@@IRunDaily It was yesterday, I’ve left a comment about that in your latest video😊

Thanks Mark, I did see a +14 last year when I was training for the ‘23 Manchester Half but it didn’t translate into super quick times😂

@@alldone1116 Thanks very much Tony, I look forward to seeing you and Mandy, that’ll be a welcome lift at a key point😀

@@AndyCliffMTB I'll bring a chair 🤣

@@alldone1116 Great, i do that when I marshal at Parkrun, reckon I’ll be reaching that 13K point at 1110-1120 if we set off at 0954 as planned🤔

@@AndyCliffMTB Just enjoy it buddy you'll love it

@@theaverageparkrunner Thanks for watching Paul, it certainly was, I started too far back😊

Thanks for watching Craig, yes, he just wasn't concentrating I think, I only remembered how close he was to crossing my path during the edit. Thanks re Sunday, I'll do my best, you'll see how I do on Strava. Finishing is my aim:)

@@raleyadventures Thanks guys, I’m looking forward to Sunday but I’m really apprehensive too as I’ve really not trained for it, 5K per week does not qualify as HM training😂

@@AndyCliffMTB you just tapered a lot more than usual that's all 🤫😂 you'll be fine, just fuel well 🔥🔥

I’m just going to get out there and see what happens😀

@@edwilson5416 I quite enjoyed it but the weather was perfect and I was happy that my pace was improving. Where’s your favourite?

@AndyCliffMTB Richmond park in London, a beautiful one lapper. Hackworth in Co Durham is the friendliest. Also got soft spot for Mount Stuart on isle of Bute where I came first and my local one at Buxton which is in a very attractive town park.

@@edwilson5416 Thanks for those recommendations Ed, I’ve actually done Mount Stuart and Buxton (I did a video of Buxton but Mt Stuart was before I started YT)😊

@AndyCliffMTB I'm featured in your Chadderton video. The one who says 'are you putting this on youtube?'.

@@edwilson5416 Ah, yes I remember that😀I had a great morning at Chadderton, a lovely Autumn morning although I was absolutely exhausted at the finish😂

@@sagsdothedu Thanks for watching, hairpins are always a pain but if you set off near the front it’s a PB course no question. 18 minutes is rapid!🚀

@@jennyharrison4 Thanks Jenny, I’m really a bit apprehensive with the lack of running mileage since June but I’ll have a good go at it🚂 It was you that I was referring to in the video, I saw it on Strava, what a great idea to do that😀

@@AndyCliffMTB brilliant! Thanks for that 😃

@@SwimBikeRunStu I really have no idea what will happen on Sunday😂

@@RunFreeandStrong Thanks Reto, I love my tourist Parkruns. Regarding the Manchester Half, you probably know I haven’t really done proper training because of the PF so I’m just hoping I can make it to the finish line🙏😊

@@raleyadventures Yes, that’s why I felt I had to give it that title😊The only downside was getting soaked wet through☔️Thanks for watching guys😊

@@AndyCliffMTBhaha you should be used to that in the UK 😂

@@raleyadventures You’d think so but I hardly ever get wet at Parkrun or when racing, it’s bizarre😊

@@jennyharrison4 Thanks Jenny, those guys were off the charts with the cheering😀The hill was not super steep but 2K on a constant incline is hard⚙️😩Appreciate your support😀

@@lindalou8308 Hi Linda, thank you, to be honest, once.id swapped my shoes and socks and ditched my cap, the running top and long johns dried out fairly quickly and I wore my cycling top over that to keep warm. Next time I’ll take a change of clothes if the forecast looks uncertain😊

Thanks for watching Reto, I’ve never had a problem with those laces in 250km, it must have been the wet conditions. I’m doing ok although the lack of running to help my heel is what has made me unsure about the Manchester Half. I’m hoping the other exercise I’m doing will be enough😊

@@TheRunningWhale I know Craig, but it’s true, it’s the same on my morning dog walk, I rarely get caught out😀I like to be creative with my thumbnails and I think it’s the Welsh ones who have graffiti in small villages and parks. As things stand, I’m going to go for it😊Only bad weather will dissuade me😊

@@theaverageparkrunner Thanks Paul, it was a proper drenching but the Parkrun crew were so enthusiastic which gave everyone a lift😊When are we going to see more videos from you?

​​@@AndyCliffMTBNot sure to be honest. I have been enjoying doing them without filming, and haven't been anywhere new in a while. Also haven't run at all recently due to more knee problems. It seems to be feeling better today though so think I will attempt one of my local parkruns tomorrow.

@@theaverageparkrunner Sorry you’re still struggling with your knees, I miss your videos😊

@@markg99 You’re right Mark, I think I am, it’s perfect for me and I can get my mtb in easily (Lexus was do-able but a squeeze)😊. And you’re right on the UK, I once did a one year analysis, dry for 2 out of 3 days😀

Hi Reto, thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the experience. My time was a bit of a disappointment as I hadn't ever run slower than 56 minutes in a 10K before - however I knew at 3/4K that I just didn't have the energy so decided to capture as many of the sights and sounds as possible for the video and forego the time. We also hooked up with some London-based athletes in Albert Schloss bar afterwards and we had an absolute blast. I love being amongst runners, everyone is equal no matter how fast you are!

