    Not one I think we'll ever do but once again you tell a great story of the run, its context , your day and the people around you. We love the historical snippets you put in.

    Epic footage of this iconic race, Stephen. Excellent commitment for doing it 10 (no, 9!) times too. This has definitely inspired me to take it on one day, thanks! 🙏

      Oh go on Craig, add it to your list and make it another one that I can see you at! ;) (i've signed up for the 10km for next year already, I normally do the half marathon but thought i'd switch things up)

      I did this in 2013, and have entered a few times since but its never happened for one reason or another, I have to say Im very tempted having watched this to enter for 2024...but im going give York marathon a really good craic the week before so I best not be too greedy for 2024.
      All the best, HNY!

    Great run. I did the half the next day when the weather was much better! Sorta tempted by the full but that last bit over the Seven Sisters nearly finished me off in the half let alone the full distance!!

    • @FilmMyRun
      @FilmMyRun  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Oh yes we went back to watch a friend run the half. It was a totally different day. I think if you're tempted by the full, that means you should go for it!

    My wife told me she see you and she was the one in the purple coat just before the finish line, she was more happy seeing you than me😂😂 i did it in 4hr 55 which on that day ill take.

    @TimGrose 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Looks like was a "nice" day for it. I remember trying for the Strava CR up that first climb at the start and nearly passing out with lactic so yeah can see why best to take it easy up there. Shame we can't include it on Power of 10 and runbritainrankings I had a quick look and seems to be organised by the local council which is certainly unusual. Maybe they aren't aware of us? I had a check back and yeah seems never has been licensed as we haven't included anything since 2009 when licensing wasn't really a thing.

    • @FilmMyRun
      @FilmMyRun  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @FilmMyRun We've got a fair few parkruns that would definitely get your approval if you haven't already done them, Mallards Pike, Wyre Forest and Severn Valley Country Park are fun. Racewise they're all much of a muchness - but one local fun one I did last year was the Suckley Quarter marathon - just over 10k of 50/50 Road and trail. Horrific hills, but that's part of the attraction. I'm sure I'll see you one day soon at a start line!

    Im not sure I was complaining about it being half a mile short when I made it too exceat and youve got the killer last 10k left :) First beachy for me and slogged it out to take the victory. hopefully its sunny next year so conditions are good for fast times.

    • @olivervarney2032
      @olivervarney2032 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Istria 70k, transvulcania ultra, blue trail 70k and then probably a little down time before beachy head. Jump into the unknown for me with these distances but very excited. Not got a clue if I will be able to get around them in a good time but I'm hoping to at least survive 😂
