If this were the challenge, the best strategy would be to run down one street and then sit at a bench for an hour. But it would work if everyone had to run the same distance, rather than the same time.
The edits in this one are A-MA-ZING. the map with rick, the bell-dings, the foreshadowing, and the chat between Andy and Rick. Great, just great. No science, only banter!
I love Sarah’s excuse 😂 “I did like 2 assisted pull-ups and therefore I’m not in top form”. Congrats on the pull-ups cus that’s genuinely a good achievement and more than I can do 😂 but it made me giggle
@@runningchannel Go for 20 minutes, 1 minute on 1 minute off. High speed for a minute, no moving in the next minute. Whoever covers the most distance wins. It would test a different part of your fitness (HIIT) and might allow for different rankings in the results.
Never been this early to a video. Not sure what to do here. I feel a bit lost. A bit nervous. I think I’ll just join the challenge and go out running for an hour.
Ok, I’m back! Old habits die hard so ran in a loop and ended up about one meter from where I started. So 1 meter was my result. Time now to watch the video and see if I beat anyone! 🤞
actually, after watching your final results and taking the percentage of the 'straight-line-distance' over the 'actual-distance' the results are somewhat different... (which is more fair imho, because it lowers the influence of the fitness/athletic part of the challenge (of who can straightup run further in 1h) and adds more value to the navigation part (which was the point of it, as far as I can tell)) here are the new results: . . . . Andy 9.14/12.84 = 71% Sarah 9.08/10.17 = 89% Rick 8.55/10.44 = 81% Tom 5.88/6.88 = 84% This means (based on a measurement of navigation-skill) Andy comes in as last place, with Sarah winning (sorry Andy) and Tom overtakes Rick aswell. Enjoyed the Challenge (and the maths) ✌
Kind of fair, but the optimal strategy under those rules is to just run down one straight street right at the start and then stop for a 100% score. Naturally, it becomes harder to stick to a straight line the further you continue. Perhaps most fair would be for everyone to run a 10k according to the watches, and then score it based on how the crow flies
Yes! This challenge is a better version of my proposal on the last challenge video, which tests both navigation and running should in an urban environment. This is fun!
Really think Sarah should have said 'On y va!' instead of 'off we go!' for this one. In all seriousness this was one of my favourite videos and love the challenges you do. Do more of them please!!!
Great watch as always, I have binged TRC this summer combined with watching the Olympics, it’s been an awesome summer for running, I’m now missing the daily podcast!
Anther brilliant challenge!! I wish there was a group that put on unofficial challenges like this... that would add serious fun to training! Congrats to all for handling the heat, people, and road blocks! (And 2 assisted pull ups!) 😂
Loved the ale Excuse Cam The editing for this was great! I liked the other suggestions to get the percent difference for the straight line distance and actual distance.
One of the most fun run videos I've watched this year 😅. It wouldnt surprise me if after all Rick is still running to England, to the cold north 😂. Also compliments to Andy, who was giving the others a better chance at winning by intentionally running in a circle first, that is some real sportmanship!
I like coming up with strategies for these kind of things and i think I would run away from the seine because then it feels like there would be less pedestrian traffic 🤷♂️ anyway loved the video 😌
I'm Texan and try to jog sometime between 5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. It's usually 75 - 82 degrees (24 - 28 C) during that time and very humid, so listening to them struggle in 28 C made me feel a little better and so validated. It IS hot. Very hot. And I refuse to run in the afternoon when it's 95 - 105 (35 - 41 C). The people who manage that are nuts.
Not sure how fair that was - the fastest person ran the furthest. The second fastest person ran the second most. The third fastest person ran the third most and the slowest runner ran the least😅
May have already been said, but Sarah should win at 89.4% straight, then Tom at 84.2%, then Rick at 81.9%, then Andy trailing wayyyy behind at only 71.2% straight.
"Il fait chaud et Tom fond!" 😂Do you have a French person in the production team ? Bisous from France, it's lovely to see some French content on TRC ;)
Would be great if you would do these challenges in a way that don't give the faster runners in your team such a big advantage. You could use accuracy for example (kms as the crow flew divided by kms run) for example. 😉
I turns out dolphins don’t come out of the water for a drink: Instead, they get the water they need from their diet, which is primarily fish and squid. The body fluids of these animals have lower salt levels than seawater, so dolphins don't need to drink seawater to stay hydrated. Dolphins also produce water internally through the metabolic breakdown of food
Watching everyone suffering in 28 degree heat… while I contemplate the 40 min tempo run I’m about to do in 30 degree heat. The joys of a Canadian summer!
Got to admire Rick's optimism to run to England in an hour
It's all about the positivity 😂
That’s the gavi talking 😂
"Now there's a yellow car!" hahaha. Callback win!
😂😂
Cracked me up that line! Great stuff!
I have seen a yellow car on every run since that video! 😅
"Heading north, it gets cooler" 😂lol, I love challenges with Rick!
As a % of distance run
Sarah: 89.4
Tom: 84.3
Rick: 81.6
Andy: 71.3
Arguably fairer way of deciding a winner
Exactly what I was thinking

