I love how after 6 hours of climbing over every rock in SW England, then spending the next few days cycling as hard as you can, and deadlifting heavy weights, there's an "easy 10k with the dog" later. I'm working on just the 10k part (actually 5k to start), but this is all inspiring. I appreciate your videos. They are inspiring.
Awesome video, I've run this race 2 times, and it's been brutal and beautiful, I managed to get cramp in both calfs each time about 20 miles in 😆 I'm signing up for 2024 💪
Great video….wish there was more! I live in Sennen Cove and walk that coast path regularly….I’m too old for running now….and know how difficult some sections can be. Good effort. Well done ! 👍🍷
I dont understand why this channel doesnt have more subs... You are funny and motivating at the same time. I am usually very picky about what I am gonna watch in my free time. I hope that maybe this weight loss thing gonna blow up. People love before and after stuff. Or maybe you have to let Nixon choose your next race or something. :D
Tell me about it 😂. The weight loss thing is my last ditch effort. If I don’t get some views when I’m ripped to the bone….. I’ll call it day. Unfortunately, it’s almost a full time job….. that pays less than a paper round 😂😂😂
I was on Sundays race...the moors were so boggy thanks to u lot on a Saturday lol. I retired at 20.5 miles. (In the valley were the photographer was after checkpoint 3 ) I did so well to get there as my fear of heights (which is worse above water) was tested. But everyone on course is loverly. I woukd recommend this. Great to see your video. The moment u said u loved out of the Moor and running to the path I hated...that's when the fear was getting to me alot.
I was walking the SW coast path the day before and during race day (I was ahead thankfully). I was walking the north coast section of the course through Zennor down to Lands End, it was extremely hard going just walking! Props to these guys (The aid station lady gave me a banana as I passed up the 1KM vert run just past Cape Cornwall). I watched the start of Sundays race while I was at Marazion, a great sight to behold. Though I did wonder if many of these people knew what they had let themselves in for :) I may sign up next year :D Well done to you.
Hi Mark love the channel definitely my sense of humour and the roast of triathlon Dan was a masterclass. Also great to have a channel for us big guys although I'm definitely in the below average class although do have two IM finishes to my name. I promise the last 5k of the run is the biggest ego boost you can get so enjoy Hamburg. Have you seen the white wolf swim in Cardiff! I'm doing it end of April. Basically swim against the rapids at the White water centre, challenge is to see how many of the 5 sections you can swim up through. Also doing the world's Steepest Run in Harlech which at my current weight of 112kg is also probably the world's stupidest idea.
Great video and channel. How you managed some of that course with a camera in your hand is beyond me. I ran on Sunday. Also couldn’t resist the spreadsheet - 4hrs 31 put me in top 2% (but it’s not about the results 👀).
Very much enjoy the eclectic nature of your channel. I was thinking about this video on Saturday when out on my bike I encountered runners on the St Cuthbert’s Way ultra from Trail Outlaws. Talked to a few people on the race and they said it was a Nice route running a long distance walking path with the added challenge of beating the tide to get across to Holy Island. Sounds like a challenge you like!
Hi Mark Recently found your channel and loving the content. I did this race aswell and your right about the crap on the rocks towards the end. Killer. You missed a awesome challenge in the lakes the following week, weather was so hot people were dropping like flies and they had to extend the cut off by a hour so people could finish. Shame Man vs Mountain got cancelled, have you rebooked for Sept 22? potential see you there 👍🏼 keep up the great videos, keeps me motivated and spending money (6month sproker has all his running kit ready for when he's older 😅)
hey mate loved your take on the race, I have just uploaded my video of the race, I wasn't as quick as you my time was 8 hours 23 around that time. amazing race and amazing views. and you missed a crazy one at man vs lakes that was a hot one think we lost a lot of people with the heat on that one..... and so so so gutted man vs mountain was canceled I got my trilogy medal in 2019 and now I am one segment short for 2021, you planning on doing any of the rat races in 2022? man vs lakes 2021 was there last one. well loved the video mate have now subscribed to you and will watching your videos from now on.
Hi Neil. It was an amazing race, I liked it a lot. Was also gutted that the mountain did not happen. 😕. Probably not going to do a rat race next year as I have ironman Hamburg to focus on but will definitely run others in the future 👍🏼
I dont do longer runs these days but must say they are comfy (some long distance trail runners swear by them, thats why I bought them in the first place).
Good question! They still happen but don’t get uploaded daily as the view count is too low which messes with things. So I am going to do 3 days at once unless something interesting happens!
@@MarkLewisfitness cheers for keeping me in the know. Ive been binge watching your channel today. You’ve just taken delivery of the cervelo. Originally found your channel due to looking for reviews on the wahoo bike.

Was just behind you. Loved every moment of the race on Saturday 🙌
I need a T shirt saying "this is for TH-cam" and then people near by can ask for a shout out 😂
This is the sort of ML content I miss!

Fantastic video, and what a cool race!! If I get back to England, I'll try to time it with this! You've got a wicked sense of humor, love your recaps!
Thanks for the video Mark, yours is the only channel that would make me even want to consider running something like this.

Main thing I took from this was that there was a donkey. I would waste about an hour saying hi to him

Mark : "The sun was out." Gopro footage: Mostly cloudy. That is the power of positive thinking in action. Super above averagely finish!!
Your videos are never a disappointment and this one is no exception.

Another sensational video - really nicely filmed and great narration 👌 Very impressive just to complete it 💪
Just come across your channel, absolutely love your content.
It’s getting me back into fitness for some reason, thanks mate.

Love your Channel. Very inspirational👍
Do you need to know your position?
“Yes you do”
🤣
Can’t work out if you’re above average otherwise 😀
That body board... lol!
Great video, totally decided for me that I would ever want to do this race. Sounds like a nightmare lol
Absolutely awesome well done
That race looked brutal!
Great video! This looks so fun

Great vid Mark. Looked like a tough race. Would love to hit one someday. Would be great to run with a couple buddies.
Mark, love the channel. Great content! Wondering what advice you would give to ultra newbie. Doing rat race the wall in June.
Well done Mark, that does not look fun, and you paid to do that. Loving the daily video updates.
Holy crap. That looks brutal.
Looks a great race
I've just signed up for The Wall, hope to see you there!
Wicked video mate!

@@MarkLewisfitness nice well good luck with that race mate
Great video, what trainers would you recommend for the man vS coast I'm doing it in July...
I use Altra but they are no good unless you are used to zero drop.
Have you tried Injinji toe socks? They keep your toes separated.
I dont do longer runs these days but must say they are comfy (some long distance trail runners swear by them, thats why I bought them in the first place).
Good video Cornish coast is tough is this race happening in 2023?
I'm doing it this year, would love to see a strava record of this
Planning this on 2024 any advice mate?
Hi mate I’ve just book to do this next year. I was just wondering what trail shoes did your wear as they must get soaked having to go in the sea?
Ultra lone peak. They get soggy 😂
Did you happen to see the lovely Demelza?
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice video, looks an awsome event! Great race yesterday! 🚴♂️ 🧨
Was tough, I used it as a pre heat to go into the sauna warm. Ended up staggering in their trying to stand 😂
The jumping in the sea bits look a bit of a faf. Not a fan of needing to queue in a race
What’s happened to the daily updates?
Good question! They still happen but don’t get uploaded daily as the view count is too low which messes with things. So I am going to do 3 days at once unless something interesting happens!
