Hi Thank you for sharing videos, I think this race maybe the Great North Run not in the south of England but the north east, The biggest half marathon in the UK. Great performance by Gemma, I hope she give the food voucher away to the African s! Cheers Mark!
One can forgive lack of geographical knowledge but he actually, and correctly, called it as "The Great North Run". You would think this might have caused him to question if it was actually held in the South ...
I agree, that is one sick down hill. I always hated down hills in cross country and in road races, I always did better running the up hills. Mary ran a excellent race and Gema ran a very good race herself. The third place runner wasn't too shabby either running around 5:15 per mile for the half marathon. The average male runner in good form can't run 5:15 mile pace for 13 miles straight. Hats off to all the women runners! Thanks for covering another wonderful woman's race the Runner !
Gema looks pretty strong as well - not overly thin - that was power that could throttle up and down a bit - very similar to Katy Hodgkinson with those very nice upper thighs she has - they are thin until she gets running and then that muscle pumps up
Newcastle to South Shields isn't on the south coast of England, in fact it's one of the furthest parts of England you can be in from the south coast, get your head round that.
That steep decent hurt my old back just watching - it brought back memories of having almost decelerate so you don't loose control - again a muscular body type could go either way - in theory that down hill can become a super charger or the opposite and injury time
In my youth I used to run the 5km running distance of a triathlon sprint under 16 minutes - My best time on a a half Marathon 1H21. On long distance I've never been a good runner
Thank you for the video, very interesting story, indeed. A couple of things I thought as I watched; you didn't need to identify the British runner as "the one in the blonde pony tail" when it was her and the two African runners; the title is not quite right, as she didn't defeat all of the Kenyan runners.
it maybe she's representing the uk,how many times was Andy Murray referred to as British?Geriant Thomas was British when he won the tour de france,but he soon changed that by wearing the welsh flag on his shoulders,Chris frome was British,rubbish, born in Zimbabwe, Martin Johnson England Rugby captain,rubbish,born in New Zealand, Tony Lewis,England cricket captain ,rubbish,born in Wales,notice a certain trend.
My one criticism is how you list or headline your video's - whatever suspense you have - you lose by telling the outcome - it makes zero sense - I've seen fantastic Tennis Matches or Games ruined by simply 'listing the winner' - then why watch it ? otherwise this coverage is great
@@alb.1911 Well it would be BETTER click bait if I did not know the outcome - he does a fantastic job of providing suspense during the video - it's just I already know the outcome
I enter a lot of local races that Gemma takes part in and invariably wins. She is still really quick and I am always in awe 😮
1 hr to 1h5mins???? Not I'm this era 66 was the top end steel was 67 68 mins
Come on man get the facts correct
Down hill mile 11?
You lied in the caption. She didn't defeat the African runners. She LOST to one of them. You lied for clicks. Shame.
There's always one
and it was over 10 years ago. For a person who follows athletics quite a bit this is must be at the pinnacle of youtube journalism!
"She Defeated Them."....oh no she didn't (clickbait)
Thanks for your information
The Great North Run cannot be on the south coast of England !! Duhhh
Amazing good video

Gemma Steele has a Wikipedia page. Between 2011 and 2015 she was an excellent cross country runner for the British team.
Thank you for passing that on. Will look here up. Amazing athlete.
She was a lot more than just an excellent cross country runner between 2011 and 2015.
That was an impressive race! Steele was simply outclassed.
By one runner. She defeated all of the others.
At 75, if I fell out of an airplane I would fall at 9 min pace
Great jogging.

Yes, she might make a half decent runner one day.
Truly enjoy these unheard/unseen races here in the states.
Yep, only happened last week.
Just did a search on J Steel. She still competes in county Masters races and has been recently (2023/2024) running Parkruns in the 16 minute range.
Amazing, anyone who follows UK distance running knows this.
Newcastle to South Shields isn't on the south coast of England, in fact it's one of the furthest parts of England you can be in from the south coast, get your head round that.
yo that hill with one mile seems like the perfect thing to get me in a fast finish

This is the Great North Run in Newcastle not the South Coast of England!!

Correct.
Esto es:EL ATLETA ⭐ SÓLO CONTRA TODO: POR ESO TODOS DEL PRIMERO AL ÚLTIMO 💙SON PURO❤❤❤
Lied in the caption - dislike that kind of clickbait. I just stopped my subscription for this reason.
Great runner 10 yrs ago Gemma still going strong at Club level now.shame she didn't really jump on the track to race
She again trained in Kenya
4:21, but I can.t do anything like that now.
Correction: She defeated all but one of them.
Funny how british go fast without style🤔

Why is she team GB and not English? You say Scottish for Scottish runners, doesn't make sense

NOT TRUE LAURA MUIR! ELISH MC COLGAN!
Again with GIRLS. It is just effing ignorant.
How can The Great NORTH Run be on the South coast?
Elle a fait 2 ème. Titre de la vidéo injustifié !!
This video is just clickbait. Colonialism mentality
Me, 8.30/ mile

It’s called clickbait and unfortunately it’s the only way to gain money on TH-cam.
