    Challenge idea - do a 10K handicap race - take each of your 10K times from the earlier episode, pick a route then set of based on your own times slowest runner first fastest runner leaving last so in theory you will all finish at the exactly the same second - winner is first to finish. Can the quickest runner catch the others or will they stay ahead?

    A suggestion for the next series is all about endurance. Who runs the furthest between sunrise and sunset. Take as many breaks as you like, but the more you take, the less you’d be able to run.

Mad respect for you guys not only doing it, but remembering anything resembling a script while running. I’d love it if you guys would do a video on such a thing as it’s a respectable talent to have. Great job guys!

    Congratulations to all! So proud of Kate who showed a lot of heart and conquered. Nice work all. In WNC almost all of our runs 5K or longer involve close to 1000' of vertical change unless you go to the track. Mounds of opportunity I heard someone say once. It's always fun to watch racers come to our events from Charlotte or Atlanta and come to grips with running in the lovely mountains.

She's always being funny and creative and coming up with great comments and positive self talk to get her through the run or challenge. Really enjoy all of you, but if I had to spend an hour running hills, I'd have the best time doing that with Anna! Keep up the great work everyone. Your videos are fantastic.

    Congrats to Andy for winning the series and to Kate for winning the elevation. Next challenge: Everybody has an hour time to cover as many landmarks as possible of their hometowns. Every landmark has to be filmed and you need to say why it is special. Show why your hometown is worth a visit, especially, if you are a running tourist. There can be two ways of gaining points: quantity (number of landmarks covered) and quality (a rating who presented their hometown best). Maybe runners from all over the world will want to run in your place afterwards, if they spend their holidays in the UK.

    Congratulations to Kate! I didn't expect Kate to gain this much elevation on the treadmill. Genius idea! However, each of you suffered so much. I would def not have chosen the stairs; these are always cruel and unusual punishment. Considering that extra punishment, excellent performance, Andy!
    Rick, I am crying a bucket of croc tears for you. Your choice of hills sounded a truly tragic. Surely no worse than the Andy's staircase or Kate's treadmill torture.
    Anna, you gotta try harder. You didn't suffer enough. 238m elevation is nothing. It's a bump on a pancake! However, I have not lost hope in you, Anna. You will rise to the next challenge, because you are strong!

    I loved the challenge, but I think the results were determined as soon as the routes were set. Kate was the only one who spent 100% of her time increasing vert (and treadmills can max, what? 15% incline?). Andy had a great idea using stairs (per UK building code, incline for stairs could max around 75%, though what he was on was probably closer to 50%), but he had to spend half of his distance just resetting - he likely only climbed about 60-70% of his total time. Anna and Rick had it the worst, as roads very seldom exceed a 25% incline, and, like Andy, they spend half the distance running back downhill to reset their ability to gain vert.
    Still, top notch effort by all four of you.

    Uphill vs downhill challenge. Location: the steepest hill. Team Anna and Rick runs downhill and team Kate and Andy runs uphill. Total uphill/downhill length (not elevation) is 2 km. Anna and Rick may walk, or take a cab, back to the top after each leg. Kate and Andy must run down the hill in the same time as their last uphill time. Only uphill/downhill is counted in the results.

Rick is only slightly faster than me for 10k, I can do 5k from my front door up on to the local moor with about 300m gain in about 35 minutes and that’s a serious climb so I thought he might come up short of his number! If I was going to do this challenge I’d pick one of the steeper sections of that route (15-20% gradient) and do repeats on it

    As a Sunderland man I'd love to see either Steve Cram or Aly Dixon take on a challenge.

    What criterion was followed to decide the different time handicap, BMI, height, a combination of the two?

      I think it’s mostly their normal 10k times- since Kate/Andy can cover much more distance/elevation in a shorter time than Anna/Rick!

    You guys should do a 5k estimating challenge: without checking your gear or planning a route, who can run closest to 5km?

      Hmmm this is a great suggestion! Who can use intuition to get closest to the distance...
