Never heard of Ernest Marples before seeing this. Worth a look at the controversies surrounding him on wikipedia. When he said the police might think to chase him, he wasn't far wrong for various reasons. It's often the names that come up in these films that are more interesting than than the subject.
Jim Fixx was one of millions of Americans who started running in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Unlike other runners, however, Fixx wrote a best-selling book about running and, ironically, died of a heart attack at the age of 52 years while running.

When I was at school this kind of motion - half way between walking and running -was called trotting.🤔But somehow telling someone "I'm just going for a trot dear' cungers up a different kind of pictire.😝
Well yes but I'm pretty sure the 'Olympic Games Coach' he mentions is New Zealander Arthur Lydiard, who was the original proselytiser of jogging for lifelong health, used to advocate for jogging and walking in combination, and had the 'train, don't strain' catchphrase. He sold US coach Bill Bowerman on the benefits of jogging for health and it was Bowerman who took that message to the USA.
If you read the Wikipedia on jogging (which this video prompted me to do), you can see that people have long been jogging. The American 'import' here is the specific regimen rather than the activity itself.
Long-distance running overall is the oldest sport there is. The earliest humans (men and women) were persistence hunters, with the average hunt to take down a deer/antelope being 8 hours. It's something very special about humans that our stamina is actually one of the best in the animal kingdom. Countries like Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda are still have the best results/highest medal scorers in long distance because the original running culture never really died there. I imagine America formalised the sport and training regimen, which is how it trickled along to many western countries. Could be wrong though!
@TheFlargleblargle East Africans didn't really have a tradition of long distance running. It developed in the 1960s. The runners mostly come from pastoral cultures rather than the few hunter-gathering cultures in East Africa that track game over long distances.
I think that before the 1970's anyone doing fitness activities would only be doing it if they were amateur athletes, and would go to a particular place to do it ie; a running track. People wouldn't be seen 'doing it out in the open' ! Many people just wouldn't be doing activity just for keeping fit. My brothers did cycling from the early 70's, but i can't recall seeing someone running in the street when i was younger, maybe in a park ? ( i live in Hull !)
I assume the Olympic coach is Bill Bowerman as he wrote a books on Jogging in the 60s as well as being a co-founder of Nike. But he learned the method from Arthur Lydiard - the New Zealander who coached Peter Snell to Olympic gold and sent runners out for daily runs with the "train don't strain" mantra.
@samlewis4948 Change "tax fraud" for "s*x with children" and it would be your classic Labour. But to be fair, Labour MPs would never be prosecuted for that, as very recent events show
Wonder when half the Labour front bench are going to do a runner? Oh wait they won’t, because they are the establishment. The left used to be against the establishment and for the working classes. Not anymore!
'fun' fact: the 'inventor' of jogging died because of jogging. daily jogging is bad for your back. he died during a surgery on his back. at least that's what I once heard...
You're probably referring to Jim Fixx who popularised jogging with his book The Complete Book of Running in the 1970s. He died from a heart attack while out jogging but had a hereditary heart condition and had smoked for many years before taking up running.
Next week, we learn about the new trend of "Walking"
Walking would be something new to most people nowadays.
@@ronwhite8503 how?

Yes indeed. What was he running away from is the question. Tax certainly helped his jogging.
Thoroughly revolting individual, but pretty much standard fare for politicians on the gravy train.
He's the real reason we've got no railways left
Oh he was a controversial MP. 👍🏼😉
he was dead within 11 years of this
I can’t get enough of this video. It’s like a Harry Enfield comedy sketch. The way the tall guy runs is priceless. I want a Time Machine
"Mmmmhh..." "Really beginning to puff...now..."
Ernest Marples is such a name of its era.
Another Monty Python skit that didn't quite make the grade. The reporter here is actually John Cleese's stunt double.
Bob Welling's,, I think.
I was going to say he actually sounds quite a bit like Michael Palin.
it's fascinating watching all these new things be introduced into England over the years
It'll never catch on
That was really funny! The 'J's on the trees, and the interviewers running style killed me. 😀
Love this. Before exercise became an industry.
Yeah it's much better now.
Well because people actually worked back then instead of sitting infront of a computer 18 hours a day
a touch of alan partridge about this reporter
Could be a Monty python sketch at the beginning 😂
Love this clip of the Old Nationwide team
Well this video, has inadvertently sent me down a rabbit hole of various controversies involving Ernest Marples.
Same, he seemed like a decent bloke until you read about what he did
I thought this was a Monty Python sketch. Didn’t realise jogging was “invented”
This wasn't the only method he had to get his pulse racing.... Wikipedia
Whip crack away, whip crack away! 😂
What a bounder 😊
Actual footage of me talking at my non sporty friends
Wireless mic and sound production quality - impressive.
It might have been tape recorded and dubbed in later

