Great video MARM , looked like a good race for a PB. Love the warm up😂. I think you should introduce it at your local park run, have a word with the race director I’m sure people would join in especially Margaret 😂👍🏻👍🏻🏃♂️💨💨💨
"Runthroughs Ronnie The Roadrunner" is slightly different to a pigeon...🤔😆😂 Great video MARM, and thanks for the opportunity for me to do the "MARMS WARM-UP"! Such a laugh..🤣😆🤣 Top Running again MARM👏👌 Great Time..👍👍
Tell your mates Ted. By the way, your RUclips handle is a belter. If I had my time over, I would strongly consider using the word “off-road”. (And probably Ted)
I'd like to give you some advice like try running every other day with one rep sesh - over/under goal pace. But your running nearly a minute a mile quicker than me 🥲, Maybe your onto something! 🤣 (I'm 54)
"What are ya? A pigeon?" should now be the first question to any mascot regardless of appearance or resemblance! Fairly certain I did a track day at Prestwold about 10 years ago? I'm also doing Coventry so would be great to meet you if I get chance? Good luck for your other races #marmyarmy
Interested in the hamstring/glute (arse) feedback. I did mine late last year in a cross country event and not been the same since. You nearly smiled when crossing the finish 😁 ha ha Nice video, very similar course to my parkrun. Being an airfield and perfectly flat and open to the weather.
I came back to this video to see if I've missed the Ironbridge being on the list, but it's not there :) Shall we expect a video titled "I did a secret half marathon and this is what happened to my white trainers"? :D
0 seconds ago Good effort. Blimey you had better weather than we did in the beautiful south last Sunday! I’ve done the Run Through marathon at Goodwood twice. That’s 11 laps of a motor circuit! Race Check would explode 😂
Great video, MARM. Is previous years this race has started and finished on the grounds of Prestwold Hall, which is far more picturesque than the race track 🤣. As for the training. You need to download a training plan for your marathon, it will make a huge difference to your finish time, as long as you can commit the time to it during the week. Ben Parkes or Nick Bester sell plans for around £6 each.
Great video, if you need your injury sorting out my mate once told me there is postcards in telephone box's in London from lovely ladies who do a lovely service 😉😏
I did this half last year and didn’t really enjoy it, plus I ran injured. Not one I would go back to. Great video as usual though. Ps I did Cambridge Half on Sunday which was fab and beautiful to run around with amazing support. Also very flat and I knocked 6 mins off my PB. I would pre register your interest for 2025 if you are interested as it sells out fast.
Best advice i've ever had is gradually increase your weekly mileage by 10% to a minimum of 30miles with a mix of distances & paces (speed suprisingly doesnt matter it's time on feet) plus some reps occasionally. I like to do reps by hunting for Strava segments (might make a good vlog?).
Pigeon ??? 😂 Sometimes I do question my life choices as I majestically juggle the responsibilities of being the Grand High Overlord of the AMSSG and trying to keep my frau indoors happy. PS Awesome pace well done fella ..Gute Nacht 👍
Its a bit disconcerting when a fella from Walsall says "its a bit of a dump " 😂😂 Pot and kettle 😁 Broadway is still the roughest area you have run through ☠️
Fair enough. I can't make the Coventry one this time round as it's the Wolf Run weekend, but I will come to cheer you on at mile 4. What should I write on the poster to boost your self esteem? :D
The one handed drivers drove me nuts until I bought an automatic and now all I do is hold the steering wheel with my left hand and to stop me thinking I need to change gear.... (I've only once hit the clutch to change gear ... which is your break in an automatic) never again)..... so I either sit on it / or its out the window 😅😂
Yes seems a popular one so managed to jump on it today as well looking forward to it! Might see you there or at Brueton Park run when its not 90% underwater@@middleagedrunningman
Top running - massive talent considering you must have to train carrying a monkey wrench. Was this a secret Merch reveal with that T? Slippery slope MARM 😮
@@middleagedrunningman The coaches at my club are insistent that folk train too fast as well as my 81 year old friend that did a 45 minute 10k a few weeks ago, he’s mad for 80/20.

Great Time..👍👍
Hard act to follow Pete. Thanks for your support mate. And a decent run yourself. We ate up that racetrack.
@middleagedrunningman In the voice of Jeremy Clarkson "Just call me The Stig... Stig of the Dump!"..😆🤣😆🤣
Classic. Loved Stig.
Loved the “ Warm up “ and “ Pigeon “ - hope Jack was not disappointed with his Dads time.
I don’t think he could have been Hearty. Pete performed admirably on all counts.
CT: 01:40:14.. 👍 Jack said it was close enough.. 🙈😆🤣
Only recently found your channel and I love it! Brilliant content, keep up the good work! 👍🏼
Tell your mates Ted.

😂 I have a few running videos on RUclips myself but there not a patch on yours! 👍🏼
Will search you up Mr Offroad.
😃👍🏼
I have the same. A tear in my hamstring (8 cm). Hurts like hell and takes ages to heal
Rest only known cure….
Class 👍🏃🏻♂️
Thanks David. Quite liked this course!
Brilliant time again Tim. Can't give you much advice on running only to keep going with the vlogs!! Great stuff 👏👏👏👏
Thanks Deano! Think I might need all the advice I can get though.
I'd like to give you some advice like try running every other day with one rep sesh - over/under goal pace. But your running nearly a minute a mile quicker than me 🥲, Maybe your onto something! 🤣 (I'm 54)
Stu - only a fool refuses advice. Will genuinely look into it.
All about improvement on MARM….

