Glad you enjoyed the video David, it was really nice to meet one of my subscribers in the flesh. Yes it's a lovely off road Trail run, we are very lucky to have it!👍

Cheers Robin good to see you too, thanks for watching 👍

Thanks Guys very much appreciated 👍 Really sorry Dawn that your run was ended with sciatica. I'm sure you will keep on keeping on! No way will I do another!!👍

Thanks so much Paul, I really appreciate your very kind words! I am really pleased you enjoyed the video 👍

@@samsonslaphead1 no probs, I had a torrid time at Chester last year but will be back one day.

Thanks so much for watching Rachel! Keep up the fantastic work on your channel which I love to watch. Chester is a certainly a testing Marathon Course 👍

Thanks Danny, really appreciated! You picked a tough course for your first marathon.! Yes that half mile to the finish was brilliant, the support was awesome 👍

Thanks, maybe the World's are certainly tempting. I have already done London & Boston. If Berlin or New York came as an opportunity I may consider them but doubtful at this stage

Thanks a lot Ian much appreciated 👍

Thanks so much for your kind words, no more marathons, I really mean it 😉 Just HM & 10K's for me

Thanks Mark, there's no doubt I will miss it but not the training for it👍

Thanks you, really appreciate you watching 👍

Thanks so much & thank you for tuning in!

Cheers Mark 👍

Thanks Ian, really appreciate your local knowledge they certainly know how to make some noise at Heworth

It was Dean, despite the weather, really glad I finally got to tick the GNR off my bucket list! Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks for watching Matt, yes the course on the motorway sections were a little boring & I can't understand what the hype is about the GNR. Best bits of course was the mile finish at S.Shields & the crowd support. The course certainly had it's ups that I wasn't expecting. Well done at parkrun today 👍

Thanks Ralph I did enjoy that👍

Yes it was Stu, spoilt it a little bit but the amazing crowd support made up for it!

Thanks buddy I was over the moon with that, really appreciated 👍

Thanks Mark much appreciated 👍

Cheers Ian, yes very happy with my finish time thank you 😁

Yes it's a great medal & I was very happy to finish in a very respectable time too , thanks so much👍

Thanks Dean I surprised myself, really pleased with that time

Posing I think!

Cheers Ian absolutely delighted with that!💥

Bit early 😄

Oops I was never good at Geography🤣As one of Dick Emery characters said " I got it wrong again Dad"🤣🤣

Totally agree great course, thanks so much for watching 👍

Thanks so much for your lovely comments Dean very much appreciated. Yes I must return in winter to do the Out & Back, sounds like a good course

Cheers Mark it is a lovely course, the run Director was quite humorous. He & all the volunteers made it a great day

Sorry to hear that Stu! Have you deferred your entry until next year? I was injured last year & deferred mine for this year

That's fantastic Richard, 20 mile long run for 3 hours is top running.I will be doing a Vlog for Chester so if you see me please say hello. Good luck with your training too, many thanks 👍

@@samsonslaphead1 Thank you, looking forward to following your progress 🏃‍♂️

Thanks Mr&Mrs B much appreciated, never thought about cutting the chews into 3, might try it next time out. Yes love the kiprun shorts. I'm very lucky to have quiet country roads to train on

I'm really looking forward to the GNR after years of disappointment through the ballot. I'm in Orange C Wave. Good luck for the Yorkshire Marathon Dean, I'm sure you will do really well! Really appreciate your lovely comments, thanks so much 👍

Thanks so much Raymond for your comments & advice. I'm still waiting on some Tests but I am taking a well earned recovery now with most of my weekly training done at a very easy pace & low heart rate. Cheers 👍

@@samsonslaphead1I’m 63 today and hopefully I can keep going as long as I can. I’m like you, I run half marathons, done a full marathon EMF, just did a cycle ride from Carlisle to Cramond on the other side of Edinburgh, this was a 100 miles overnight, it was called Ride To The Sun. I would go out and sometimes feel really sluggish and can’t be bothered, that’s probably my body telling me to have a rest. My head tells me you’re fine but my body tells me to behave myself. I’m thinking of upping my training again as I fancy doing the Loch Ness marathon next year, I’ve got the Glasgow Half Marathon in October. I generally go and do a Half Marathon distance each month. Again take care and keep up your videos WHEN YOU CAN. No one expects you to push yourself just to put a post up. All the best 👍🏻🏃‍♂️

Hi Raymond, it's great to hear from a fellow older runner who has competed in similar races to myself & share the same experiences. We are both really lucky that we can still run these longer distances at our age. We do however have to have lots more recovery time than these young lads. Well done on your cycling event that's awesome! Good luck for the Glasgow HM & Lock Ness is a marathon that I've always wanted to do. Glad you are enjoying the videos, thanks 👍

@@samsonslaphead1Thanks, you take care.👍🏻🏃‍♂️

Thank you for watching the video, really appreciate your comments. Those are very impressive parkrun & volunteering figures, you'll soon get that magic 250 T shirt. Congratulations on all the different volunteering roles you've done too👏👏👏

Thank you! Cheers Dean, hopefully they will help me set some good times ⭐

That's a great volunteering ratio Ian, well done ✅ I have never tried being a Pacer & yes it must be fantastic feeling helping others achieve their goals. What time do you usually Pace at?

Fantastic Vicki that's a volunteer ratio of well over 25% to your total parkruns. Finish tokens is a great role, well done. Pacing duties is another great volunteering role of giving support to other runners to help them achieve their goals, good luck at Oakwell Hall

Fantastic Ian, over 100 Volunteer credits is amazing (That seems a long way away for me) . It must be a very satisfying experience being a VI guide too.

I forgot to say I was a RD at junior parkrun for a few years….

You've certainly earned your spurs as a Parkrun volunteer Ian👏👏👏✅

Well done Dean, I wish we had a nearby Junior parkrun as I would like to volunteer but the nearest one is over a 40 mile round trip. I bet you were gutted about Great Yarmouth being cancelled due to lack of volunteers but happy 😁 you made it to Gorleston . Well done for giving something back to parkrun ✅

That's absolutely incredible and thank you for giving so much to everybody else.

@deansummerton2577 Thank you, although I love it for what I gain from it myself 😃, volunteering has its own pluses for sure.

That's absolutely amazing Emma! Your dedication to being a parkrun volunteer is absolutely incredible and thank you so much for sharing your wonderful volunteering record with me. I bet there are not many people who can say they've volunteered more than you! You are truly an amazing inspiration. Well done ✅👍👏

Thank you for supporting everyone else. It's much appreciated.

Well done Ian, that's absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing your wonderful volunteering stats. Yes I like to barcode scan too

I think you will really enjoy Colney Lane despite the hill in the woods🤣 The volunteers are really friendly & there is free Tea & Coffee in the pavilion afterwards. I will look forward to the Vlog👍
