Great video mate and great run. The point of Crampfix is that it tastes bad. For some reason, having something that tastes bad temporarily alleviates cramp. The leading theory is that cramp is a neuromuscular protection mechanism: your brain stops your legs from working properly to stop you running yourself to death. Ultramarathoners often have a sachet of mustard when they get cramp. Have tried it and it works instantly. Crampfix obviously goes for a similar strategy. Maybe the awful taste diverts mental resources away from the legs and towards the mouth (maybe the brain thinks it's being poisoned...), but I don't think anyone knows conclusively yet. But cramp is just a symptom of being undertrained (it's not dehydration or lack of electrolytes). If you've done the training (very long runs at fast paces), your body won't need to activate the protection mechanism.

Great channel, you should try Perry Hall Parkrun.

AH! Racing your camera's battery life. Relatable. A good reason for running faster :)

It's only a matter of time until you get it. Keep training.

Somehow missed this. What a brilliant effort after such a lay off...that finish too!!

Where do you buy your shoes?

I am a vinted running shoe man myself 😅 There's so much out there and some are bloody expensive and not worth buying to find out there not right for me so that's where vinted comes in. Picked up some right bargains too .. a few duds aswell along the way but hey ho. Stick them back on vinted 😂

Why stop at 7?! Go for the full 31 pairs so you can have 1 pair for every day of the month 😂

Are you Running Adventures in disguise? I think you might have more than me!

Great stuff Mack - some bargains there! Also a Vinted fan, got a few running tops and leggings off there too - cheaper and better for the environment… what’s not to like?! (Until you over do it 😅)

Why did you have to make this video? I'm in recovery and just swore I wouldn't buy any more shoes 😂 Best deal I got with FB marketplace + Ebay was Adios Pro 3 for £75. Vinted seems like a whole other level of bargain hunting. Thank you, but I also hate you.

I have a Vinted problem too…. I can’t stop selling stuff 😂

BTW what adidas UK size do you take? I am UK 13.5 which is the same US 14 or 32 cm as Nike UK 13. Annoyingly the Sen 10 and now Adios Pro 4 only seem to come in their UK 13 or 14 which is like the non existent UK 12.5 or UK 13.5 in say Nike. Anyway have ordered a UK 13 in the Adios Pro 4. Will have to see if feels a bit short 0.5 less than normal.

Excellent stuff 👏👍 some beautiful bargains there. Well done 😁

What UK size did you say you are? I look on Vinted at shoes waaaay too much.

Wow those prices are amazing. Must download and have a look.. or maybe I should resist 😬

You get mega bargains Mack due to your mahoosive shoe size 🛶 😂 Tell you what though , the bostons are a great trainer . Use mine for long runs and tempo / parkruns . You got some great buys there 👍🏻

Great bargain hunting 👌 You sure you don't need just a couple more pairs....? 😅

Some great deals in there. I've got the same Marathon schedule as you in 2025! Manchester followed by Chicago. What are the chances!

My purchases this year all new Hoka Mach 6 brooks Hyperion max 2 brooks ghost max Hoka cielo x1 on cloud surfer next Hoka challenger ar7 and also the Mach x and you think you have a problem haha

I didn't realise you were running barefoot before 🤣🤣 You're fully stocked now with some epic choices made in there 😍😍

I think I need to join the Vinted hype- I'm actually in the market for new trainers 😅

Im doing a clear out of my shoes, all on tinted. Better they go to a good home and get some of the cash back.....easier than eBay!

Ah some decent shoes there at a decent price. Did I hear right you are UK 13 in the Vaporfly 2 - same as me.

Well done on a great 2024, and I'm sure there will be plenty more to come in 2025. I'll be at Manchester in April too, and will be watching Chicago - one of my favourite of the Majors!

Thanks for posting the video. I'm also having sub 20 and I know how difficult it seems. Keep at it and you'll get it soon.

Great vid mate ! Just made sub 20 todays parkrun for the first time too. Keep up the good work !

1st time watching your channel well done breaking 20 bring on sub 19.

Loved Manchester this year, sub 4 also, 3:59:40 😜 Great channel, enjoy Chicago, should be amazing! I've planned Milton Keynes and Frankfurt. Happy New Year and best wishes for 2025.

Chicago!!!! Amazing Mack!!! Well Jell.

not the intended result, but me and im sure others appreciate the raw content, from fails to successes you put out there for us to view, it'll come mate, keep strong <3

insanely underrated

Well done Mack what an amazing effort 🎉

Couple of half marathons this year and who knows- Maybe an autumn marathon? Great work in 2024 Mack and great goals for 2025 🎉

So chuffed for you mate ,great video ,even better running 👍👟💪

Ooooh, a trip along the canal very soon 🤔🤔🤔…. Wonder if it’s the same day as us 😁

I think you broke Ben 😂 Great running guys. Congrats on a really good year of running, Mack, and all the best for the new year 👍

A great year of running for you and big things already book for next year, exciting indeed. Don’t think I could manage 2 marathons in a year just yet but I am also running Manchester marathon this year. I will start a 15week training block soon. Looking forward to following your training journey and may even see you there! Happy new year!

I’ll also be running Manchester marathon this year, which is both exciting and terrifying (first marathon ever)! I’ve been watching your channel since I signed up in September and watched your video on the hill at Altrincham. Just wanted to say that the content you put out is so fun to watch. You have a lovely calming presence. Good luck with all your goals!

Congratulations 🎉 I knew it was coming. Great to have that monkey off your back.

Congratulations on the first sub-20 parkrun! Also, congratulations on this lovely video. I can only imagine how frustrated you were when you discovered the footage of the event was missing, but the retrospective storytelling and after the event footage probably made this a more engaging video than a standard POV video. Well done on both counts!

Absolutely incredible 🎉🎉 amazing work buddy 🎉

Brilliant effort mate! And your storytelling was more than good enough to make up for the lost footage so it still made a great video too.

Awesome work dude, after last week, that is so well earned and I can only imagine the frustration when it wasn’t on camera. The Go 3/3s has some weird freezing thing it does with the old firmware- double check you have the latest one as that fixed it, I too found out the hard way! If you’re ever down Sussex way let’s get a parkrun or race in together!

199 is the highest I've ever seen. You need to do a video where you try to get to 200. Maybe up that long hill in Malvern?

Brilliant! Well done, great run

Well done! Don't worry, you did everything right. All the best runners take it out fast and see how far they can hold on. You went for it, and one day soon you will suddenly be able to hold on! All the best

Congrats, it's a big milestone! Sounds like the 6 days of no running may have worked, tapers are underrated!

Yessss!!! Absolutely incredible achievement ⭐🎯 A brilliant way to end the year 🙌 SO deserved

Great video and huge congrats. What a great way to end the year, well done! The same happened to me with my sub 20 attempt. Watch and Strava had me at 20 dead. I had to wait until the afternoon for the official result 😂 Plan is to try and run sub 20 more consistently next year.
