South West Runner
Великобритания
Добавлен 28 фев 2021
Middle-aged, slightly overweight, middle/back of the pack runner from the beautiful county of Devon in the South West of the UK. If you love your running/plodding then my videos might just be for you! Runs, races, kit and tech reviews, training advice (I have been doing this running lark for forty years!) and general musings. Oh and there may be the occasional stuff about gin and wine too. Happy viewing!
Centurion South Downs Way 50 Ultra - The ups and downs of chasing the cut-off.
My first Centurion race at the fantastic SDW50. Right on the edge of my running ability, can I complete the distance within the cut-off time?

I will be undertaking the Ultra Challenge Series first South West Coast to Coast Challenge in July 2021. It runs from Minehead on the North Devon coast to Dawlish on the South Devon coast over two days. This is the start of my video diary of some of my preparation for this challenge as I train for this 100km walk. This is my first "long" walk of 9 miles on the South West coastal path between Se...
Awesome Steve well done.
Thanks Simon! Hope all is good with you!

BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!! Amazing!!!
I. So looking forward to running this route next month, is it true that it’s impossible to get lost ? Hope so 😂😂😂
Well I think you’d have to try pretty hard to get lost. Good luck it is a stunning event!
@@southwestrunner7263 great news thank you
How long to walk 35 miles. Curious as im doing it in September.
Nice video as well. I am 55 years old and on my quest for six stars. I have completed Tokyo, NY.I will be running Berlin this year. How did you record the video?
Hi, thanks for the like! The video was shot on my GoPro 9 and then edited in Filmora. Good luck in Berlin and your quest for your six stars! Chicago next for me in 2025 fingers crossed!
@@steverichardson1918 I will be running both London and Chicago in 2025. Hope we can meet...
Great video! The Tailwind was both a curse and a benefit. But it did help me get a 1 hour PB on the day.
It sure was a hot one
This event was my first 50 miler, and as much as I swore I'd never do it again I'm now seriously considering doing it again in 2025 😂 OMG I've just seen myself at the start of the video (big beard) 😂
Superb effort fella. You ultra-ists are totally bonkers, but much respect. Almost makes me want to have a go. Almost 😂
Great vid bud. And fantastic running with you for a while.
Thanks Rob, you too fella. See you on the trails!
This is one of the races you were talking about the other day. Looks fab mate
Hi Rob, yes it’s well worth a look! Normally beginning of July.
fantastic well done.
Thanks William!
Grüße aus Bayern. Super. Vielen Dank. Gratulieren.👏👏👏💪🥳
What time
Phantastic! You did it!!!!!!
Awesome video, and a great day. So pleased to have shared the road with you on the day.
Thanks Ian, you too fella! Happy Christmas to you and yours!
What a great experience for you mate, fantastic vid. Hope you and your family have an amazing Christmas 👍
Thanks Gary, same to you and yours fella!🎉
Congratulations..... did it in 2022.... lovely but brutal 😊
Stunning views. I would love to do this event.
Well done for completing and providing a great little video. Can you tell me what your soundtrack is? I love it!
Thanks for the comment! The two tracks are "You got me waiting" and "Wide Awake" both by Fox Drop. They're available from Epidemic Sound. Cheers!
@@steverichardson1918 Wonderful, thank you!
That was great insight to the lap. I’m signed up to it for next year, however I’m doing it alone (other than the others taking part of course)
Fantastic effort. Well done. Best wishes on the next. First time watching.
Thanks, you too!
Great running. I only finished just a couple of mins before you. Had really bad cramps between 10 and 20 miles, but I put that down to travelling down from Manchester the day before! Are you up for the 100k next year? Thinking of giving it a go.
Wow Steve! That's insane!!! Well done doesn't really cut it, but very very well done! How brave, courageous and fit you are ❤❤❤ Lizzie xx
Thanks Lizzie! Think I may have caught the Ultra bug - I’m doing another one on Saturday! X
Enjoyed the video pal! Have subscribed in support. We know how hard it is to make good content, we have a YT channel of our own we're trying to get off the ground! Keep up the good work.
Thanks guys, appreciate the comment! I’ve just popped over to your channel and followed you back! Cheers and good luck!
