@@darrenfawke4013 - glad to hear you’re back out running again. Injuries are not fun 😩

Thanks Eddie. Glad to have added some new words to add to your chats 😁 I think I lean more to longer distances because I have to work so hard to get any speed. Very short distances I’m terrible, but I seem to find the longer I go the (relatively) easier it gets. The down side from ultra running though is it takes ages to fully recover. I’m trying to get enough miles in without burning out, but not too few, that I haven’t trained enough. Hopefully I can get the balance right 🤞 Hope you’re still training well too?

@@racheld1844 yes! Just getting ready to head out the door for a 5k in a bit here. July had some setbacks and I had a bit of a health scare so I had to take about half of July off. But I have gotten the all clear to resume running, so I have been back at it. Just happy to be able to run again

@@eddiegaul1903 that’s exactly it, even with all the numbers and times floating round our heads, the most important thing is, that we can get out and run. Did my 5k parkrun this morning, so all down to you to get yours done now. Enjoy 😊

@@racheld1844 yup. I have Roy Days in Roy Utah this morning. A bit of a drive but it is a well organized race put on by the local track club and kicks off the city's festival.

@@tennisatheist9460 - I’d definitely take cool and wet over extreme heat. 98 sounds impossible to train and race in. Hopefully there’s a cooler start to the day to get some training done 🤞

I should have filmed when we first got out of the car, we were being blown sideways and the rain was much heavier. I don’t think we could’ve picked a worse summers day. If I had to choose between that and a heat wave though, I’d definitely go cool, wet and windy 🌧️

It’s the only way we don’t get lost 🤣

Thanks so much Ben. Yes, a very disappointing, overgrown knob. The photos on google showed it a lot more well kept. We’re actually watching your NDW video right now. The weather looked 100 times worse 🌧️ … and you ran 75 more miles 😁 This is one we’d definitely like to have a go at at some point. We’ve booked on to the White Horse 50. Starting and finishing in Marlborough but…. worst of all…. no poles allowed 😭

@@racheld1844 noone wants an overgrown knob 🤣 cheers for checking that vid out again. Can't believe it was a year ago. I have got a bit of Fomo about missing it this year. It's a quality race as I am sure the A100 will be. Did you do the white horse last year or am I imagining that? Best of luck. 😎🤘

@@BenNotley - I think it’s not so bad seeing others racing when you have your own similar plans in the pipeline. Worst is probably watching from the sidelines when you’re injured 🤕 The White Horse is where I did both my 100 races. So it’s the same race I’m doing this year, just the shorter distance. I’ll be able to loop back towards the finish as the 100 runners carry on out into the dark 🐎

Thanks Luke. I didn’t know it was part of the RTTS route. I hope you got better weather than what we did. How did your race go?

@@racheld1844 it was pretty perfect which was lucky for my fist 100k. 18 degrees and dry. RTTS is all along the ridge way. Now entered Centurion’s TP100 next May! I’ll come and cheer you and others on at A100 as I live near Pangbourne

@@lukeowens19 - brilliant! Well done on completing your first 100k. I’ve never ran that distance at an event but did set up a 100k during lockdown as pre- 100m training run. Thames path has a lot of mixed reviews for difficulty. I work really well with flat ground so it would probably suit me to a t 😁 You’ll definitely be well trained on that ground, living on the route. Perfect 🏃🏻

We’ll be trialing a different cake on each visit. It’s a good incentive to go back 😁 Pacing over such a long distance is a tricky one. I’d like a bit in the bank over at least the 1st and probably 2nd leg but beyond that it’s anyone’s guess. The best I’ve done is being able to run walk to 80 miles but my last 100 I walked the last 20 miles. It threw my timing way over the average for the run. 35 minute miles was gruelling 😩 If I can do at least some running on that final leg I’ll class it as a win 🥇

🤣 I might transfer over to this category too 😁

Thank you 🙏 All I want is this person to leave me alone. About to head into some peak weeks of training but enjoying a well earned recovery week this week 😁

