great review! mind sharing, how did you clean it up afterwards?

Thanks for sharing your experience of the S.D.W

Thanks. That has made it a whole lot easier to plan and discover a route

Marvellous intro, thanks very much 😊

Wish it was longer. Do you wish it was longer?

THANK YOU

Ended up getting a flipbelt thanks to your vid, thanks! Like you, I set it up so my phone is in front, with the water bottle in the back. My trick for getting the bottle out and back in is to rotate the belt so that the water bottle is in front, put it back in, then rotate it back.

Hi, could you tell me what the music is on your South Downs trip?😊 I'm not normally into modern music, but I really like your background music! It sounds kind of ethereal.

This is What You tube was made , What a Brilliant Upload Thank you xx

I discovered in the Lakeland 100k, half way, ready to give up, that a couple of Paracetamol and Ibuprofen cured my aches and pains, and I was off running again. Before you say it, I know Ibuprofen is apparently a no no. And I don’t like to use drugs if I can avoid it. But running on stiff muscles is a sure way to strains, so if needs must…

It is fluid intake that is key, so if you take in a lot of fruit and veg, and, say, green tea, you might not need to supplement with water. (Unfortunately beer doesn’t count) I have a couple of mugs of tea at breakfast, one coffee, one tea mid morning, lunch, mid afternoon, camomile in evening. So about 1.5l.

For those of us of us not that old, ie went to school post 1975.. 140lb is 63.5kg 70floz is approx 2l.

Great info, nicely presented. Cushioned shoes. I would try training on barefoot shoes, but only for very short runs. And if you can, completely barefoot, preferably on a hard surface. This toughens up your feet. Then longer runs / races, use the cushioned shoe. If your route is technical, beware of a high stack height instability. Use a dead skin remover regularly, though not just before a race. Wet dead skin is a certain route to blisters. Change socks in a long race frequently, before you feel the need. (Just completed the Lakeland 100k…yup blisters on balls of feet. Male, 68)

Yes, good advice, I am only 77 still quite fit, always up at 04:30 go for a short 2,25k run every Morning before 05:00 no matter what the weather is, this sets me up for the Day. One thing you didn't mention was the importance of good stretching Exercises before going out for a run, this keeps you supple and protects against injury.

UltraTrailrunner told me to buy a pair of Injinji toe socks for runners. Individual toes and comfy on soles of feet mean no blisters.

Great tips. Electrolytes are also very important.❤😊❤

Loved your video. How bad were the flint paths?

Question. How do you keep water on board? I drink water and it goes right through. This of course makes it unpleasant to consume water on runs.

Would you be able to link some of the places you stayed? Thank you Karen!

Some really good common sense advice here. My advice is to be patient with yourself, play the long game, don't go looking for personal beats. You're trying to establish a healthy habit and health is paramount. During marathon training, I had to cut my runs down too over run a week and do some cross training, because recovery was getting harder and harder. Try to get off of the tarmac and run on something that's more joint friendly. Look after your mobility, get onto the habit of doing some mobility exercises. Above all, recognise your doing something really beneficial for yourself, just watch out for feedback signs from your body that may indicate you need to tweak your running a little

I have never flipped the belt EVER 😂

Great review, Kaz. I just ordered it, Sized up I size.

Good tips!

Super video, inspiring. Good for you 👍

Lovely video

worldmaps on offer atm for £20 .. gonna get it

As an older runner I"m a big fan of running by feel, rather than a rigid plan. Related to that, I would suggest avoid looking at your watch while running, it's much more enjoyable that way.

35:21 I love this scene!😂 I'm glad you found your phone in a short time looking! 😅

Well done to you! Something I've always dreamed of doing. Thanks for sharing! Your video's very encouraging for beginners like me.

That 2L bottle is huge 😂. I usually count 1L over the meals (coffee,soup,beer, fruits,etc.), then add 0.5L in AM and PM.

Great advice. One other thing I could think of is a bit of strength training in between runs to increase the body mass. I usually aim to do 30 times push ups after the run. Also I would do rowing to stretch my back, stomach and arm muscles. I am reaching 70 in two months.

All very helpful tips. At 62, my only tip is do whatever it takes to get through the workout.

As a retired Physiotherpist who is cynical and grumpy . my tip for older runners is.....try walking instead its easier on the joints.

This video is brilliant - as a retired 64 year old international powerlifter I have recently returned to running, and I have felt the foot protection advice and the following a set training plan advice something that resonated with me already and with what I was already feeling. A youngster making a video about over 60s running don't understand these nuances.

I have had a running doctor tell me to drink when I feel thirsty and that is absolute ignorant stupidity. We runners need to know what our bodies use, and to do that weigh ourselves before a run and after. So if you go out for an hour on a hot day and your weight difference is 1kg you have consumed a litre of water. If it is a cold day you will need way less but you can test that as well. A 1% drop in body weight is a 10% drop in performance.

1) Shoes & socks 2). Check heart rate 3). No need to stick to a schedule 4). Hydration 5). Massage / wind down after

Thank you Karen for this very good advice. God bless you richly.

Top notch video! And a lovely garden space you have!!! Where about d’u live?

I am 76 and took up running about 5 years ago. I use an online training resource for single leg balance exercises. They mimic running movements so are designed to strengthen leg muscles in a variety of ways. I would add as a tip do not neglect strength and balance exercises particularly as one ages. Also as more “rest” days off from running are necessary these can be walking or swimming (if have access to a pool) or stationary cycling/elliptical. Thanks Karen. Great clip of tips for oldies!

Thank you SO much for this. Really clear both in content and how you speak. I can now use the app - like straight away after watching this. I use it entirely on my phone, so a couple of things were a bit different but it was obvious what and how. I’ve now planned a few walks, one of which I think I might do today. Thanks. 🎉 😊

Brilliant tips.

Thanks caring. Were can i find head banner lights

Nice intro , thanks

Thanks for the review,helped me make my mind up which one's best for me 😃👍

My advice to us older runners? Never grow up, and for God's Sake - stop calling yourself old

Beautiful beach for a swim. Was it a campsite that you stayed on? Is there a day 4 of this hike? Thanks for posting.

One year later I watch part 2. Nice one great video.

As some one who suffers with Achilles problems ASICS, particularly gel nimbus are the only shoes I can run in

They just make great shoes ❤

OMG Karen so happy to see a video from yourself! I feel like it's been a while! Currently I have the Nimbus 25, although I only have about 60 miles on the shoe because of the rainy windy weather here in Upstate South Carolina, USA. My first run with the Nimbus 25 I thought I would just do 6-8 miles but I ended up doing a half marathon at steady speed. I find the shoe is absolutely great! However I did like how you emphasized the grip on the soles that have changed on the Nimbus 26. I agree the Nimbus 25 lacks the grip needed for longer runs and increasing speed. I find this addition on the Nimbus 26 will make a lot of happy people, much happier. SO great to see you!!! Please keep those videos coming :)
