Adam, great video. I had the same "wow" reaction when I saw the valley around the corner. It was the first time I did that race. I liked watching the people running, who were ahead. I am glad you filmed it.
I know a few people who would disagree with this. But yeah let’s let the sport I love fail to evolve and be lost in time and troll each other online instead, far more productive.
@dwell it's just my opinion, I'm not trolling you. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're trolling you. Everyone I know who's has been around fell racing for more than a couple years agrees with me - but that's only anecdote just like yours - and include multiple Fell champions past and present as well as other legends of the sport you'll be familiar with. It's an evolution away from the core tenants of the sport we love. To my eyes, it's a way for individuals to commodify fell running just like everything else is commodified now. In a seperate angle, whats the point in entering a race if you're not racing? Just taking up another place? What about races that fill up with people who want to race not able to because of gopro look at me runners.
@@runwithme9643 sorry I misunderstood as you stated your opinion as fact. Your opinion sounds a bit elitist to be honest, the hills are for sharing. With regards to “taking the place of serious racers” yeah well let me know when a fell race sells out. I make these videos for the art and to share the fells with people who might not be able to make the races themselves. Also pretty offensive to assume I’m not ‘racing’. Perhaps I’m like many entering races to improve my fitness, so I can race an A Race later down the line. Anyway, I’ve given you far too much thought, thanks for watching.
@@AdamNodwell fell races sell out ALL the time, are you kidding? What of every single champs race and almost all the classic short/mediums along with other popular races. I agree, the hills are for sharing but this is a race, go race it, your performance would be even better if you got your head down and forgot about promoting yourself to an external audience. You aren't racing if you're busy videoing too. Commit fully, you'll go faster and get fitter too. Finally, I think your video quality is excellent in terms of editing and in general capture. You're clearly skilled at it and have a great eye. I simply don't think it's the place to do it for multiple reasons. And many others agree. It's simply not culturally fell running.
Looks like you really enjoyed it,great scenery.Hopefully see you at rhe Coledale Horseshoe👍😁

Awesome running Adam and beautiful footage too . Well done to everyone .
Fabulous views out there. Best wishes on the next.
Looks doable! Love the ‘ah it’s great owl running’ chat
Looks a great race. Might need to add it to my calendar for next year. Looking forward to the 3 peaks, my fifth this year.
love that view at around 8:10!
Loved it great runing and scenery can't find the link for your merchandise
Thanks for flagging! - here - greatowlrunning.com/shop
Videoing mid race means you're not really racing. And you're likely annoying those around you. It's just not fell running.

@@AdamNodwell P.S. I hold no ill will to you personally. I disagree with the self promotion of ones self using fell racing as a means to do it.
