Cheers Paul, not sure how it stayed so level !

Cheers Paul, ay, wasn't too far off it this time ! Hope you have a good '25 too!

@@MattClarry​​⁠I thought it was on but close. Looking strong Good luck

Thank you! Congratulations on the PB!

@MattClarry Is that insta360

I use a GoPro hero 10

Cheers Stuart, Yeah it was nice getting the course PB, even if it was just scraped by a second!

Cheers Jamie, yeah its a PB, just by 1 second, but it still counts. Yeah, think that was probably the dampest its been when I've been there, I'll try and bring the sun, next time !

@@MattClarry I was around 22 seconds down off my normal times with the bad weather so 1 second PB is massive mate!

Cheers! Yeah, almost had it! Wow, that sounds like it would've been interesting to navigate! Happy New Year to you too !

Thank you! Yeah, conditions weren't great for going quick, nor were the trainers! Ay, always trying to get sub 20, had a few good ones under this year, but not recently it sadly!

Cheers Keith! Yeah, that's it for running in '24 for me! I've been reasonably happy overall. And I've been happy with some of the parkrun performances this year, had some nice sub 20s, some way under, but not been able to build on and maintain it, which has been a bit frustrating! Hopefully I'll be able to get there in '25! Happy New Year to you too!

Thank you! Happy New Year to you too!

Cheers Garth! I was a bit disappointed with the pace, even on the hard ground I wasn't about to hold a good speed with the trail shoes, I'm definitely blaming those!

@MattClarry time of year is likely a factor too, the cold weather. I'm at least a minute off the sort of pace I'm happy with atm. But that's happened before and it soon seems to return when the weather improves.

Yeah, could be. Hopefully it won't take long to come back!

Thank you John ! Yeah, I'm on Strava, same profile name !

Thanks Mark ! It is a nice parkrun, though you might want to time it for when its been dry, those grass sections are challenging when its damp.. when you get round to it !

Thank you.! I use Garmin's Virb software to overlay my watch data onto the video.

Ay, it can be tricky sometimes getting through when it's busy

@@MattClarry I'm off there today. Merry Christmas!

Ah, cool, have a Great Christmas and a great run!

Thank you Paul. And a Merry Christmas to you too!

Thank you Garth, didn't have the pace in the legs this time to go any quicker. Yeah, there were some very quick ones out there !

Cheers Stuart, yeah, it was a bit on the chilly side, about 6 deg with a cold wind blowing, not quite the 41 you're having! Thank you and I hope you have a great Christmas and New Year too!

Thanks John !

@MattClarry have done Roth Park run

I've done Rotherham and Rother Valley parkruns, both very different courses to each other, got my eye on Rothay Park parkrun, though not sure when I'll be doing it yet!

Hi, I use a GoPro Hero 10 black, on a chest mount

@@MattClarry ok thank you.. i was wondering as its not moving around much

I just use its own built in stabilisation, it is quite remarkable how much it steadies the picture!

Was good meeting you too, glad you like the video, will have to return again in the new year when it's a bit firmer underfoot!

Ah, cool! I think the course changed last year sometime, to avoid a crossing or a road. I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!

Cheers Jeff, I usually do double knot them, not sure why not this time, won't make that mistake again! Ay, he as very quick!

Yeah, he came pretty much to a dead stop, turned then flew off. After that, I couldn't catch him again! I'm going to claim credit for his PB 😉

Cheers Stuart, yeah, it was a little. Bit soft underfoot on the grass too!

Thank you Mark! I'm glad you're enjoying them and finding them useful! There are a bunch of fun and challenging parkruns in and around Sheffield and Chesterfield, I think you'll enjoy exploring and running them!

It was indeed! I did overhear her at the end saying that was the toughest parkrun she's ever done!

Cheers Keith! Yeah those hills are a killer! I think the only flat part was the 30 metres at the top corner of the course, before the sweep down to the start/finish. Much like Grave Park. you're either going up or down, very rarely going flat!

