Cheers Craig, it’s the narrowest parkrun I’ve been to and a fair few use old railway tracks. I was taking it easy on the heel as it was in bad shape after the mtb race debacle😩

I’ve had a tough time of it recently and meeting you two gave me a big lift so thanks for that. I think the Parkrun website should mention bacon butty availability aswell as parking and directions😃

@@AndyCliffMTBhaha yeah we must of just timed it badly as we could of waited 20 minutes but then you're not sure where you're be in the queue 😂 it's great both ticking off "I"

@@DJHAYES04 It’s a lovely course but you have to be careful especially over the field or after heavy rain, I doubt I’d be under 28 even if my heel was A1. Thanks for watching😊

@@SwimBikeRunStu I wondered why I couldn’t see anything in the rear view mirror😂 I’m a creature of habit, a pre- Parkrun boot peek has become part of my winning formula😀

@@frosty150 Appreciate you watching, emojis are a great way to convey how you feel, they sum up everything about that run😊

@@raleyadventures Thanks Both, I enjoyed Marple, I wish I’d had time to have a coffee in Marple Bridge, it’s a lovely village. The channel is growing, ever so slowly😂

@@lindalou8308 That’s very kind of you Linda, thank you😊

@@alldone1116 I’m determined to fix this and hopefully the class 4 laser will work and I’m doing foam rolling of calves and stretching 4 x per day, seems better but running mileage reduced from 20 to 5K/ week🙁

@@RunFreeandStrong Hi Reto, hopefully the Class 4 laser will finally resolve it🙏Last night was treatment number 3. Also complementing this with foam rolling/stretches 4 x per day🤔

@@TheRunningWhale Thanks Craig, it’s a really nice place, I’m from Stockport originally so this is my neck of the woods😊I am really nervous on uneven grassy sections as I’ve seen people come a cropper (Cheadle Hulme in 2023 for example). My friends have been encouraging me to do a trail run so I’m getting my feet wet with the Trafford Trails 5 miler on 15-July😊I think my heel may be improving, had 3rd session last night🙏And Bargain Hunt, that’s an absolute classic😀

Thanks, it means a lot to know you enjoyed the video😊The funny thing about my PF is that I never experienced it when I was training for the Manchester Half last summer/autumn, only when I returned after a one month layoff for Covid in October. Did you have to have orthotics in your shoes or stability type running shoes?

@@AndyCliffMTB tried and spent a fortune on different types or orthotics never worked for me. I switched to Asics Gt2000 and wear them when not running work, leisure used to run in the model but switched to Kayanos. If you've never had gait analysed get it done. Over time with running arches can fall resulting it PF and need to wear Stability shoes

@@alldone1116 I’m not sure if you’ve said your name before if so my apologies, I like to address people by name if possible😊 There’s a long story on my gait etc. Way back in 2016 I was a dedicated mtb and swimmer and tried parkrun in squash shoes. Damaged my plantar in a 100m end sprint and then took time out but when I ran again I had a gait analysis at Decathlon who said I over pronated so prescribed ASICS Kayano Gel and within 2-3 runs I was in agony with PF. Went back, re-tested and they said I was a neutral gait😩Webt to proper running shop, tried 8-9 brands and went with Mizuno Ultima and 4 more pairs of Wave Rider/Ultima since and no issues - until Nov-23🤷‍♂️

Thanks Craig, yes it was great to meet Ollie, I’m not used to people coming up to say hi but it’s very nice when they do. I didn’t envy them racing in that heat tbh😊I haven’t heard of that one, is that a 10K? It’s a possibility, thanks for the offer😀

@AndyCliffMTB yeah a chap stopped to say hi to mandy a few weeks back, she was well made up lol. Yes it's a 10k and starts about 9pm so you get to enjoy running down the illuminations. Done it the last few years, I really enjoy that one, be a good one to do 🏆👍

@@TheRunningWhale Hi Craig, that sounds pretty cool actually, does it get booked up early, I’m not sure I can commit at the moment with my wife’s mum being so unwell. What’s the event called btw?😊

@AndyCliffMTB it's called run the lights. It's always a busy one but pretty sure you can register even on the night. Completelt understand, be cool if you do. I'll pop a link on one of my upcoming race videos.