@runningchannel Sarah you actually won!!

Such a fun video, all the goofs added in post were great as well. Loved the "TRC translates" bit
So glad you enjoyed it! What should the next challenge be?

Thank you, I needed that! Had been procrastinating all day... Will watch the video when I'm back. 😎

Sarah, that was not the Olympic torch. It's a météo baloon that they hoist in the air. The torch was at the Louvre where you started.
😂 We'll let her know
Awesome video! The presenters are great as usual, but big shoutout to the editor(s)!! You made this video great!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
honestly, I really enjoyed the editing with the little notes here and there :)
What would you like our next challenge to be??
@@runningchannel HIIT
omg LOVE LOVE LOVE the map-humour and sarcastic comments and translations - kudos to the editor and I need more videos like this. Incredible! 😂

Rick wondering what animal he is... Obviously he's a pulse ox.
Excellent reference!
Great video guys! Easily the most entertaining running videos on RUclips 👍🏻😄
Super excited for this! Love your fun challenges!
Let us know what you think!
The editing on this is so good 👏🏻
Yes! This challenge is a better version of my proposal on the last challenge video, which tests both navigation and running should in an urban environment. This is fun!
Andy and Sarah's reactions at the end was so funny =D SO CLOSE! Congrats, Andy!
I love these challenges. Andy and 'Little Miss Smug Face' classic. Absolutely loving the Olympic podcasts.
Really think Sarah should have said 'On y va!' instead of 'off we go!' for this one.
In all seriousness this was one of my favourite videos and love the challenges you do. Do more of them please!!!
It's wild seeing Sarah & Andy running on one of my regular routes!
The humour in this video is above par 😅 Merci énormément pour le « excuse cam ».
Yes loved the Le Excuse CAM too
Honestly thanks for the reminder to like the video. So often i forget and just click away at the end
Great watch as always, I have binged TRC this summer combined with watching the Olympics, it’s been an awesome summer for running, I’m now missing the daily podcast!
😂😂😂 I didn’t think Rick actually ran lol. Good to see him outside. Hope he put moisturising sun protection on 😂😂
The le excuse cam was genius 😂
I was really hoping Rick would compare himself to an ox!!
Anther brilliant challenge!! I wish there was a group that put on unofficial challenges like this... that would add serious fun to training! Congrats to all for handling the heat, people, and road blocks! (And 2 assisted pull ups!) 😂
The new animal names by Rick are priceless🤣🤣🤣🤣
Loved the ale Excuse Cam The editing for this was great! I liked the other suggestions to get the percent difference for the straight line distance and actual distance.
Gotta apreciate their efforts to speak French, defenitily unique for foreign tourists!
Same as your efforts to try and type English. 😏
@@Tritiuminducedfusion You get the point😉
Great challenge as always! Top effort from all and some great random comments from Tom 😂😂 My favourite 4 😁👌
The editing has been top notch lately, Le Excuse Cam!!! Very fun challenge and video.
Le Excuse Cam was my favorite bit. So good