Congratulations cracking event isn’t it? I ran this one as well, what did you think of that last mile or so on the road before getting onto the lakeside? Oh my legs did not like that decline 😂
Thanks for commenting, yes that last mile on the road seemed to go on forever! Nearly missed the turn off on the right, was heading back to the car park, luckily an earlier finisher was walking back and directed me and Gary the right way!
Huge congrats! Well done. I did my first Lap last year (2022) and loved it. Similar weather to this year. It's a brilliant event and one I'm sure I'll return to. Your smile at the end says it all. 👍
Thanks Francois, watching your video was one of the reasons I did the race in the first place! Off to the Serpent Trail 50K in a couple of weeks, will try and get some footage from that as well. Cheers.
Great video, im doing the Lap in september. What camera did you use? the picture quality is epic.
Thanks John, I used a GoPro Hero 9 and shot the original footage in 4k at 60fps. The actual film was edited in Filmora 12 at 1920 x 1080 resolution and 25fps output. Good luck in September, you'll love it although everyone says that anti-clockwise is harder! Look forward to seeing your video! Cheers.
@@southwestrunner7263 thank you for the feedback :)
We have a static caravan at Finsthwaite and saw all the runners coming through the field throughout the evening. Hoping to do this myself next year
Good luck Craig, you'll love it!
Great vlog, the start seems to have got way busier than when we did it last year!
Thanks guys, loved your video too, it was very inspirational for me before my run!
@@southwestrunner7263 Thankyou, good luck in your future runs. We’ve subscribed 👍
Far out! Very well done sir, very impressed indeed!
Great vid spotted my missus half way round 😎
Well done, I’ve just entered for 2023 👍
Keep doing what your doing mate 👌🏻👌🏻 great to watch xx if u do any locals let me know x be great 😍😍
Oh and it’s Matt clarke commenting 😂😂
Yes me too👌🏻👌🏻 great to meet u yesterday 👍
I look forward to seeing the Exeter half marathon clips x legend x
Congrats I’m doing the Thames Path 100k in a few weeks… 🙂
Well done, Steve, always good for others to see terrain - and the rest stop food! I’m not sure I could get up and do another half challenge the following day!
I had to pull out at the 70k mark - ill-fitting rucksack = back pack pain - so thanks for this, Steve. It was a much better day, wasn't it? Not quite so...exhilarating, though. I enjoyed the whole experience - so much so I'm about to sign up for the Chiltern 50 next month. I've got unfinished business with the SWC2C - hope to complete it next yeaR. Although I've heard whispers that they aren't going to repeat it - access problems or some such. Have you heard anything?
Heard a similar whisper but that they were going to change the route for next year. I guess we’ll have to wait and see!
Brilliant, well done Steve :)
Good job matey - looking forward to part 2!
Hi Steve - very interesting. However, I feel you should repeat this climb in a howling gale, with the rain lashing down and thunderstorms threatening - as it was on the day. I've described the conditions as absolutely brutal - but, as I said to my son at the time, there is just nowhere else I'd rather be! The whole weekend was a blast, and I can't wait to go back next year and finish the whole 102k, since I bailed out at the 70k mark this year. And thanks for the views - we saw nothing of them a fortnight ago, did we? :)
Hi Paul, thanks for the comment! I'm just about to upload the footage I took on the day, as you said - brutal! Well done getting to 70Km, the second half was a real killer wasn't it! Cheers, Steve
@@southwestrunner7263 It wasn't the terrain that forced me to pull out, I had an ill-fitting rucksack, which was pulling me over - in the end I was walking like a crab! My son carried it for me for long stretches, and I just thought I was holding him back - best I quit. I look forward to seeing your new video!
Great views and loved the foxgloves in the woods. Great work fella - and that’s just a smidgeon of the walk. Crikey.
Another great video matey - I was knackered just watching it - great work fella
Keep it up mate,looks like you're getting the hang of it but don't forget the water next time xxx
Lovely meander (at pace of course) - searching for the link - looking forward to seeing the next instalment
Nice to see an unpretentious and honest video... best of luck on your 100km walk.
Many thanks for the comment, just starting out on this RUclips journey so much appreciated! Hope you like the other ones when they come. Cheers.
Love the walk - made a great break from work as I wandered the route with you - thank you matey man
Glad you enjoyed it, next video will be up later this week, a different part of the EDW this time!
Great job Steve!! Miss you guys so much xx
