This morning my right ankle was noticeably swollen, felt like I sprained it. Been hobbling around. Felt better after standing outside for an hour volunteering at parkrun. Guess what I am going to do now?
I've definitely had lunch with non running friends and said "yeah, I decided to run a little half marathon this morning." They looked at me in horror.
😂😂😂
*raises hand*
Guilty.
😂
We all know this one: "I'm never doing this again" (on your first half marathon, your first marathon, etc)
I love starting a parkrun by saying “just one parkrun left to go”.
😅
I was terribly disappointed after my very first 10k race, with 9.8k on my watch😥. My family at the finish line didn't understand why I kept running after the finish line. Nothing worse then runs with a not "round" km distance😀
This can become a Neverending problem too! Once I get to 5 miles I think "well 6 isn't much further" and then it's "well 10k is only another half mile" and then you might as well go up 7, and at that point let's just go to 10, and now you're close to a half-marathon...
I used to do only HR zone training, but at one point I decided to go by feel (I was mentally exhausted by constantly checking my watch to see if I'm in the right zone). During the transition period, I'd go out with my friends and say something like, "I ran with no heart rate today, it felt so good!" They will probably never let me live it down lol
Very funny. The watch says I am unproductive…I know that one so well. It’s like being married, but the watch has all the power, and makes no compromises!
I once left a board games night at 9pm and casually said I fancied running a half marathon when I got home. Non running friends are horrified. Sure enough I ran 36 laps of my 600m college field when I got back 😅🏃🏻♀️
Hilarious! I've been a runner for over 35 years and have said and experienced most of these things. Also my must watch tv prog is the weather forecast.
5:15 I did this yesterday. Finished my run so far from my house. The walk back sucked. Felt like ordering an Uber 😂😂😂
I'm definitely in with my Garmin hating me. No matter how much effort I put in it always finds a way to put the knife in.
Merry Christmas everybody. 🥳
Merry Christmas Michael! 🎅
Ditto. My Forerunner 245 has stopped declaring my runs "unproductive" and started advising me to take extended recoveries. This morning, as I lined up for parkun, it was advising "17 hours" because: "poor sleep"; on finishing it advised a 52 hour recovery. Reason: "delayed by high activity"!
Meanwhile, the app is suggesting I up my training load.
Not sure what to do as I am not getting anything like enough speed or endurance training at present. Ho hum.
Hahaha, I got so fed up with garmin being so condescending I paused the Training status from garmin 😅 Like shut up I'm out here running, thats good for me is it not?! 😂
When my calf was hurting after a half marathon I said to my friend’ ‘ It’s not too bad, I have had much worse than this before, I will be running again in a few days.’
EIGHT weeks later… ‘should manage a Park Run next week’ ……
Me: "I'm glad it's Summer, I hate running in the rain"
Also me: "I'm glad it's raining today. I like a challenge"
As soon as summer goes and the warm weather goes you feel so happy and excited to not run while sweating like crazy and then 5 days later after a 3 day storm it goes straight back to you miss summer
Yeah, the military has a similar thing of getting overly(questionable) personable when it came to PT. There was a saying I heard my commander say once when we were crawling through mud just for fun, "Shared suffering breeds comradery." Which I found to be true, and I think its why people tend to feel close to others who they run with. There's something about struggling in the company of others that brings you closer.
oh I am the running research one!!!!! I look at the profile, similar races, videos on youtube, books, running documentries and tips from TRC. AAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!! Oh and YYYAAAAYYYYY a proper TRC video at last!
I'm like a hamster - I don't really run in winter. I like to sing out loud when running; people look at me like I'm a nutter. It's great!
I can COMPLETELY relate…I’ve just starting cantering (no way shape or form a runner-yet!)…I’ve been told to aim for “conversational pace”…surely singing counts as that…cause I can’t get any friends to start running with me so I have someone to chat with…they think I’m bonkers, along with everyone I pass on my route!!😂🤣😂for friends, “running” is what u have to do when the gym instructor wants to punish you🤣
I have the opposite reaction when I see a dog whilst running, happy Christmas 🎅🎄
“It’s not about the speed.” 🏃🏻♂️ 😂😂
I think I am not long enough in the running game yet, but I look forward to annoying my friends in the future with these 😂
During marathon training.
