      Good on you Sean! I’ve been rediscovering running recently and have been loving it, however I have managed to shatter my clavicle by coming off my bike! I will rewatch this film in 6 weeks when I am allowed to run! 🏃🏻‍♂️ Best wishes, Simon Conway (perhaps a distant relative?!)

    Reminds me of a British Beau Miles. Would be good to see you do the 24hr Marathon - check it out. You've got a similar style and to put your own spin on it would be great to see. Keep em coming.

    Sean, from across the pond, congratulations on an absolutely terrific video documentary. At 72 yrs old and still running after 30 yrs your observations of just enjoying the run are spot on. I’ve run deserts and mountains. It’s amazing what you see in your environment when things slow down and your out just to enjoy wherever you may be.

    A good friend sent me the link to this. Great timing. Today is a running day. I had just got home from some errands and mixed my pre-work shake..I sat down to drink it and saw the mi with the link.. I recently stated running again..I hadn't ran in many years. I will 60 in 3 months. This was a great fun story and good motivation. Thanks Marissa and funny running guy.

    So inspiring Sean. When I started running, I started because I had to loose some weight. A year later I'm running because I love to run. And like you said, it's all about the adventures now. Love it!

    Loved this a lot! Your challenge was awesome, your poem was so great, and I laughed so hard at the dinosaur run! Especially the way the cows reacted. Motivation to keep running is a struggle and you made it look so enjoyable. Goings to end this to my running buddies.

    Oh dear. I live just a few miles away, on the other side of the Clwydians, and have thought, on any number of occasions when out on a run or bike ride "Hey, that looks like the weird beardie bloke who did the great youtube video of JOGLE a few years ago". And now I find out it probably was you all along - unless there is another similar beard in the area ! See you on Pen Clodd sometime !

  • @mitzllim3707

    I enjoyed this. Biggest takeaway was the skill vs motivation graph. Getting out that valley is hard.

    • @AlbertWeijers
      @AlbertWeijers ปีที่แล้ว

      That graph is not correct, on the x-axis is the time and both motivation and skill are on the y-axis. But anyway, the reasoning is still correct.

    Sean, you've hit the nail square on the head with this video. So many people get so caught up with pace, hr, vo2, trying to get that sub-3 , 4 ,5 hour whatever race they doing...But they lose the point of it all- to have fun, the thrill of traversing the landscape in the purest form there is, to adventure! Keep on rollin'!

    Well done Sean, and thanks for sharing.I really enjoyed watching the video during my treadmill run. I’ve been slowly trying to fall back in love with running after being quite unwell the last few years. I’ve been building back up the fitness slowly but surely. I started with a 6 minute jog and I’ve added a minute per day. Today was my first 45 minute jog after years and I’m so happy. Fingers crossed I can stay well and get fit and healthy again. Well done on your journey and thanks again for sharing.
