- Today I ran Widnes in 20:23 and finished 24th.
I had a great time at Victoria Park. Everyone was great and friendly. I was really impressed with the flowers and scenery. The love running past the statue 4 times and I enjoyed watching the water fountain. I saw the record holder for this Parkrun and believe me she is phenomenally fast. She ran it in 17 minutes.
Unfortunately, I have been struggling with mental health this week. My mental health got really bad, like really, really bad... I was not eating or sleeping. I was living on coffee and three hours sleep. I just wanted to carry on, even with it being very difficult.
It's all over now and I am feeling good again. I will keep fighting (and running) for what's right. Let the haters hate. Nobody has the right to hinder my progress and put me through that ever again!!
I would like to thank my friends, family and even the Greater Manchester Police for checking up on me at my lowest. I would like to also thank my support network and colleagues getting me through this.
I am sorry for oversharing.
Lovely run this
Thanks! What a lovely video - great sunny day 😊 I run on a treadmill while I'm coming back from a couple of injuries and your videos are some that I enjoy running to. You're a bit too quick for me (I'm a 23m+ parkrunner) so I start with a couple of minutes of the pre-race stuff. Please keep it up!
Sorry to hear of your mental health issues. My wife had a back injury, sciatica, then lack of sleep and started hallucinating and hearing voices. She had 2 stays in mental health hospitals and thought of suicide but is thankfully now fully recovered. She shared her problems and a lot of friends and neighbours told of their own similar episodes. That really helped her to understand that many other people go through difficult times in their lives and get through them. It made her feel she wasn't alone. Sorry for the long reply but hope it helps you realise you are not alone and other people have been through it. Good luck to you 👍
Thank you for caring, I will keep it up. 👍
There’s so much negativity in the world these days and there is a lot of people who use their online platform (and voice) to spread negativity and hate. Then there’s people who use their platform for positivity and be motivational, such as yourself.
Always look on the bright side: it’s a nice sunny day for a run, I’ve had a good night sleep and I’ve got a loving wife. Let’s keep my chin up and look at the positives.
Good luck to you too and keep positive.
@@markbailey3786 thanks for the nice reply. I hope things gradually improve for you and in the meantime I can see there are a number of people who watch your videos and appreciate you taking the time to do this for us. Good man! 👍
Great video once again! Thank you for uploading :)
Thank you for watching.
@@markbailey3786 Thank you for uploading every week, it motivates me for my weekend runs :)
Thank you @@insaneryy, it means a lot.
"morning ducks!" 😂
Couldn’t resist 😂
Well done Mark. Life can be hard sometimes. There is always support for you. Keep running, it's a great thing to do!
On that, a quick running question. Do you wear carbon trainers for this run? I know Widnes is one of the quickest. I'm a similar pace to you and hoping eventually for a sub 20!
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
I just run in New Balance, Ascics, or Under Armour. I’m not really in to specialty shoes.
Thank you for caring, I’m going for counselling and working on my mental health. I will keep running for what’s right.

Hi Mark. Don’t know what has happened, but feel worried for you. Hope you’re ok. Keep your chin up… 😘
Thank you for caring, I will keep doing my best. It’s just been one of those crazy weeks.
Well done on your run! It looks like a very fast field there. They had nearly as many sub 19 minute finishers as we did except we had over 800 finishers today!
You needn't apologise for oversharing, we all need an outlet, but I'm glad you're working your way through it. Stay strong & keep running.
Thank you!! I will keep up the good work and thank you for caring. I highly recommend Widnes Parkrun. I will keep doing my best!!!
What is faster Widnes or st helens
Well done to you Mark , I cant imagine what you are going through, it must have been bad for the police to get involved, keep running. I look forward to your videos every week. Take care.
Thank you for watching. Thanks for caring…I will keep on being positive. I will keep running and keep these videos.