🐬 don’t mind me. Just popping up for water ✌️
Last time I was in Paris my friend and I walked from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower, it's a gorgeous route choice of Sarah's!
Oh cool that i see a video so early 😍
Greatings from germany, love you guys ❤☺️
Hey! Thanks for all of the support 😁
I was in France, near Nantes for the olympics it was warm, but incredible atmosphere
When I was in Paris for the Olympics, most roads were closed to cars. Simple tactic would be to run in the road and run towards the sun...
You guys are such fun. I am struggling to get out the door to run, but am now going to try this. Please do other fun ones, like the treasure hunt etc.
Starting at the arc de triomphe is quite the advantage!
25°C, luxury!
I've been running in 30+ heat lately and it has been awful, dropped to 28° yesterday and I was able to get a half decent run in finally.
Given that Sarah started at the Louvre, I'm not sure that was the Olympic Torch...
😅
Yeah that was the parc André Citroën, not the torch :)
Calling it early...it's Sarah winning...again!
Oooooo but are you right?
I like coming up with strategies for these kind of things and i think I would run away from the seine because then it feels like there would be less pedestrian traffic 🤷♂️ anyway loved the video 😌

Isn't the best person supposed to win? Sounds pretty fair to me
Love the race and all your comments and complaining 😊
Great Video. Really well edited 👍👍
The barriers and roadblocks for the Olympics plus the heat made this challenge fun to watch but I bet really frustrating.
Oh it had it's frustrating moments 😅
May have already been said, but Sarah should win at 89.4% straight, then Tom at 84.2%, then Rick at 81.9%, then Andy trailing wayyyy behind at only 71.2% straight.

"Il fait chaud et Tom fond!" 😂Do you have a French person in the production team ? Bisous from France, it's lovely to see some French content on TRC ;)
This is a cool idea. I might give it a try.
The graphics were hilarious 😅
Nice I usually i’am able to do about 13 to 14 k on the treadmill within an hour that of course involves do the 10k at a fast good pace
Was there just last month.
More than the Olympics, I would have loved to meet with you guys. 😢😢
“That’s where I started” 🤣🤣🤣
My 5 mile easy run yesterday. 92° F with 67% humidity. Finished in 50 mins.
Hey TRC! Are there plans for a round of merch soon? The shirts all look fantastic. Would love to rep one in Australia sometime soon!
Sarah’s 2 min break 😂😂😂
My 5 mile zone 2 run this morning was exactly 1 hour how weird. 😂
what great timing 😂
"le excuse cam" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Louvre the video!
Dolphins are notorious for popping up for water!
Would be great if you would do these challenges in a way that don't give the faster runners in your team such a big advantage. You could use accuracy for example (kms as the crow flew divided by kms run) for example. 😉
I'm so shocked, i was sure Gavi was a red wine!
😂😂😂😂
I think that was triathlon transition area Sarah ran through in the video...a brief acting Jess moment
I'm less than 1min in and my guess is that Sarah wins again 😅
Sarah's 2 minute rest is the same 2 minutes that my old PE teacher gave us to recover 😅
It should be measured as a percentage to be fair, the runner who can run the furthest in an hour overall is very likely going to win this.

Exactly what I was thinking except from the southern US haha
@@boonachh in just a matter of months it will be -20 here and I get a whole new set of problems!
@@runningchannel definitely got the heart rate elevated, looking forward to autumn!
Rick thinks he's a cat? I thought he was an OX!
Video idea - who can create the best Strava art 🤔
🤐🤐🤐🤐
I had picked Sara to win and Andy to come in 2nd. Oh well 😂
Le excuse cam!
hi the running channel do you need thumbnail designer ?
Rick's wife must be cringing at his French speaking.
😂
@@runningchannel le excuse cam?? not even trying now :P your translator must be from Shediac speaking chiaque like that.
Rick, you’re an Ox remember?!
The title of the video should have been "How far can a non-pro runner run in an hour"
How long did it take to edit in Rick’s translations 😂
Next time you should score it by who ran the straightest line!
Hi best workout schedule for 5k
Have you used a training plan before?
Finally, I'm early 😂
Nice to see you! 👋
The editing is perfection 🤣🤣🤣
Rivers are pretty straight? what school did she go to?
Ask your watch what animal you are rick, maybe an ox?
Yeah, 25C is not that hot........ if you live in Australia.
How do you come up with these ideas?! 😂
Hey! are you looking to add a new editor to your team? would love to discuss, if you’re interested.
No Rick, your an ox!
5.8km 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Little Miss Smuggy Pants!
Last 1 hour competition I entered was ~14,8km, surprisingly because I didn't try that hard.
blimey that's impressive!
@@runningchannel the straight line idea is great though especially in a big city like Paris.
Great video guys! Easily the most entertaining running videos on RUclips 👍🏻😄
