I think you should add your "Average Joe" runner into the series just to put things into perspective.
You should do running channel viewers vs the running channel 😂
You guys should do a crossover with the Global Triathlon Network team
Would absolutely love that!!
Yes, great idea!
Yes that would be brilliant to watch
Omg yes
Great idea!
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?
Yes!
I knew Kate would win this, a straight climb for 38 minutes was always going to be tough as there's no recovery inbetween. A great challenge, I enjoyed that.
Ben Parkes, Sarah Place, Flora Berverly, FOD Runner, Welsh runner, Kellogs on the Run, Kofuzi
EDD BUD also.
Ben Parkes great shout.
Nice tactics Kate, continuous steady elevation gain with no time wasted with going back downhill.
Aw, shame the challenge series is over. Look forward to the second series! Was great to watch :)
You gotta get Mo Farah to do a challenge with you guys, would be awesome!
I really admire all the presenters to run and hold their go pros/cameras at the same time. It is not easy on the arms for the distance they are running.
Thanks Lax!
I have a sneaking suspicion they don't hold the cameras at arms length for the entire run...
1.The Run Experience vs The Running Channel: Virtual 5k followed by a 10 mile race. Lowest (best) combined time wins
2.GTN vs The Running Channel: Relay race along the River Thames (that my be more than one can chew!!)
3. Kofuzi, Ben Parkes, Sarah Place, Flora Beverly vs The Running Channel: Virtual 10k. Lowest (best) combined time wins.
Yes, TRE & GTN crossover!! Like the idea of landmark challenges.
Rick: It's weighing me down, it's really weighing me down
Everyone: Hahaha!
I think my truck keys gain weight on runs also. Totally get it.
Kate should have gotten extra extra points just for spending that much time on a treadmill. I love hills but absolutely, 100% loathe the treadmill. Way to go Kate!
Thanks Wendy!
@@runningchannel I once did 32 kms on a treadmill at 1% - so a 320 metre elevation gain.
Way to go Kate!!!! Treadmill running is torture !!!
This is official now : Kate is the only clever one of the bunch. Sorry Rick Andy and Anna
Surprised the other three didn't realise that a very long uphill was the only practical solution!
If they all ran on a treadmill would have been fair but would have been a boring video.
I recently purchased a GoPro Hero 9. You know what’s friggin’ difficult? Talking to a GoPro while running - my mind goes naturally blank. 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!
Thank you so much!
We are always so impressed by all at TRC running with the camera. Agreed.
This was a great series!
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.
I would like to see some kind of sprint challenge -- 100, 200, or 400 meters or an agility test. I feel like way too many runners completely overlook fast start, absolute speed, and definitely change of direction.
Would love to see any of the many amazing women ultrarunners from around the world! Courtney Dauwalter in particular 😉
Courtney !!!!
Surely with something like this you should have tried to minimise the time wasted running downhill. I would have just gone to a mountain or fell that took over my 10km to climb.
Henry Cavill! He's just finished training for his Zoo ambassador race! Challenge is trivia 10k. Give the team and Henry a question each km, add 3minutes for each wrong answer!
Great suggestion Dylan!
Thats epic
Ben Parkes, Sarah Place or Sophie Coldwell and Tom Evans (ultramarathoner runner!)
All fab suggestions!
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.
Wow! You would probably ace this challenge then Kevin haha!
Cannot wait for series 2 - Autumn Winter edition :D . Would love to see Anna, Rick, Kate and Andy be mentors for people who are new to running and train them to compete in challenges. Would be great too see someone's journey who goes from never running to an enthusiast. Running channel rocks!
Great suggestion, thanks!
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.
Great challenge. Impressed by everyone. Congratulations Kate on the strategy
Thanks Justine! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very happy that Kate won!
Kate's commentary during her run was absolutely hysterical (and oh so relatable) 😵
Anna may have lost the challenge series but she's my top pick for who I'd like to run with. 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.
Thanks Brett!
This series was so good, looking forward to the next chapter, you are all such amazing runners who genuinely enjoy what you do. That’s all the motivation I ever need to lace up and have a go. 💕❤️👏
Thank you so much!!
