    What do you think about when you run? Would you ever take on a challenge like this? Let us know in the comments below!

    • @iberiksoderblom
      @iberiksoderblom 3 роки тому

      Yes, but I can't talk to a camera, while running...
      Do the G300 come in a wider option ?

    • @DanRuns
      @DanRuns 3 роки тому +2

      Absolutely! Challenges like this i'd love to take on. I talk to camera to film for UA-cam. 50 miler at the end of May for me!

      Panama Canal - 51 miles - they don't let anyone swim it any more, not just because you'd have to complete it in 8 hours but because there are crocodiles in Gatun Lake...

  • @Tara_Masika

    My new favourite video on the Running Channel. I love Allie to bits. She is an inspiration and just so funny. Would love to go for a run with her and just chat rubbish for miles on end. Great collab folks!

  • @stapo101
    @stapo101 3 роки тому +19

    I think this might be my first ever YT comment but i felt the need. I have been watching the Running Channel for about a year and a half now and always love your videos. But I felt the need to come on here and say Allie was fantastic! Such charisma and character. She has a new fan here for sure. I understand she mainly runs to help with mental health and I know that reading YT comments is generally the last thing that anyone should do if they care about their mental health but I hope she gets to read the comments here and know that she has brightened peoples day and no doubt inspired many.

    • @runningchannel

    Anyone that can be lost in freshly ploughed fields, after all weathers, and many many miles, and still get in a 90’s dance classic with ‘on course, off course, on course, off course... “on course une fois”’ deserves all the respect and Rosé it’s possible to give!

    I love this woman.She is so relatable.I mean what she says not how far she runs.I can run nearly a mile and a half in half an hour but she makes me feel that the speed doesn't matter which is really comforting for slow runners like me.

  • @SimonBerry
    @SimonBerry 3 роки тому +2

    It's just science...... My new favourite phrase for slowing it down and going further.
    I have been trying to get into the ultra mentality of not worrying to much about pace, but it is hard to not over think it :-)
    More Allie please.

  • @alisonmiller9488

    Fantastic, absolute legend. Stand up (running) comedian. When I saw the first shot I thought I know that place. Then found out it was Pocklington where I did my A Level Geography coursework a long long time ago. Good memories.
