Brilliant coverage and intro to this race! Looks like an amazing event, great effort up those climbs! Brutal!
I thought it was about time I watched this - Highlight has to be you quoting Eminem 😆
I definitely need to have a beasting on those hills - some of those climbs looked brutal!
I'm looking forward to some of your quotes after you've smashed this one!
Great racing, Francois. Some of those climbs looked brutal, as I think you said at one point.
Great finish! Awesome course!
Well done fella. Hats off to ya
Amazing video! Well done xx
This is incredible and I am running the anticlockwise in September... first time doing more that 20 miles. Cannot wait
Thanks! You'll love it! It's a great route, really well signed and amazing aid station volunteers! Take your time with the climbs, enjoy the views and best of luck!
Brilliant, great effort, great vlog 👌
Such an epic video, those trails look great. Huge well done mate yeeeeehaaaaaa
🤙 Cheers, thanks for watching. It was a great day out all round. Grateful for the good weather, well worth visiting the Lake District if you get a chance. Yee Haa!
Great footage, thanks for uploading. I've had my eye on this race for a while. After watching this, it's definitely on my bucket list!
Go for it! I loved it (although some parts suggest otherwise). I think I'll enter again next year.
Brilliant video - absolutely loved your footage and commentary - will share with my friends and fam so that they can also appreciate the route. You ran an epic time - congratulations :)
Please do share! Thank you so much for the support. I really enjoyed this race. Did you run it or are looking to run it?
Well done great run 👍
Absolutely stunning! What a epic race! Certainly got me excited! Hopefully I can give it a crack next year! 🤞🏻 Hugo kudos to you Francois you absolutely smashed it mate! 😎🤘🏻
Thanks dude! It was really a great race and one I think I'll return to - so let me know if you enter as I'd love to join you! Sometimes things go well and this was one of those days. The weather, the people, the navigation, but mainly my fuelling allowed me to enjoy the race and the views!
@@CotswoldTrailRunner that would be epic. It was a masterclass in racing! Top job buddy! 😎🤘🏻
Great running Francois, not an easy race at all with that elevation and those technical bits. Very varied route to keep it interesting over those miles!
Thanks very much. It's worth considering for sure. It had everything which was nice and I was lucky with the weather.
Just discovered your channel and subscribed, genuinely impressed with the quality! Good work!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate your comment and support. It means a lot. Stay tuned! 👍
Excellent video. Great footage. Well done on completing it.
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Really great video that brought back memories of the day. Unfortunately, my race was curtailed by a hamstring strain on the Wansfell descent so 12:30 target ended up 14:47 but finished in the daylight and already entered for next year! Well done on your time!!
Thanks so much and well done to you for pushing on and getting it done! I'm tempted to enter again for next year as well!
Congratulations on your race! I’ve looked at this one and wondered if I could do it but reckon I will push myself to have a go! 🏃🏻♀️🙌🙌
Do it! It's great fun and everyone is so friendly. It's also a very nice route, just train some hills beforehand! 😉. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Looks like a fab route!
Many thanks! It really is!
Fantastic video, I’m doing this race for the first time next May! Hopefully see you there
Thanks so much! You'll love it! Amazing directions and signage and the volunteers are brilliant! Take your time with the climbs and enjoy the views! Best of luck, I'm tempted to return next year again!
Great watch, and hope my brothers AC/DC back in black helped you up to high dam 😉
Thanks! It certainly did, although I couldn't keep up with him to hear what track was next! 😂
Amazing 😍.... Superb 👏...
Thanks a lot 😊
Great video! Also noticed you're rocking some Ben Parkes kit!
You know it! Great kit, and until I have my own, his will always be welcome! I just need some more now!
Well done, cracking time. 👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support. Did you run it? I'm tempted by the anti-clockwise now as well!
@@CotswoldTrailRunner I've booked the clockwise run for May 2023. I'm looking forward to it!
You'll love it! Train the hills and you'll be fine! Best of luck, I may see you there!
@@CotswoldTrailRunner deffo. Just completed the Howgills marathon, I run over my local moors/hills regularly. This will be my first big Ultra. I'm hoping to get a few 50k runs in before next May.
@@northender2006 Great work. Sounds like you're on the right path to your first big ultra. Enjoy the training!
Great video!! Good job on the Ultra!
Come to Austria for a race some day :))
Thanks for watching! I'd love to do an ultra in Austria! Any recommendations? 👍
@@CotswoldTrailRunner There are a few! Just posted a 50k on my channel. That one was nice! But a lot of vertical. There is also the Mozart 100 which is pretty popular.
@@chris.schmied Cool, will check it out. Thanks!
Not lake Windermere in thumb nail pic 😮
This one has lots of different terrains.
Great video just the issue with sound , music to loud to voice have to adjust continuously or maybe just my TV
Otherwise great content 👍👍
Thanks for watching! I will take a look but edited it with headphones so maybe it comes across differently on TV. Glad you enjoy it.
How can you hold the camera that long?
It’s a small GoPro which easily stores in my running pack. 👍
Walked it took me 22hrs 15 minutes 🥴
Amazing, well done indeed! It doesn't matter how you did it, you did it! I bet you managed to enjoy the views more than I. Thanks for watching.
