Good on you Sean! I’ve been rediscovering running recently and have been loving it, however I have managed to shatter my clavicle by coming off my bike! I will rewatch this film in 6 weeks when I am allowed to run! 🏃🏻♂️ Best wishes, Simon Conway (perhaps a distant relative?!)
Reminds me of a British Beau Miles. Would be good to see you do the 24hr Marathon - check it out. You've got a similar style and to put your own spin on it would be great to see. Keep em coming.
Sean, from across the pond, congratulations on an absolutely terrific video documentary. At 72 yrs old and still running after 30 yrs your observations of just enjoying the run are spot on. I’ve run deserts and mountains. It’s amazing what you see in your environment when things slow down and your out just to enjoy wherever you may be.
A good friend sent me the link to this. Great timing. Today is a running day. I had just got home from some errands and mixed my pre-work shake..I sat down to drink it and saw the mi with the link.. I recently stated running again..I hadn't ran in many years. I will 60 in 3 months. This was a great fun story and good motivation. Thanks Marissa and funny running guy.
Just came across this video now.........fantastic , brilliant stuff. I have just run 700kms in the month of May 2023 and was an epic adventure across England and Wales and like you I absolutely fell in love with running because of the adventure..........
So inspiring Sean. When I started running, I started because I had to loose some weight. A year later I'm running because I love to run. And like you said, it's all about the adventures now. Love it!
You're a free soul brother. You literally have no limitations to your ideas and thoughts. I enjoyed the video and running in that T rex inflated toy was hilarious.
Loved this a lot! Your challenge was awesome, your poem was so great, and I laughed so hard at the dinosaur run! Especially the way the cows reacted. Motivation to keep running is a struggle and you made it look so enjoyable. Goings to end this to my running buddies.
Oh dear. I live just a few miles away, on the other side of the Clwydians, and have thought, on any number of occasions when out on a run or bike ride "Hey, that looks like the weird beardie bloke who did the great youtube video of JOGLE a few years ago". And now I find out it probably was you all along - unless there is another similar beard in the area ! See you on Pen Clodd sometime !
What a fab little video you can get caught up in competition so much you forget the joy it actually brings just to run .. that’s where I am currently and I’m falling back in love Again with the sport
Sean, you are such an inspiration. And the same time you succeed in staying so normal and kind. And funny :-) Wish we all could have a little bit of Sean in us ;-)
Brilliant film Sean and i know that area well! You’ve done well to find any flat routes around there. I fell out of love with running too and this week I’ve started to run again. Definitely bay steps for me. Well done and keep making great content.
Really enjoyed watching this again... and now I've printed out a schedule to run a 496 (might have to be March....) but who knows I might just find a day and start...!!
Sean, you've hit the nail square on the head with this video. So many people get so caught up with pace, hr, vo2, trying to get that sub-3 , 4 ,5 hour whatever race they doing...But they lose the point of it all- to have fun, the thrill of traversing the landscape in the purest form there is, to adventure! Keep on rollin'!
That blue pipe you pulled up at 06:02 is actually a bit of old pipe left as a marker for the water companies, helps them locate buried valves in rural areas.Just FYI haha
Well done Sean, and thanks for sharing.I really enjoyed watching the video during my treadmill run. I’ve been slowly trying to fall back in love with running after being quite unwell the last few years. I’ve been building back up the fitness slowly but surely. I started with a 6 minute jog and I’ve added a minute per day. Today was my first 45 minute jog after years and I’m so happy. Fingers crossed I can stay well and get fit and healthy again. Well done on your journey and thanks again for sharing.
Followed your day to day adventures on this challenge via Instagram and used them as inspiration to complete my own challenge of 300km walked in January. Went to some brand new places, met loads of new people and even one other mad soul doing the 496 challenge as well. Just one question, what’s the big hole in the garden for?
I enjoyed this alot thank you for preparing it. Inspired me to run different courses daily. I live in a city with no trails so really enjoyed the area where u are able to run.
What a superb film!! And such a great challenge! Congratulations Sean 👊🏼 I did a running challenge in January too - not quite as intense - I ran 5k every day in order to fall back in love with running and it worked 💙 Thanks for a great vid!
Sean, I saw this and knew This is what I NEEDED! Tomorrow is Day 22! 496k Challenge - Day 21 = Complete. Stats: * Miles Ran to date = 147.24 * Total Time Running to date = 19:20:25 (h:mm:ss) * Miles Week 1 = 20.19 (2:35:50) * Miles Week 2 = 48.42 (6:24:30) * Miles Week 3 = 78.63 (10:20:05) * Average Per Mile Pace = 7:53 * Miles Remaining = 160.28 (10 Runs to complete) "[No] is only a good answer if it's the one I'm looking for and today - I'm not looking for [No]!" #NoLimits! #Ageisjustanumber
If fat and unfit is your only reason, then it's no excuse. Do yourself a service and get out there. Start slow, no one says you have to run all the time. It's not gonna be fun or easy, but it is gonna make you happy (you can't help it as exercise produces happy hormones).
Little misty-eyed here. Sure this is a great film and all that. But this is really a love letter to yourself, to your family, and to all of us. Thank you.
Great video heard you talking to teapotone yesterday so after listening to you talk about this adventure I’d thought I’d give it a watch and it’s very inspirational
Great effort mate. Glad you have your mojo back. I do this in month of November since 2013, but in miles 1-30. I have to add more adventures though ;-)
Great film, great challenge!!! My wife and I are all over that! Starting Sunday, going to try and think of our own tasks/ideas for each run, though it’s going to be hard for me to not do the trash one-thought that was brilliant.
Im really proud of this film and the 496 challenge. Thank you to all who followed me throughout.
We need a tour of that shed!!
The big question on everyones minds, did you keep going?? Cracking effort!!
Brilliant video 😎 Thanks for inviting me and others along for the challenge it was great fun to do the #496 challenge 👍
Good on you Sean! I’ve been rediscovering running recently and have been loving it, however I have managed to shatter my clavicle by coming off my bike! I will rewatch this film in 6 weeks when I am allowed to run! 🏃🏻♂️ Best wishes, Simon Conway (perhaps a distant relative?!)
@@Escapaid Hahaha. No, but I wish I had.

