The Most SAVAGE Challenge We’ve Ever Done!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2023
- We take on what is arguably the UK’s toughest swim run route, Frog Graham Round. An epic course with 4630m of elevation over 65k of rough terrain with four very cold swims. Throw navigation and bad weather into the mix and this becomes a monumental challenge!

What sort of challenge would you like to see us try next? 👀
How about who can find the nicest piece of cake :P. This challange looked cruel, so treat yourself...before the next challange comes around😉.
@@adanos3 Haha we can settle for that 😂
If you fancy more of the same in the future, come and try the Jersey swim run, beaches, cliff paths and some amazing sea swimming sections. And it won’t make Heather cry!
Offas Dyke FKT
Yes to finding the nicest piece of cake challenge 😊 I also love your challenges using gear from the 1980s, eBay, and such!
Lol, Mark is so proud of his littles plans! He's just pushing the boundaries of the GTN team a bit more every time!
Hats off to Heather and James was letting themselves still be caught up in those epic rolls! 😂
Best is, it's not part of an event ... all self prepared, and all.
Well done guys. Epic!
Haha! If we tried to get our own back he'd probably enjoy it too much 😅 Any ideas are welcome!
That looked miserable. Heather is a machine. Mad respect for finishing that
I’m loving all the challenges you are doing together. Dream team content 👏👏👏
Team work makes the dream work! What challenges should we be taking on next? 👀
@@gtn honestly, anything 😊 I'm based in Australia so I'm super unfamiliar with UK events - but it's always so uplifting watching you guys work together through events and challenges, it's always so so inspiring.
I'm without words. Holy moly! I'm a casual runner and occasional cyclist, never swim and I can only imagine from a safe distance how hard this challenge must have been. Huge respect to everyone of you. Stunning 😮
My heart just ached for you guys at the end when they filmed Heather and James walking down those stairs after this insane day and challenge! I just finished my first 70.3 this weekend and my quads were so shattered I was duck walking up and down stairs at Half your speed that day... I can't imagine how your legs must have felt after 10 hours more of effort!!!
Mark you were an amazing team leader congrats and Heather and James, you guys have the most amazing Athlete's mindset to have transcended the physical pain of the challenge and pushed on to finish!
I've nothing but respect and gratitude for you champs!!!! Congrats!
Seriously. If you do such challenges on weekends, what's on your bucket list? Thanks for the tremendous effort you put in to motivate us (Heather, I hope you're warming up somewhere, because you seemed to be cooling down from the first steps). 🙂
Ha yes thanks, it was cold up on those mountains!
I’m speechless. So much respect to the team for not quitting and sticking to it till the end. The life of content creators isn’t easy, you set the bar high!
Thanks, that means a lot to us!
What an epic!
So glad the weather cleared later in the day, and we could see the full drama of the landscape you were swim/running over.
Awesome effort by Heather, Mark and James.❤
That scenery made the challenge a little more enjoyable 😂
LOVE videos like this, super fun to watch, even though i kept feeling sorry for you guys throughout - that’s an insane challenge to conquer, incredible job!! you all are beasts, an honour to have you teach us through your videos. i hope you did get proper rest and recovered well after this. best channel. ❤
my respects to Mark, the guy just looks as if he's not done 16hrs of trail-swim... brutal fitness
Although something like this is beyond my capabilties, this was very inspiring to see. I’m very impressed by all three of you, although it was special to see Mark at the finish line looking no more exhausted than after a park run - if that. Anyway. If you ask me I’d like to see more content like this.
Mark really benefitted from Snowden earlier in the year, really showed 😎
Mark was in his happy place during this challenge, mountains, rain and epic swims... It couldn't be more Mark! 😂
You guys are on a tear with the great videos! Love seeing everyone's spontaneous reactions and personalities in these race vids. The beautiful scenery and gear/training tips and insights are just the icing on the cake!
Thanks! Is there anything you'd like to see us take on next? 🙌
That was awesome! Congrats to you guys, you are really champions! Hope you had really enjoyed… maybe one day I will do it! Once again, you nailed! 🎉
Absolutely brilliant, fantastic achievement, great video…thank you for sharing 👏👏
Amazing! Awesome effort...I was tempted to try it at the start of the video, maybe not after watching it till the end 😂
Well done! Looked crazy hard, but massive props for sticking with it to the end.
