    However you manage to navigate in those conditions, as well as managing without a watch, I'll never know. Brilliantly done, John 👍🏻💪🏃‍♂️

      Thanks Mark. Time spent on a recce is rarely wasted and the one I did helped massively 👌🏻

    Awesome video mate, especially in a race, under those gnarly conditions. Looked grim most of the way round, but those pies looked bloody amazing 😃🦾

    Excellent video as always!
    Well done on your race 👍🏻
    I ran the 13 Valleys last weekend 110k through the Langdales including Esk Hause, very cheeky ! Now I’ve ran a good few miles over the Fells I can properly relate to your films, keep ‘em coming my friend 👍🏻

      Thanks Pete glad you liked the vid and congrats on the 13 valleys! Looked an awesome race. I had been looking at it last year as one to do but didn’t. Maybe next years 🤘🏻

    Brilliant for completing it, John! So many people didn't finish it because of the poor visibility. You did great! Plus, filmed it so beautifully!
    Just finished watching it to the end. Spotted that you now acquired an Ambleside vest - cool! Also it's so lucky that there was always someone running near you. I spotted a few people I know.

      Thanks Olga.. yes there was a bit of carnage on the fell and quite a few DNFs. Hopefully no serious injuries, I haven’t heard of any. Besides that good character building fun 🙂

    Nice one, John. Thanks for the awesome vid. Great to meet you...sadly, my calf popped on my warm up and was too painful to race, so I was gutted. Although I know there were over 60 DNFs and even mates I knew would normally do really well, came a cropper in some way due to the conditions, vis etc (one guy went down within two mins of setting off, smacked his knee up). So it was a really trying day for everybody.

    • @lakelandtrailrunner

      Nice to meet you too. That’s a shame sorry to hear that. Next year mate! Yes I almost got caught out by a nav error due to the bad vis, only found the CP through luck.

    Well done fella. I wasn’t far behind you for the first few miles. I decided to retire at angle tarn as i was losing faith. Well done for sticking it out. Brutal conditions with no visibility. The fact you managed to get some footage over slimy rock is impressive. Hats off to you 👏🏻

    A fantastic record of a tough race, it says more about the true character of the lakes than a thousand tourist board slush fests about Beatrix Potter.

    Oops, a bit of a brain fart there John. A good vid, also good to run sans watch at times, allows the brain to take hold and listen to the body.

    Hi John what a fantastic account of the race.
    It did look grim..we were over there the same day as your recce lovely area. Just out of interest what was the estimated distance for the race.

    • @lakelandtrailrunner

  • @JohnnyParsonsladfromtad
    @JohnnyParsonsladfromtad Рік тому

    p.s. Saw some bonkers routes on Strava for the race. Don't think Andy Styan's record was ever in danger! There did use to be a race from the top of Pendle Hill, where you had to estimate your descent time, but weren't allowed to wear a watch. Would be interesting nowadays...

    Didn't you have your phone with you as a backup for timing? If you did you could even have just used the Strava app for timing, can't believe Garmin doesn't have similar in their connect app

    • @lakelandtrailrunner
      @lakelandtrailrunner  Рік тому +1

      I did have my phone but tbh I don’t like taking it with me when I race. One less thing to carry. Of course you can argue it can double as a safety device. As much as I was a bit bummed for having forgotten my Garmin I actually quite enjoyed running without it. Something I’ll do more of going forward 👌🏻
