One of those things Rich. Just do what you can for the remaining weeks and then give it your best in Brighton. We are very lucky if we manage an entire training block with no problems. That mate of yours is a bit annoying. You should probably film your videos in a different room so he can’t distract you.
ooh good idea. Thanks Stephen! Yes I will just have to see what I can do... which at the moment is still very little! But it is what it is as they say!
Another top quality episode, Rich. A real comedy drama vibe about it. If you could get the writers to just reduce the drama levels a little bit.... I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for the main character. 😢
This is top quality content, I love the moaning and realism, it’s like the “working man’s running channel” (although the irony is, as you pointed out, you don’t actually have a job). Also I pulled my calf last week so know all about that, very frustrating.
Thanks Michael! ha luckily I have been working a bit more these last few weeks (mainly voice things). Oh no! Sorry about your calf! Hope that's on the mend by now...
@@TheRichKeeble glad to hear you’ve had some work! Calf is good, actually rested it this time, normally I just keep doing “test runs” that make it worse until I have to take a prolonged period off. This time I was more sensible.
Evening Rich, if training does tail off. I’m going to run 8 min a mile at Brighton. 3.30ish. Slower than past times, but just to (enjoy) it. If you want to tag along.
Totally been there don’t worry! We always lose a week or so through illness or niggles and even just some bad sessions. Completely normal. Some good weeks coming up soon !
Hearing those Garmin beeps giving me mild anxiety and increasing my HR like I'm about to do a rep 😅 We love to see the ugly side of running, hope things turn around for you though!
Might seem like an obvious statement but I find just checking the local ambient temperature on my iPhone before I head out on a run really helps clothing choice. 10⁰ and below I "layer up" and anything above 12⁰ is definitely doable with a single layer. Gets a bit more tricky if it's windy or very changeable conditions.
You're absolutely right, the thing is I've now got into the habit of wearing another layer and the gloves. Before I had the jacket and the gloves I would just go out with the single layer! By the time I'm running again though it'll be boiling hot by the looks of it!
Yeah, complete rest and bring thoroughly curmudgeonly are the best remedies. I'm a lot older than you and you're a much better runner than me (I've only been running for 18 months), look after yourself and you'll be in good nick on the day. I'm volunteering on a water station/High 5 spot that day so I'll keep an eye out for you. I've also withdrawn from Brighton half tomorrow. Running eh? Great fun 😂
Those weekly mileage numbers are a Kelvin Kiptum level suck. Kick the plan and up the nearest orifice where a pricey Ben Parkes cap won't see the sunshine. Oh for a training plan that doesn't leave you messed up.and needing treatment BEFORE the race starts. 😮
haha well to be fair he does say he doesn't expect people to hit all the workouts... of course I had to ditch the plan ultimately and just see what I could do!
Sorry to hear about the progress, it was still great watching the video and we both hope you recover from the fall you had in the bath 🛀 we always love your videos 🎉
Enjoyable video as always Rich. It may help (although what works for me may not work for you) the pain in my calves is related to tight hamstrings. Looking forward to your next video.
If you've got a calf niggle please try to avoid stretching it as this may aggravate it further. Try to load it to strengthen it, foam roll it if there's an adhesion or even better seek the advice of a PT.
hey Rod - thanks for the kind info! After my additional falling injury I've basically been resting it and having been stretching it all. Once I'm back to running I will definitely do the strength training!
On my long run yesterday it’s the closest I’ve ever come to 💩 myself. Diverted back home mid run, but the 20 mins leading up to getting home were fraught with danger
Possibly the best hi RICH KEEBLE HERE ever 🎉
Thank you! I'm not sure I want that guy hanging around too often though
‘I hate marathons. I hate gels. And I hate running.’
Proper laughed out loud at that 😂
haha thanks - maybe I should put some of these on a T shirt
@@TheRichKeeble I would buy one with that on for sure 😂
@@TheRichKeebleI’d definitely buy one too 🙋🏻♀️
"Oh god another 14kms to go". That made me chuckle. Proper Marvin Android quote
haha good!

Thank you Mark! I think you're right, the writers seem a bit spiteful towards him and it's all a bit unrealistic!
Love the editing effort with this one 😂👏 I was not laughing at your pain and suffering, I was merely laughing at how much I can relate to it 😅
ha thank you Tom! Bloody running eh!

Thank you! That's very kind of you! At the moment though with the ridiculous injury I've got no idea what I'll be capable of!

Thanks William! There's actually been another setback though... Another video is actually exporting as we speak for imminent release!
One of your best I’d say.
You were both excellent
haha thank you Conrad. I didn't like either of those guys to be honest

Ha sorry Greg! Oh yeah things are ugly round here alright! Thank you!
hey Rich, saw u in a movie...great stuff buddy!!!
Hey Tapiwa! ooh which one? The wedding one?
@@TheRichKeeble something to do with an apocalypse, it was quite good.
“Gel roulette “ :) that’s perfect
ha thank you!

You have my sympathy Rich, did my calf 13 days ago (who's counting eh?) not for the first time. Still, only 57 days until London Marathon 😂
oh no! Well my sympathies to you too! Have you just been resting it? Yes, ages away...! 😶

Enjoying your videos Rich!! “I hate marathons, I hate Gels and I hate running” 😂
haha thank you Mike. I'm yet to change to my mind as well...
Sorry to hear about the progress, it was still great watching the video and we both hope you recover from the fall you had in the bath 🛀 we always love your videos 🎉
aw thanks guys! Very kind of you as always. Hope your ridiculous marathon time training is going better!
@@TheRichKeeblethank you, will be making an update video soon, so far it’s been very disgusting 😂
Love your videos, Rich! Seems like an aggressive marathon plan, especially the amount of weekly mileage.
Thanks again Lee! I really appreciate it. Yes perhaps I was overly optimistic with this one... but surely everyone drops some of their mileage...
Enjoyable video as always Rich.
It may help (although what works for me may not work for you) the pain in my calves is related to tight hamstrings.
Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks Chris! Interesting... I've been really slack with looking after myself so could well be!

oof it's stressful isn't it! Hasn't happened to me too often but maybe I'm just not used to having that many gels in that space of time
@@TheRichKeeble yeah I eat every 20 mins or so. But it’s quite a new thing for me - I’ve started doing small loops near home… just in case…
Crikey. Talk about a tight groin 🤔
