I'm no where near winning a parkrun but I did start the new year with an unexpected course PB at my local parkrun. So in my own way I came home a winner, and then proceeded to fall asleep on the couch for half of the afternoon. Happy new year mate!
sub-3 is definitely do-able! Especially if you actually train for it 🤣will be fun to watch regardless. Here's to a happy and healthy 2025 for you and the girls, Tim. anything else is a bonus!
"Covered themselves in glue and ram raided Sports Direct". Says you wearing that Brooks monstrosity! 😂😂 Is it a cagoule? Getting that binned should be on your 2025 list! Anyhoo, very funny and well done again. Colin needs to have a word with himself right enough. I mean, you've got one job, Colin..........
The way you just turn up and run whatever the weather/however you feel at so many run events - inspiring me to try out more running events with the same ‘rock up and run’ attitude 😂
Happy new year Mr man. A great video apart from when you were explaining about your sticky lip and mouth debris. I had just took a bit out of my sandwich, kit didn’t godown well. Keep up the great work. 🎉😂👍🏃🏻♂️🌧️☂️💨
You did well just to get out in that MARM! ☔️🌧️ I took a gamble and didn’t even get up for my local one after seeing the amount of rain fall throughout NYE! True to form, woke up to a cancellation picture of the usual field looking like a boating lake! Operation Sub 20 delayed for another week! 🏃🏻
Happy new year Marm... I suggest that marshal covers a different part of the course in future, he's pointing with his right hand... He means well but that's really misleading 😂
@@middleagedrunningman On multi-day hikes, I put Vick on my feet before I go to bed. Three reasons 1. it smells nice (or nicer than my feet, anyway) 2. the vapour rising from the sleeping bag through the night reduces my snoring. 3. it helps stop blisters. Love your vids. Keep em coming!
Well done Tim another great video. Happy New Year to you and your family. I’ve done Manchester and Chester marathons both good ones. Think you would crack sub 3 at one of them
I’ve just seen pinocchio panto tonight and he told less lies than you on that parkrun 🤥😂 Well done on coming 6th when not feeling so well. Happy New Year 🎉
@ reminds me of one time I wore leggings in a race. Disaster - you soon warm up and indeed wrong mindset. On other hand you did not look A1 well so probably as well. Am still getting fully over my manflu from 2 weeks ago.
A true spitting story. I spit because swallowing means time lost breathing. Night run with training group, no moon. I check my right flank, clear! Send a big one out just as a runner all in black passes me, direct hit. He fades back. I suppose he cleaned himself up. We were on the return journey with a mile to go. He tries to pass me on the bridge. I accelerate, and somehow my hand hits his watch and it flies off his wrist??? I hear chunks of plastic dropping on the pavement. This was so embarrassing! Fortunately, I never saw him again.
Another good watch , missing all 4 PR over the holiday …damn chest infection, I think I could surpass you with lumps of Phlegm…odd but why would that Marshall put out both arms , did it twice ? Marshall again on Saturday for me …
I don't drink alcohol and haven't (for medical reasons) for nearly 40 years so New years evening an be challenging if I go out, we normally go to friends which makes it just about bearable! 😆
@lukemeregreenfencing482 if you look at the winning times, beacon generalky looks to be around a minute quicker than tamworth. Walsall has the reputation of being the fastest locally
That's a b course because of the weather presumably? I've only done it once but don't remember an out and back. You can't win them all, you'll soon be back!
Is the marshal doing this to all runners deliberately to try to help one of his mates finish the “not a race” in a better place or does he just hate MARM? Something dodgy going on here!

Now THAT is winning. Great result!!

I really appreciate your sense of humor! 😂
Thanks Ben
hahahaha. I chuckled and laughed all the way through that video. Brilliant.
That’s what we want Ben!!

