Fair enough, but Ben Lomond is very popular due to being so accessible from Glasgow.

Thank you 💪💪

Haha, cheers, mate! It really was a class day out. Thanks for the support, as always, mate 💪. This is next on the agenda for you and me! I think me and Grant will run up this on a clearer day. Then maybe bag some more munros next.

Thank you so much! Couldn't do it without you and Natalie looking after the dogs and kids. It really was an epic day out

Think I commented on Grants comment thinking it was yours lol. Yes it really was an epic day out. Thanks again for all the support from you guys 😀

Cheers mate! There was definitely a few sketchy moments 🤣. Yeah it really is a great trail. I think we are heading back in the next week or so, to attempt to run it and hopefully do it in around 2 hours something. Thanks again for the support buddy 👍

The main STAR 🌟! Haha I appreciate this so much mate. I know we all go through so much out there, especially in the dark. It can be tough at times, but you smashed it also mate. Well done 👏. Haha no worries , I just class it as friendly banter lol. It's what we do, it's how we get by 💪. See you in the next one 😅🤣

For* 😂

Haha he tripped me up mate 🤣! Thanks mate I really appreciate that. It was some experience and one I would do again. Glad the footage came across alright 👍. Got to love the KEEEEEMON hashtag. Let go 💪. Get you out to this next year mate 😁

Cheers mate 👍 👌. I appreciate the support as always 💯

Thanks mate 👍. Yes! Definitely, my legs are still saying the same 🤣. Thanks for the support 🙏

Thanks mate! Yeah, I'll definitely be back. It really was a great night out 😊. Oh wow! Epic mate. Madrid will be a cracking marathon 👌. Good for you. Yeah, I've not really posted about it yet but I'll be having another crack at G2E next year 😎. Let's Go 💪

Thank you so much and yhabks for playing such a big part in it. Putting up with us to start with 🤣. Thanks again. It really is appreciated 👏

Bro 💙

Thanks Ben! I take so much inspiration from your video and when I was out there I was thinking , is this what Ben feels like? Yeah it was a cool layout and they really thought of everything. Enjoyed it and I'll probably be back next year 👀😜. Thanks again for all your support it really means so much mate. Oh and for the gopro tip, night time recording 🏃‍♂️🙏

Ah thanks JB! Haha that's all that it ends up , isn't it 🤣. Good banter all the same haha. I really appreciate it JB thanks again. No they did not. Had everything else though pizza, snacks, cola , sweets, active root. Going to do a review vlog later in the week. When I can walk properly. Running through those cramps, really damaged my muscles. It wasn't even the mileage as such. Appreciate the support my man 💪

Thanks Callum. Haha he really is a star performer on this occasion lol. He smashed it. So glad I was doing it with him though. To keep me powering through. Ah, thanks for the top support matey. I'll get it done this week at some point when I can walk properly lol

You're very welcome 🙏. Thanks for tuning in. It's hugely appreciated 👏. It was a great day out.

I'm sorry to hear this, mate. It's very inspiring to see so many blind runners out there smashing these runs, though. It must be a real sense of achievement, nothing holiding you back from achieving greatness. I hope one day, too, that with all the advanced research that they can help get your vision back, buddy. The Scottish bagpipes get me every time. Thanks again for your support.

Thanks Ryan! Ah it was exactly what I needed. Seeing you guys at the start and finish! Appreciate all the support 🙏. Well done on Chicago ⭐️✨️🙌

Thanks mate 👍. I really appreciate the support as always 🙏. It was a fantastic day all round 😀 .

I don't think I've ever had such a detailed race comment, you really painted the full picture and let me experience it from your eyes! Thank you for that 😀. I must say scotland street has caught me out a few times, and I would say that it's all about those first few hills. I've went out too hard. You maybe don't think it, but sometimes you get carried away. Especially under rave atmosphere, you get excited lol. Watch my last few GSR vlogs I've been hanging on every time. Going into training for next years half, have a real think about taking it over easy, until you are more or less out of Pollok park. It's those hills between mile 6 and 8 that hurt the most. Especially if you go too hard on the first Mile. Thanks for all the support mate 👍

My man 💪

Yessss my man 💪!! Really appreciate that. The perfect run 🏃‍♂️ 👌 😍

Yeah mate! That makes sense. Really looked like a lot of people were crammed into the green wave for some reason . Again fantastic day out though. Thanks for the support 👍 🙏

Fantastic Alan. It's something to focus on. Good for you mate 👍

Thanks again mate. I really appreciate the support 🙏

Cheers mate! I really appreciate the support 🙏

Cheers Ben. I really appreciate the support as always my man 💪. Yeah it was touch and go for a couple of weeks eh! Glad I made it to the start 🙌

Yeah definitely mate! Have we been doing it wrong all along 🤣. Thanks for the top support as always buddy and great to see you on the day.

Fantastic mate! Yeah I just seen that , gave you a follow back. There should be a link in the vlog description 😀. This has honestly been such an eye-opener for me on how to approach races going forward. A bit like yourself , I've paid the price every year and never learned. Thanks for the support mate it's hugely appreciated 👏

Thanks for the link mate! Appreciated

Thanks mate! I really appreciate that 👍. I have a what's app group chat if you fancied joining that. Full of like minded people. Are you local to Glasgow?

