessions for intervals for treadmills and despite being a vocal anti treadmiller I've bin made to eat my words and actually enjoying a few of the benefits. It's something I'll consider more going forward in order to get the quality session in during snow and ice.. Solid weeks work there 💪 currently on day 22 red but to maintain streak I've done a few 2 mile filler runs. Keep up the good work mate 👍 look forward to next 1

I am also signed up for Valencia 2025 and aiming to run sub-3. Weight is huge. My whole plan is to lose about 5-7kg (currently an 76kg) to get over 10 minutes of finish time that I need to find. Less weight not only means you can run faster, it means you can train harder with less chance for injuries and higher mileage. Also expelling heat is easier when fat is thinner. So if you have fat to spare, that’s probably the easiest way to get the result.

We're having a hilly phase too. Big gains to be made. When I lived in Barnsley you just came across undulations naturally but where we are it's either flat trail or the Pennines. I've neglected elevation recently so bringing it back.

Hill Reps are coming back over the next week for me 😅 I did most Fridays during blocks last year 😅 ... well done on the parkruns. Nice trail course by the look of it 👌

Its run day... that's how i treat everyday off during Xmas period.😂.... and more parkruns ... I am hoping to build my weekly milege in the new year. Anywhere around 35-40 for January and upto 40-45 Feb in my half block... not done that kind of volume before so will be tough trying to balance that with vital s&c, family and a 60hr working week 😅 see how we get on... all the best for 2025 🎉

Get everything youve said about booking extra races in. Ive paid the price of my over optimism of booking races close together. I took a dip after a race recently. I intended to build from it but didnt have the motivation and energy to put in them extra key sessions to achieve the next goal. This cost me. So relatable what your saying. I think we need enough time to reset after each goal. Otherwise the thing we love becomes a chore and drains us and we lose sight of the other benefits of running. Thanks for that 👍

Solid efforts and very insightful. Thanks for the video 👍

Good solid week there. Keep the content rolling out next year.

Hi Sam , not sure if you mentioned it , for these Reps what was the RPE you were aiming for ?

Cracking video Sam, a strong week of training. Nice seeing your getting to the parkrun finish line at such speed, I have to ff my video's to make them look like that 🤣 Anyways, Hope you have a very merry Christmas pal🎄

Hey, I recently ran a 2:36 as a master's runner (not bad eh?) I'm going to join a club in England I suppose, or I won't get in on the Championship entry, but I'm a foreigner. So, I heard you say "wear your club's kit". If I'm joining as an outsider, just for this race, is that an extra thing I'm paying for and really is it a must to wear the club's kit? I just want to do all this the right way.

Belfast? Running in the footsteps of Stephen Scullion. Lovely to see you at Telford. Let's have you in Wave 2, or even Wave 1 next year.

This video radiates such good vibes!

Thanks for the support, it was a great event 🎉

Great effort for Valencia , I have managed to get a number for next year . Can you share costs for flights and accommodation ? And how far out you booked ? Hoping to book my flight ASAP once released

All sound advice. The only thing I’d add is make sure you book more time off work 😂

Produce a weekly training Vlog. Thinking of the running content often keeps me focused 😂

Nice on Sam. Yes lots more in the tank for you with a better build up.

Congrats on your race! The finish line is beautiful with the blue carpet and the architecture around, must have felt incredible to cross it.

Nice time 👍🚀🚀 But it's not race day, it's just race+ comments 🤗 Beat wishes 💪💪💪

Great footage mate… not that I’m biased 😅 Pleasure spending some miles with you as always, and well done on another great marathon time!

Gerr off maaa laaaand!

Glad you put a video up, was literally scratching my head this week wondering what happened. Life can be a nuisance, but you’ve clearly still been putting a good amount of work in so you might surprise yourself. Best of luck with the marathon, look forward to seeing how you get on 💪

thanks for the video planning this next year ❤

Also had a tough day - aiming for sub-3h05, ended up with two trips to the loo and a 3h28. And I'm glad you said it was warm - I kind of thought that but didn't really believe it? Probably another factor in making it a difficult day (my perception was that a lot of people were struggling and there were a fair few needing medical help).

Good luck with your training. I’m doing exactly the same as you, ran the Yorkshire as a long run in the build up to Valencia. Trying to get the mileage back up again without getting injured, Great to see your videos. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the mention, Sam. I often find there is far more of interest, and certainly relatability, in the smaller channels than some of the 'influencer' ones.

Nice to see you finishing strongly. Excellent training series this.

Amazing race result and on a horrible windy day too which I imagine made it harder. Really enjoying the videos, keep up the solid work 💪

Well done, very sensible decision to back off and recover, good luck in Valencia 🇬🇧

Might see you in York in one guise or another.

Love the honesty mate, good luck Saturday 👍

I’m glad you said “route” and not the dance, as people don’t realise how fatigued and under pressure the blokes are when on selection. The kit we carry is worlds apart from equal weight that civvies have. An A frame Bergen , DMS boots and an SLR (not slung) is character building stuff. 👍 well done buddy.

Good solid week, Sam. Looking good.

Definitely mate I will drop message soon 👍

Loving the series mate 👍

Cracking video mate, looking forward to following you to a PB 💪

Good luck with the training. A lot of harder running in there. Your 31-year-old body copes with it well.

Nice video. Congrats for 4 days. Well done!

Only been there once. Forgot how pleasant it is.

Hi, where did you book guide/ accom?

enjoying this chill approach ❤

Well done lads , very honest and informative, enjoyed it

Loving the video’s mate kept me entertained on a 4 hour flight ✈️

Nice parkrun. Although the old route up then down was faster. A shame it changed

Yep plenty more to come from you, young man.
