@@MrSmokedTurkey - hi, yes, the bag pipe player was a pretty memorable part of that race. He (I’m assuming it was the same guy) was there this year but was having a moments rest when I passed so I didn’t get to hear him play 🎵

@@Wksfr - Hi, thanks for your comments. For me, I was able to build into a really good couple of years training and races after this video but I have a feeling my peak fitness may have passed also. Even maintenance now is hard going, let alone seeing any improvements. I try and reframe my expectations and look at where I am now with my times and if there’s an improvement on, say last month, then that’s a bonus. Looking back on best times can take the joy out of what the achievements are now. Also, I like to start each new year with a clean slate of times, so that then becomes my new benchmark for the year. Hope you manage to get comfortable with 22 mins again and then maybe head towards a sub 21. My biggest gains outside of running definitely come from strength training. Something I really don’t enjoy but know it’s the one thing that keeps my run times from crashing. So, if strength work isn’t something you’re already doing then I can definitely recommend adding some sort of program to your training.

@@lucas16dns hi, no there’s no button on the selfie stick to take a picture or start the recording. You can link up the camera with your phone, via the app, where you can control the camera.

@@Mack.Tracks -everyone raves about this one 😁 I like it but it still has a mini ‘hill’. It’s fast so expect a good time…. Good Luck! Plus, well done at Stratford yesterday 🙌

@@BeeHappy-xj5ze Hi SJ, luckily I’m actually really ok about not getting to finish. I’m more pleased that I stopped than carry on with the race. It certainly hasn’t made me want to give up trying. I did look to see if there was anything I could enter this year but time has run out for 100 events. With hopefully Rory back on board training, then we’ve got some plans for the first half of the year and we’ll see how that goes. We’re really hoping to get to some different LDWA events for sure. How is your training going? It’s not long till your race now is it? 🤔

Yeah, unfortunately I wasn’t turning around 🙂 Disappointed I didn’t finish but not unhappy with my decision to stop. How did your race go?

Yeah you will know what's right for you, those decisions are hard to make and you have to go with how you feel at the time. It's so easy to over analyse later on and make yourself feel worse. I managed to achieve the sub 24 and a lot of that was due to having a pacer who kept me moving during the night.

@@NazirKorimbocus - brilliant 🤩 well done on your time! I’d hoped that picking up my pacer would have helped me get through leg 3 but didn’t even get that far 🙄 Hope your recovery is going well and planning what’s next. I know I’m already looking at new races 🙂

@@JPLITTrainingLimited thank you 🙏

Unfortunately I didn’t finish. I stopped at 50 miles but everything’s ok 🙂

I pulled out, just wasn’t my day 🙁

@@racheld1844 aw I’m really sorry to hear this as I know how hard you’ve trained, but well done for making the start line and giving it your best.

You ok? 🙏

@@miriamsalo7123 Thanks Miriam 😊

@@samsonslaphead1 - thanks Kev 🙂 Everything is packed and ready to go 🤞

Thanks SJ 😊 Almost time 🏃🏼‍♀️

@@JPLITTrainingLimited thank you! I’ve enjoyed a couple of parkruns without filming but it was nice to take the camera out again 🙂

Thank you 🙏

Thanks Claire 🙏

Thanks both 🙏 I’ve not filmed a parkrun in a while so felt I should have an energetic start 😁 Running half my peak week mileage during that week certainly helped that day. Plus the trainers of course! Can’t wait to get to try them out again when I’m recovered. Which I have a feeling will be a while. The 50 has only just settled down and hitting double that mileage in one go might be a wipe out for a bit. I’m feeling a bit like when Dawn said how she felt the day(s) before Chester. Trying to rest but restless as well. Every dream is a race day disaster atm too 🤦🏻‍♀️

@@racheld1844 I'd focus on the vlogs where people have hit the Sub 24 so you get better dreams.

Thanks Donato. Yep, a brilliant trainer! and bargain because it was their older model. I’m still on a mission to get every last mile out of old trainers that getting new ones is a big deal 😁

Hi Geoff, thank you 😁 I’ve always found marathon training was a big boost to my shorter speed. I’d be doing 2-4 hard speed sessions a week. The difference this time is the volume was high but hardly any speed. I thought that would have a much bigger impact on slowing me down but I’ve now found it didn’t 🙂 I do wonder if it was the other cross training that could have given me that edge but it’s one of those things of I won’t know for sure.

Thanks Ian, last day at work today then a couple of days to try and relax a bit. Hope you had a good run at Alcester 🏃🏻

Hi Eddie. I’m not sure how much running I’ll be able to do for a good while after. The last time I covered that kind of distance it took me an age to get going again. If that’s the case this time, I might lose that edge I’ve gained. I’m appreciating my last couple of runs this week as they might be my last for a while. Depends how much damage Saturday’s run does to my body 😁

Hope you are ok Rachel? Was tracking you yesterday but can’t find you on list this morning.

@@PoetWithPace - I’m ok thanks Donato. I stopped at 50. Just not my day yesterday.

@@racheld1844 glad you are ok. We live to fight another day 👍🏼

Thanks Jenny 😊 Glad to hear you spotted yourself. Hope you had a good run that day?

Thanks Gary 😁 Still need these last few days to freshen my legs up. Probably ran too fast on Saturday and my legs have rebelled 😂

@@racheld1844 you'll be fine, you'll recover super quick. Just eat all the carbs :) Like I say - you'll smash it!!!!

Except your ultra shuffle is my speedwork day 😂 If I could ditch 2 things from my training, it would be strength training and speed work. Not my favourites but essential to stay strong.

Thanks Jess. I’m really pleased with the training block I’ve had. Only thing I’m missing was probably a bit more walking would have been good. Hope you’re recovering well. Looks like you had a great race with Harriet 😁

Aye some long hikes seems like a logical addition to ultra training when you're getting into the really long stuff. Recovery seems good so far! Went for a tiny test jog this morning and nothing seems out of place.
