This is the video my wife and I stumbled upon. Quite frankly it’s a work of genius. Now had a good binge on the back catalogue and some of the new “front” catalogue and very impressed. Love the videos. Keep going. I’m also a Middle Aged running man. Love running!!!
Well done. The lady in the wheelchair I pushed up the hill, in our local 6 k, finished before me! 40 mins without stopping. My first ever race aged 60.
Of course we noticed but all is right with the world M.A.R.M's back.Call me a sentimental old fool but l dont think l have ever seen a vlog that captures the magic and joy of the festive season as this video Have a great christmas and hopefully you will keep on with the great content in 2025.
Just found your channel and loving these Parkrun videos! I’ve just started running consistently in the last 6 months and clocked up 25 Parkruns this year. PB of 21:44 at present but 2025 is going to be “Operation Sub 20” and once at that stage, I’ll have a few local vulnerable Parkruns in my sights! 🏃🏻
Good job you didn’t turn up at Heaton Park. Guy beat the 11 year old course record in 14.46. By the time I finished in 18.14 (1st Vet 50) the winner had done his Xmas shopping and was ready for Xmas 🤣
Praying on the vulnerables, love it 🎉 My 1st female finisher history is twice at my local vulnerable parkrun on the Saturday before Christmas 2019 and 2023🎄 If we'd gone there yesterday me and my son could have gone for the double 1st but he wouldn't entertain me unfortunately 😂
Well done Tim. Glad to see you put both young JJ and PE Fred to the sword! Good decision to pick out a vulnerable Parkrun. Hopefully your nips survived the experience after your amateur error. Keep the videos coming - we’ve missed them over the last couple of weeks. Have a great Christmas. PS I hear garages now do a good range of last minute presents especially for loved ones.😅
Smashing watch , a vulnerable Parkrun great idea … JJ not even in sight at the finish, I ran at Poole last day of our short break … managed above average
Brilliant, off-beat, hilarious. And well done on on the win. Not sure the parkrun exec would understand and see the funny side if they watched this without viewing your back catalogue first. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas, keep up the great vids in ‘25. Saving my new Marm buff till New Year’s Day parkrun hoping everyone will be hungover and i get on the parkrun podium 😁
another great video tim , wishing you and the famiy a great christmas and happy new year fella , look forward to seeing what you get up to next year , and hopefully still rocking that great sense of humour , all the best mate
@ and merry Christmas to you to I still have hope I’ll bump into you at race one day I’m looking to do Oxford half this next year coming I’m focussing on half as want to do marathon in 2026
@@middleagedrunningman Tim, I'm really proud to have been there from the beginning and seen so many wonderful vlogs. From Broadway in the kitchen to weight loss and to where you are now. I remember when you weren't sure whether you'd carry on at one Christmas. I'm so glad you did. I look forward to every vlog and every adventure. Have a wonderful family Christmas and here's to a brilliant 2025 with you entertaining and inspiring people. Love it my friend.
My local park run at Long eaton is very quick and flat. The other week a load of elites turned up. Put it this way the guy that ran 16:35 came 14th. 😂 winner did a 15:40. Not one for a hijack but a potential for a PB. I romped home in a rather respectable 29:31 to finish in 286th place. So not too far behind the leaders 😂
Hi MARM. Love the content, disappointed by the end of the loft conversion chat. Can you let me know where you found the parkrun pic from of runners in festive outfits at 4:27? My Dad is front and centre and he is no longer with us, so was lovely to see him pop up. Keep up winning parkruns, love it!
We had our parkrun in Ontario yesterday with the wind chill of -25. No thoughts of cancelling and the 25 people who turned up " enjoyed " it. This could be your next vulnerable parkrun. First finisher did it in 24.35! Did I mention that it was cold?
I thought I was your perfect demographic as a white 53 year old runner… then I see two teenagers shouting out “Hi Marm!” … I’m obviously not!! Live long and seek out the vulnerable! Happy Xmas! 😂
These younger runners - no idea how to pace a race (err cough cough parkrun) and you don't even need to strip off from a long sleeved top. Quality raiding !
Didn’t need to strip off for that raid. Thanks for the support Tim. Youth or experience? I’d take youth. Probably. Loving your videos my friend. Excited to see you in 2025!! Have a great Christmas!!
@@middleagedrunningman they say age is only a number but why at 58 am I a relative snail compared to when I was 29 or less :) 5 years for me since been first take a token at parkrun. That said you have given me inspiration to maybe correct that. Off to look at parkruns with no other runners ...
Using parkruns as an excuse.. Tut tut but you seem to have become parkrun guy (shaking head sadly and thinking the word disappointing) M. A. R. M has been sucked in by the evil... Very worrying 😢
I overslept this Saturday morning. I was absolutely fuming when I found out the winning time at my local parkrun was well shit this weekend
Stings doesn’t it?
I live by the motto "I don't go to parkrun to meet people, I go to parkrun to beat people" lol 😅
Everyone has to live by a code.
The running man’s Alan Partridge…..🏃♂️🥸
But............I hear Alan's got a sub 16 in his back pocket.
Lovely lovely stuff.
Soon to be banned from all park runs and left to be seen shouting from the car park “Let me do another park run bitch”….
One of the only channels where every video makes me laugh, keep it up, love the content
Thanks Andy. Delighted with that!
This is the video my wife and I stumbled upon. Quite frankly it’s a work of genius. Now had a good binge on the back catalogue and some of the new “front” catalogue and very impressed.
Love the videos. Keep going.
I’m also a Middle Aged running man. Love running!!!
From one MARM to another.
Thanks for watching and liking Sam.
Hope the back catalogue isn’t too irritating.
Share with likeminded friends!!
@ we love it. A lot of shared experiences and outlooks between us both.
The videos are fantastic and inspiring and I have already been sharing!
Four hours with Nigella AND winning the race….that’s some stamina!
Merry Christmas.
Long night!! Merry merry!!
Well done. The lady in the wheelchair I pushed up the hill, in our local 6 k, finished before me! 40 mins without stopping. My first ever race aged 60.
Not to be sniffed at James
Quality running, Tim! Showing the young guns and the PE department how its done!
Losers Dave. All losers.
@ gorillas with A levels! And as for the PE teachers…
The ‘parkrun predator’ is your serial killer name 😂
Have a good one Tim and thanks for the laughs over the year 👏🏽
Thanks Amjid. Cheers for the support mate.
Of course we noticed but all is right with the world M.A.R.M's back.Call me a sentimental old fool but l dont think l have ever seen a vlog that captures the magic and joy of the festive season as this video Have a great christmas and hopefully you will keep on with the great content in 2025.
It’s a Wonderful Parkrun?
This embodies the true spirit of Christmas 🎅🏼
Thanks Sarah. Wanted to get it just right…
The Grinch who stole parkrun 😂
Love the content and your humour
Thanks Liam…. Have a great Christmas!
That distinctive MARM humour bodes well for more in 2025. Keep ‘em coming !
Will keep trying Hearty!! Love to you and Bridge at Christmas!
Another good parkrace! I must get in on the vulnerable parkrace act
You really have to Stephen. Too honourable!
That's the way to end a year, well done Marm!
Happy New Year Tom.
Merry Christmas MARM, lol 😝.
Love the Greg Wallace joke lmao 😂.
Thanks Dave. Right up your street!!
😂😂 love it. Just the type of running content that's missing from UA-cam. Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Matt!! Merry Christmas!
I hope you have a great Christmas and I look forward to more MARM videos in 2025.
Thanks Michael. And to you. Thanks for watching!
"Parkrun predator": you need help! Funny AF though, love it! Well done on your win and fair play to JJ.
Thanks Drew.
Parkrun Predator sounds terrible…..
Thanks for all your content this year 🎉. Happy Christmas 🎄👍🏃🏻♂️
Thanks David! Cheers for the support and Happy Christmas!
Tinsel vs Carbon. They had no chance. You monstered it - fly the W with pride
Absolutely. Fail to prepare….
Thanks for putting my lads (the Young Marmers) in- it's made their day! All the best for 2025!
Great to meet you Aron! Thanks for the recommendation! Your lads were great.
“Grind their faces into the festive dirt”😂😂😂
You beat me to it. Quote of the week
Bit much??
Should be ashamed of yourself Stephen.
@@middleagedrunningman I’m far too old to be ashamed. Anyway I’m reporting you to the parkrun police for racing a community event…
Have a feeling you might have to get in the queue of complainants….
I have noticed the hiatus, missed the videos. Good to see you back and merry Christmas 🎄
Thanks Busb. Merry Christmas mate!
Congratulations on your 1st place. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy New year 🎊🎊. Thanks for all your effort over the year.
Thanks NarrowBoat!! Merry Christmas!!
Congrats, Marmie!! Finally a 5K first! Happy Holidays for sure.