It's a high quality item that jacket.... Saw me coming didn't they?
The way you just turn up and run whatever the weather/however you feel at so many run events - inspiring me to try out more running events with the same ‘rock up and run’ attitude 😂
Just turning up is the key!! Anything after that is a bonus!
Not fooling anyone by putting "Reaching for my car keys" at the end there. We all know what you were doing!
😂😂😂
Digging for treasure.
Shameless Ann.
Yes i had drawn the same conclusion, not literally that would be weird ..
that dreaded cold, we all got it....hope y oure over it. Well done on the parkrun. Happy New Year.
On the mend Patrick….
Funniest park running channel keep up the good work😊
Cheers Neil!!
Well done Tim and happy new year
Thanks Dan
Sub 3 marathon would be awesome. I wonder how much faster you'd go if you actually dressed to race rather than a polar expedition :)
Ha ha!! You’ll never get me in a vest John!
Marmy Army! Liar, you were scratching your arse! Congrats on the tactical shave 😉
Shave? or Save?
Happy new year Mr man. A great video apart from when you were explaining about your sticky lip and mouth debris. I had just took a bit out of my sandwich, kit didn’t godown well. Keep up the great work. 🎉😂👍🏃🏻♂️🌧️☂️💨
Sorry Dave…. It’s important to explain all facets of the running experience.
You did well just to get out in that MARM! ☔️🌧️
I took a gamble and didn’t even get up for my local one after seeing the amount of rain fall throughout NYE!
True to form, woke up to a cancellation picture of the usual field looking like a boating lake! Operation Sub 20 delayed for another week! 🏃🏻
Longer period to prepare mentally…..
Happy New Year Tim. I look forward to all of your races and adventures ahead. Take care 😊
HNY Dean!
Happy new year Marm... I suggest that marshal covers a different part of the course in future, he's pointing with his right hand... He means well but that's really misleading 😂
He's gone rogue....
It was definitely longer than normal. Well done MARM you lapped me at the start of the hill at the end.
Was a tough morning wasn't it Ian? Those paths felt colder....
Wasn’t expecting a parkrun video to also include a full recipe, that’s tonight’s dinner sorted, thanks.
That's what you get with this channel...
So glad you put you were reaching round to get your keys 😂
Just thought it would be better to be clear….
Well done mate, and Happy new year. I was at Warwick, horrible morning for running.
Dreadful wasn't it? How was the course?
Don’t know if you’ve done Warwick, it’s a pretty exposed course. Not much fun ☹️
Love the goz talk 🤣 I’m not a great spitter, usually gets stuck on my cheek…I heard Vicks on the sole of your feet was a thing, not sure what though
Can’t be true. Surely?

Love your vids. Keep em coming!
Great tip Graham!!!
Well done and get well soon 🙌
Thanks Karen. Sympathy has run out at home.
Well done Tim another great video. Happy New Year to you and your family. I’ve done Manchester and Chester marathons both good ones. Think you would crack sub 3 at one of them
Thanks Andy. Chester is deffo a possibility.
@ Give you a week to recover for Oxford 😂
A parkrun depiction of the point where Frodo baggins lost his bonhomie en route to Mordor 😂
Didn’t think that MARM was *that* short but it does explain how he is able to weave around other runners so well. 🤣
I am quite short. Sadly.
I’ve just seen pinocchio panto tonight and he told less lies than you on that parkrun 🤥😂 Well done on coming 6th when not feeling so well. Happy New Year 🎉
Cheers Mand - hope the panto was a gripper.
A sub 3h marathon would be something to look forward to not gonna lie.
Say it quietly Tom….
Oral Armageddon 🤔 I think we all had that one teacher 😂
I don’t think Bruce Willis was in that version of the movie 🤣
@ 😂
Bad man Steve.
I won’t ask Andy…, Maths though, right?
@@middleagedrunningman history
Definitely a 2.57 / 2.58 marathon based on your other pb,s ! Give it a go , no regrets !👊
Will try Damian!!
Bobble hat and full rain gear. Not really shorts and singlet attire of elite parkrunners :)
No. It was a huge error in hindsight Tim. Sartorially, physically and mentally. A losers mistake.
@ reminds me of one time I wore leggings in a race. Disaster - you soon warm up and indeed wrong mindset. On other hand you did not look A1 well so probably as well. Am still getting fully over my manflu from 2 weeks ago.
Takes a while to shift doesn’t it?
Well done Tim. Keep the videos coming. Have I missed the news - is the loft finished or are the lads having a break?
Not quite finished....But the lads are having a definite break....