@@TheRunningWhale Hi Craig, I checked out the website yesterday, thank you, will see how next week or two goes here and then decide😊

Thanks Both, I think the start/finish on the track makes it feel special and it’s incredibly well supported every year😀

To be honest, we were really lucky to race in dry conditions, I wouldn’t have thought that as I walked out of the front door😂Looking forward to Saturday, weather seems fairly settled at the moment😊

@@AndyCliffMTBI reckon it'll be on the disgustingly warm side 😅😅

Cheers Craig😊

Thanks Reto, if only it had been tarmac for last 509m😊

Thanks Reto, she’s a bit despondent to be honest, she is missing home and our dog🐾I’ll get started on the edit😀Hope all is well with you, Verbier is getting closer now💪

Thanks, it’s my mother in law but she’s still important😊Looks like I will be creating that video😊

@@AndyCliffMTB I can't wait to see it ☺️🙌 the more of Andy cliff on my screen the better 😂

@@raleyadventures Well I’m really embarrassed now😂

Thanks for watching and thanks for your concern, I hope she’ll be back at home this week. Homemade cakes? I think I might need to revisit Sale soon😂

Thanks Neil, I am hoping she makes it back to ours this week sometime. Yes, see you at The Sizzler😀

Thanks Jennifer, I probably will😊Indeed, I’m feeling encouraged after today’s visit😊

Thanks Craig, we’ve seen her today and she’s better than yesterday, still a way to go I think but I’m hopeful😊 Yes, I just love kicking off my weekend with Parkrun😊Let’s see if others agree and I’ll stitch it together this week😊

Hi Reto, thanks, I was taking it easy tbh😊 I have recently entered a 5 mile trail race in mid-July, the Trafford Trails 5 but I think I can use my road shoes. Something to consider if I enjoy the new format😊

Most kind Both😊Your support and encouragement is truly appreciated😀

Hi Sarah, thanks for watching (and subscribing)😊I don’t think I saw anyone with a buggy but the winter course might be ok with a buggy if you can cope with the climb, it’s grassy and firm overall. The normal course crosses streams so maybe not😂

Thanks for watching John, yes we really got away with it weather-wise on Saturday. You did well at Tatton, nice splits and strong finish💪. I’d been told how tough Lyme was but I had to get it ticked off for my tourist challenge (hopefully 100 by year end). Definitely a trail shoes location😂

Thanks Stu, perfect running conditions, lovely location, shame I couldn’t break 25🙂

Thanks Reto, it was great to have my family there, I get another chance to perform this Thursday at the Birchwood Brook 5K😬

@@AndyCliffMTB Good luck, Andy!

@@RunFreeandStrong Thanks Reto, also, when is Verbier Marathon?

@@AndyCliffMTB Verbier Marathon is Saturday, 6th of July. Thanks for asking.

Thanks Both, I’ve got another opportunity this Thursday, the Birchwood Brook 5K😊

@@AndyCliffMTBim excited to see that 😊 we are getting a bit behind on videos 😅😂 after tomorrow I'll need to release 3 😂 one word of advice I noticed from your run, I reckon you need to try and run the racing line a bit more, you seemed to take the corners very wide which could build up a decent amount of time if you do that every corner 😊 all the best for tomorrow 🔥👊

@@raleyadventures Thanks, I’ll do my best and you’re right, every second counts (and I needed just 15). When I watched myself back, I thought I looked like j was saving myself for the last km😂

@@AndyCliffMTB you still ran great 🙌 it's always better to be stronger second half than die off in the first km 😂

@@raleyadventures I’m on the way back💪😊

Thanks John, I think I can go sub-25, I just have to keep working at it😊

Thanks Linda😊

Thanks Jennifer, as I say in the video, not many people can do that, just being able to complete a 5K deserves kudos😊

Hi Jennifer. Join the club I’ve been trying for an under 5k parkrun for ages. Various injuries have held me up. I currently come in between 32 and 35. I’ll also keep trying though. Closest I got was 30.06 well over a year ago. It would be a bonus but not the end of world if it doesn’t/never happens. Best wishes L…

Thanks Craig, yes it was Thursday 6th, I really wanted to at least break 25 minutes even if I couldn’t PB and I think it was the 3rd km where I lost it, from km4 I felt strong and was pushing hard for the last 750m. I have another 5K race this Thursday so let’s see what happens there😊

Thanks Paul, I always think, 10K is a lot harder than you think😩

Thanks Shara, and thanks for watching my video😊Parkrun is probably the highlight of my week, I love finding new ones. I’ve done the mtb race now, it was last Wednesday, 16K off road and lots of mud. Some of the guys were really fast, doing 7 laps when I did 5😂

@@AndyCliffMTB ah, I thought it was this week.