@@runningwithstephen Nice one! yes I'm based in Bearsden. Sent your Whatsapp a wee invite request.

Awesome mate! Added you. Hopefully we could meet up for some WHW trails if you were up for it? At some point 👍

@@runningwithstephen Totally up for it. Let me get 5K under my belt a few times ;-)

Fantastic John! Haha I know the feeling. We had a guy dressed as a bear in front of us and I didn't want to be beaten by him 🤣. Well-done for getting it done though. Takes alot to see past and push through that injury. Hope you're doing well now. 🙌. Thanks for watching 👀 🙏

Yeah I know mate. Last year ot was a week apart and by the looks of it, it's a week apart next year. So I may have another go at it 👀 haha.

Hey Alan , it was last weekend. It had crossed my mind for next year but I may do the great Scottish run.

Thanks mate! I really do appreciate that 🙏. Yeah I felt in absolute control towards the end. Best I've ever felt, to be honest. I think I really learnt alot about myself on this race. It was epic. Thanks again for the support mate

You know John I learnt a very valuable lesson yesterday, about myself. How my body responds to just holiday back , knowing the route and knowing when to kick on properly. Your spot on. It was perfect and it made for such a cracking day because of it. Loved it. Thanks again for the huge support, mate. It really is appreciated 👏

Haha what a catch phrase Simon. I'll use that next year 🤣. Yeah definitely mate. I learnt a very valuable lesson yesterday about myself and how it feels to perfectly execute a race. Rather than getting carried away. Thanks again for all your support mate. It's hugely appreciated 👏.

Thank you so much Liz! Really glad you enjoyed the vlog. I loved making it and lived everything about that day 💪. It was perfect. That's the way, at least you got it over the line 👏👏. Well done. Yeah, it was so nice out on the course, people coming up to mr as well as the spectators shouting. It really was a very humbling experience. I was going to skip next year and have a cracking at G2E again. But a huge part of me just wants to relive that experience. Thanks again for all your support. It's hugely appreciated, always 🙏

@@runningwithstephen it is a great race I just had a bad day... 😂I'm hoping too do the half next year I do love that route and I've Done it twice b4....i run pollok /Bella a lot and the clydeside... Really enjoyed that video... The big bear in front of you at the start is my friend John he was running for autism... 😁x

@lizgreen2936 oh wow! If only I had knew

Thanks Alan! It was such an iconic day. One of the best I've had from start to finish. Yeah they love it so much, zander hung back and ran with Grant. To help him cross the line. Both of them are little super starts. Thanks again for all your support matey 👍. Hopefully we can get another we run in soon. 💪💪

Thanks so much mate 👍. It was an absolute blast and I gained a little bit more knowledge about myself and racing . Thanks again for your continued support mate. It's hugely appreciated 👏

Thanks Ben , it was s fantastic day. One of those runs that everything just goes to plan. I suppose staying sensible plays a huge part in that. It really was one of the best and strongest runs I've ever had. Yeah huge kudos to grant. What a legend for rocking up and getting it done. Thanks again for all the support matey, it's always massively appreciated 👏

I know mate! I can't believe how well it went. The whole run I felt super strong 💪. Mate I really do appreciate that so much 🙏. Thank you for the support 👍. It really goes a long way 😌🙏. Oh and going forward I think this is how I'll run my races, about 30 seconds of pace and gradually build into them. It felt absolutely epic 😎

@runningwithstephen Aye you looked a lot more comfortable than you did last year. I've only got one speed and that is slow. I'm slowly learning to run with a new stride so I do intervals. 1 or 2km max then rest for 60-90 secs. I got round it in 2hrs 15 which I was pleased with as I nearly never made it due to an inflamed bowel. Thankfully that never caused any grief on the day.

@rydo2012 yeah I remember you saying mate. That's fantastic you made it round. Really well done mate. I'd maybe suggest pyramid intervals. Like 200m 400m 600m 800m 600m 400m 200m with 60/90 sec rest for the longer efforts. Well done mate 👍 👏

Thanks mate! I hugely appreciate your support as always. Yesterday was such a good day out. Can't believe how good it was for us both. You smashed it man. Keep up the hard work!

Cheers mate! I really appreciate the support as always 🙏

Cheers matey! Really appreciate the top support 🙌

Thanks Stephen! Aye both of them were super inspired yesterday by our efforts. Zander didn't want his uncle Grant crossing by himself, so he held off, coming with me to run with him. Super thoughtful of him. Everything we go to an event the question is always asked straight after, can we do this next year with you lol. They are in for a shock when they actually can 🤣. Really appreciate the support, all of the time. Thank you.

Hey mate! Ah it really was fantastic to see you on the route. How did your race go?

@@runningwithstephen loved it. Broken today :)

@barryure75 epic mate! Make sure you get on your recovery 💪. I'm feeling remarkable today haha. Might try a wee run tomorrow or Wednesday. To do the recap vlog 💪
