I was diagnosed with the a complex tear of medial meniscus. Got so bad that my leg would lock and I couldn’t straighten my leg at all as the meniscus got caught in the joint. I had keyhole surgery, walked out of the hospital the same day and was running again within 3 months. I’ve since run PBs at every distance and completed my first marathon. I know everyone’s journey is different but hopefully your dad will get fixed up and be back running again soon. Good to see you getting back to fitness too Cole.
Dad’s definitely stressing about his knee, I’ve tried to reassure him but I’m sure he’ll be relieved to hear your story! His is very complex too but there’s definitely a chance he’ll run again!
Fabulous run Cole. And great video. It really is a special event isn’t it - although after 2hours getting out of South Shields I was a bit over it 😅 Won’t stop me returning next year though.
Was good to see you back mate, I think I gave you a cheer about mile 6! I seen your dad cruising on past too, what a grafter. Glad to see you all had a good day 👊🏽
Well done Cole. I was carrying a few niggles so was just pleased to finish in 1.46. But we can always go again. You're just a natural runner so will always get decebt times if fit.
I did my first GNR this year in just over 1hr25, but I didn’t take heed of trying to warm up immediately after finishing. I walked to South Shields metro, developed mild hypothermia in the process, then got medical attention & passed out twice and vomited in the process. I’m fine now though thankfully I agree with you regarding reversing the course direction. It’s a nightmare trying to get out of South Shields. The phone signal was non existent too. It would be much easier getting out of Newcastle city centre
Randomly came across your video. Hearing you mention Cerebellum Ataxia in this video was on a nice surprise. My Dad was diagnosed with this around 27 year old and I ran my first GNR this year for Ataxia UK.
@@ColeRunning they ran a different route during Covid which did come back over the bridge and some definitely preferred it and finishing back in Newcastle
@@ColeRunning I’m good dude I’ve just got back into running I’ve got my first half marathon in November then Manchester marathon in April. Came across this channel because of it small world 🤣
mate it’s a shame to hear you talk so much about not over-training or under-fuelling, and then already you’re racing 5 days after a HM + counting the amount of meatballs you’re having for dinner…
It’s nothing to do with the amount of food I’m eating in terms of calories, I don’t want to feel stuffed on race day. Every other day I’m cramming in the food at the moment trust me :)

Great weekend Vlog. Best wishes to Mr Gibbens with his bad injury.
73 is a great progression point on your return to full capacity.
Thanks a lot guys, I’ll be sure to let him know!

It’s a great event! The hatrick for me, I’ll skip next year I think and return to the big half!
@@ColeRunning did that this year shame they are both on the same day next year.
18:06 imagine running a half marathon for a coke zero - utter heartbreak!
I know right! Pepsi max or nothing
@@ColeRunning 100%! On a more serious note, it's good to see you back. You seem much happier about running than before your break.
Was good to see you back mate, I think I gave you a cheer about mile 6! I seen your dad cruising on past too, what a grafter. Glad to see you all had a good day 👊🏽
Thanks a lot buddy, yeah man he’s a proper grafter. Never known anyone dig in as much as him, proper inspiration is my dad!
Great run. Great video. Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed, thank you!
Absolutely smashing time Cole. Great effort.
Thanks a ton!

Thanks for sharing! Sorry to hear about your dad! Appreciate you tuning in!
Yep that's a comeback 🎉 Beautiful English summer :P
Thanks buddy, it always rains in Newcastle!
Just secured a spot on the 2025 event 🥳 Now struggling to find accommodation 😖 Well done to you, cracking effort 👌🏻
It’s a nightmare! We stayed in wallsend :)
Great work
Keep it up 💪
Great time man👏👏👏
Thank you buddy!
Great effort, mate
Would definitely love to finish in Newcastle as I’d be able walk home, but it would be quite the climb up the motorway to the finish!
Very true! I know there’s probably other logistical problems but think finishing in Newcastle could be cool!
Reversing the direction would make for an uphill finish...maybe that's why they don't change it?
Yeah potentially! Was just an idea but you could be right!

Thought I saw you in front of the baggage buses at the start!
Yes sir that was me :)
The true backward cap fans having been looking forward to this! 🧢🎉🏃♂🏅
Thanks Steven, appreciate your support lad 👊🏻
Look like you’ve put on a few lbs, you look a lot healthier 👍
Thanks mate, hit the gym a little while I was injured and definitely got a much better relationship with food now matey! Thanks a lot!
Wait I know you worked with you at five guys
