Great adventure from both of you

The network of trig points was set up to facilitate accurate mapping of the UK. Each has a highly accurate grid reference and orientation. The inset on the top is to attach a theodolite which can then be used to measure angles, distances and elevations for mapping. Whilst you cannot always see another trig point from each a number of other survey points will be "visible" (as these could just be post locations for stadia rods etc. they are unlikely to be visible to the naked eye and many have since been destroyed or built over).
Always like a good challenge route. Especially where you get to plan your own, but have to visit a specified set of points. Route choice can be a an important part of a fast time. Personally I find the descents are the make or break part. I can descend quite well on rough terrain, but once I have overloaded my quads, it is game over. I learned this the hard way on a fast (for me) Yorkshire 3 Peaks attempt.
Well done Mark and Heather! I looked at the FKT website and there are some routes near me, but they are quite long. Well it give me a goal to work towards!
Your both troopers. Such conditions to run in. I will check for FKT here in Manitoba. One Thing. What is the make of the back pack Hydration pack Heather had on? Thats what I require for my runs. Right now me loving wife comes out to hand me water on my highway routes. Any trail runs I won't get that option.

As an ultra runner and someone who has done FKTs and have had bad weather along the way, this was the meat of how it's done! Thanks for showcasing it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well this explains the 38K “lunch run” on Mark’s Strava.
Loving your channel and these challenges in particular btw - keep it up!

Fascinating, thanks!
FKT and a history lesson, all wrapped in a ball of mud. Very entertaining, thanks!!
We tried our best ;)
Hmm.... there's a 40 mile loop one hour from my house with no set time on it. Might just have to give it a go.
Do it! Let us know how you get on, and if you find any new trails
Love to see the suffering and determination. Keep up the inspiring content to keep us all chasing big goals!
Well done Mark and Heather you kept me inspired for my running. Great fun to see.

Running my old route! Well, with the addition of another 30km
This was so enjoyable to watch - your area is so scenic and has such rich history too. Well done guys
Very nice adventure. I so wish Fraser would take part in this kind of challenges. They seem really great fun outside.
Well done Mark and Heather! I looked at the FKT website and there are some routes near me, but they are quite long. Well it give me a goal to work towards!
Good luck
Super effort both of you, big hats off!! Brilliant results!!
You're talking about the FKT website but you haven't linked to it in the description. It would be easier if you did :-)
Next year you two will make it ;-) .
Great video 😀
There is one around my hometown! Its just about 31KM long. Tho I am nowhere close to being able to run for that long lol
That was a quality video you too are megacool there - that looks a great Way of seeing the end of COVID-19 out ❤️
Haha that social distancing
Heather, your the coolest, Mark is just fast!
Pretty cool to learn something of world class note from your GTN videos! Are any of these in Australia?
Yes, you can find a full list of FKT's here 👉 gtn.io/FKTroutes
There’s one really close by me here in Scotland but I’m still way too new to running to attempt a 40 mile run!
Maybe go and try a section of it. Knowing some of the trails in Scotland, I can imagine it’s a pretty stunning route
@@markthrelfall3577 will definitely be making this happen!
It's 8 degrees and raining, or summer in Scotland... :-)

It's from Ultimate Direction, it's really old, was a hand me down from Emma Pooley!
What a great run route!
Excellent video!
Loved your history lessons Heather! LOL.
I did my best, but must try harder!
what kind of navigator gadget did you guys use? why did it do the beep beep beep's at the checkpoints?
damn, those phones are getting good these days with the video quality!
keep it up live from the Philippines ♥️♥️♥️
Great video all 😃
Not sure how and why... but i read it as breakfast!
17:00 did you ever spot it? lol
Mark how did the HM week go?
Known time?
All I'm hearing in my head right now is Jay from Inbetweeners "beaten it".
Why are you running with a bike gps ?
What are the little GPS devices you used?
We actually carried our Wahoo element roam bike computers.
What was the one you did called? i couldn't catch it :)
Dan Booth Round
A lot of tummy problems?
Why isn't it just called a "course record"?
Because people who did not record their run or made it publicly available might have ran faster
