You made that look easy. Good work! 🎉
Thank you Bill 👍🏼
This was my first ever race event. Did the half marathon in 1hr 47mins, was a hot day! Great atmosphere. Thanks for posting this. Subscribed👍
Welcome and thanks for subscribing 🏆indeed it was getting warm later on ms well done on a great race! What next for you?
Awesome 🤩 great video, captures the amazing support & atmosphere of a brilliant mornings run. Great to see you there 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Alison and well done on your shiny new PB! 🏆
Cheers Donato. Brilliant video. Congratulations on an impeccably timed run. Looked a fantastic event with great atmosphere.
Nice to see fellow pacer, Raj. Had a fair bit of correspondence and seen him at a few events over the years. He's a great runner and top bloke.
Thanks again for an entertaining video. I know there's a bit of pressure with pacing but it looks a very rewarding thing to do.
Ps. Such a sad story (3:05). I hope the 3 superheroes raised lots of cash for Heartlands Hospital.
Thank you Colin! Indeed it is a lot of pressure to run bang on pace, but it is very rewarding! The super heroes were EPIC 🏆
Thanks Donato, great vlog.
Glad you enjoyed this, thank you for watching and commenting!
I did the HM this year.What a great atmosphere!
Great to hear and thank you for sharing. What next for you?
Great insight into the city as you were running by, excellent pacing, that start looked so congested haha
Thank you Ric! Indeed it was a busy start but quickly spread out 👍🏼
Great pacing buddy, very motivating and fun! was lovely talking to you mid run :D got 44:28 in the end (from will in the white vest)
Very well done Will and great running with you! What next for you?
@@PoetWithPace for the time being im going to be working my parkrun PB from 21mins to hopefully sub 20! Also going to sign up for Birmingham half marathon 2024
@@williamdann1642 awesome! Hope you continue to enjoy the videos here
Well done Donato
Thank you John 👍🏼
Very upbeat, really enjoyed the video and so nice of you to pace Donato!
Glad you enjoyed this Jay. Hope you are well?
@Chatty Adventures All good thanks. Placed first in Age Group in the 5K. Now beginning training for a BQ in the Columbus Ohio marathon. Need to cut 8 minutes 😬
@@jaycoane6127 awesome Jay! You can do it!
@@PoetWithPace 👍
Wow, must run that myself. Used to work in the city centre for a few years until 2002 - it's changed so much for the better. Well done.
Go for it Jimmy as they are doing early bird entries! Much better course this time 👍🏼
@@PoetWithPace appeared to be a well supported event too and yes, the lady in charge of our household has just granted me with formal permission to attend - they'll be some sort of payback though 😂
Good to hear you have been given approval and see you there next year! 👍🏼
Brilliant. A 45 min 10K is impressive enough, let alone pacing that time!
Thank you Lawrence! Apparently i came 3rd in my AG with that time also.
Alistair Walker and Nigel Rackham in UK...they runnin hot lately. 🔥 gee...please Lord let my friend bump into them... 🙏🤲
Oh yes Bill!
Pacing looked like fun mate il have to give it a go sometime. 300m between friends is nothing ❤
Indeed it was great fun! GPS is so unreliable, don’t you think?
@Chatty Adventures love how people say the course is long. You can guarantee most road eaces are measured correctly. (Apart from Brighton 🤣) It's the fact they zigzagging through people not I the race line or poor GPS that causes the race to be long
Or Manchester a few years back that was short by a few hundred metres. Most of time is GPS, as I hardly see anyone zig zag even at London. Maybe some have slight weaving but bot enough to add to the GPS
Another great vid of a great run. Characters like your self add to events like this. Was a great day out.. ok what's the next one?
Thank you Geoff! Was great to see you and glad you had a fab race! My next one is Bristol Great Run 👍🏼
Am busy so can't do Bristol. Will find another one. My Garmin said 42:53!!! Get in!
Oh yes! 🏆
My watch was out too 10.25 but started around 30 secs late. Fab pacing well done, good luck for Bristol and Manchester racing your choosen distances!
Thank you Sharlotte! How did you find the race?
@@PoetWithPace Wonderful and epic crowd! Was a tad out on my pacing as worked out my 5k splits wrong should of just gone with my 1 mile splits instead. I'm new to using the go pro too so that took my concentration. Will be better next week at Bristol.
@@TheUnicornPacer excellent! See you in Bristol!
@@PoetWithPace hopfully, a d gd luck 2moro m8!
@@TheUnicornPacer thank you! You may of seen the results now from Sundays race?
Great work as ever! I paced the Manchester 10k last year and doing so again next weekend, was the playlist the same as last year on the pacers speaker (it sounds similar!) or have they made improvements 😂
Thank you Phill. There was similar tunes to when i paced the HM last year, but some new ones also. I think Kierans was very different to mine, so i guess its a pot luck playlist! lol....are you at Manchester again next week?
@@PoetWithPace Might be pot luck based on a shuffle! A few shockers on their but its all fun 😀 Yup will be at Manchester again on Sunday. Are you running or volunteering?
@@phillramsay3037 i will be running the half marathon. And you?
@@PoetWithPace Yup, pacing towards the back of the 10k group so quite a late start for us. Saw you had posted this in your last video. All the best for the half!
@@phillramsay3037 thank you!
I'm doing it this year. It's the same course by the looks. I'm looking at about 45 mins so if you're around I'll try to keep with you.
Excellent! I think it is the same route, but not 100% sure. Would be fab to run with you. May be looking at mildly quicker to be pacing a friend, depending how my recovery is from Manchester Marathon last Sunday. What has been your recent 10k times?
I ran 41:15 on the track in 2019 but am nowhere near to that kind of form right now due to various injuries I've sustained over the past few years and weight gain. I did, however, manage a sub 24 in parkrun last weekend though on a long (by about 50 metres) course, and am hopeful of going sub 23 tomorrow which would be a positive indicator. I also ran 51:13 solo on a very tough, measured 10K course in midweek, and that was what prompted me to enter the Great Birmingham 10K. I paid close attention to your video and referenced it to a map of the 2024 race and it seems to be unchanged from 2023. I've not run in the event for about 6 years.
@@daddykornflakes your fitness is clearly coming back and will be great to see how you get on 👍🏼
@@PoetWithPace I filled in the time 44 to 47 mins on the Entry form.
@@PoetWithPace You say your GPS made it 10.32 kiloms. Do you reckon the course was 320 metres long or your GPS was at fault?
