Well done 🎉🎉🎉

I got my first ever sub 20 at West Links Arbroath Parkrun. Nice and flat but it’s rather boring. Only been once but it’s a place I’ll remember simply because of the sub 20 run. These conditions are not pb friendly. All the best on your running journey my friend.

I'm 52, height 5 foot 8 weight 63kg 5k this year 20:45. Target 2025 19:xx. Currently running 50k a week with two hard sessions a week. I don't really have a target weight, more a target look. I look at the world class 5k athletes from Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia and they are all more skin and bone than me. Same heart size, same lung size, less weight, go faster and probably just as important, less stress on knees, ankles, foot tendons, calves, achilles etc. Looking to build up to 60km a week over the next couple of months, small distance progressions spread over 6 days a week of running. Such a great sport!

Icy roads zap the strength. Easily comparable to gaining 10kg of weight.

Assuming you are not at perfect weight or are not underweight to start with, 1kg fat loss will gain you 1% performance.

25.17 is great, mate, especially when your previous fastest km was 5.07. You just ran 5km at 5.03. The theory works. In fact, it's not even a theory, keep training, structured running and you'll most likley take it the next time around. Do 4 weeks training and hit it again 👍🏻👍🏻

When you're at the right weight and fit it still takes a number of attempts for all factors to slot nicely into place - so PBs might only happen every three or four attempts. Maybe your next attempt will be worse or maybe better. You got a PB despite several factors against you and I think a clear cut sub 25:00 parkrun will give you another boost. Be disciplined with the food, esp previously over xmas because the continued weight improvements will amplify your results. 23:00 5k doesn't seem like a silly target, 50:00 10k again fine and after that a sub 2 HM isn't really pushing yourself. To start with it seems a bit dreamy and then it's a distant challenger but eventually you get it done and those results are just a little measure of the improvements you've made. Good luck

Have just lost 9.5kg myself, but know that I haven't seen a speed increase yet because of a lack of energy, I think I need to go back to eating a bit more before I will see the benefits on my 5k time.

Good video mate. I'm about the same size as you and been trying to get under 25min for my 5k too. I think it's a decent pace for us bigger lads! Keep up the good work. I'm gonna try and not indulge too much over xmas!

It's "Losing". There is only one o.

Real down to earth personality and a great watch. Look forward to following your journey. Enjoy Christmas...that will be just a little bump in the road but you have to live a little still.

Impressive effort.I hope you continue to progress Looks a great pr venue.

Bempton, ‘down in Yorkshire’ ….. I like it! (written by a Dorset coast inhabitant, currently in Cornwall. Nice vid. take care …. up there. 🙂

Great running and a great shot of a beaver 👌

Good effort. Enjoyed your video. Beautiful parklands. I parkrun here near Sydney on the East Coast of Australia. Not quite as fast as you but then I turn 78 in a couple of weeks. I lost weight before I started running just over a year ago by canging my diet and eating habits. When you are lighter it not only reduces the impact forces of running on your body lessening risk of injury but also makes running faster much easier. Worked for me.

Well done, a very respectable time. Look forward to seeing the rest of your journey.

Hi Ian, not sure how I ended up here, but well done on the transformation. I went through a smaller weight loss experience a few years ago, and then a battle with cancer and chemo (trust me when I tell you I'm glad the weight came off first). Since getting done with treatment and starting from scratch physically, I've been running and cycling daily, and completed two ultra marathons this year. It is crazy how relatively little time it takes to be able to do things that were previously impossible, with a little bit of consistency!

Ian, that was brilliant. I'm very tempted to have a go at that event. You made it look really good. Well done.

Thats the best footage i have ever seen of a wte Ian, thanks for the video, Mick.

Well done Ian, especially after Tiree! 🎉

Nice video. Well done Ollie 😅. Great job Ian too.

Well done

well done Ian. Great job. Such an inspiration. Well done my friend

My friend, who also completed Tiree this year, just shared your video with our running chat. Huge well done 👏 very inspirational

Well done!. My husband ran it this year too. He said nothing was happy about happy Valley😂.

You’re an inspiration 💪 see you on Tiree next year!!

aw yeah 😎

Looks like such a great walk, will need to go there and see if i can spot the beavers, one of my favourite animals. Cheers!

Fascinating.

Brilliant blog mate, may I ask what gimbal head are you using.

Incredible video!

Stunning aerial shots. Lovely to see so many in Nairn this year - been incredibly elusive for a few decades. I remember watching dozens in a matter of hours heading north each year at this time on the Ayrshire coast, about 30 to 40 years ago.

Great video

Was great thank you Ian

Wow, That was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this. 🙂

Fabulous! Thank you!

Hi Ian, that was me with the puncture there. Thank you very much for taking the time to help us. It was much appreciated but unfortunately my tyre was unrepairable so I walked to Dalwhinnie before getting picked up

Wow well to you both!

Love your channel, being familiar with Multiple, I really enjoyed your videos and the information together with photographs

Amazing photos, tá siad go iontach. I'm from Ireland and the Capercaillie has been extinct here for nearly 300 years. Its great to see that people have a passion for endangered Indegenous wildlife so please keep up the good work Bí sábháilte agus sláinte

Nice one Ian I've also photographed them at brid in the past.

I just love Mull and that sound of calmac I could hear that from the Craignure Campsite 😂😂😂

Such majestic bird! following the channel!

Harriers are known as the sky dancer of the sky , good video .

Hi Ian, not quite related to this vid but recently watch nice ones of your Mull trips, Im off their soon and would like to ask your advice re best focal length specifically for the eagles. As its hard to judge the distance they are from the boat on video. Thanks

Wow! that's great!

I’m on Mull right now and I’ve seen golden eagles and so many other birds. Mull is magical …

I think why the female capercaillie came to you is kinda same thing as here in Finland, sometimes Capercaillies come to humans during lek or after it, females being messed up from hormones or desperate to get mated.

Very low audio sound, cannot hear what is being said is a bit muffled also, room acoustics. Maybe a microphone would have helped.