Wasn't that a Denis Leary joke? Who knows where he stole it from though.
@peybak What do you mean, joke? That was a real guy.
@@peybak He stole it from his usual target, the great Bill Hicks.
@@therespectedlex9794 His story was used for comic effect to imply exercise will kill you! 🙂
Blame all the cigars he smoked.
Monty Python would be proud of this
I have to say, his form is excellent
Nationwide spent all their money on the Jogging track suit but none on any trainers!
Two competitive men turning jogging in to a classic beasting session 🤣
I used to hate cross-country running at my old grammar school and when we played football it was like that scene from Kes.
The originator of the craze was an American Jim Fixx. He passed away of a heart attack aged just 52 ............. whilst out a jog
It’ll never catch on.
Brilliant
I know it's a bit late in the day of the life of the Pythons being '71 but they had plenty of material to work with and be inspired by!

Wow, jogging an American import.. I never knew that!

Ironic how a man who did more to get people into cars than anybody, was into keeping fit
I was thinking the same thing.
Love cars!
Scientific, you say? I might give this "jogging" a try.
Well he died 7 years after this at age 70.
At 4'36" that looked faster than a jog - anyone else agree?
I believe it's pronounced yogging
Jog On
"Don't strain, just train". I give it 30 seconds before some fitness influencer starts doing this claiming it's the next new thing.
What the hell?
Yep, a very different world and not that long ago.
55 mil....55 yards pmsl

Yes, very scientific…
juggin'
Check out Pathe if you like this old stuff
These days, we have the Boris to represent jogging for the political class
Can’t see Ted Heath going for a jog. He got pretty fat when he was PM. Might have helped clear his mind during the 3 day week
Too busy noncing..
He jogged on his yacht.
@@vanderark89 Horizontal jogging with little boys on his yacht.
Sadly the distinction between running and jogging has been lost
Wait a sec this is zone 2 training or 80/20 rule no? 😂
Even all them years ago there, coaches were promoting 'science based' exercises ffs 😅
Oh my, didn't Ernest have an interesting life in the years after this film. Obviously the jogging left in in good stead for his future endeavors....
Jogging?
It's called Wild Running.
😅
What
"In later life, Marples was elevated to the peerage before fleeing to Monaco at very short notice to avoid prosecution for tax fraud." Classic Tory
@samlewis4948 Change "tax fraud" for "s*x with children" and it would be your classic Labour.
But to be fair, Labour MPs would never be prosecuted for that, as very recent events show
Where's Tulip going to flee to?

Earnest Marples was about 63 here, and lived for another 7 years after this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Marples
England when it was still charming
On the surface but abuse was rife in many ways
Yet people say it was petty and draconian.
Oh don’t be ridiculous.
😨
🤔
And remember, jogging is invented by sport shoes companies to sell more sport shoes.
Simpler times
'fun' fact:
the 'inventor' of jogging died because of jogging.
daily jogging is bad for your back. he died during a surgery on his back.
at least that's what I once heard...
If he died during a surgery that's just unlucky, the surgery killed him
@@bardo0007 *jogging killed him, yes.

@@hughgurney8686 hmm, I don't think so. I distinctly remember him dying during back surgery 🤔... I think 😛
terrible for your joints, terrible for your face. all that gravity, multiplied.
just walk faster.
Man before London became londinistan
Off to GB News with ya, you sad old racist.
If only they’d banned this!
It says broadcast June 5, the day before my 14th birthday, but that was a Saturday and iirc Nationwide wasn’t on on Saturdays. I suspect an AI fake.
It will never catch on
The worst import. People wore nice clothes and walked before this blight.