Exactly what I thought. 😁
100% agree!|
It’s because they both are gingers haha
Yeah, they both have a beard.
Spot on.
British Beau Miles for the win!
Running in the dinosaur costume made me laugh out loud. What a great challenge this was! Well done!

what a wonderful little film .well done! ....natures gym, the best in the world.!
Probably the most imaginative and inspiring video about running I've ever seen
Great film maker 👏 honest appraisal of what really happens emotionally, physically and mentally with big mileage 👍 really great work
Just came across this video now.........fantastic , brilliant stuff. I have just run 700kms in the month of May 2023 and was an epic adventure across England and Wales and like you I absolutely fell in love with running because of the adventure..........
i just complete today 500 miles of walking!!!! in 1 month and 5 days .
So inspiring Sean. When I started running, I started because I had to loose some weight. A year later I'm running because I love to run. And like you said, it's all about the adventures now. Love it!
Great job. The ice bath was above and beyond.
1) love the poem! 2) this was a brilliant video. Two thumbs up!
Stumbled across this video and really enjoyed it put a smile on my face
Captured the highs and lows of running perfectly!
Amazing video, truly inspiring
And can somebody tell me why a guy running 15k in fcking dinosaur costume doesn't make front page news???
I’m not a runner but I really enjoyed your video, well done! Very well put together and although it was serious you added some humour too. Brilliant 😁
Well I might just get my Sneakers on again. Nice film Sean and well done. Amazing achievement and great tree jumping at 9 minutes.
Enjoyed that alot! . . .had a laugh when you said you were doing 27km but on the flat as a recovery day . . .ha ha . ..its still 27 bloomin km!!!
You're a free soul brother. You literally have no limitations to your ideas and thoughts. I enjoyed the video and running in that T rex inflated toy was hilarious.
What a great idea, and a great video. Well done Sean !!
Loved this a lot! Your challenge was awesome, your poem was so great, and I laughed so hard at the dinosaur run! Especially the way the cows reacted. Motivation to keep running is a struggle and you made it look so enjoyable. Goings to end this to my running buddies.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to hearing you speak in Belfast and hopefully meeting you tonight.
Very cool video mate! Not often I’ll sit through 23 mins but this had me hooked! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Really enjoyed that film.
Well done. You did great!
What a perfect little film. Reminds me to get back to my 'running roots' and just enjoy the journey that it takes you on.
Absolutely - was just thinking the same
Perfect Mr. Conway. I admire you. Best regards.. :)
Great video, hell of a challenge, especially with all the snow. Not easy running in snow at all. 👍
Thank you for sharing the adventure.