Cheers Stuart! Oh wow, thats nice and toasty, glad I could be of some help ! 🤣

Cheers Keith. I'd say it was soft underfoot but not soggy, though there were a couple softer squelchier areas, mainly on the upper side going between the fields, the rest was in good condition, but definitely a day for the tail shoes!

Cheers Jeff! Conditions weren't great, but yeah, I had trail shoes on, would've been too sketchy with road shoes on, I think. Ay, as blue shirt dropped back, I thought I might have a chance at first finisher, but then 100 took off and disappeared into the distance and that was that! I've had one first finish, fingers crossed I'll get another one day!

Something like that!

No, its not an easy one by any stretch, especially in those conditions, Even with the extra diversions, it didn't seem to add too much extra on at the end. It is a nice park, spent a lot of time there when I was young!

Ah, cool, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! I'll be doing the winter edition for the first time, this January too!

@ Great - hope you enjoy. Fingers crossed for no snow and ice.

Should be interesting either way, I suspect it'll be one for the trail shoes this time, either way! Give me a shout if you spot me !

@@MattClarry will do. I will be the one passed out towards the top of stage 2 😂

Cheers ! Yeah the conditions weren't the most pleasant I've ever run in. The driving wind and rain was actually quite painful at times !

Cheers Keith, yeah, it wasn't the most pleasant run I've ever had ! Can you tell I wasn't really pushing it as much as normal !?

Yeah, they did, I think it was pretty much the only one running in the area, don't think there were any in Sheffield on, there was one remaining in Lincoln and one in Doncaster, but definitely not a day for tourism, as there were a few last minute cancellations, wouldn't want to travel for an hour, only to get turned back!

We don’t like to cancel at Rotherham if we can help it! Sorry if times were off, I was time keeping and the conditions made it difficult

You did a great job in very difficult conditions! My official time was pretty much exactly the same as my watch time, so I'm happy, albeit still cold ;-)

😂

Yeah, sorry 🤣, That's the sound I make when there is freezing rain, ice on the ground and -5 wind chill and I want to get started to warm up (he didn't, in fact, warm up)!

@@MattClarry 🤣🤣Given the weather I believe you!!🤣Thought I saw your brother running as well?🤔

😂 Yeah, he was there too, as was dad too! They were on their way to Sherwood pines, but diverted to Rotherham due to the last minute cancellation !

It is indeed snow/ice, or at least the last remnants of it! Had a cold snap and the first snow fall of the season on Tuesday and despite all the rain from Storm Bert, there was still some patches of it.

Ah ha, nice! You had a lightning start.. then just disappeared off into the distance! Ay, we were pretty fortunate with the condition!

Yeah, very much so ! I was reasonably happy, would have preferred getting sub 21 for that course, maybe next time !

Yeah it is indeed, I had forgotten how many ups and downs it had!

I'm using a GoPro hero 10 black and the first version of the GoPro chesty mount.

@@MattClarry seems very stable. Im using gopro 13 and latest chesty and its quite shakey. How did the battery last so long?

That is a surprise, I would've assumed it would be more stable! I have been using the enduro batteries and have been able to complete a half marathon without the need to swap by reducing the frame rate/resolution to 1080/30 from 2.7k60 and turning off WiFi/Bluetooth. Though recently the amount of time they last now does seem to have reduced.

@@MattClarry thats good. Your video came up randomly on up next. Your doing what ive recently started videoing all my parkruns trying to go to lots of different ones. You did my local doncaster one a week after me. Where u from

Ah cool. That'd be Sandall then ? I'm North Notts. based, Clumber is my local parkrun, but I have few others in the area that aren't far away too.

Cheers! Yeah, I was happy to get sub 20, especially for 250! And thank you for the sub, much appreciated!

Thank you! Officially, it's 1250km, but there have been one or two over the years where I didn't have my barcode, so it's probably closer to 1260km, but who's counting 😉🤣

Cheers Jeff! Yeah the weather has been good for it, though it was a little chilly in the fingers by the end though!

🤣 ha ha, cheers Keith!

Thank you Paul !

Cheers Stuart !