@@SharaRuns it was on 29-May but there is another next Wed but I might not do it as I have a 5K race on Thursday😊

Hi Will, thanks for watching, it just didn’t come together for me in Geneva but I enjoyed the race itself, it’s quite a spectacle, especially with the great motivational music before the start. I love Annecy, so glad I had a late flight on Sunday and could go for a few hours. There’s an Annecy 10K and Half around the lake which I’m interested in for 2025😀

Yes, it’s the largest 10K in Europe, such an amazing atmosphere, glad to be on the way back to quicker times😀

Thanks Reto, it was a great day, overall happy with my performance and think I’m almost back to pre-COVID fitness levels😊

Thanks Calum, I appreciate you watching and I’m glad you enjoyed them😊Yes, of course, as soon as I saw the word Davenport, I had to say something, I lived on Garners Lane for many years😊

@AndyCliffMTB I saw you mention about being from Stockport on the video. I live in Edgeley, and have been with Davenport Runners since their inception in 2015. I'm also part of the core team at Burnage. I'm hoping that we can share your video soon. It was interesting seeing it from your perspective.

@@calumburrell1564 Hi Calum, small world eh😊 I did ask Nige who was the RD about my video and sent the link to the Burnage email address for them to share if they wished😊

Thanks Stu, I think I’m definitely improving, it’s a very special event✅

Thanks Craig, it was a great day, probably the highlight of my athletics year. I struggled a bit from km7 but overall I felt pretty good. I’ve never run with wet feet before, certainly not that sort of distance and it receded within 24 hours. I only had 3 days recovery before a mtb race on Wed, that was tough, 16K cross country and lots of mud😩😂

@@AndyCliffMTB sounds amazing, hope there's gonna be a video 👍👍

@@TheRunningWhaleIt was full on racing for over an hour, no video as I wouldn’t be able to get decent footage with the low budget action camera I have (Akaso). It made the 10K look easy😂

Well done Andy great time always find it too busy at the start then after a bit get more space to move. I did the original Manchester 10k before the Great run events started Done a lot of them over past 25 years. If you've not done Trafford 10k it's a fast flat course.

@@alldone1116 Thanks, it was very cramped as we went through the timing gate but the crowds and the atmosphere made it feel electric! I haven’t done the Trafford 10K but I’ve heard it’s a really fast course🚀😊

Hi Reto, don't worry but thanks for taking the time to watch it. Shame I couldn't film the run itself (use the footage from the action cam). Could I ask, what equipment do you use for filming and editing?

@@AndyCliffMTB Hi Andy, I use an old GoPro 8 and VSDC video editing software. Their free version is easy to learn (many YT tutorials) and feature-rich compared to Adobe Premiere, etc.

Hi Craig, I like volunteering occasionally, the Great Manchester Run was a fantastic day, weather was pretty good considering the poor forecast. I uploaded a short before as a taster😀

Thank you Linda, I appreciate you watching and it's great to know that people are enjoying them:)

I enjoy volunteering, not as much as taking part obviously but it's good to have a change and give back:) That's impressive , TPT in 3 days! I assume the weather was bad over the top, Penistone to Sheffield? Funnily enough I bought the full TPT route pack a few years back and have kept it for the time I choose to do it, I'm more of a runner these days but I do still enjoy riding and racing my mtb:)

Hi Reto, thanks for watching again, yes, I love encouraging people, especially the newer runners who are finding their way:) I found the TPT on the FKT website, wasn't even aware of that website:)

Thanks Matthew, you’ve got a really lovely park there at Witton, I’m not a fan of hilly courses but I loved running through the woods and everyone was so friendly and encouraging (Swiss cowbells were great😊). If you’ve done 255 at Witton, that’s impressive, good training for UTMB💪I’ll check out your run report now😊

Hi Matthew, that is the most comprehensive run report I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the mention at the end😊

Thanks guys, I do like to include running footage in my videos and the Akaso was great to hold, so light vs the iPhone but it just isn’t good enough🙁
