I voted for Kate! But I think Rick deserves far more votes for his devotion and willingness to be smacked in the face by tree branches. Well done Rick! Well done everyone!
Next challenge. Return to base. All 4 challengers dropped in separate locations and need to return to the a central base before the others. To truely make it a challenge they are not told where they are dropped off. Using a map and compass they need to find out where they are and how to get back. Works best in the countryside where they are no street names to give them clues on where they are. Need to use the landscape to work it out
Depending on how good Andy’s map skills are it could even the playing field a bit more. It’s a challenge that I used to use a scout back in the days when you could drop a group of kids in the middle of nowhere on their own
Challenge Idea: go plogging! Set a distance, grab a garbage bag and start picking up rubbish as you run! Person with the most garbage wins! And bonus points: the environment wins 4 times!
Challenge idea: you should get each participant to sustain a given pace e.g Andy has to see how long he can run for at 3:15mins/km, Kate 3:30 and Anna and Rick 4:45.
I guess I have to go try a strava art run now! Great video, and thanks a million for making me a featured commenter. Gave me a huge boost for crushing my 10k run today!
We love this idea and are working on putting something together now. Would you like to film a video introduction for us? If you email community@therunningchannel.com I can send you full details. Thanks, Sarah
Anna is my true winner! Kates drawing is best, sad to see her go over time:( i just think andy pulled a really dirty one, walking the picture and then running laps! Like anna said, its supposed to be *fun running*
@@Thegardener87 They prob want to be in London or Manchester then... In south Manchester, look how close Sale Water, Stretford, Alexandra and South Manchester [Platt Fields] are: you can do a route including all of the 4 courses and between them in under 30k. Then Fletcher Moss and Burnage aren't far away either; add them and you can get 6 parkrun courses in one 45km route.
I did an out and back challenge for my running mates which would be fun to see you guys do :o): Each runner has 30 minutes to do an out and back run and finish as close to your start point as possible. The person closest to their start point at exactly 30 minutes is the winner. The catch is, 20 minutes should be ran out and only 10 back. This is a good chance to push yourself and work on a bit of speed. A point system will be used to tally the results, every 0.1 mile is 1 point and of course, the aim is to have as few as possible. In the event of a draw, the person who ran the farthest overall distance will take the win, so going very slow at the beginning to gain an advantage, could end up losing you the challenge. The exact route out should be used for returning back to the start. Only one turn is permitted which happens at the 20th minute Filling time up and down streets or doing loops is not allowed.
Challenge: scouts/explorers do a monopoly run around London where you need to go to landmarks in the monopoly board in a time limit. You could have a penalty of 5 minutes added to your time for each landmark they weren't able to get too. Good luck
Challenge suggestion: do a boys vs girls blindfold three-legged 5K race with two players tied their feet together and one player got to wear a blindfold at all times
I just realised Anna’s art was supposed to be a giraffe 😳 all this time I thought she was going for the Eiffel Tower 😂 great job and great video as always
@@runningchannel Oh, is it a giraffe? :o I could tell Kate's was a face, Rick's a golf club, Andy a thumbs up/like button (but still feel the open field was a bit of a cheat!) but couldn't work out Anna's!
I will be staying up for this one here in Australia. I really want to see if my guess's on who did which run was right or not. My guesses are 1. anna 2. andy 3.kate and 4.rick.
I loved the stat cards haha!! I think Rick should have his tactics bar maxed out, though. He always comes up with a clever way to approach these challenges!
You guys are killing it with your channel. That's awesome. Congrats on all of your success. I get a kick out of a lot of your videos. I love your sense of humor. I haven't mastered that yet. Keep up the great work.
This was cool! I've been watching the Running Channel from almost the beginning I've noticed that low HR training, particularly Maffetone training (MAF) isn't something that's been covered in much detail (or at all?). I've been running at MAF for 11 months now and it's been the best thing to ever happen to my running. So here's the challenge: one or more of the Running Channel team to commit to training with Maffetone for a 3 month period and to document the journey in a weekly update video. I know it's not the most exciting challenge ever, certainly one that's impossible to do in just one video but I think it would be really interesting to see how different members of the team adapt. It's helped me improve so much and I'm sure it can others as well.
