Thanks Richard. Glad you liked the Latvian video...greetings from the Arctic Circle

Thanks Panos. I am glad you enjoyed the running races...another Preview goes live in a few hours. Hope the New Year brings great joy to you and yours.

More silly stuff on the way...! Greetings from the Arctic Circle...Have a cracking 2025!

Cheers! Happy 2025!

Great to hear my trip to Birmingham wasn't wasted! I picked up the ArcX ring and some Kendal Mint gels so it wasn't all bad. Thanks for the kind comments. Best wishes for 2025!

Thanks Thomas! Next adventure started this morning. Greetings from Norway. Hope you have a very Happy 2025!

Cheers! Hope you have a great 2025!

Hoping to do London and it looks likely, but unconfirmed, as of yet. Will likely get another watch but it may be a Garmin as I have a lot of data in their system, and wondering what the next FR975? will have down my sleeve, having said that I loved the Coros Pace 2...and you never know...as for the Adios Pro 4, I don't know. I may go looking for a shoe for Tokyo...all to play for I guess...best wishes for 2025!

Chris, you will be sorely missed this weekend! Great seeing you in 2024, looking forward to 2025! I think I can hear a Dame Vera Lynn song coming on...

@OldManRunner yep, I just hope it's a "sunny dsy" 😉

Would you believe the forecast is for a sunny day? With a high of -7C and a low of -11C...

Yours for just €12.39 on Amazon! Happy New Year!

@ Happy New Year to you hoping the channel goes from strength to strength 👍

Loads more chilling content coming soon...I am off to the Arctic Circle. Yikes! Have a great 2025, hope to see you again sometime during it...

Cheers Alan. Have a great 2025! See you after Norway...

Cheers Michael! Have a great 2025...next video goes live Friday midnight Irish time.

@OldManRunner Looking forward to it.

Thanks for commenting with the updates. I will pin the comment, so more people can see it. Best wishes for 2025!

Likewise Richard! Have a great 2025.

@@خلونيافكربإسم I have started to see them on discount on some online stores. That will happen more and more now that they have been out awhile. And the Zoom Fly 6 runs them close on performance are much cheaper and will soon get discounted further. Best wishes for 2025.

@ Also 6 I don't even have a half price

Great to get the feedback from someone else who has run in both! Best wishes for 2025

@@TrailrunnerTroy Merry Christmas Troy! I could say May the roads rise up to meet you, but I guess they do! Still, May the winds be always at your back! Have a great 2025!

Right so, will get him back at some stage, won't be hard! Loads more videos in the planning and next race is in just over a week...yikes! Hope you have Happy Holidays and a great 2025!

@@TolunayOrkun Same to you Tolunay! 2025 running calendar starts in a few days time.

Likewise Gary. Look forward to seeing you in Tokyo!

Likewise Steven! More races and videos coming up fast!

Likewise Chris. I will be thinking of you on Saturday week. Staying in a different Hotel this time. Kind of afraid I might start knocking on someone’s door every morning…

Thanks Leopoldo! Same to and yours. Best wishes for 2025

Same to you Panos! I’m in the middle of more video making…should be a few out in the next two weeks. Hope you and your family have a great festive season and 2025!

Rajkumar. It’s is great to hear from you! Sorry to hear about your injury. Have a great 2025!

Thanks all the wonderful support in 2025 Bartek! Means a huge amount to me.

Likewise Bev! Best wishes for the race preparations!

I like both of the shoes. At the same price I would but the X-SPE. But if the X2 was significantly cheaper I would go with those.

Seasons Greetings Tolunay! This video was challenging to make. I tried using some new Adobe AI software to help eliminate some background noise, and make the in car segments sound better. It ended up slowing down Premiere Pro and in all the log jamming I forgot to include the Strava route that I made after the race, but popped into the description: www.strava.com/routes/3303338817918277830 Strava measures it at 9.8km, and I think my Garmin is pretty accurate. A few years ago I did a test with a measuring wheel. And I have run several marathons. The distance on my Stryd is always short. I have tried re-calibration with mixed results. I might try another calibration on the track as it is a known distance. I have been testing all sorts of things lately. In this video amongst others I was testing how long I could handhold the camera and extended battery handle. 10k with no problem is the answer! And testing the microphone. One other thing I have been testing is using the Garmin over my sleeves, connected to my heart rate monitor. It works. This time I also tested my Apple Watch over my sleeves. This does not work. The watch reverts to requiring a passcode after a short time. My Stryd is connected to my watch so it lost data. Lesson learned! But this was a great confidence building race. Jack was just using it as a bit of fun. He will be in better shape for the next one...not sure when that will be. Possibly late January...depending on what happens in the next race in early January. Have a great 2025!