“Alex” (T-Rex) will ask that question to every mascot now.
See you at Coventry. Fancy doing my warm up?
@@middleagedrunningman haha why the hell not? Will have to practice my dancing. Its a bit above my ability

Feel your pain John. Certainly feeling it every race…. But I don’t test it or do anything differently either!!! (Moron)
Well done out there, prestwold is a tough course, that’s for sure, cracking video yet again 🎉🎉
Thanks Ryan / Hayley. See you soon. Two Castles Run this year??
@@middleagedrunningmanyeah we are both entered for that 🙌🎉

Booked last minute last week Tom.
Droitwich got cancelled so did it on a whim.
Struggle for content ideas!!
Well done MARM... Welcome to my home county, glad you enjoyed the race😊👍
Great county Lazy Jay. Loved it.

Race Check certainly wouldn’t be a fan. To be fair, clear and crisp - but windy….

Thanks mate. Wasn’t a bad race to be fair. Will look into these training plans…. If you always do what you’ve always done….
I'm desperate to be a marmer and do the warm up at cov half. I've been practicing and everything 😂😂
Overdue a meeting Stu. More the merrier. Won’t be happy until 50 of us are doing that bloody warm up. If not, will see you for a warm down!!
Impressive running 🙂 I ran the event as well thoroughly enjoyed it
Wasn’t too bad was it?? I’d heard it was a shocker. Race track wasn’t too tedious.
Great video, if you need your injury sorting out my mate once told me there is postcards in telephone box's in London from lovely ladies who do a lovely service 😉😏
Simon…..revolting man. Tell “your mate” he’s a wrong un.

@@middleagedrunningman you won’t be disappointed. I have Oundle 20 to do this Sunday as part of my marathon training! A bit different to Cambridge.
@jonathanwake2964 Oundle 20?? New one on me!!

Great shout JC.
(Apart from the 30mile minimum…)
I know you are right!!

Someone has to do it Davey. Not everyone can carry the weight of responsibility that would burden a lesser MARMER.
@@middleagedrunningman 😆👍
Another great time and video well done 👏🏻
Thanks as ever Andy!! Didn’t feel very fast at the time…
Its a bit disconcerting when a fella from Walsall says "its a bit of a dump " 😂😂 Pot and kettle 😁
Broadway is still the roughest area you have run through ☠️
I agree Jim.
There are gangster rappers who feel uneasy around that manor.
Sincerely hope your bum is feeling better soon ❤
It’s still not right Mack…. Tweaked cheek.
Good race Marm! It's nice to see your plans to run in Coventry again. No Shakespeare this time?
Yep - all signed up for Shakey. Full marathon this year…..
Oh, I saw Stratford and didn't realise it's the same thing! Silly me.
How come you're doing the full marathon again? You didn't like the previous one :) Are you ready for the 2nd lap now? :D
Ready for it this year…. (I’m not)
Setting myself little challenges…. If nothing else, should make for a decent video!!
Fair enough. I can't make the Coventry one this time round as it's the Wolf Run weekend, but I will come to cheer you on at mile 4. What should I write on the poster to boost your self esteem? :D

One handed, two spoons.
Strong performance! Any interest in the 2 castles 10k?
Booked it this very afternoon Paul!! You doing it?
Yes seems a popular one so managed to jump on it today as well looking forward to it! Might see you there or at Brueton Park run when its not 90% underwater@@middleagedrunningman
Yes - deffo see you there.
Fancy being my “Meet the MARMER?”
Pete leaves some big runners to fill.
Well up for it, I shall practice my warmup routine post haste@@middleagedrunningman
Get in the dance studio Paul.
Pete has raised the bar….
Half marathon looked better. 10k is just the air field and it’s soulless. Well done MARM 👏🏻👏🏻
Yep. Wouldn’t fancy a 10k on that airfield…..Not much to keep the mind occupied. (Other than Luther Vandross)
Top running - massive talent considering you must have to train carrying a monkey wrench.
Was this a secret Merch reveal with that T? Slippery slope MARM 😮
Would love some merch!!! Think a long way off….
Won’t lie, would love to run without the camera one day!!
Walsall 😂.
👍😆🤣😆👍
It’s a beautiful place.
@@middleagedrunningman 😆🤣😆
I see you have the Roger Bannister era ethos that training is cheating your opponents and you should just turn up and race :-😂
I’m very honourable with my training John. Cheats never prosper.
(Or pull hamstrings)
You can't dress up nothing marm, but your event endorsement deserved a free spin I feel
That’s what I thought.
“Nothin.”
Brutal.
Get to a physio and start doing 80/20 or you’ll stay on that plateau.
Probably right sadly Alastair….

Loving the sound of that speedy geriatric.
What's that plastic bag covering you all about? It's not raining or cold by the looks of it
My Robin Hood poncho?? Makes everything look warm Mark. Get yourself on Amazon.