"Not far to run today, Just a half Marathon distance"
Just......
I had to go out for a longish trail run leading up to a 50k, and it was just above freezing, and raining. My husband was asking if I was sure I would be OK, and I said definitely, it's "only a 10 miler". The shock on his face... that was probably the first time I felt like a "real" runner! (Normally I'd skip the run and do some strength or yoga!)
Hey TRC Team! I love your videos and thought I’d drop this idea over to you for a future vid…
There are groups on social media asking for guide runners to run with blind runners who can’t get out running for whatever reason such as not having a family member who runs or not knowing anyone who runs at their pace or not knowing anyone who can run at a time of day suitable to both. I haven’t personally been able to get involved as I’ve not found any blind runners local to me but it’s something I think is an amazing thing to be involved with.
It would be great to raise awareness of/promote guide running to help that community. Thanks team!
The first parkrun comment about the route being too short, I literally said that 😂😂
Ending my Christmas with a Running Channel video. This the best way to do it.
I've definitely had to shorten, or completely skip, a run or two because I spent so much time that day reading or watching running vids. OOPS!!
Hahaha don’t worry we’ve all been there 😂
🤣🤣 Quality.... "dog, theres a dog !" 🤣🤣
Perfect and fun Christmas video this Morning! Thank you TRC!
Thanks for watching!
On a weekend away with friends:
“When are you guys getting up?”
“7:30 so we have time to get to X”
“Okay so if I get up at 5… then I have time to do a 10K and shower”
*horrified looks* 😨
“What?! I can’t ruin my running streak!” 🏃🏻♀️ (having done 30 something consecutive days)
You all and Nick Symmonds are my two favorite running/fitness UA-cam channels! Would love to see a collab!!! Happy Holidays!
Thanks! Merry Christmas Darius! 🎅
That’d be GREAT!!! Collaboration Tiiiiime!!!
Love it, watching this to motivate and make me run quicker. We do love to consume all things running.
Love your work team.
"Hi mate, I know it's 9am on a Saturday morning but would you mind if I just stop at your house and use your toilet?"
😂😂
My first Park Run - I turned up and only 1 person spoke to me (the organiser), strange bunch of people, but hey I enjoyed it :) one of my Fav Vids so far - some of the stuff I have actually heard and laughed at - its true runners are a strange bunch :) Happy New Year everyone xx
Absolutely BRILLIANT video!
Love/hate relationship with my watch and quite a few other things mentioned here. Fun video!
🤣🤣🤣
Essential items to carry on a run: A whole baguette and a roll of toilet paper.
Happy running, folks!
'You're not a runner unless you've read this book'. Priceless!
With running (and some non-running) friends definitely guilty of taunting each other to do longer races. "If no one has ever died trying to complete that distance does it even count as a distance race?" Or the old "if you're not sore the day after your run it really doesn't count."
Am obsessed with the Running Channel, Women's Running magazine and podcast and CTolleyRun podcast and have to wean myself off all of you!
😂
I literally know several people that looked for a longest downhill course to do a PB! 😀
@Ron Cash why, why of them ran his fastest 5k downhill
I love the toe nail part!
"I'll get some quick miles in to start with, while I still can." - patently stupid, even at the point I think it, but somehow irresistible.
I feel identify with: the weather hahaha..." it's too humid, too hot" 365 days of the year here in Texas hahaha, running research and I love my watch hahaha
Yes I need that Running Channel x Nick Symmonds Colloboration!
🥳
Run Gum + TRC + so many great runners = fantastic video
Haha said most of the words in this video!! Btw Merry Christmas fellow runners (:
Haha nice! Merry Christmas! 🎅🎄
@@runningchannel Same to you!! Also I would loveee for you and Nick Symmonds to do a video together. His channel and your channel are my favorite running channels on UA-cam!