@@MattRuns Hi Matt, really appreciate you watching and your positive comments, I love running events especially and being amongst others, enjoying the moment, “we’re only here once” I often say😊

@@jennyharrison4 Thanks Jenny, all told, it was a fantastic experience, and I’ll be sure to let Rob know😊Thanks for your support😊

@@markg99 Many thanks Mark, it took ages to stitch it all together but I decided to film more when I realised sub-60 was slipping away. I think I’ll return next year, I can do so much better if I’m trained and prepared😊 Shoes, I quite enjoyed the trail race in July so it’s just a question of what to get, so much choice, brands and models😩I’m thinking of Mizuno Wave Rider 28 for the road shoe, they’re just a bit expensive at the moment😊

Thanks Ian, as I lined up at the start I honestly thought I’d be around 55 minutes, but at 4K it just wasn’t happening and the cramp was a real surprise🙁I’m in two minds on Manchester as I have cut my mileage back so much to help the plantar healing🤔

Thanks Rich, we got away with the weather for sure and I’d intended to film every 2K but with my lack of training I struggled and decided to film a lot more and capture the sights and sounds of the race. I think I need to get myself fit again and return for a good PB in 2025😊💪

@@AndyCliffMTB hopefully see you there 👍

@@abitrich68 Sounds great Rich😀

Thanks Craig, even though we were concerned about the weather, it really was The Great Escape as I said on camera before the race😅I love events like this and I decided to film more than planned when I just wasn’t feeling strong. I think there’s unfinished business here with 1:06 on the board😂 Appreciate your support and hope the injury is healing🙏

@@tazcave-caulfield1779 You too Taz, have you done your half marathon yet?

@@raleyadventures Thanks for watching guys, yes, we had pretty good weather too for the UK😊On the way back from London after Vitality 10K😊

@@TheRunningWhale Cheers Craig, it’s a lovely location for a Parkrun and we had perfect weather for it last week😊

@@edwilson5416 Hi Ed, thanks for watching and appreciate your concern. To aid the healing I’ve also cut back my running volume by 75% since June, just the Parkrun every Saturday and all the other exercise is aquafit, gym, swim or bike. As I said, I have seen a gradual improvement in the heel, especially over the last month but it always seems achy after laser. I’m not sure I could manage without my weekly Parkrun fix and the last few times, no pain during or after the run, the only concern is my lack of running-specific fitness so I do think I’m getting there😊

@@alldone1116 Hi Tony, thanks for watching and thanks for your advice and confidence in my ability to get these done😊I’m done with the laser now, I’ll just let it heal itself. It’s 10 months now since it started so last time it took 12 months so let’s hope 2025 is a fresh start🙏You’re right about races and crowd support but no matter what I’ll focus on enjoying the moment😊

@@raleyadventures Thanks, also did you see the part where I asked people to estimate my times, any thoughts?😊

@@AndyCliffMTB i did indeed ☺️ I didn't want to get it massively out 😅😂😂

As long as you didn’t say over 60 and over 2 3/4 hours I wouldn’t be offended😂

@@RunFreeandStrong Thanks Reto, I’m getting close now😊Appreciate your good wishes for London😊

@@jennyharrison4 Thanks Jennifer, I’d be very happy with 54, as regards the 1/2, I think 1:55 - 2:05 is very optimistic. I’ll focus on enjoying the events and see what happens😊

@@RunFreeandStrong Hi Reto, thanks for your advice and support as ever, well, for London, 52 would be great but I’ll be happy with sub-55. And Manchester, I very much doubt sub-2, I was hoping for 2:00-2:15 last October but I’d put in some solid training at that point. Regarding rest, I might have to do that, certainly no more laser😊

@@markg99 Hi Mark, the thing is, I’ll never know if it helped because I struggled from Nov-Jun without improving🤔It’s cost me about £450 now, no more laser now, it was worth a shot😢

@@clare9695 Thanks Clare, good advice, the thing is that it’s not been too bad the last week or so and fine at last weekend’s Parkrun but it seems to be slightly uncomfortable after the laser treatment. I’ll be icing after London and I will take it easy in Manchester, I feel like I should do it as I had to cancel it last October because I caught COVID🙁

@@TheRunningWhale Cheers Craig, the running conditions were ideal, the drizzle helped😊I’ve been doing a longer Monday gym session for the last few weeks and that may have helped but you can’t replace actual running🙁I know they do operate 2 funnels but I think there was only one that day (just over 600 runners). Thanks for your support😀

@@IRunDaily Thanks for watching Ian, I was hoping it’d be flat but it wasn’t, I really had to work to maintain my pace from 4K, I’m just not doing the running mileage at the moment 🙁

@@IRunDaily Thanks Ian, I think it’s getting better, I did Tetbury on Saturday and it seemed fine on Sunday morning, usually I’ll feel pain the day after so I’m hoping it’s fine for London on Sunday🙏