Anna for creativity. Rick for trying hard to get that ball as round as possible and readiness to climb trees to achieve that. Kate for attempting quite a complex piece ( not sure who it was supposed to represent) which looked really promising. Andy for clever planning and execution. Superb performance by each one of you!
I voted #2 Rick a participant 🏅. I thought it might have resembled a golf club but said nah, that would have been to simple so I guessed something else. Now this was a very fun challenge, great idea.
I loved all their different tactics. At first when the pictures were posted for voting honestly I was like eh...but now knowing the rules they had to stick to as well they all did great. I’ve competed in exercise art contest before but not with distance, time, and device rules, that’s tough.
The Running Channel Nice video, nice I have a good idea, With knowing Andy (done it in a field) much easier, (no traffic, no people, no cycles etc) Kate, Rick and Anna couldn't jump over a back garden wall (haha) to get a straight line. A poll into who's the best/your favourite one is.
Challenge suggestion. You cast votes each one of you individually how far the other three would reach in 30 minutes and then you take an average of the three votes to get the suggested distance per person. Then you start each one at your given distance and first one to goal line win. Or if you run at different locations just best time vs your set time for the distance win.
@@sparkey3800 The idea would be to level out the difference in absolute performance & yes Andy would be at a disadvantage ... but he is already well ahead 😁
The Running Channel Love your video. Have a good idea. All 4 of them ran a 5km race, then ran a (2nd) 5km race later on that day a hour etc later. Closet to there 1st 5km race time wins. But they can't know there first 5km time run (before completing the 2nd 5km run)
Challenge idea: MAF training style session for 5 miles. 180 - age = max heart rate each runner can run at (MAF number). Three possible metrics to determine the winner: 1. The runner who walks the least amount of time to keep their heart rate under their MAF number, 2. The runner who keeps their heart rate under their MAF number the most frequently, and/or 3. The runner who has the least amount of change between their normal pace and their MAF pace. Percent change should help equalize everything [(MAF test pace - average non-speed session pace)/average non-speed session pace]
All the team have 4 letter names, they have to find a route that has road names that feature the letters of their name. Anna needs to do 4 different roads so can’t do the same road twice 10k distance limit and a pace limit also applies
Challenge idea (if it hasn't been mentioned already): run a 5K backwards and see who can do it the fastest with. They could pre-choose a safe, uncrowded route and get to look back maximum of 3 times. :)
following on from this - you each have to draw the same artwork from very basic and simple instructions but arent aloud to know what you are drawing untill the end.
Challenge Idea: Each Contestant gets a certain fast pace (Andy 3:30, Kate 4:00 Rick and Anna 4:30) and try to run at that pace for the most time possible.
Hi guys, challenge accepted thought. How about a handicap 10 or 5 km race, where the faster presenters have either times added to their running or start at a later time to equalise the runners. A track run could be good to see if the faster runners could catch the 🐢 Rick....😁
I really do love your Challenge installments. Maybe you could do a challenge to run the London loop. Break it up into segments and give every one a select amount of time to run the hole thing. Fans could also post there own times to share.
A 10k run where your last 5km are faster than your first 5km, a point for each so a maximum of 5 points. Example km1 10 minutes km6 9 minutes and so on. You would have to have a maximum time to do it in dependant on your individual 10k results. Hope that makes sense 👍 Alternatively you could just do last one to the pub buys the drinks 😆
My challenge would be Monopoly - you’ve got one hour to run round London visiting as many places as you can on the Monopoly board. The winner is the person who racks up the biggest ‘value’ of properties.
Downhill Challenge: Without travelling more than 25 miles to a location, plot a 5K with the most downhill element. Points for most decrease in elevation or overall drop, and lastly points for largest improvement over the participant's 2019 best 5K time.
challenge idea: a geoguessr/treasure hunt. supplied with images of somewhat recognisable locations, you have to run and find as many as you can against the clock.
We love this idea and are working on putting something together now. Would you like to film a video introduction for us? If you email community@therunningchannel.com I can send you full details. Thanks, Sarah
Next challenge: On a track, see who can run the fastest 800m. THE TWIST: each team has 2 members, winner of the previous challenge chooses his team member first. Each team member has to run 400m (one lap). YOU HAVE TO RUN BACKWARDS.