Well done, Sean. I enjoyed it very much.
What a fab little video you can get caught up in competition so much you forget the joy it actually brings just to run .. that’s where I am currently and I’m falling back in love Again with the sport
Interesting approach to motivating yourself, so simple yet so insidious, might just have to try it.
You are my running hero. Thanks for this video!
Sean, you are such an inspiration. And the same time you succeed in staying so normal and kind. And funny :-) Wish we all could have a little bit of Sean in us ;-)
That was a truely inspiring video. I loved it!!! Thank you very much for that. Best Regards from Germany
This is perfectly awesome! Great short film!
I enjoyed this. Biggest takeaway was the skill vs motivation graph. Getting out that valley is hard.
That graph is not correct, on the x-axis is the time and both motivation and skill are on the y-axis. But anyway, the reasoning is still correct.
Brilliant film Sean and i know that area well! You’ve done well to find any flat routes around there. I fell out of love with running too and this week I’ve started to run again. Definitely bay steps for me. Well done and keep making great content.
This is such a great film!! I Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Well done!
Thanks Al
I love your positive attitude and your humour. So much more inspiring and entertaining than most of those dead serious challenge videos.
Loved the challenge of this. I’m not a runner but going to take the idea up for hiking.
What a great video. Really made me smile hope you do more
Alastair brought me here, I'm glad you fell back in love with running. Holy January ;)
This is so brilliant, funny and inspiring! Well done and thank you Sean!
Beautiful video. Love this. ❤
Really enjoyed watching this again... and now I've printed out a schedule to run a 496 (might have to be March....) but who knows I might just find a day and start...!!
Great challenge very motivational love the ice Tub

This was wonderful. Thank you.
Starting tomorrow, I aim do this 496 challenge. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great work as normal Sean. Thatd inspired me to run tomorrow for the sake of the journey and not the time or distance. Thanks.
Super excited for this challenge in the future
Well done ... amazing effort and video!
Nice inspiration you gave ...and still a nice amount of km's at the end of the month ✌️✌️
Great little video. Inspiring!
Loved it, great idea, what a lovely area you live and your wife seems to like William Morris, love your kitchen wall.
Yes Sean. Love the rare and random videos like this of you. More please!
Absolutely fantastic & such a great achievement. What a cool genuine guy aswell 👏
Really well done on an awesome film Sean.
This was so good. So good. I am in such need of this inspiration right now. Thank you, sir.

I can not run, I am unfit, fat and over 50 - but I enjoyed every moment of your video. You are such a lovely person and very motivational :)
If fat and unfit is your only reason, then it's no excuse. Do yourself a service and get out there. Start slow, no one says you have to run all the time. It's not gonna be fun or easy, but it is gonna make you happy (you can't help it as exercise produces happy hormones).

A really heartwarming video. Thank you.
Loved it. I'm having my own lack of motivation. Just need to keep the faith
A good adventure idea and target while we are staying local in lockdown. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Very well done, video and challenge. Cheers mate!
This was awesome
Beautiful vlog, thank you
Great video heard you talking to teapotone yesterday so after listening to you talk about this adventure I’d thought I’d give it a watch and it’s very inspirational
Wow, I am so happy for once someone did nit spoke about time and pacing a run. This is it! Enjoy running for what it is truly.
Beau Miles doppelgänger for sure or vice versa...You are both charming and a ton of fun to watch. Thanks for doing it. Where do I get that Dino suit?
What a great idea Sean!
Thanks for sharing and inspiring!
I got really happy watching this ;)
Great idea, awesome video!
Really impressive and very inspiring video. Such a cool person. Really enjoyed watching it.
Very inspiring! Thanks!
The cows running away from the running dinosaur 🤣
Beautiful, well edited and inspiring
Well done. I need some of this. Thanks.
Very inspirational. Love the idea. I am going to do it.
Loved it. Great idea!
That was a great video
i loved this video! Very well done ^^
Great effort mate. Glad you have your mojo back. I do this in month of November since 2013, but in miles 1-30. I have to add more adventures though ;-)
very good quality stuff there! nice challenge as wel though! really enjoyed watching greets
Great film, great challenge!!! My wife and I are all over that! Starting Sunday, going to try and think of our own tasks/ideas for each run, though it’s going to be hard for me to not do the trash one-thought that was brilliant.
Ha, I didn't realise he was a comedian too, love it 😂
This is amazing! What a great guy :D
This is gold! ❤️🏃♂️🦖
Great content as always Sean.
A real joy to watch.
Good film ... Great job!
