Just such a wonderful event to be apart of. Atmosphere, landmarks and the finish location. I took part and I PB’d yesterday amidst the heat. 1:35:06 my official time. Although it’s was absolute havoc getting away from South Shields post race given the torrential rain, thunderstorms & floods.
took me 3 hours to get back into Newcastle - would've been quicker if I'd just run all the way back!
Loving it! Favourite moments were Fordy almost taking Eddie Howe’s hand clean off with the high 5 and Simon’s legendary marking system for the bottles not being the right bottles 😂
who rates a race on water bottles!!!
Well done team! Major fomo for not running it, but I ran the run-fest Richmond. Love the Fordy family 🩷
First time doing GNR this year! Couldn’t leave South Shields until 7pm due to floods and traffic and guess what? Signed up for 2024
Well done 🎉Fordy and the team. Alway a good run out at the GNR. Until next year 😉
Amazing my parents got to meet you I also saw you at the finish great job my parents are so happy they met you 😊
Great video! You did well to get that out so quickly after a long weekend!
Tried to find you all weekend, left the pen 13 minutes after you though. Great video 9/10 from me, agree with Admin about the start time.
Great vid.... It was my 1st time running it and really enjoyed it. I just ran a comfortable 1:53 and took it all in 🙌
Great run and video Chris, nice to meet you on the start line too 😀
Great vlog. Although a bit slow on the day, it was my 30th GNR, yesterday. Too hot for me but I soon cooled down with the biblical weather in the afternoon..😊
Oh one more thing never met up due to timings but every fordy that passed me wished me luck and told me ‘you’ve got this’ which was awesome ❤
that is so cool
Brilliant video, absolute heroes 👍🏻👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video, it was a fantastic day, and all the supporters were amazing 👏 hats off to there generosity and cheers along the way, i didnt realise I'd passed you at the start as i was too in to the moment, we said hi to Eddie at the same time, oh and i give it 10/10 💪and will be back again next year 🏃♂️
What a race! Loved it yesterday and great to do the shake out with you all on Saturday too. It was so hot yesterday then the biblical rain after was awful 😂. Was disappointed that Elvis had left the building, my friend was gutted about not seeing him. Unlike Simon I thought the water bottles were great, much better than cups or screw tops ones. Can't wait to do it again next year 😀
I still can’t believe he marked them down for the bottles
@@FordyRuns 😂😂
I went out for lunch in South Shields afterwards and I came out the restaurant about half 3 in the middle of the torrential downpour. As soon as that happened I was stuck for about 2 and half hours in South Shields.
@@ramwinter2622 it was mad wasn't it. I was watching the sky when queuing for the bus and it was so dark. It flooded everywhere so quickly!
@@lorrainedavies8778 it was unreal never experienced anything like it ever.
Why do i get most excited for Simons ratings. I was sad on a race he didnt do 🤣🤣 Fab video as always.
Just love that you are so supportive and inclusive 🙏
Thank you!!!
First timer here too, supurb event, even with the tropical storm twist,3 mile hike and hitching a lift back to Newcastle with a legend of a geordie!
that rain!!!!!!
I really need to do the Great North Run, it looks fab.
Great video was stood behind you when you were doing your little group chat at the start on 2:00mins. Pleased you enjoyed it!
thats awesome hope you had a great run
Well done Chris and team. Great to see you all at the start and say Hi. What a hot one that was!!! I had a good start but after a few miles I was melting so backed right off and finished safe and sound. Thanks for the vid and see you again next year hopefully. Cheers
The best video ♥Loved it still even with the crazy heat, mile 9 nearly stopped me but managed to recover nicely to actually enjoy the best last mile of any run on the planet! Agree on those baggage buses, still 20/10
Loved this....this is why i love running ❤ well done fordy!! 👏👏
Yes! Thank you!
Looks like so much fun! Wish I could do that
done GNR a couple times back in 2018 and 2019, they say it's not hilly, but the hills are long so you don't realise and not great in the heat I bet. Loved the crowds there though never sen such a great response to a half, amazing people!!!!
Yeah it’s the crowds that make this event
Was my first one , absolutely loved it, definitely a 10 . The Geordies were on another level. 👏👏
Appreciate the work you guys put in to the shakeout on Saturday, really enjoyed that. Managed a PB on Sunday too 😄 1:36
Brilliant video Chris. Definitely going to get a membership or charity place just to experience it. Enjoyed volunteering yesterday
Fantastic!
@FordyRuns missed the shakeout run on Saturday as was doing something else
It were proper hot wasn't it! I was on pace for 15 km then that hill in the heat and the little headwind i was like, nah lets just enjoy the ride into shields! Geezer with the beers at 18/19km was the hero of the day though 😂
Also so pleased i listened to your guide the day up as i would have beasted it through the wrong finish otherwise 😂
See you next year- my 5th but my first as a Fordy Runner! 👍😀
Legend
Great video. Really enjoyed the shakeout run on Saturday thanks a lot 👍🏻
Great video, brought it all back to me, first time running yesterday and despite a 3hour wait to get out the car park at the end I would 100% do it again and it’s definitely a 10/10 from me. The supporters were epic!
Ps also followed your advice and went left for the oggies and it’s was unreal, got a bit carried away and got a 5k pb 😂
Fantastic!
Personally Great North would be my worst nightmare.too many people and i prefer the peace of the countryside..but everyone i know who has ran it has loved it...great vid 🙂
I’m the same
yeah i get that ... it is really packed
10/10 well done Fordies!
Thank you!
Loved it! Great footage of a great day 👊
Pure entertainment 😂Glad you all enjoyed the race!
Love it lol, Simon is hard to please 😂😂
I was running yesterday too. But completely missed the beer stop! Too bloody hot for distance running.
Was mate
It was great bumping into you during the race 😁
thanks for saying hi
The race was great, but if you start further back in the start pens it takes absolutely forever to get started. Took me over an hour to cross the start line once the race started and for over half of that time I was standing completely still.
I've never done the GNR but know a few who have. They say to experience the atmosphere, crowds, just the whole occasion is unbeatable. But as an actual running experience it's pretty terrible.
Every bottle I had exploded in my face 😂
mine too!
Don’t tell me you missed the rain Fordy! Getting home took more endurance than running
Seen you in Eldon Sq the day before the GNR and on the day of the run haha! It was rather warm on the day though.
ah you should have said hello
@@FordyRuns next time I definitely will 😊
Loved it 😍 but fences doubled in size from last year which didn’t like and obviously not there fault but the flash floods and 3.5 hours in car park trying to get out not good😢
Question - crowds better at GNR or london Marathon and do you get goodies on course like oranges and ice pops at London 😊 walked it 25mins quicker than walked it last year 3.39 so fingers crossed for London under 8 hours ❤
i think crowds here top it
Brilliant as always. Oggy Oggy Oggy or you should change that to Ossie Ossie Ossie for the legend that is Ossie Ardiles.
2:46 ooph, sometimes they don't land
Anything positive to say?
@@FordyRuns great run and well done in the heat!
@@yellowfolder thanks a lot I appreciate it ❤️
@@FordyRunsWhy are you calling the guy on your right ugly?
@@DavidGoggins-ne1xo guy on my right?
Anyone else see the cute blonde get ignored by the guy to Chris left for a fist bump at the start 😂
Cambridge lol
He’s coming back!!!
