Bideford 10k 2024 - Race Review
This weekend we were at the Bideford 10k.
Held in stunning North Devon the Bideford 10k course is challenging at the start but as you settle in it proves to be a real PB potential.
You also get a great medal if that’s your thing plus a finishers t-shirt.
Our race review of the Bideford 10k gives you full review of the course, summary of the event including parking and logistics. Thank you to Hayden Bond for filming some great footage whilst I was racing.
As always I had so much fun filming this. There was a great atmosphere and the support was wonderful. Well done to everyone who raced.
If you were there, can you spot yourself?
Thank you to Bideford Amateur Athletic Club, all the volunteers, marshals and everyone who came out to support, cheer and wave at the camera.

How will taking a break from running really affect you?
Переглядів 1442 роки тому
In this video I talk through the reality of taking time off running! Is it really going to be that detrimental to your running. Can taking a break be a good thing? For some it's not an option. Life is often about changing priorities and that's healthy. Running more often than not should take a back seat at certain times in our lives, so what does that mean for your fitness. Please make sure you...

The welcome was great and everyone ...

    I’m in college and recently was struggling with my mental health, I’ve been doing very little amounts of running per week over the past 3 months ever since I slowed down. I want to get back into running but am scared of being so out of shape. This definitely helps, but after how long of consistency will I feel back in shape again? I just want to be back where I was three months ago

  • @stevenwilliams9181
    @stevenwilliams9181 3 місяці тому

    I did this. I struggled because of the humidity (which was unusual for early October), and my left shoe started falling apart a couple of miles in, so I have to tie my laces round the bottom and tie them at the top to hold it in place, I still finished it

    My tip: go out as regularly as you usually do aiming just to go for a walk. It’s the getting out that’s the hardest step. You’ll feel you’ve done something and had some exercise… and you might even have a little run.

    Really enjoyed this series and used it to help me plan how to return to running post covid. Today is day 12 after testing negative. I've been keeping to the 5k distance but today (4th run post covid) was the first time I could run the full distance. I'm going to stick with the 5k next week and reintroduce some strength work at the gym then gradually start to increase the miles again. I've changed my GWR half marathon place to do the 10k instead so I still have something to aim for but without the pressure of the half marathon. Thanks for sharing your experiences and advice 🙂

    • @TheRunnersGuide

    Great review and fab video. I agree with James that the Tavy 5 is a great race to get a good time, I frequently do the monthly Tavy 5 and I am usually more than a minute faster than at the Plym Valley or Central Parkrun’s in Plymouth. Always great organization by TAC and very friendly at registration. I love the track start and finish.

    I'm only 1minute in (1:23 to be precise) and I'm gobsmacked. Central Park Parkrun is 'relatively flat'???? It's down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up. Ok, so I haven't done much parkrun tourism, but I'm not sure I would be calling this one flat. 🤣🤣

    • @TheRunnersGuide
      @TheRunnersGuide 2 роки тому

      Thanks David. Have a watch all the way through to the end and I talk about the hills. Relative to many in this area it’s not super hilly 👍. I maybe used the word flat a bit too much 😂 Have great day 😊

    • @TheRunnersGuide
      @TheRunnersGuide 2 роки тому

      Ah amazing! Great to see you 😃 It’s definitely got a few inclines. I think the sun made me forget them when I did the video 😂. Hope you had a good run.

    It took a good couple of weeks for my heart rate to come back to ‘normal’ after Covid even though I felt ok in myself.

    • @TheRunnersGuide
      @TheRunnersGuide 2 роки тому

      That’s a very common thing. I’m finding exactly the same. I hope you’re back running fully now 😊

  • @DarrenJEvans
    @DarrenJEvans 2 роки тому

    Hello James. I would be interested to discuss this with you sometime. I think that you have my phone number (I’m Val´s son). Feel free to contact me if you wish. 15 months ago I was in your position. I came back really slowly, but still can‘t run today without major side effects. I know other people who have experienced similar to me and many others who could just restart (with a lot less care than me to be honest) just like after an injury. I think that before restarting everything has to be back to normal and only then with caution. In my case, after restarting, my abnormally high HR was a major warning sign that a medical condition persisted. I think that, for some people, it is a very different rehabilitation to coming back gently from an injury. Anyway, it would be great to talk to you about this. If I can contribute in any way, then I would be happy. Best wishes Darren

    • @TheRunnersGuide
      @TheRunnersGuide 2 роки тому

      I’m so sorry to hear this Darren. It’s very different for everyone and I know some have really suffered with the effects of long covid. I hope you get there and I’m sure you will. More than happy to chat sometime

    I find the track really hard work. Not sure if it’s a mental thing.

    • @TheRunnersGuide
      @TheRunnersGuide 2 роки тому

      I think you’re absolutely right it really can be a mental thing. It’s not for everyone but if you find a way to have fun and enjoy it then it can be great. Happy running 😊
