GREAT NORTH RUN 2024!! | Weekend Vlog

It's that time of the year again - the Great North Run 2024! I vlogged my whole weekend, including the UK 5k Road Championships, the pre-GNR parkrun, and of course the big day itself. Man I love this race. Same time next year?

That’s a cracking video John, well done 👏

well done!!!

[@james_dodd]

Really enjoyed this video and many of your others mate! It was my first time at the GNR and all I can say is I’m praying I get in next year!
I’ve recently discovered High Carb Health, who specialise in helping people heal naturally from IBD. They have helped me a huge amount with my running but also my everyday life as my Crohn’s is more or less non existent now. Defo worth a look into :) (sorry if this comes across as patronising, it certainly isn’t meant that way.)
As I’m sure you know, Crohn’s Disease can be brutal. The fact that you’re able to run a half marathon with it is awesome. Well done 🤛🏻

Don’t worry, more than happy for any advice!! Thanks, I’ll give it a look.

Love your enthusiasm at the start of the race!! Congrats on your run, shame the weather wasn't quite the best!

Great video John & such an epic performance from both of you during the race, well done on that time 😁👍🏻

[@leebeckett8980]

Incredible time, loved watching your vlog. I was a volunteer at leazes parkrun then in the pink wave so probably had only just started when you’d finished 🤣

Great video John

[@freddyruns]

Great work mate, really nice video 😎👏

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

It certainly was a soggy day. Well done 👌

[@BillyBobJoeSnr]

I didn't think I'd be running at 7 min mile pace but I somehow got over excited and found some energy for do the last mile at 7:11...Was a great day out again.
Just for point of reference, I'm in my late 50s and still can comfortably get in under 2 hours. So you can keep don't this for another 30 years if you want.

[@johnhinton_runs]

I’ll get back to you after the 2054 GNR video comes out!!

[@BillyBobJoeSnr]

@@johnhinton_runs I'll keep an eye out for you as I watch from the comfort of a high backed arm chair.

[@tomedy_official]

I remember you running past me just on the last mile well done!

[@kevinscott4938]

Well, if you didn't have social anxiety or fear of crowds at the start, then I'm sure 60,000 people around you didn't help. Glad to see this years GNR was better overall (despite the rain) than 2023....I look forward to my annual rejection email for the GNR.

Well done John.The two of you made it look like a walk in the park.🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@nedludd3641]

My two cents: I ran it, I loved it but there were just too many people imo. Having to wait in constant drizzle at the (Green) Start Wave Area for ninety minutes is not fun. As I neared the end, I had to work my way around hundreds of people walking four-a-breast up the hill. I guess if one were an Orange Wave runner you'd miss all that. Approx. 60,000 is too many for the course imv.

[@johnhinton_runs]

yeah interesting point, I don’t envy the organisation for a race like that though!