Hey Eloise. We LOVE this idea. Could you email us at community@therunningchannel.com please as we really want to feature you (and your idea) in our next episode! Thanks, Anna
Next challenge : Greenwich Park Royal observatory to the o2 arena... Time handicap % and added time for the amount of museums and laps of cutty sark done .
You could try a MapRun F course. They are virtual orienteering courses you run at any time using the Map Run F app. There are courses for South London in Battersy, Richmond and Wimbledon. They are score events where you have a number of control points and a set time to get to as many points as you can, with penalty points if you go over time.
My Challenge suggestion is a backyard ultra, each in their own backyard but obviously running the same distance per hour, lets say 6km in the hour with rest and aid for the remaining minutes of that hour, then on to the next 6km and so on and so forth...similar to Anna's backyard marathon but until the last man/woman is standing.
I guess some ppl are just really good at going fast. My friend is really great at stuff like jumping high and running fast. While me.... Notttt so muchh!
Wow,...cool drawings. Inspired me to get out there and draw something. Next challenge- eat a full italian dinner and everyone runs a 10k. Last one to vomit wins.
What about checking who know the pace best for example 5km pace's run 1st km 6:30 , 2nd 5:00 , 3rd 6:00 , 4...5:00 , and last 5:30, count seconds difference's (smallest difference wins) U can only use watch to start the challenge and obviously to stop it after 5km
Challenge Idea: 5K + 5K does it equal 10K - have each person run two 5K runs (without watches over two days) and then run a 10K a few days later. the person with the closest combined 5K times to the 10K time wins. Runs should be on known routes with measured distances so no need for folks to pace themselves on their watches. This is old school run pacing on your own feeling.
You should add a title to each particpanta drawing naming what the end result picture was supposed to portray. I was left wondering what the heck most of the participants drawings were supposed to represent???
Challenge idea Who can run the fastest 5km the whole time backwards. The challenge being because you can only see what's technically behind (infront depending on how you look at this challenge by occasionally turning your head) those who are normally faster runners (looking at Andy or Kate here) have to care about their surroundings a bit more than normal. This may give Anna and Rick more of a chance to gain some points as all parties are a bit more equal here 😜
I guessed Anna's & Kate's. And mix up the guys. I liked Andy's best. What I do not understand is how Rick's drawing was so bad while cheating with a map?😂😂😂
Challenge idea: You are all dropped off 5km from a target location. However, you have not had the opportunity to plan your route. Who can make it to the target the fastest without gps, maps, asking for directions, or any other assistance.
Another challenge suggestion. Who can cover a 10km at the most deliberately slowest 'running distance' What I mean by this is the runners all have to be faster than walking pace but who can 'run' 10km deliberately the slowest. May be harder than it sounds as you always have to maintain a faster than walking pace but you also cannot speed up. It will take concentration and patience vs speed - another one where the 'slower' two may have an advantage over the 'faster' two 😉
Chunder Mile, 4 pints (or equivalent), 4 laps of 400m each. Two teams of two, one person drinks and then runs, tags partner and they do the same. Recovery is while your partner goes.
Great video. Next challenge could be a bit like biathlon. Every runner needs to do five laps in a 5k run. After every lap they need to pause to throw five balls into five buckets (one ball per bucket). Every time the runners miss a bucket they need to go on a penalty lap of 100m.
Jeezo where did that Andy find a field so large and cut fine like that? Certainly not any where I stay lol you could use it for sprints or mile bursts without having to worry about cars ect
challenge idea - dropped in different locations that are all the same distance from one central location and see how fast and if each person can make it back to the central location first. For social distancing, they could do this on separate days or have different central points that are just the same distance as to were they are dropped.
Well done Andy 👏 I think the next challenge should be who can climb the highest in an allotted time period ! So Andy gets 30 minutes, Kate gets 40 and Anna and Rick get 60 minutes. 👍
Next Challenge: Andy, Anna, Kate and Rick must each do a run of their choice and the longest one wins. However, they must run within a 30 mile radius of their houses and their route must be entirely uphill with not a metre of flat or descent. if this gets picked I'd like to apologise in advance to the runners 😂
Anna, love you darling. You are The Running Channels hardest working contributor, but what in gods name were you going for. I watched the whole video and I still don't get it.