Brilliant vid 😂😂😂
Nothing I’ve said but once on a 10 km run someone said not far to go we had only ran 2km 😂😂
🤣🤣 Sarah, my watch definitely hates me too!! Another unproductive run, grrrrrr!!
Definitely guilty of quite a few of those^^
As a challenge, I would really like to see Andy run an ultra against Sarah and Anna.
Me: first sip of a morning coffee.... My bottom part of body: "Bonjour" 🤣
Great video! Definitely have heard a lot of these and said/did a lot of these.
I can also Google this, but what is the distance of a park run / what are park runs? Is it a UK thing? I’ve only heard the term on this channel, never met anyone in the US use the term or heard the term on other running channel videos.
A Parkrun is 5km.
It's a free timed event that's held every Saturday morning at specific locations.
In Australia we have 415 Parkruns (I did a google search!) and there are new ones popping up regularly. But there are only 48 in the USA apparently.
I just checked and there are 49 park runs in the USA , so it is a thing. But that’s not many for a huge country. Doesn’t sound as though there are any in your area, so I guess it’s up to you to get it started.
On the Newport marathon this year there were people at a few 5k marks with signs just so many park runs to go made me giggle a bit
"Oh, you DNF your Parkrun because of a blister? I ran the last third of UTMB covered in blood"
Before the race: "My beetroot juice improves my race time by 2%, and my aerodynamic Skin-shirt by 4%" After the race: "blah-blah-blah excuses blah-blah-blah"
Saying: "Only increase workload by 10%/week" or "Take it slowly when training coming back from injury" to other runners, without ever doing it yourself.
"If I pass out please pause my Garmin"
"It's just a hill - get over it"
"Pain is temporary, glory is forever"
"Pain is weakness leaving the body"
Said about the 9th physio: "My new physiotherapist gave me these exersises and they're really good. My knees are finally back to normal." (then over training, and new problems)
When I marshall at my local Parkrun I say every daft thing I can think of as "encouragement" - I shall start using "less than 1 parkrun to go" from now on.
Merry Christmas everyone ! Don’t forget Christmas isn’t an excuse to take a rest day 🙃
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅
The t rex part brought back memories of me doing the halloween parkrun round delamere in 2021
After just getting back in from a run.
Message from running buddy: Do you fancy a run this afternoon?
Me: Yes sure, sounds good, I could fit a run in.
"Not going to watch UA-cam Running Videos on Christmas Day" Doh! 😳
4:56 I've never gotten that cold running myself, but I did follow a buddy one time he was running 18 miles on my bike ended up getting very cold.. And I did get almost frostbite because I did not have warm enough clothes on 🙂.
Got my first blister marathon training!!
So happy, made me feel like a proper runner!! 😂
🤣😂🤣 ....
😂😂
Last Sunday
“Just going for a recovery run, shouldn’t be much over an hour”
New Half PB
I'm currently watching this in bed knowing I have to do a long run today, oh how you catch me out...
My friends are all in shock when I tell them that I have a car to wash in the driveway or a yard to mow after doing a half marathon in the morning. LOL!!
How about "running up the river into a headwind, I turned around to run downriver, still into a headwind"?
"I don't put my running shoes on for less than 10K." My colleagues will never let me forget :D
I wasn't even bragging, just stating a fact. Forgetting how that sounds to non-crazy / non-running folks.
Has Andy not done a marathon? If not I challenge him to run one. Come on Andy run a marathon!!!
Yeah my 40 k trailrace was only 39.2 according to my watch and the elevation was 2600 instead of 2400+😢. Decided not to go for 40 at the finish though
Park run is one of those things I get so confused about being from the USA
I did a quick google search. There are only around 48 Parkruns in the USA apparently.
Here is Oz we have 415 and that number is growing steadily!
The parkrun length one is definitely TRUE! Mine's 2.8 miles!
" see that hill over there? I ran up that hill that hill this morning" non-runner "only running i do is in the car"
Merry Christmas all!
Also 3 of us at my work run/train distance and one day we were all comparing to see who had the ugliest feet, shoes and socks off in the middle of cubeville. You know missing/black and blue toenails, blisters, calluses, etc. For the record I won!
