Great video again. Quite right, a really nice event but not a great race. Hot and hilly so not easy at all. Best goody bag ever for me was Milton Keynes, like a buffet! pea-based pasta? what on earth? and last time i tried that corn I lost a tooth!
Well done on the podium finish MARM. Really enjoyed the race even with the heat & all the undulations 😂.The locals did a great job cheering everyone on. I'll be over for it next year. Oh and I see what you mean about the 10k runners being dumped out on the course 😂. Great to see the lady from Oakland's. MARM has his first groupie
Yeah Julie, no worries sure I'll see you at another race. Warwick looks handy enough to get to from Birmingham airport. Berlin marathon next month so a tough race like Sundays should benefit me.
Save the pasta for your pre race meal when you race again. I am not able to do half marathons any more so it is good to relive the experience through your videos
@middleagedrunningman I was a few seconds ahead on chip time but we were pretty much together through most of it. I was unexpectedly very close to my PB. Any recommendations of upcoming half's for PB attempts? I'm local to solihull
Good running Tim, great result! I was about to say the same thing about fusilli, not sure what was the point in getting it after finishing the race. It's not like you could cook it on the spot :) P.S. That Marm tattoo was really cool.
ran this race while over in the UK on holidays... 4 days before the race I got Gastro, 15 km's in thought I was going to die, finished the race with the last 6 Kms being walk, run, walk, run... spent half an hour trying to find my car. Never again 😆
@@middleagedrunningman absolutely 😅… if it wasn’t for the lack of training, sickness and losing my car the actual run always really, quite nice, lots of support and lovely countryside… Few more drink stations would have been nice… 👍 😂
Watched your video from last year to get a feel for this one...those bleeding 10k runners cost me a PB Another top video, not sure it's been said before but you give off massive partridge vibes and I love it
You were on the last stretch of your half and , if I’m going to be honest you looked too knackered to wave 😂. It was so bloody hot and some of those hills were killers . You did smile though! 🙂. I did the Solihull half last year and the Stratford half this year ( think you did the marathon ), so thought I’d mix it up a bit and do the 10k. Well done on your time ! 💪🏻
I would love to be in that race committee meeting and that one person that says,‘I have a great idea for a race freebie, dried pasta’.😂 taking the term ‘replenish those carbs’ quite literally.
Another top effort Marm. I think the pasta is gluten free or high in protein or something. I got some last year at Worcester half. I'll go and check in a mo as it's still in my cupboard - you never know when you might need a birthday present at short notice. I'm a bit concerned that you forgot that you'd driven in as you seemed to be walking home at the end. I was doing the Birmingham canal Canter Sunday, otherwise I'd have been there with you guys. They feed you at the checkpoints which I did for more than an hour! My diet isn't going too well.
Nice to see that you got the date correct this time! The guy at 9:43 didn't seem that impressed with your rendition of Suburbia - clearly not a MARMer.
Top running, Tim! Well done on your school properly getting involved. The dynasty continues with another 3/3 in Korea or Career! The big question is, did you smash Chris Cooper?
Geographically you could be driving up from Cornwall...... but if you're driving from Solihull you could run there seriously..... as a young lad like you treat it as a warm up 😅😂🤣
Bloody Career or Korea… I started so well in season one. Ever since the woke mob introduced courier… my performance has taken a nosedive. Can’t get it right to save my life
Just found your channel and glad I did. Loving all rants and bants on each video. 👍
“Rants and Bants” great name for a regular section!! Thanks for watching Darryl.
5:24 seconds in Orange and green Oakleys ! That’s me! Great run got around in 1:52hr
Well done mate. Was a tough one.
Fuming with 2/3. Thought the last one was career. I'll never get full marks 😢
Hilarious, action packed video today, Tim. Great work sir 👏 👍
Cheers Mark. Keep plugging away. Will be worth it….
3/3 🙌 Highlight of my day 😅
Hearty congrats Claire!!
Great video, Haley finally managed to get 3 out of 3 and she was over the moon haha, quality racing again, well done 🎉🎉
Delighted for Haley. You put the work in, the results follow. She must be thrilled.
Gove updates are essential moving forward marm. Great running though
They are. He will make a comeback in Sept:
That's mental 😮 A marm tattoo 😎😎
Running royalty is Pete.
the corn has to be had with ice cold larger , great run marm 😊well done
It’s the only way through it!!
Great video again. Quite right, a really nice event but not a great race. Hot and hilly so not easy at all. Best goody bag ever for me was Milton Keynes, like a buffet! pea-based pasta? what on earth? and last time i tried that corn I lost a tooth!
Ian!! Yes!!! My fillings have taken a battering on that corn.
Well done on the podium finish MARM.

Great to see the lady from Oakland's. MARM has his first groupie
Julie?? She’s great. Lovely to see her. Heat and Hills were a toughie!!! Sorry to miss you Cremins…. Bloody 10K…..
Yeah Julie, no worries sure I'll see you at another race. Warwick looks handy enough to get to from Birmingham airport.

