Pennine 39 ultra marathon. Can I finally complete it at the third time of asking?
Pennine 39 ultra marathon organised by Nav4adventure. 37 miles along the Pennine Way from Bowlees to Alston.
The route follows a classic section of The Pennine Way, through the Cumbrian / Durham Pennines. From Bowlees you pass Low Force and High Force waterfalls on glorious Mid-Teesdale riverside paths. Next comes the amazing cascade of Cauldron’s Snout followed by the high, remote and stark Cow Green Reservoir, marking the start of the traverse through to the magnificent geological feature of High Cup Nick. This is quite simply an awesome slice out of the landscape leading in turn to a steady descent to the Dufton Checkpoint. The climb to Old Man Knock follows, before a traverse over Great Dun Fell and Crossfell, the highest point of England outside of the Lake District. A checkpoint at the iconic ‘Greg’s Hut is a welcome sight before a long descent to Garrigill. Riverside paths to the finish at Alston complete an amazing day.

Well done Dom! Great video and third time lucky 🥳

Well done

Nice going 💪
@@markcameron3 cheers mate
I don’t see how you can keep going for 50 miles. Well done
@@paulbailey7641 thank you
Well done, great time
@@PhilHowarth-gv8py thank you
How strict are they on kit at this one, mate? Suggested list seems excessive. Cheers.
The kit is in place because of how remote it is but there was no formal kit check they just say they expect you to carry it because you might need it especially if anything happened to you out on the course
Fab video - thanks SO MUCH for sharing (and for volunteering x)
Any time!
Great video and well done on your time! It brought back great memories of a lovely day out!
Cheers Tim. It was a really good day out. Congratulations to you too
Well done Dom, but it’s 2024! 😊
Thank you and thank you for pointing out my mistake 🙈🙈 I’ve just edited it
smashed it pal, weldone
Cheers mate
Well done Dom looking good mate 👍👍
Thank you
Great stuff Dom 👍👍 love all your videos
Great job. Always good to help others 👌
I’m one of the run through pacers too mate, last one I went to they didn’t have any flags 😂
Well done👍
Thank you
Just found your channel great vidi dom lokedd toughwel done.
Thank you
Well done 👌
Thank you
Run while you can Dom. I've been injured since January and, if I'm honest, not been good since we had a chat at the Setpents Trail. My knees not good, that I've started cycling 😂
I hope you can get back running soon
Cheers Dom for taking time to record this. Fantastic footage. Absolutely loved it. Great atmosphere and an incredible event to be part of. Congratulations to yourself on a brilliant effort. Good luck with upcoming challenges.
Thank you. It really was a fantastic experience. Are you back in for 2025?
@@Domsrunningjourney It’s difficult to plan anything at the moment but I would certainly hope to be back in 2025. Love Leeds Marathon. It’s my home city event so I always feel a bit of added pressure going into it.
Great effort Dom.. loved the film..👏👏
Thank you Tom
Well done fella 👏
Cheers mate
my favourite race, I'm into my 12th year of competing this year, absolutely love it, most fun per £ of any race
Nice one Dom, I gave you a shout when I saw you run past on the other side of the road then again when I’d caught up. Was looking strong. Well in
Thank you and thanks for the shout out
Definitely got the urge to sign up again for 2025!!!
I’ve just signed up again for 2025
Cheers Dom. Loved this video. Hope you had a good day. Ps. Chris ‘Rhinoboy’ Green 2:00. Absolute legend. 😆🤩
Thank you
Was great to see you before the start and on the route mate! Amazing day 😁
Great to see you too mate
Great video, Dom!
Thank you
Great effort!
Thank you
Keep it up matey. We’ve all been there. You’ll be back at it soon enough.
Thank you
well i did it today fab race managed Trooper lane without stopping and still felt strong after that river crossing was good finished 1h58 came 231 out of 403 runners defo doing it again next year
Well done and I’ll hopefully be there too next year
@@Domsrunningjourney just about recovered from it will be at the all new Halifax 10k at Greetland 1st Sunday in July this replaces the Helen Winsor 10k
Hi Dom…… I was trying to be stood on the start line for this years “Fellsman”, but other commitments stopped me….. there is something about the Fellsman which draws you back yearly…. A fantastic atmosphere, great people and a fab, tough route… so 2025 I’ll be there for my 10th Fellsman, hopefully with Joe and fingers crossed you will be back too. The event finds the weaknesses in you and has certainly done that to me before, but you’ll come back stronger and complete the traverse.
Cheers Jon. Hopefully see you and Joe there next year
Great effort Dom from a fellow DNF. Sounds like you have a plan to get your fitness back to where you would like. Good luck and come back stronger next year.
Thank you. Are you back next year?