Love these videos!!! Is like being there with y’all doing epic adventures! Thanks for taking us along 🥳🥳. Weather looked horrible but somehow y’all made it look so much fun.
It was a tough, epic day out! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌
CRAZY challenge! Kudos on the amazing effort and thanks for taking us along!
Loved this . Brilliant film 🎥 . Super strong effort 💪💪💪
You are all simply amazing and have such grit and mental strength (as well as physical of course) to get thru that. Awesome stuff as always you three!
Thanks - it was an awesome effort by the team 🙌
Un f’n believable!!!! That was incredible, so stinking cool. Mad props for finishing!!!!!
Genuinely amazing stuff, so chuffed nobody quit, kudos 🙌
What a brilliant video. Well done guys. You all did amazing.
You lot are awesome 👏🏻 thank you and keep up the good work…. I really enjoy your videos 🏊♀️🏃♀️
You guys are beasts💪🏿💪🏿. I Love your videos, they get me up and moving. I ma yet to try my first triathlon (poor swimmer) but I have the running and cycling down. Thank you for inspiring your viewers.
Amazing effort. Love how you all do these things together.
Team work makes the dream work! Did you catch us tackle Challenge Roth as a team? 👉 ruclips.net/video/Xv0Vvk8nyhs/видео.html
Absolute Heros. Keep thinking up these great challenges Mark. Well done Heather, James and Mark. I'm looking forward to the next one. I'm glad you did not quite.
Glad your enjoying our content! 🙌 What challenge would you like the team to try next? 🤔
Epic! Kudos to the film crew as well!
That looked absolutely brutal. Bravo for completing the challenge.
well done, impressive effort!
Epic, awesome effort guys.. great to watch too.. total dream team.. you’re like the Top Gear / Grand Tour team of multisport!!
We'll take that as a compliment!
Epic! Well done team GTN. Skiddaw as a first climb is a beast!
epic one guys. well done for braving it out despite the bad weather.
YESSSS THEOOO!!! I’m starting my triathlon journey too. A specific weekly training plan of what you do (ish) would be quality✌🏼 keep up the work bro, smashing it!!!
Amazing looking adventure. Thanks for the hugely inspirational video.
Our pleasure!
Excellent job guys! That is an amazing example of human endurance. Tip of the cap to Mark!
Congrats! That was brutal but epic
Wow that’s an impressive challenge, good job for not quitting.
Given the conditions THAT’S really your biggest achievement; in warm sunshine that would still have been a monster 65k, but not half of what you endured.
Very very inspiring display of iron grit and perseverance.
Kudos to all three of you
Insane guys! Welly done :)
So crazy and epic!!! You three are AMAZING!!!
I’m exhausted just watching this! Amazing job!
Wow! That was brutal. I don't know how you do it. You guys are great!
wow!! huge respect for finishing this one
This was epic. Wow and well done!
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! What an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations on not giving up - definitely upped your mental strength game.
If there's one thing the guys are good at then it's never giving up! 💪
You're all nuts! Well done 😁
Very impressive, good warning at the end
Omg, i mean it in the best way possible but that looked absolutely miserable 😂 amazing how you supported each other and were able to pull through - Kudos, great job by everyone 🙌🏻
Who doesn't love a swim and run in the cold and wet! 😅 Would you like to see more content like this? 🤔
Only five minutes in, and you are all insane :)
Just finished it, and that was absolutely epic. Mark engaged beast mode for this one.
What a beautiful area. Despite the weather challenges you faced you guys did amazing and that was an epic adventure.
Inspired! But thinking over 4 days 😂 amazing effort 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Well done, that looked tough. Go GTN!
🙌
Amazing!! Love it.
Great challenge ! Just the right motivation for day 1 of my 12 week Oly Tri training which begins tomorrow 👌🏻
Best challenge yet :)
You folks continue to inspire.
Triathlon woop
Thanks! What shall we do next?
Gosh the opportunities are vast :) how about a triathlon relay across Somerset, Devon and Cornwall :)
If you do, I’ll bake pastys to award yall at the finish in Kernow
This looks WAY TOO HARD to try it 😅
What a great video as always. Epic!!!
Chapeau guys, that looked seriously hard!
You guys have to be more than only colleagues but really good friends to get through this tough adventure together! It's incredible what you're capable of! 😅
I can't lie, I thought I was about to watch a few DNFs and almost feel bad for you again. But, you deserve the respect like nothing else your audience could give you. A truly monumental effort and for Heather who kept up with the guys was like a story-book of inspiration for even the fittest of women! Wow!
