Hi Rich, new shoes eh, what made you choose them btw? I’ve got 2 pairs of new trainers upstairs, I need to try them out but it’s a bit muddy at the moment😂Layers, I thought you had a lot on at the start, I usually run with a long sleeved top even in winter💪😊

Echo all the positives from this review. One additional negative that I've found is font size on some of the workout screens. Despite having 'Large Fonts' switched on, I can't read some of the digits e.g. countdown for rest/recovery. There's ample screen real estate available, yet they've sized those digits to a minimum and squirreled them away in a small side area. There's loads of blank space remaining on that screen to accommodate larger digits. Anyone with any solutions I'm not aware of?

I love the funky coloured strap. Black gets boring. But i do wish we could have Amoled screens on all the watches. I've got the Fenix 7 but i wish it had Amoled. I guess that would make it more expensive though.

You should get some t- shirts printed. “Did you enjoy Parkrun . It was hard. Make a fortune 🤣

This is TH-cam gold. Don’t ever change Paula you’re hilarious 😂x

I missed this one. Part 2 popped up on my feed so came here first. What a legend, this is exactly what my Saturdays sound like with Sister Mandy 😂 so funny 😂 I think A Paula and Mandy parkrun would be brilliant 😂😂

Don't worry Paula, I am always too within myself to notice anything wither! Running is a bloody graft, no time to admire the surroundings haha. Great video

I haven't done this run since 2019 I think. Planning on starting again this week so checking out the route. It used to finish half way up the first bank but apparently that wasn't enough punishment so they have added the top bank to the finish too haha. FYI Silksworth is very much in Sunderland and not just outside as the intro and description mention :)

Looks like a really nice one, and a great cafe too. I quite like running in cool conditions Rich, I did a 10K yesterday and it was 3C at race start but after 3K it was perfect😀Paula is doing well😊Sub-25 for you very good😊

Happy New Year Rich & Paula, that’s a very nice Parkrun, as you said, really enthusiastic volunteers and lots of Swiss cowbells😀Glad Paula enjoyed it and got a great time💪I was volunteering that day, I lucked out there big time😂

Poor Paula. If they give Gold Medals at the Olympics for being a pessimist Paula would win easily. 🤣

Every Parkrun: Rich - How did you find that? Paula - HARD! REALLY HARD! Love it. She ain't wrong, a nice lie in is the way forward hahaha. Keep at it Paula, never gets easier but you're so brilliant for keeping it up. Look forward to saying hello when I meet you both. We can whine about Parkrun together 🙂

Know how she feels 😂. I hate hills!

Great stuff Paula I feel the same every parkrun but feel so much better after 😂 keep them coming rich 👍 👍👍

Firstly Rich, 24:08, that’s a great time🚀Secondly, that looks like a lovely Parkrun, tarmac too, what’s not to like😊

Nice running Rich. I work at Cobalt so that is a very familiar route for me. I have made the mistake of over heating the past 2 nights. It has been surprisingly warm for January and double layers really weren't needed. Hard to get it right. I am debating which running shoes to get for my next pair myself. Might take a look at some Adidas, never had before. Keep up the good work 🙂

Never ran in adidas shoes as I found them bit narrow but good to see some entry/mid tier shoes getting some love on TH-cam all I see is carbon this n that £200-250 top tier stuff getting ran in might look into these solar glides myself

Well done both of you, strong performances💪Looks like a really scenic Parkrun😊

Stumbled across your video. Enjoyed it and looked like a great course. Polite suggestion, it would be really helpful as a viewer if you could briefly describe the location of the parkrun, from the accents I would guess north east, but the rising sun could be anywhere!

I need to do Rising Sun! Used to go orienteering there as a kid!!!

Today I'd planned to do my first ever park run. But saw rising sun was the only local one on (i live in whitley bay) and guessed it would be a bit hectic, so I took myself for a 1/2 marathon instead and ran past the rising sun en route. Lovely morning for it. Hopefully trying one next weekend. I watched this video to give me an idea of what to expect. Thanks for creating it, brilliant insight.

I hadn't come across your videos before today, but this one was recommended. That wouldn't be so unusual if i hadnt seen you recording outside Palmersville metro afterwards! I was just to the left of the shot of the sign (and hadn't even been at Parkrun) - what a coincidence. Great video in the conditions 👍🏻

Rich and Paula, Al Pepper and Freddy Runs in one video!! Talk about a New Year treat 😃😃. Haha. Great running once again in very tough conditions and a pretty tough course. Let me know where you’ll be heading next week so I can finally come say hello. I can’t wait to get back into it 😊

Haha, brilliant! Absolute professional!

Great stuff, well done Rich and Paula. I ran at Riverside on NYD, my first since 2nd November so it was a modest time but it was a revised course due to the river overflow so it was 5.2k. Flatter and quite interesting actually. Look forwa4d to more content from you this year, particularly on seeing how much you improve your PR PBs. Sub 24 easily. Happy New Year Year to you and Paula 🙂

I did a new year's day Parkrun today in 00:24:36 which isn't bad considering I stayed up until half past midnight.

Well done again for today's run guys. Great video was nice to speak to you today. Hope to see you at Rising Sun soon.

Lovely speaking to you this morning, Rich! 👋🏻

To explain the “just short of 5km” We were measured officially by Parkrun using the old fashioned school wheel thingy. However, the trees in the dene interfere with gps as does the turn around points, darn satellites hehe

Well done would you do it again

Nice to get a chance to say hello this morning Rich. Really enjoy your videos of the different parkruns. Denton Dene parkrun was very friendly, with lots of encouragement from the volunteers and it is definitely tougher up and down those hills than I expected. Good luck with your parkruns and other events in 2025 and I look forward to seeing more videos 😁

Great running well done both. I predicted a 24.30 for you Rich, you were even more rapid. Don’t be downhearted Paula, it’s never easy, it’s not meant to be. But you get out there and you get it done. Keep up the great work both of you. RESPECT!

That looks tough

Nice video, great stuff. Unfortunately I was cooking this yr so couldn’t make Parkrun. Well done to you both. Hope it was a very Merry Christmas. Looking forward to lots of content in 2025! 😊

Love Desmond Dene parkrun. Did it last Christmas on an icy day....the finish was.....challenging shall we say 😀 Great Vid!!

Great vid, All the best for 2025.

Hi Rich, a solid run from both Paula and yourself to close 2024, and that course was definitely not flat Mr Run Nation! That climb (x 2) looked a bit unpleasant. Yes, spotted @AlPepperRuns right at the start, I'll have to check out his video if I get a moment. I'm running in the famous Christmas tree outfit tomorrow, weather forecast not good (rain and wind) so let's hope I don't get blown over at Warrington Parkrun🤣

Haha, apologies Rich! Great clip though!

Lol

Well done Rich. Another great time looked a good course. You have a great year all them pbs. Tell your wife she is a star 🤣🏃‍♂️

Lovely vid, well done both. Can't beat a nice hot choc after a run!! Have a fabulous Christmas both of you 🙂

interesting club, i watched my team heaton stannington play them when they played at willington AFCs ground a couple years back before we got promoted

Well done for getting out there, I was having my breakfast in Funchal when you were both suffering in the muddy conditions. I can understand why Paula wished she’d stayed in bed, I’d have probably felt the same😂
