Gutted for you John. Hope you recover soon. Your videos have been my biggest source of motivation (and entertainment) in years. Top tips sounds great. Enjoyed your "What I take" video. Wishing you a speedy recovery 👍p.s. CWT over Pennine Way for me, but either would be a great achievement!
This is the part of the route im most familiar with having regularly holidayed around Ullswater since I was a kid. Was pretty shocked hearing you at the start say this was quite an uninspiring looking section. Glad to see it changed your mind. If you fancy another nice run in that area, the Silverpoint Trail on the other side of Ullswater is great. Pooley Bridge to Glenridding almost entirely off road. Just over 10 miles with a good bit of elevation and opportunities to tack on more if you feel like it. And you can always get the boat back if you don't fancy an out and back. Oh and it's pronounced Air-ra Force.
Really useful videos, shame could not continue and take to end back to Coniston. Thanks for producing. Race in 2 weeks. Hope the injuries heal up soon for your future races.
Great video John regardless of the outcome, any run is a good run. Gutted for you, nowt worse than an injury mid run, but you kept positive. Keep posting great videos, they motivating and a great watch. Tips and gear reviews sound great I'll be watching out for you.
Good to see you back John sorry your knee and Achilles’ tendon are injured, hope they soon recover with rest take it easy ! Look forward to your next video
Take time off. Don’t mess with Achilles pain otherwise a nice grey boot awaits 🤣. CWT plans sound awesome. I told you that was on my bucket list more than a bit jealous. That route is not boring. Gobarrow fell views over Ullswater are just fabulous (weather permitting). Have you thought about just walking/hiking the rest. No shame in that. Shows how fit and prepped you need to be to complete the Lakeland100. Next up ~ Top car parks in the Lakes featuring HighRow/Dockray 😂😂😂
Gutted for you John! Still a great video and I wish you a speedy recovery from the Achilles injury. Had the same issue last year and after a couple of weeks off followed by a gradual return to running I was back better than ever so fingers crossed for you
Welcome back John you legend! I've had shin splints for quite sometime now so watching your videos brings me some joy and hope that I can enjoy the summer on the trails!
Sorry about the ‘niggles’ but give yourself time to recover, frustrating though it is… I’m an ‘old fart’ now at approaching 65 and injured my Achilles last Nov (ironically just doing PR tourism while in Florida) but by taking things slowly with some good physio treatment was still able to complete the Lakeland 50 this year 👍
Thanks for another awesome video. Sorry about your injury and hope you recover soon. The format of your videos is excellent - great footage, beautiful scenery, informative(especially the LL100 recces) and you also add a very humbling human element to your videos which is rare in the world of You Tube channels. Keep it up!
Ahhh John! We were wondering where you'd got to but not great you've been out with injury :( And not great it's reared up again doing this. On a small plus side, you enjoyed the route that you did get to do and considering you thought it was going to be rubbish i'd take that :) Rest up and see you back out doing your thing when you're healed.
perfect way for me to wined down. get one of john's videos on and look forward to my next run. looking forward to getting myself to lake district hopefully soon. 3 peaks challenge in september 🤙
Gutted for you John, so frustrating and always the temptation to get back to it too soon. Was missing the videos but make sure you recover properly and err on the safe side
Take it easy and rest up mate. Will look forward to your next video. Injuries are always a nightmare to work through. Continuing with your S&C will have you back in no time 👍
I reckon you would remedy your "tripping up" on your words,if you cut your carbs and want on high fat keto diet. I believe the carb diet of most runners causes inflammation and contributes to most injuries.
I know the feeling. I've only managed to do a couple of fell runs but love the sense of freedom you get. Tricky for me as I live in a very flat, coastal part of the country so I can't really train for the mountains making it difficult to commit to a run rather than walk when I manage to get up to the Lakes.
@@djrensk same here in Essex.. I've got UTS next month, and I'm relying on local hill runs and full incline treadmill sessions to acclimatise my legs.. for accents and descents I know I can't replicate. 😂
Not a fail John. Getting out is merit in it's self. Keep up the good work Sir.
Welcome back mate. Another good un injuries aside.
Greylag Goose!
Looking forward.....
Thanks Peter. Recovery shouldn’t be long 🤟🏻
Very rational day out. Long term thinking in play. Best be race fit. Earthy as always and a great video. Hope you recover soon.

Slow and steady with the rehab. Come back stronger🤙🏼😊 You only fail when you DECIDE to. Failure is all part of success!

Cheers mate, shouldn’t be too long 🤘🏻
Top 5 Tips would be good. Inspire me to get out more and further, Stay Safe JM
It’s definitely in the pipeline 🤘🏻
Such a shame about the achilles John - that next bit through Swinburn's is absolutely gorgeous. Hope to see you back soon.
Shouldn’t be too long mate and then I’ll do it again 🤘🏻
Shame you didn't make your planned run John, but definitely not a failure. Great video none the less - keep up the good work! :)
I’ve struggled with achilles tendon issues in the past - recommend some light mobility exercises and stretching as it helps massively!
p.s. Already renamed as Aira Falls on all of my maps 😄
Hahaha it’s embarrassing! 🤦🏼♂️
Bok boks!

I believe the carb diet of most runners causes inflammation and contributes to most injuries.
It’s an interesting point mate I’ll definitely do some research on it. I steer clear of seed oil products due to inflammation already 👌🏻

Mark Sisson and Zach Bitter....for example
Not a fail.. just not a complete success 😬.. Got to listen to those niggles. Can’t wait to get back to the lakes for a run.. wish I lived closer.
