  • Glad this week to have Sister Mandy back with me on our parkrun adventures. This week, we travelled to Stamford Park Parkrun to enjoy their 400th event. A hilly one which was felt in the legs off the back of a hill session Friday evening and some bike work this week to try and up the volume. Anyways, hope you enjoy this one.

    Just had a surgery done to fix a deviated septum. I haven’t been able to run for over half a year, because my septum was so off, I’d get a nasty sinus infection almost every time I tried to do so. Watching your videos is keeping me inspired and excited to get back out there once I’m recovered!

      Oh I'm sorry to hear that. I truly hope you are back out running soon, I know exactly what it's like. First day of lockdown I fractured my fibula. I took to youtube and relied heavily on it during that time and when I started getting mobile again as recovery I found other youtube parkruns to walk and jog to. Helped me massively and is to sole reason I started doing these videos. Thank you for sharing and being part of the R-Whale family x

    Cheers Craig. Welcome back, Mandy. 🎉🎉
    Awesome video of what looks a testing course. Plenty of elevation and a few steps to add to the fun. It does look a really nice park.
    Yeah, 10x hill sprints the day before this parkrun is indeed pretty crazy. 🤣😆
    I've not ever done hill reps in training but we are all different and it’s about what works for you.
    Thanks again. Keep up the great work.

      Thanks Colin it was a great place to run and the trail sections weren't so bad I worried for my ankles lol. Think we were a bit lucky with the weather too, clouds started leaking afterwards.
      I don't mind hill Sprints as a rule, nice and easy run for the most part with essentially 5 mins work bit it's 5 very hard mins lol.
      Thank you for watching as always pal

    Well done mate. A great effort on a lumpy course and with less than fresh legs. When you went round the corner onto the roadside path at 7:30/mile i was half expecting you to go over the barrier 🤣 well done mate. And good to see Mandy back and making herself useful with the ET finger.

      Hahaha the ET 👉 was hilarious my camera has two versions of a number of pictures one with it and one without 😄
      Was a bumpy parkrun but the down and flat sections were a very welcome part, would definately go again.
      Cheers for watching pal 👍

    That lady in blue who passed you on the first big downhill, did a great job of getting the runners in front to move aside and let you both past. I could do with someone like that to lead me round the course every time 😅
    Excellent running on heavy legs mate, after the hill sprints!
    The ET finger from sister Mandy's pointing was hilarious 😂

    • @TheRunningWhale
      @TheRunningWhale  Місяць тому +1

      Yeah she was a great addition to the run to be honest, and would be a handy addition to anyone's parkrun or races 🤣
      Thank you, been feeling it today but we plod on and keep moving 👊 speaking of which, looking forward to seeing your outing at today's race, proper speedy 🏃‍♂️🏆
      Yeah there's always additional calamity with the addition of Sister Mandy. The ET finger is just one of an endless list of funnies. It's a wonder we actually make it to these events 🤣🤣

      Haha cheers. Yeah I toyed with the idea but thought I'd sit in behind and embrace the draft instead (that and my legs were cooked 😄)

    Hi Craig, you did well to do 25:10 when you had to make your way through the pack💪You refreshed my memory of the course, it’s quite a “traily” course. Love the branded hats, very professional😀Glad to see Sister Mandy back in the fold😀

    • @TheRunningWhale
      @TheRunningWhale  Місяць тому +1

      Cheers Andy. Yeah it was lumpy underfoot too which we all know is not my favourite with having glass ankles 🤣 Glad it was just twigs and leaves on the ground, it it was tree roots this would have been a completely different video.
      Sister mandy was pleased with her cap (which im loving) but gutted she missed meeting you last week, think she'd have preferred that 😂

      Thank you. Yeah they seemed to be enjoying the moment, I was happy hanging back and not floor it, not sure my legs had much more left In them to be fair