Totally agree with the corn and biscuits. A bag of pasta at the end is definitely a new one on me ha 😂
Just what you need at the end of a hot race….
She offered me the pasta, I gave her a look of disgust and stormed off 😂
Nice run Tim, I'm the one in the orange vest chasing you down at the finish 😂
Hi Ryan!! Did you get me??
Were we fairly close the whole way round?
@middleagedrunningman I was a few seconds ahead on chip time but we were pretty much together through most of it. I was unexpectedly very close to my PB. Any recommendations of upcoming half's for PB attempts? I'm local to solihull
Great time . well done loved the banter.cheers me up.thankyou.
Thanks for watching and commenting Paul!!!
Thanks for the reminder! I’d left my pasta in the car!
Quite enjoyed my salted caramel biscuits though. Great running as always Tim!
Cheers Andy.
Let m know any good recipes for the pasta….
Dried pasta! 🤣🤣 that’s a new low in end of race freebies 🤣🤣🤣. Great run 💪
Strange one for sure.
Good running Tim, great result! I was about to say the same thing about fusilli, not sure what was the point in getting it after finishing the race. It's not like you could cook it on the spot :)
P.S. That Marm tattoo was really cool.
Pete is an artist!! Great to see you!!
Well done Tim. I must try this one year as it is just down the road.
It’s worth doing Alan. Great atmosphere
ran this race while over in the UK on holidays... 4 days before the race I got Gastro, 15 km's in thought I was going to die, finished the race with the last 6 Kms being walk, run, walk, run... spent half an hour trying to find my car.
Never again 😆
Would you recommend to a friend?? 😂😂😂
@@middleagedrunningman absolutely 😅… if it wasn’t for the lack of training, sickness and losing my car the actual run always really, quite nice, lots of support and lovely countryside…
Few more drink stations would have been nice… 👍 😂
Superb vlog and good to see a strong result in your home town 🫡
Cheers Todd. Do it next year mate!
Another brilliant time especially in that heat. Well done 👏🏻
Cheers Andy! Great atmos at this one too.
This was my first half marathon ✌🏻
Hope it went well my friend!!
Well done, looked for you but didn't get so see you. Love the event village at this one. It was getting a little hot by the time I finished 😂😅
The village is great to be fair. But yes Helen, a bit of a scorcher!
Watched your video from last year to get a feel for this one...those bleeding 10k runners cost me a PB
Another top video, not sure it's been said before but you give off massive partridge vibes and I love it
It’s been said…..Have to embrace it….
Gave you a shout on your back down the hill over the motorway! Great content. It was a great event!
Cheers Jim!! Did I hear you?? Great event. Cracking atmos I thought!
@@middleagedrunningmanhaha no you were right in the zone! :)
Sorry Jim!
What an absolutely superb time 👏👏👏
Thanks Deano. Really hard work that one.
Hi Tim- sorry to say I was one of those pesky 10k runners, I gave you a wave as I regularly watch your hilarious videos .
You were a 10K runner Tracy??? Did I wave back?? Sorry if not. I’m ever so friendly really!!
You were on the last stretch of your half and , if I’m going to be honest you looked too knackered to wave 😂. It was so bloody hot and some of those hills were killers . You did smile though! 🙂. I did the Solihull half last year and the Stratford half this year ( think you did the marathon ), so thought I’d mix it up a bit and do the 10k. Well done on your time ! 💪🏻
@@Lottie-f5p thanks Lottie!! Pleased I broke a smile. You nailed it. Knackered.
Marmy Army! I got 2/3 in the quiz.
Beast!! Great score. Expect 3/3 next time….
Outstanding running Tim, impressive time. Corn and pasta😂 brilliant. They may as well chuck a jar of dolmio in the bag.
And a garlic baton.
I would love to be in that race committee meeting and that one person that says,‘I have a great idea for a race freebie, dried pasta’.😂 taking the term ‘replenish those carbs’ quite literally.
At some point, surely SOMEONE says something?
Another top effort Marm. I think the pasta is gluten free or high in protein or something. I got some last year at Worcester half. I'll go and check in a mo as it's still in my cupboard - you never know when you might need a birthday present at short notice.

Don’t worry. Remembered my car….Had to go back and get the gazebo!!!
3 out of 3 boom 🎉
Great work Cameron!
Got all three right in the Korea/career quiz. Your diction has obviously improved. Have you been having relocation instruction?
I've been working hard on it, Freight. Thanks for noticing!
guy in orange at the finish line giving it some effort!
He’s a MARMER
2/3 happy with that 🎉
Tough match on Sunday. 2/3 is strong.
Nice to see that you got the date correct this time! The guy at 9:43 didn't seem that impressed with your rendition of Suburbia - clearly not a MARMer.
“Lost on the high street, in his phone screen….”
Hi - can I ask which software you use to edit your videos? Great video again as usual
I use an app called Splice.
I hate editing so I do it on my phone to get it done as quickly as possible!!!
@@middleagedrunningman thanks very much

Top running, Tim! Well done on your school properly getting involved. The dynasty continues with another 3/3 in Korea or Career! The big question is, did you smash Chris Cooper?
No. Sad to say he smashed me. 1:21 for Chris…..
@@middleagedrunningman ahh fair play. If you’re going to lose to someone, may as well lose to a racing snake who does 81 minute half marathons!
Correct
Will you be doing the kenilworth half this year?
I will be there my friend. You?
@@middleagedrunningman already have plans but I’m trying to make it work! Doing the big half the weekend before.
Geographically you could be driving up from Cornwall...... but if you're driving from Solihull you could run there seriously..... as a young lad like you treat it as a warm up 😅😂🤣
Good shout as ever Spoons!!
Where is GOVE Marm?
Benched him. He will be back in September!!
@@middleagedrunningman that’s okay then the GOVE battle must continue I have to try and beat mine on September at my 10k race
Did you beat Gove? 🤣
Told Gove to mind his own business this week.
"Generosity of spirit that comes with a high disposable income", loved that.
It’s accurate in all elements Ed.
Bloody Career or Korea… I started so well in season one. Ever since the woke mob introduced courier… my performance has taken a nosedive. Can’t get it right to save my life
It will come back Harps!!