I am yes. Now i know the course i will hopefully be better prepared. Plus i really enjoyed the organisation of the event and the friendly supportive atmosphere.
You did great to get as far as you did with those ascents and descents. Will you be doing the Stanza Stones again or will you put that on the back burner as well?
Thank you. I haven’t made a decision on stanza stones yet I’m going to see how the next few weeks goes
You do some great videos...ya do some fantastic racers n miles ...well done
Thank you
Great effort mate. Did this 10 years ago and it ruined me😂 completed it but didn't run properly after for years. You cant half arse the fellsman. Brought back some memories this. Take some time out and get the love back.some valuable lessons learned. Stay strong
Thank you and I’ve definitely learned my lessons for next time
Great to walk with you on Saturday Dom, top bloke. Shook your hand at Redshaw hopefully see you next year. Great video loved it👍
Thank you. Great to meet you too. How did you get on?
Great effort Dom with all the filming too
Thank you
Thank you
Some epic scenery 👌
Thank you
Great film Dom.. and inspiring assessment at the end.. I started doing longer runs 6 years ago.. age 54..from marathons to 50 milers.. then some extreme challenges .. I had momentum and got fitter and fitter.. and went further.. then the last year I’ve had injuries and not been able to train.. so doing the long ultras got harder and harder .. so have stopped to take stock and smell the roses and couldn’t be happier just now as I’ve stopped the juggernaut which was destroying me.. had a few DNF last year and knew I needed to stop.. ultras are hard on the body and mind and sometimes we need a break to reset .. you’re doing the right thing and will come back fitter and stronger in the mind and body.. you’ve done some great stuff and don’t need to prove yourself to anyone.. good luck and take your time.. best wishes.. Tom
Thank you
Why not just wind it all right back and enter some trail runs ranging from 10k up to half marathon? Lakeland Trails series for example. No presure, well organised, great people and a great day out. Or look at doing some of the shorter fell races? You'll get more confidence, can do more as recoveries will be shorter, get fitter and most importantly, enjoy them. Longer isnt always better, there will always be something more insane for every event you do. You can always built it back up to marathon and ultra distance if you want. Hope to see you out on the trails again soon. Take care pal
I will be looking at doing some shorter races once I’m fit enough to enjoy them I just struggle with the shorter ones being too competitive with them and trying to run faster than my capabilities and I then don’t enjoy feeling that rubbish
Great effort, it is a difficult thing getting training/race and recovery balance right. If you are looking for some shorter distance events with a great race day atmosphere and generous cut offs then I can recommend Punk Panther races, based out of Otley, North Leeds. 13/20 mile and higher trail races.
Thank you I’m definitely looking at doing some shorter races and just trying to enjoy them again
Good effort mate,it takes a lot of guts to be on that start line and even more guts to admit to yourself that changes need to be made. This sport we do and the community involved is the best and we are super lucky to be part of it, keep fighting mate and if you want something so bad you will find a way to achieve it. Massive respect to you buddy. 😊
Thank you
What an amazing effort! I hope that you aren't too disappointed to be proud of yourself because you still did brilliantly. I know how you feel with the fitness and training though, I was doing really well towards the end of '21 but the last couple of years have been a real struggle. I understand pulling out of your other events but could you not still do Endure 24? It's such a fun event whether you are doing one lap or 20, it's something you could still enjoy without the worry of a DNF or overdoing it.
Thank you. I did think about still going to endure and just trying to enjoy it but I know how competitive I get with myself and would have pushed myself too far. I’ll be there in 2025 fitter and with a goal of doing 100 miles
Do what you gotta do but it's a brilliant event where you can get those ultra vibes whatever your fitness and I think sometimes we need that feeling.
52k and 2500 plus in elevation is a good effort. take the time to get your fitness back and come back stronger. you'll smash it next year
Thank you
Looks like a special type of fun, great work
Enjoyed that, have a cracking run next race cheers from Australia
Thank you
Well done! I shall be chasing the cut-offs on my first 50 miler on the 11th of May. It'll be the furthest I have ever done and it's the first time I'm not sure if I will get timed out. It's a bit scary!
Thank you and good luck for your race
Well done lad lovely day for it
Thank you and it certainly was
Great video 💯👍
Cheers mate