Effectively, you were out at night, saw a bloke running, gobbed in his face, then nicked his watch?
Another good watch , missing all 4 PR over the holiday …damn chest infection, I think I could surpass you with lumps of Phlegm…odd but why would that Marshall put out both arms , did it twice ? Marshall again on Saturday for me …
Hope you are feeling getter Alan. Learn from Colin's mistakes.
Taking the last few spoons of my oats when you started talking about phlem... breakfast ruined. 😅
Sorry Dave. Lemon Curd?
Great vid but tmi in the first 5 mins....🤧🤧Happy New Year.. 🎉x
Thanks Liz. It was an error in hindsight….
@middleagedrunningman 😂😂😂😂
Not a bad time considering how rough you sounded.
He always sounds like that too me.. 😂
Like Alison Moyet.
Thanks Liz!! 😂😂
I don't drink alcohol and haven't (for medical reasons) for nearly 40 years so New years evening an be challenging if I go out, we normally go to friends which makes it just about bearable! 😆
Didn’t really miss it last year. Annoyed at myself for breaking!!
Sure is 😂😂😂
Can't win them all 😂 got to give the others a chance. Weather was terrible on NYD I did my 100th volunteer and was drenched 😅
Volunteers were saints on that day. Absolute shocker.
Come Tamworth, nice and flat ….. trying to get sub 19 wuould be great to run it with you 💪
Beacon park is a quicker course though
@@garthcox4307
Were is this
Lichfield. Tamworth is good but a bit twisty. I think beacon is quicker IMO
@@garthcox4307
Will give a go 👍💪 cheers
@lukemeregreenfencing482 if you look at the winning times, beacon generalky looks to be around a minute quicker than tamworth. Walsall has the reputation of being the fastest locally
Tamworth. Just past Sutton Coldfield 💪👍👍👍
In Google Maps as we speak.
Xmas day and nyd are normally the busiest parkruns of the year
It’s was Poor Admin.
Oral Armageddon 😂 could be a questionable vid title
Horrendous individual Troy.
Just getting out on new years day is a win. I sacked parkrun of and stayed in bed 🙈
Very very poor Stu. You are an Iron Man. Should be ashamed of yourself.
As someone who doesn't do regular parkruns - what do you do with your jacket when you run? Does it just get left carelessly draped on a tree or bush?
NEVER bush a jacket. Parkrun is a magnet for petty crime.
Wind? longer course? rain? poorly chest? Adversary marshal? Only excuse left in the book is that parkrun isn’t a race 👀 HNY!
Cheers Harps!! Ha ha!!
What have you done to Colin, to upset him so much? 🤣
Think it was the jacket...
It would be good to see him do a short Fell Race. Try one in 2025 MARM.
Think I'd probably fall on the fells.
Much prefer it when your moaning rather than 'winning' fingers crossed you do another ultra in 2025!
Bad man Rev.
Tamworth 💪
Brueton were generous for you with the winner only getting 18:07 😂 as I tell everyone, just run quicker 🤷♂️😂
Great advice mate. Have you considered coaching?
@ 😂😂 never thought about it before 😂 maybe I should 🤔
3 hour mara is doable, try and find one with a pacer to make it a little easier mentally
It's growing on me as an idea...
Colin the Marshall obviously bribed to stymie M. A. R. M. 😂
It's clear isn't it?
Am i first - never been first to comment 😀
Happy new year Marm 😀
And my first reply!!! HNY Claire!
That's a b course because of the weather presumably? I've only done it once but don't remember an out and back. You can't win them all, you'll soon be back!
Certainly can't win them all. (And didn't)
Come to Birkenhead park will come to a end there
Sounds Northern Paul...
@ we are on the north west
It was a Wednesday so not a Saturday Park Run . Scratch it and claim you are still unbeaten on a Saturday in 2025.
Very very good point Andy.
Dude, still under 20..! How many is THAT in a row?
Cheers Galahad. Every cloud.

There’s only one MARMY ARMY
Walking alone, singing a song

Might start that chant in the car park pre race. Ingratiate myself to locals.
@ you gotta let them know that you’re not playing around
Big time.
Is the marshal doing this to all runners deliberately to try to help one of his mates finish the “not a race” in a better place or does he just hate MARM?
Something dodgy going on here!
Could be both….
Really disappointed with the diminishing home improvement content on this channel - it's almost all about running now
Sorry Dale. I know. I’m moving away from the heart of the channel.
Stop parkrunning M. A. R. M. ... Its not good for your soul, look at yourself man 😂
Ashamed of myself.
