Well done on that one, it kind of looks like a flat marathon has about as much running as a 50 miler in the hills. Loved how you were saying hello to everyone, it is so good to be on the receiving end of a cheery hello. 😃
@wildgingerruns I absolutely loved it 😍 I felt so alive, it was like finding myself out there, after many years 😅. I am now reflecting about how u felt, and it is like happy drunk with no alcohol🤣 euforic...it was crazy. Is that what you feel and why you live doing it? How was it for you?
I don't know how many people have run more and less of a marathon before doing an actual official marathon! Very cool! That looked like a nice course with the out and back......well done! It is hard to do an event like that when you're used to trails and not having to have that constant similar pace of running. Cool viddy!
Wow, congrats!! What a great time!! I'll admit, I like trail races because the steep hills and/or tricky footing gives me an excuse to walk sometimes. This one would have killed me! 😂
Me too! This was excellent training for my other ultra races, like a really long tempo run! My legs were aching so much after, must have got a lot stronger as UTS went really well after!
I don't think of road marathons as more difficult, so much as boring and unnecessarily painful! 😂 But then, those are definitely elements of difficulty... for a masochist! 😂
Defo road shoes, it's basically a hard, gritty path with no mud that you'd need grips for. I used road shoes with plenty of cushioning for this. Enjoy! Good luck! It's a lovely race!
Looks like a really friendly event!
It made me laugh how you helped yourself liberally to the sweets
Super lovely, you would really love all the Nice Work events Severine, they're a really nice company. And they have lots of yummy sweets yes! ;)

Exactly this Andrea! You've hit the nail on the head there, quite a shock to my ultra running (read ultra hiking!) system!
Wow, you are amazing😊. It was a pleasure meeting you during the LDWA yesterday😀
Thank you! Lovely to meet you too, did you enjoy the race? That film will be coming soon so watch out for that one!

I can't wait to watch your film😅 I got my sisters waiting as well and my two boys🤣

Thanks so much, you've hit the nail on the head there, not used to all that actual running lol!
Well done
Thanks Jane, are you thinking of running the race?
Depends on the cut off. Mostly stick to races in the Southeast
Brilliant, Well done Claire X
Thank you! Glad you like it, Claire
Great vlog. Nice mix of content.
Thank you! Glad you like it, Claire
Well done Claire, it was very like the Plym Trail Marathon in Devon, including all the bridges and tunnels! Good luck on the UTS!
Thanks Steve! I did the UTS in March after this one, it was fab! This race was excellent training for it!
Blimey of course you did! Getting a little out of sync with the runs lol!@@wildgingerruns

That looked bloody hard!
Defo one of the hardest races I've run! Pushed myself admirably! I've only been used to road-ish half marathons before that!
Next you'll be doing a marathon on the road!!! 😂😂😂😂
Could that be classed as swearing?!! 😅
@@trailrunningphil that could be possible. 😂
Oh god never! I have absolutely no aspirations to do such a difficult thing! Ha ha ha!!!!

Well done! I’m thinking of doing the half. Would you recommend trail or road shoes for this race?