@@OldManRunner If you have auto-calibration turned on FP-XXXXX device turn that off. With that off and calibration factor of 100, STRYD was spot on. That said, your course appears to be short.

Cheers Chris! Jack is grand. He’ll be plotting some revenge in the next one and will be serving me up some humble pie in 2025

Yes. The stack height means that I would be careful on any sharp turns, but must marathons don't have sharp turns. They should be fine. One side note is that the 42mm stack height means that they are not permissible for World Athletics Series Events but are allowable where the level of competition may not be relevant for international statistical purposes and where, therefore, Rules and Regulations may deviate from those in force at World Athletics. It really only applies to people chasing records and world class performances. Best wishes for your marathon.

@ thank you for the detailed response! Much appreciated

Glad it was helpful. There are lots of different ways into Boston. Not all involve qualifying. I made a video about the ways into Boston without qualifying: ruclips.net/video/V1L_9B04oyQ/видео.html I think that the short answer to both questions is yes. There are 150 Abbott World Marathon Majors places as far as I know, so it is helpful, but not guaranteed that you will get selected. In the video I go through all of the ways I could find out that you can get in without qualifying As it happens I qualified and also made a preview and review video of this years race, which may be of interest: ruclips.net/video/DTyy-ho5sqw/видео.html ruclips.net/video/guEWWcNGoTk/видео.html Very best wishes for getting a place!

@ thank you and good luck to you!

Glad you enjoyed it Bartek. Funnily enough despite all the technical issues, and a copyright infringement issue, I really enjoyed making it. Hoping to do more with the Jack lad in 2025...and have a lot of races planned, all of which I will try and film in one way or another...

Cheers. Really beautiful course. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

@@OldManRunner That was my first ever run outside that of Park runs. It was brilliant. I’ve now signed up for the remaining runs in the series. Maybe see you on those!!

I will do all six at some stage, but not sure exactly when. If you see me say hello!

@@jasonsrunning I’m not surprised there were lots of people. Such a well organised event. Hoping to do all six at some stage! Seasons greetings.

@@OldManRunner Yes, if you want a look at the others I have done the series of 6 twice, videos of them on playlists on my channel - well worth doing, some lovely forests to run in - have a great Christmas!

Jason. Thanks for he heads up on the Channel. You've opened up a whole new world of races for me to try! See you down the road.

Well we are definitely going do do more of these races next year...It was great fun, more to come...

Cheers Richard. really beautiful, next time i would start a little further forward...

I was amused that in some races down South the distances are shown in Miles...somewhat relieved to find they are in Km for these races. My GPS at the end said 9.81km Jack's said 9.82km. Strava 9.79km www.strava.com/routes/3303338817918277830 I did the Strava Route after the race....meant to include it in the video...

You never did tell us your time either! 😁

49:15 www.strava.com/activities/13112992069 I had huge technical problems making the video...and ended up leaving out some essential stuff...

The picture in the attic is my plan...The heart rate took a sudden climb at one point, but then so did the course! I was hoping to get a tow from the Jack Rabbit during my late race doldrums, but no luck! My final time for the race was 49:15. So under the 50 minutes, but then the course is just shy of 10k. But I was really happy to sprint at the end. The viodeo took ages to make. Race videos always do. And I had all sorts of computer issues. And I meant to include some Strava details: www.strava.com/activities/13112992069

@@OldManRunner 49.15 is awesome for that course! Fantastic job not-so-OldmanRunner. :)

Cheers Tolunay. The course really suited me and as you said, it was good to get off to a slow start. Loved the hills and the atmosphere.

@@TolunayOrkun MERRY CHRISTMAS Tolunay!!! Hope you’re doing well!!! Any races looming?? Barry’s next marathon the 4th and mine the 5th January!! 🤪😵‍💫😬

@@bev9708 Merry Christmas, Bev! I just did California International Marathon on December 8th (my 5th marathon). I don't have the next one determined yet. I just have HM at Houston Marathon on Jan 19th. I will be rooting for you both.

Funnily enough they were fine. Most of the trail was dry and level, and strangely I didn't pick up any gravel in the slots

When the heads up running glasses come, I will likely be first in line...

My slender 1-0 lead won't last for long methinks...