Another great win in a race that is not a race!
Have an awesome Christmas
Thanks for watching and being so nice!!

Well done Tim! In stitches as usual! Hope you have a fantastic Christmas mate and catch you in 2025.
Thanks Andy. RD again yesterday?? Best in the biz. Happy Christmas mate!

And to you Paul. See you in 2025. Thanks for your support.
Have a fantastic Christmas to your whole family. Look forward to your future videos 🎄🏃♂️🎄🏃♂️
Thanks Tel, Merry Christmas
Great video as usual Tim.
Try Newport Pagnell (Bury Fields) the winner this week finished in a time of 19:26 with only 44 runners.
Very very vulnerable Jonathan!! Thanks for your support this year.
@ it’s a pleasure. One of these days we will have a beer!
You're so angry 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Have a great Christmas, MARM. Hope to see you at Arrow Valley Parkrun soon.

Woodgate Valley was were we ran our school cross country, which I used to win, I guess it's almost the same feeling 🤔
Very, very similar Ben.

You may have mentioned it Dave.
Keep me a space in Ontario, it would genuinely be a life’s ambition to run there.
Have a nice one Stent
Utterly utterly brilliant 2024 mate
Looking forward to.2025
Thanks Stephen!! Thanks for your support, means a lot. Have a great Christmas!
A splendidly planned and executed heist Marm,but I fear a counter the Marm heist movement may be hatching, so trust no one
Cheers Eddy. Like Hatton Garden.
Have a great Christmas
This was me over the summer… I managed 7 P1’s in about 3 months just by picking the right weeks around the Nottingham/Derby area
Curable East Midlands areas…. Canny.
beat a chap in the finish straight, when the results came out I noted he was in the 80-84 age category 😂
Victory tastes sweet.
Well done, but it doesn’t seem right without a loft update. Happy Christmas
It’s a wounder. Still not finished. Life in that story yet….
More exciting and engaging than 'Sprint' on Netflix 😯I wonder what your mother-in-law makes of you? 🤔🤭Happy Christmas MARM
Tough question to answer Susan…. Will get her on MARM one week…. Thanks for the support this year! Happy Christmas
Top parkracing Marm 👍
Thanks Greavsie!! Have a great Christmas.
Soo funny! Wallace is known as “bent head” in our house 🤣
Freddy!! Yep, it was always the noggin that did it for me.
Nice!

Sorry Freddy. It’s was just a one time thing. Meant nothing.

Sergio hasn't won at babbs mill on his last 3 outings, not since your win there. Maybe he can't cope with the competition?
He’s toying with the Babbs crowd. Moment I rock up, the after burners will get lit….