Love your videos! Especially this series:)
Would love to see Jenny Falconer on this channel doing a challenge as the run pod podcast is one of my faves and think she’ll be good competition👍
Thanks Catherine and this is a great shout! We've run with Jenni before - you can watch that video here: ruclips.net/video/ioJSsreXPvA/видео.html
Aww, Rick. I used to do hill repeats up Ally Pally a few years ago before I moved. I could have told you that was a *really* bad idea 🤣
Can you make a video with every runner across the world (that you hope to recruit in the challenge and all walks of life) saying a word or a phrase and put them all together to make one poem or song or speech. We need something inspirational soon! Thank you for all your videos too!
Great suggestion Josie! Have you checked out our previous motivational videos? ruclips.net/video/IghuHZd9XgE/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/SIWNDqsQOjk/видео.html
andy looked like he was having a lovely sunday walk, no sweat lol,, good try all
I agree it should be illegal for a runner to hog up all of the ability. Fun to watch though.
hi, how about sonia o sullivan,its 20 years this september since she won her olympic silver, maybe some sort of a handicap 5 km race taking into account best times but also age
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.
Well done to all of you. Really enjoyed the series, and looking forward to the next one! How about some kind of age-graded challenge?
Thanks Arron - great suggestion!
Love the challenge videos. Can’t wait for season 2.
Well done all. That looked fiercely difficult!
I would love to see you guys do a beer mile challenge
Thanks Simon! We've done it! ruclips.net/video/07BeQImqWwc/видео.html
@@runningchannel well now I feel stupid lol. Can't believe I missed that one.
@@simonbennett455 me too! Off I go to watch it! Lol
Congratulations to all of you!
I would love to see you all go up against Courtney Dauwalter. She's such a lovely person and an amazing athlete!
I think you need to challenge Ben Parkes!
Ben parkes should get involved in this
Running Channel Rules! At this rate, soon you'll be at 1 million subscribers!!
That would be AWESOME!
@@runningchannel It defintley would!!
@@runningchannel and much deserved.
Loved this challenge - it was brutal, so well done ladies and gents.
For me, Anna is the winner!
Great challenge! Have really enjoyed the series and think it’s likely one of the most entertaining segments you all do! Keep the humor regardless of who you bring in!
Need a US runner? Reach out to Seth James DeMoor who has a good sense of humor and a really large RUclips following.
Literally LOLed at "RUNDAR" 5:51
One of our favourites too 😂
Looking forward to series 2!
This is sooo inspiring before my race in a few weeks with 11.8k trail and 670+ meters of elevation...lvoely ♥

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.
Thanks for watching Jeff!
Absolutely loved this series of challenges! Very excited about Challenge Accepted 2.0!
Thanks!!
What a fun challenge! Although I knew from the start that Kate was going to win...running on a treadmill is really no fair, because she never had to use time going back down! Everyone else used half of their distance or so going back to the bottom of the hills/stairs, while Kate was going uphill nonstop! Smart thinking, Kate!
Thanks for watching Max!
How about Sarah Place, Ben Parkes and Flora Beverley? That would be awesome to see you guys go head to head.
Great series!
Future challenge idea...Negative Split Challenge. Who can run the furthest while running a faster and faster k/mile? 1st k/mile can be no slower than your 5k pace +2 minutes. No rest between laps. The twist...you can only check the pace on your watch for the first k/mile!
Geomagnetic anomaly affecting the GPS was my first thought :-) Well done to Anna!
Great series of challenges. Well done Kate for grinding it out on the treadmill.
When the restrictions are over be good to see you all attempt the Red Bull 400 challenge
Great suggestion, thanks!
Fastest 10K wearing a costume? I think I need to flesh that out a bit. Possibly in a mascot costume of some sort.
Nice one!
Well done to you all really great runs 👍👏😉
You guys are the most enjoyable thing to watch on RUclips!
Thank you!!
Rick: I think I can do 1500m in 53 min.
Me: That’s a mountain
😂😂😂
Ikr! Ben Nevis is a bit shy of 1500m and I think the record ascent is over an hour
Mounds of opportunity.
I did think his estimate seemed optimistic! 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
Much respect to the challengers, this looks tough🙏
Welcome to my World. I live in a mountain valley and every run is a hill challenge (LOL). World class triathletes like to train here and one of their favorite training runs is a place called Blackett's ridge with a 530 meter elevation gain in about 5K distance. Par is considered to be 30 minutes (although I take considerably longer).
Wow, sounds tough!
I would love to see Sophie Raworth from the BBC do a challenge.
Nice!