That's so fun! Whenever I go on a bike ride I always try to see if a made a nice art hahaha didn't know it was a thing for the running community as well! :D
Definitely gaining popularity now for runners I think. How do you draw your art? Do you decide on a route beforehand with a shape in mind or make it up as you go along?
@@runningchannel I don't really do it with that much intention tbh, for me it's more like finding shapes in clouds. My favorite bike route for example is unintentionally shaped like a hippo... if I add some extra kms it grows a tail and ends up looking like a crocodile hahaha
↓↓Who do you think will win this one? Anna, Andy, Kate or Rick? Leave your guesses in the comments↓↓
Annnaaaaaaa!!!!
Anna
I believe the correct runner won. Andy accomplished the task in the given time with a well defined "piece of art".
Anna gets my vote!!! Hilarious challenge
I voted for Kate! But I think Rick deserves far more votes for his devotion and willingness to be smacked in the face by tree branches. Well done Rick! Well done everyone!
😂😂😂
Kudos to whoever came up with this idea.
We see what you did there 😂

Didn't that used to be a TV show? Also, is this even a running challenge?
Well they'd ideally run once they figure out where they need to go!
This is so great! Love a bit of self nav!
Depending on how good Andy’s map skills are it could even the playing field a bit more. It’s a challenge that I used to use a scout back in the days when you could drop a group of kids in the middle of nowhere on their own

Love it!!
fastest mile with an egg on a spoon
Love it
100% this one
Yes absolutely
Omg yes!!
If a mile is too far you could always go for a kilometer/800m/400m or longest distance.
Challenge idea: you should get each participant to sustain a given pace e.g Andy has to see how long he can run for at 3:15mins/km, Kate 3:30 and Anna and Rick 4:45.
Ooo! Great one!
That’s a super idea!!!
Awesome video guys. Shame you didn't film your reactions when you first saw your strava art, I reckon that would have been funny 😂
I guess I have to go try a strava art run now! Great video, and thanks a million for making me a featured commenter. Gave me a huge boost for crushing my 10k run today!
Not a challenge suggestion, but general content suggestion: Make a series about training with a coach as a non-professsional runner.
that'd be great to see
Challenge Idea: Treasure Hunt. Presented with a list of 50 places/objects, each presenter has 1 hour to tick off as many as possible.
LOVE THIS IDEA!
Interesting
Like this one. Maybe give each a point value. Harder ones worth more.
We love this idea and are working on putting something together now. Would you like to film a video introduction for us? If you email community@therunningchannel.com I can send you full details.

Linnea
I agree with you, it's suppose to be fun, yet Andy pulled a fast one.
I think Andy just read the rules better. Run smarter not harder.👍👍
Challenge idea: how many parkrun routes can they do in one day?
Ooo, good one. No car allowed to get between them either?
The Running Channel I like where this is going 👀🏃♀️
No car? That's a lot of miles. Public transport not really an option at the moment. This could be a brilliant challenge. Nice one Janet. 👍🏻
@@Thegardener87 They prob want to be in London or Manchester then...
In south Manchester, look how close Sale Water, Stretford, Alexandra and South Manchester [Platt Fields] are: you can do a route including all of the 4 courses and between them in under 30k. Then Fletcher Moss and Burnage aren't far away either; add them and you can get 6 parkrun courses in one 45km route.
@@JasonCliftJones sounds like you've already nailed the challenge. Don't give them too many ideas!!!
It would be great to see you guys take on guide running... how does it feel to run without being able to see?
Great idea! Thanks
I did an out and back challenge for my running mates which would be fun to see you guys do :o):
Each runner has 30 minutes to do an out and back run and finish as close to your start point as possible. The person closest to their start point at exactly 30 minutes is the winner. The catch is, 20 minutes should be ran out and only 10 back. This is a good chance to push yourself and work on a bit of speed. A point system will be used to tally the results, every 0.1 mile is 1 point and of course, the aim is to have as few as possible.

Rick is my choice!
He’s a great sport 👌
Kate had a great drawing when she ran out of time. Do-over! I suspect now that you've all had a chance to try this the next ones will be even better.