Bloody hell u guys are absolutely insane - to put urself through that and not even get to run / crawl over a ‘finish line’ with people cheering you on and no medal …..crikey, hardcore or what !! Your all incredible massive massive congratulations and kudos to you all 💪💪💪🙌🙌
We cheered them back into the Office on Monday don't worry! 👏
Kudos to you 3 AND the camera crew for getting this done. Wow.
Love this! Epic effort. Well done to you all 🙂 bet you all slept well after that?
well done!!! congrats
Hope you're well james, I've been thinking of you since you mentioned your mental health hasn't been great, sending huge virtual support to you on that. Hang in their buddy, life with young kids can be brutal 🤗 xx
Awesome ~ Congratulations everyone!
Incredible, well done 🎉
This looks absolutely nuts!... You guys have the best job that I would never like to have... LOL. Still, I'd love to try that route someday... Keep up the great content GTN!
Glad you're enjoying our content! Thanks for your comment 🙌
Wow! Congratulations guys you were epic!
Shockingly epic 🙌🙌🙌
Well done guys. Kudos.
Thanks!
Ohmy goodness! Knowing that route, you are all mad for attempting that off pat. Absolute respect for finishing
This was fun to watch especially with all 3 of you doing this challenge together. Did you all get major blisters with hiking with wet shoes? That was the first thing I thought of! Love your challenges and content! Huge fan from Hawaii.
I don't think any of us did which is surprising but then I haven't looked at the boys feet!
Love to see some swimrun content ! Cheers from Sweden
We are a big fan of the swimrun 🙌 Did you catch this tough challenge? 👉 ruclips.net/video/MkuMb2o3OmM/видео.html
@@gtn Yes I did ! Keep 'em coming 🏊🏃
Good job. Another round of GTN hanking themselves.
Just came back from a week-long holiday in Keswick and recognize a few spots. It was not warm or dry in the last few weeks so you certainly suffered sufficiently! Bravo
Could've sworn that I saw Heather at the Keswick Park Hotel last week but I'm sure I was hallucinating...
Great job. Good video for sure
Incredible effort. Well done!
Thanks a lot - any ideas for what we should take on next? 🤔
What an effort guys, well done all involved! No mean feat this!
Stuff like this deserves a humongous applause button! 👏
Love watching you guys do challenges, you always seem a little underprepped but have a great time anyway
Hahaha a little underprepared ... that could be our new slogan 😂
Big thumbs up to you guys that is brutal. Loved to see you near the place I call home, was brought up in those hills, weather pretty normal. I think you should have another trip up here with a fell runner.
A nice way to spend your day !!!!Well done awesome
Amazing achievement guys 🎉 xx
Great job by all of you!!
That looked so cool.
Mark is always so modest!😂
Wow! That was an amazing effort. I hope the beverages, food, and warm bed at the end were magnificent.
I’ve rarely watched a RUclips video and though “Hell Yeah!” As much as this one.
However, with neither kit, nor indeed any swim-run experience, I’m not convinced this should be my opening gambit. But one day…
Well done all of you!
Mega! Well done you three!
Best challenge yet! Really enjoyed this one
Great to hear! 🙌 Would you like to see more content like this in the future? 👀
@@gtn yess!
You should do the Dragon's Back race in Wales! Legendary 380km, 6-day ultra running journey through Wales. From Conwy Castle to Cardiff Castle
Crazy, but totally awesome.
Well done, brilliant video and fantastic achievement. Any chance of a gear used video, please? Would love to know about your wetsuits, dry bags, etc…
Great stuff. Now do the Puddle Buckley 😁
Did he say frog Greame round as in Bob Greame. 😂 brilliant! Although Bob would still work.
The swimrun spin off of the Bob Graham Round 😂
OMG Heather! Your hands! Absolutely EPIC challenge!!
incredible!!
Amazing 👏 I'm telling you, this crew must be made of iron on the inside. Yes, this is INSPIRING. Thank you all, especially the presenters. I'm sure you can't tell how hard it was just by watching but this was beautifully scripted, presented and edited, and the emotions are all there. Special cheers to Heather, we can tell there was heaps of mind over matter on this one. I'd love to watch a shorter video where Mark, Heather and James each go over the mental states they go through in a 17+hour challenge (!), feel a bit broken, and still deliver.