I did my first half marathon this year may eas aiming for a sub 1hr30min needed a no.2 16km in was on track for the sub 1hr30min up until than final race time was 1hr34min I cried myself to sleep that night.
Some of the things sounds like hot takes!
I love running on rainy days
Read this at “ stupid ‘shit runners’ say” and thought woah that’s a bit harsh… for a sec there🤣
HI DOG!!! Me 😂😂😂😂😂
“It’s only…” 10km, 8km…
The stupid shit I've said are too numerous to mention...😂
"Only 1 marathon left to go"
We've all been guilty of that one! 😂
"1 marathon down, three to go"
-Anyone doing a 100-miler
My favourite thing is long run maths. Ten miles is just this 5 mile route plus this 3 mile loop and then and out and back on x Road so it's basically just 5 miles, 3 miles and 2 miles. 5 miles is easy. Maybe I should train for another marathon?
My training partner said to one member of our running group "it is ONLY a half" as in half marathon. She about slapped him. After running so many half marathons you forget that distance is long for most normal people.
Friend: What are you doing tonight? Me: Running in circles! It's my last chance before I go on holiday, there won't be a track, and... Friend: Ah, that's not exactly what I meant, it is Christmas Eve...
At the starting line saying its only 10 k. In my own defence, it was about 14 days before my first marathon, so for me it was just a short run
Was that Snickers? Aboldet!
I've lost five toenails and I currently have one black one that will be ready to go any day now. Just saying...
I have the same why this happens and is this bad?
Living where I do I have had the argument with myself about …” it’s only 35c I can take it easy wear a long sleeve shirt and a wide brim hat it will be easy”. 😳😳😳😳
Yes. Do something with Nick. Merry Christmas.
Christmas is the day when I catch up on my TRC videos. Must say it hurt a little when Andy said "Some left in the tank." I promise to stop saying that.
My first Marathon attempt, I posted on Facebook: "Barring an injury or accident, the next time I post will be to announce my first complete marathon!"
Maybe next year is the year. 🤕
Always say I had lots more in me after a pb even if I’m on the floor dying
I'm so happy that I never lost nails or had bleeding nipples so far.
Its better to run in the cold.... then dying here in the South African heat ... best time to run here is 5 am in the mornings.... you brits are lucky to always have rainy weather....👌
That looks like Daventry parkrun. That used to be home run.
A friend of mine is at a race half or full marathon always complaining We are going to fast, we are never going to keep this pace. Then afterwards I just ran a pb. This was a great run. It is a great friend but sometimes.........
I'm a chick, usually say "my balls hurt after that run". Innocently referring to the balls of my feet.
😂 Interesting choice of words, Steph!
I have some questions about that snickers in the video ; I have sometimes wondered: can you pack a handful of chocolate bars in stead of energy gels, when you go for a long run? I have never seen anyone do so, but why not? Any comments anyone?
I read an article that said a snickers bar is nutritionally equivalent to many "health" bars. I've never checked, but that's good enough for me!
Some ultra runners use chocolate bars in races so you definitely can 😊
@@runningchannel - thanks. I will definitely try it and try to figure out which helps my running to most - chocolate bars or energy gels. 👍😀
@@Kelly_Ben - oh yeah, those "health" bars are not healthy at all. Now I will try to figure out, if they are more beneficial on my long runs than energy gels. 👍😀
I love a snickers for an ultra
Nick Symonds Collab would be mad
Are you getting a tattoo? My Park Run barcode…you?
Merry Christmas 🎅
Merry Christmas Mark! 🎅
My watch must be glitching. I can feel my pace was 15 seconds faster.
I think Sarah needs to work on her snot rocket.... you really need to earn a good loud SPLAT on impact to know it's been a good one. As for Anna and her hangover (who else would do that aspect), I think it's the other way around, running is great for clearing a hangover. From currently "Unproductive Al".
Unproductive; tell me about it. Couldn't they find another word that is less demoralising?
The only thing better than running is eating.