Omg I was literally spot on with my predictions on who drew which one! 😂
😂 love Rick - cracked me up with the map - genius!....next challenge run 8-10k in sweatsuit or multiple layers of clothing

ATTEMPT THE NAVY SEAL FITNESS TEST
challenge idea how many parkruns can you do in one day no transport allowed
👏👏👏👏 well done everyone, never expectd this outcome. Can't wait to watch the next challenge.
Challenge suggestion. You cast votes each one of you individually how far the other three would reach in 30 minutes and then you take an average of the three votes to get the suggested distance per person. Then you start each one at your given distance and first one to goal line win. Or if you run at different locations just best time vs your set time for the distance win.
Sounds like a lot of maths...! (Anna)
Idea for the next challenge - each person runs 5k. The best performance relative to their lifetime publicized PB wins.
Andy would loose
@@sparkey3800 The idea would be to level out the difference in absolute performance & yes Andy would be at a disadvantage ... but he is already well ahead 😁
Mark Mackay true
Well done Andy. It’s was a basic drawing but very well done 👍
The Running Channel
Love your video. Have a good idea.
All 4 of them ran a 5km race, then ran a (2nd) 5km race later on that day a hour etc later. Closet to there 1st 5km race time wins.
But they can't know there first 5km time run (before completing the 2nd 5km run)
Challenge idea: Whoever can run a 4:45/km or under for the longest amount of time wins.
"keep the ball round" 😂 admire the commitment there!
We're going to come back to you with a challenge ;-)
Challenge idea: MAF training style session for 5 miles. 180 - age = max heart rate each runner can run at (MAF number). Three possible metrics to determine the winner: 1.

All the team have 4 letter names, they have to find a route that has road names that feature the letters of their name. Anna needs to do 4 different roads so can’t do the same road twice 10k distance limit and a pace limit also applies
Well done Andy!!!! Never thought it was you who did number 4,even though I voted for it! 😃😃😃 Well done everyone!👏
Haha thank you!
You can change your watch from km to miles during the exercise. It works fine.

Yeah defo Kate wins for me. Also, how fast is Kate that she only gets 6 minutes longer than a former olympian??
I guess some ppl are just really good at going fast. My friend is really great at stuff like jumping high and running fast. While me.... Notttt so muchh!
seems pretty fair, her 10k time is sub 38. 36 over 30 is 20% extra time.
@@pooyahat I suppose it is fair when you see it as a percentage.
Wow makes me appreciate Jerics amazing strata art even more.
Haha yep Jeric is a great artist 👌
This was great. Y'all killed it. I liked all of them.
Hello. Can I check how do u do plan the run and do up the thumbs up art? Am fascinated with the run art done.
Thanks for watching! You can use a mapping app - like Strava - to plan out your run (and design!) in advance 😊
Wow,...cool drawings. Inspired me to get out there and draw something. Next challenge- eat a full italian dinner and everyone runs a 10k. Last one to vomit wins.
Haha 😂
What about checking who know the pace best for example 5km pace's run 1st km 6:30 , 2nd 5:00 , 3rd 6:00 , 4...5:00 , and last 5:30, count seconds difference's (smallest difference wins) U can only use watch to start the challenge and obviously to stop it after 5km
Great idea, thanks!
Challenge Idea: 5K + 5K does it equal 10K - have each person run two 5K runs (without watches over two days) and then run a 10K a few days later. the person with the closest combined 5K times to the 10K time wins. Runs should be on known routes with measured distances so no need for folks to pace themselves on their watches. This is old school run pacing on your own feeling.
Thanks for the suggestion Robert!
You should add a title to each particpanta drawing naming what the end result picture was supposed to portray. I was left wondering what the heck most of the participants drawings were supposed to represent???
Challenge idea
Who can run the fastest 5km the whole time backwards.
The challenge being because you can only see what's technically behind (infront depending on how you look at this challenge by occasionally turning your head) those who are normally faster runners (looking at Andy or Kate here) have to care about their surroundings a bit more than normal. This may give Anna and Rick more of a chance to gain some points as all parties are a bit more equal here 😜
Thanks for the suggestion James 🙂
I guessed who ran each, but was way off on the results. I loved the giraffe! And Rick... oh Rick. Lol
I guessed Anna's & Kate's. And mix up the guys.