Thanks so much. I think my legs won’t feel fresh again till sometime in Nov 🤣

Brilliant! Well done 😁

Thanks Tony 🙏 I’ve been lucky in that I’ve been able to use the channel to my advantage. I’m not going to let this one person change how I go about my running 🏃🏼‍♀️

@@racheld1844 That's the spirit Rachel, never give in! 😁💪👍

Thanks. All I remember is how hot it was that day. Well done on your visit too! Especially on the win Ryan 🎉 Amazing running. We still watch all your videos but have stopped leaving comments on most channels now as ‘he’ often comments too and it’s just easier to stay away and out of sharing that space. Keep up the great content though, we still love sitting down on an evening and catching up with everyone’s uploads 😁

Thank you 🙏 How did The Wild One go? I was listening to Brett and Andy’s Running the Red Line podcast and they mentioned it on there.

Hi Stevie. Thanks for your comments. Shame you found my channel through this specific video but it’s one I had to make as I felt it was the next step to not staying quiet. The amount of supportive comments on this (and the previous video) have been incredible and really helped. Things still being sorted behind the scenes but the best thing is getting caught up in some massive training sessions to get me ready for autumn 🍂 🏃🏼‍♀️

@racheld1844 You're welcome. And the support you have received is a testament to how many are against your tormentor and his behaviour. I will subscribe to your channel, and watch more of your videos now. x

@@stevieroger7478 thank you 🙏

Thanks Marc 😁 definitely looking forward to seeing if I can get this one ticked off 😬

Your point is?

@@racheld1844 Where's the video evidence of her harassment?

Thank you 🙏

Hi Debbie. Thanks for coming over last week. Hope you had a good run? I guess I’ll never be completely invincible but having spoken out makes it much easier to speak out in the future. Great to hear you picked up one of the proviz tops. I keep looking for the white short sleeved version to be back in stock in my size, but it’s been unavailable for months 🙄

​@@racheld1844I did have a very good run! I got the highest age grading I've ever had, so very chuffed! Xx

It’s not what I’d directly thought about but I did wonder if there were alternatives. I wouldn’t rule out any (legal) solution to make sure this stops. Thanks for the suggestion though. I will keep it in mind.

Thanks Marc. Never thought I’d be in this position when I started the channel but I’ll see it through 🙂

Thanks for your thoughts. They were all very valuable points. Yes, hopefully it’ll put closure to this once and for all. I know it’s raised a few points for myself with regards to privacy, entrants lists and not speaking out at the time when these things were happening. I know, all in hindsight it’s easy for me to say but I didn’t think it would have gone on so long. That would be great if you were out helping on the 100. Volunteering is something, in the near future I’d like to get more involved in. Do you think you’d like to have a crack at the 100 at some point?

​@@racheld1844 If you volunteer at a Centurion 100 mile race, you can get free entry to a 100 mile race the following year. I volunteered at the TP100 (Thames Path 100) earlier this year so I can get free entry next year (3rd May 2025). I'm still unsure if I want to do 100 miles - I'll probably give it a go for TP100! Not sure I'll want to do *two* 100-mile races next year, so deliberating on volunteering, and thus entering, the A100. As you can tell, I'm not a natural volunteer lol. Just don't like paying to run and am very content running by myself for the most part.Thing is, for a 100-mile race the aid stations and support becomes mega-important. Sorry - didn't mean to go on a ramble lol. Thanks for your videos and looking forward to the future ones. Once again, all the best for your training.

Thanks Jason. I’m hoping to keep running for many years to come 😁

Hi Rob, thank you. I was testing the water a bit with the first video, to see what kind of reaction I’d get. It was all so overwhelmingly positive that I felt comfortable with releasing a bit more info. There’s still a lot of information that I’ve not said but I don’t want that to alter any outcome from what the police can do. It’s also come to light other things I’d not been aware of. Everything I’ve seen so far from making the last 2 videos has been nothing but positive 🙂

Thanks Enoch. Malvern was just one of a long list of things that have been happening. I’ve reported every single one and together they all paint a picture of someone who is quite clearly not intent on leaving me alone. Ignoring didn’t work so this was my next step to stamp it out. As for fitness for longer miles. I feel a bit the same. I’m covering more miles but feel less fit. Marathon training gets the best of both for me but having reduced the faster stuff (still doing one or two speedier sessions a week) I do find that it’s getting harder to run at my old easy pace. If your training is still going ok, I wouldn’t rule out giving the 100k a go 🙂

I like that comment. They are not runners. I agree 🙂

Thank you both 😊 I’ve seen nothing but positivity and encouragement with running and UA-cam…. apart from this. Unfortunately it’s been something I didn’t ever think I’d have to go through but I don’t think this person will have the nerve to say or do anything again.

Thanks Donato. Unfortunately I noticed he’d left an untrue comment on one of your videos a while back.

Thanks for your comments Matt. I can’t say I’ve heard of anyone having to deal with anything negative through running. It goes on I’m sure, in the background but never first hand from my point of view. It’s felt like I’ve gone from zero to everything in a flash. Prior to this, I’ve not felt the need to avoid evening training alone or go anywhere I didn’t want to. I just think this is my sport and I’m doing it my way. Although I have the channel which I talk of races and training, I’ve avoided using things like starva or other media, to give me that privacy to keep my usual training routines safe. Regardless of what’s happened, I’d still like to keep myself safe on that score.

Thanks so much Cinthia. Out of all the people I’ve ever met through running, not one person has ever made me feel uncomfortable. Even all the years of training alone I’ve never been in a position where I’ve felt threatened. I know it’s out there, I just hadn’t had any experiences or witnessed anything for myself. I completely agree Stalking is a scary thing.

Thanks Steve. I’ve watched all the A100 videos out there (several times 😁) Can’t wait for me to be the one running and filming it.

Thank you 🙂

Thank you 🙏 Hopefully I can pick up the best prize in October 🙂

Thanks Roy. Hope you’re keeping well. My parents love to watch your videos. My dad was the one who asked about filming over on the new mappleborough green houses off Far Moor Lane 😊

Thank you. It’ll be my hardest block of endurance but hoping it’ll be enough to get the 100 mile in a day buckle 🤞

I’m not sure where my original reply went Geoff? It seems 4 or 5 replies were wiped off. If you didn’t see my original reply, I did write you one 😁 I’m actually feeling much better about heading off to races now. One thing these last couple of videos have done is give me the confidence to speak out.

Thanks for your support Eddie. It’s not been much fun wondering if I was going to see this person at an event. All my regular races, he’s been there and I’ve avoided some for that very reason. Although I felt worried at Malvern, I now feel the complete opposite. That’s why I’m not hiding my races anymore and happily share the events I’m planning on doing.

I think I feel safer now than I ever have. Not only with all the wonderful support and comments from the videos but equally I wouldn’t stay quiet if anything was to happen again.

Meant to write action

Thanks for your support 😊

Thank you for your support. Unfortunately this person has been at all but 1 of my races this year. Plus entered all my usual events. I decided to miss some of them because of the off chance he’d be there (and he was)

I’ve had to re-write some replies as UA-cam seems to have erased some of them. Not sure if you saw it before it went but just that I had replied 😊 Training’s going to plan but all the hard stuff is yet to come 😱

@@racheld1844 Glad to hear! Plus, my opinion, but training through summer is sometimes almost twice as successful for races in cooler weather. I struggle in the heat though 😂

@@divinist - one reason I never run an autumn marathon. Far too hot to train fast in the summer 🥵

Thanks James. Yep, really looking forward to getting stuck into some longer miles in the next few weeks. A couple of events planned to help get the volume up too 😁

Thanks Chris. I’ve got so much I can share with the training. My biggest problem is finding the time to film it 🤣

It’s been a journey for sure.

Hi Debra, I’m glad I’ve spoken out and kept the police updated with all the details. In hindsight, I wish I’d said something at Malvern but I froze and then I was just too cross to call him out. I just wanted to run and not think about it. I carry a camera at races to film so if anything was to happen, I’d just point it in his direction. I actually wore my camera on my pack that day but he was so sly in what he did, I didn’t catch it.