I liked Andy's best.
What I do not understand is how Rick's drawing was so bad while cheating with a map?😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Challenge idea: who can run the fastest 5K backwards. Can use whatever aid they like as long as they are not physically looking backwards
Challenge idea: finish as many Strava segments as possible during one run
Challenge idea: You are all dropped off 5km from a target location. However, you have not had the opportunity to plan your route. Who can make it to the target the fastest without gps, maps, asking for directions, or any other assistance.
Do they have a sextant at least?
John Airey they can carry a globe!!!
Who can run for the longest? That's my idea. Hope you like it
Niiiice! Who do you think would win that one?
@@runningchannel Hmm I think maybe Rick. Because he's good at longer runs
Not ultra runner Anna??
@@runningchannel I think Rick just might beat her. But I do think Anna is really good at longer distances too
@@willsmallwood4105 Could be aha
Another challenge suggestion. Who can cover a 10km at the most deliberately slowest 'running distance'
What I mean by this is the runners all have to be faster than walking pace but who can 'run' 10km deliberately the slowest. May be harder than it sounds as you always have to maintain a faster than walking pace but you also cannot speed up. It will take concentration and patience vs speed - another one where the 'slower' two may have an advantage over the 'faster' two 😉
Nice, thanks James!
Chunder Mile, 4 pints (or equivalent), 4 laps of 400m each. Two teams of two, one person drinks and then runs, tags partner and they do the same. Recovery is while your partner goes.
🤢
Andy was the most clever in this challenge. Too bad Kate was disqualified, her drawing was awesome.
Great video. Next challenge could be a bit like biathlon. Every runner needs to do five laps in a 5k run. After every lap they need to pause to throw five balls into five buckets (one ball per bucket). Every time the runners miss a bucket they need to go on a penalty lap of 100m.
Great idea, thanks!
Whaaaat an amazing challenge 🤗🥳🥳🥳 I loved all the drawings and efforts.
Thank you so much 😀
Love these videos guys, they're totally awesome.
What great fun! We enjoyed watching the process. Have tried myself but nowhere near worth mentioning.
Glad you enjoyed it 👌
Jeezo where did that Andy find a field so large and cut fine like that? Certainly not any where I stay lol you could use it for sprints or mile bursts without having to worry about cars ect
challenge idea - dropped in different locations that are all the same distance from one central location and see how fast and if each person can make it back to the central location first. For social distancing, they could do this on separate days or have different central points that are just the same distance as to were they are dropped.
This sounds like a lot of fun!
Well done Andy 👏 I think the next challenge should be who can climb the highest in an allotted time period ! So Andy gets 30 minutes, Kate gets 40 and Anna and Rick get 60 minutes. 👍
Great suggestion, thanks Paul!
Next Challenge: Andy, Anna, Kate and Rick must each do a run of their choice and the longest one wins. However, they must run within a 30 mile radius of their houses and their route must be entirely uphill with not a metre of flat or descent. if this gets picked I'd like to apologise in advance to the runners 😂
Wow, that’s a savage challenge Jonas 😂
Anna, love you darling. You are The Running Channels hardest working contributor, but what in gods name were you going for.
I watched the whole video and I still don't get it.
😂😂😂 it’s a giraffe!!! 🦒 (Anna)
@@runningchannel You have a good sense of humor also. Enjoy the challenges!
I really love these!
Funny but OK so you all win coze you done it !@@ Congratulations for all of you 🏆🏆🏆🌟👊💪😉👍😜🥰
Thank you 😁
That's so fun! Whenever I go on a bike ride I always try to see if a made a nice art hahaha didn't know it was a thing for the running community as well! :D
Definitely gaining popularity now for runners I think. How do you draw your art? Do you decide on a route beforehand with a shape in mind or make it up as you go along?
@@runningchannel I don't really do it with that much intention tbh, for me it's more like finding shapes in clouds. My favorite bike route for example is unintentionally shaped like a hippo... if I add some extra kms it grows a tail and ends up looking like a crocodile hahaha
I like how only one person did it without sneakily cheating the rules