Love you guys! Such a laugh and so inspiring as well. So many funny comments. How about doing a 10k relay against 4 celebs with similar 10k PBs. The winner is the team that runs the 40k fastest.
Great idea Mark!
Jenny Falconer
Kate outsmarted everyone. She demonstrated outstanding physical endurance for sure, but she was also the only one who was gaining elevation with every step. Everyone else had to spend precious time going back down. Great challenge! And congrats to Kate!!!
Thanks for watching Greg!
I reckon you should get a whole bunch of triathletes in and pit them against runners! Both sets of athletes are incredibly tough and are absolutely incredible runners! A bit of healthy competition can only be beneficial!
Great suggestion, thanks!
I haven't finished the video yet, but Kate should win as she is the only one that isn't counteracting the elevation gained by going back down the same hill or set of stairs.
She isn’t gaining any elevation either, tho.
Love the video, (Running Channel)
Would love to see a team relay,
One single flight of stairs up and down, man!
Really enjoyed these challenges. I would love to see you invite Bit Beefy/Coach Cory Wharton-Malcolm of Track Mafia and have a challenge involving running and a household objects relay.
Great suggestion, thanks!
That's a greatest challenge that I ever watched
Thanks Tejion!
@@runningchannel You're Welcome Mate
You guys performed well despite being in the UK! Great job!
On a personal experience, I live in Switzerland, and it does help a lot. The other day, I ran 4 km and went from 400m above the sea level up to 1050m. That was absolutely horrendous!
Ouch that sounds tough!
Great effort everyone
You guys should have a crack at the killer mile, Mow Cop, Staffordshire. See how many you can do before you throw in the towel!
Great suggestion Timothy - thank you!
SUCH a good video! Well done to you all!
Another challenge: marathon ride and run...with a partner and 1 bicycle...u and your partner complete 26 mi total alternating between running and riding...u can break up the running and riding any way u want but each partner must ride 13 mi and run 13 mi
Yep have a play with GTN
Me! And a few of my training friends would be honored to take on the Running Channel gang! The challenge will be from the tri training handbook...either fastest 5k after a swim and bike or fastest cumulative 8k split by a bike ride!
Do a challenge with GTN team
I’m a massive fan of Ali Feller from Ali on the Run! Would love to see her on the running channel in one form or another !
Hehehe! Elevation is torture but a lot of bang for your effort. Good job!
Awesome series, would be great to see what tinman elite or the athlete special would make of this, either way keep up the great content.
Thanks! Will do!
I was getting tired just watching this video alone 😂 All you guys smashed this challenge!!! Get some well needed rest after this haha
Thanks so much Kayleen :-)
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!
You should get Harry Runs on as one of the 'all stars'. He finished strong at the UTMB last year and he seems like such a nice guy!
We love the running channel. (# kate carter). WE VOTE KATE!
Yay!!!! Go Rosalie
Ok runners for the next set of challenges. The legend Anna McNuff ( if she is available post bump), Vloger Ben Parks, Vassos Alexander
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...
Pro that you all need to get for a challange!!
Kofuzi
Can't believe none of you thought of running to the nearest airport for this challenge :P
How about a MAF challenge to test your true aerobic fitness against The Plant Powered Runner and The Running Duck Effect?
Can you do a 5K race while wearing flippers and turned into a boys vs girls relay challenge
A flipper relay... definitely sounds like a challenge!
Who wants to see a three legged race with flippers
@@runningchannel sounds like a broken leg. 😁
Would like to see a challenge with Paula Radcliffe
Flora Beverly, Sarah Place, and Trail Running Wales! Claire (Wild Ginger Running) is pregnant, but she'd be perfect too! They're awesome and somewhat local to you.
Motivation Theory Running, UltraTrailSteven, Goku Runner, & Vivsvibe are in the US and would be great. All I've listed are ultra runners who like challenges. And of course your American counterparts, The Run Experience!
Great suggestions, thanks!
Congratulations to Kate for winning this challenge. Great tactic to run up hill for the entire run but brutal.
Also, congrats to Andy for the series win.
And Rick, it was definately the weight of your keys and phone that cost you the win 🤔
And good effort Anna.
Enjoyed watching the series folks 👍
Thanks so much for watching and glad you enjoyed it!
The gps can be wrong.. I think the treadmill is cheating just saying 😀 I would say Andy should have won!!
Respect for the suffering Kate endured, but she didn’t gain any elevation. 🤔
@@belindahammond1679 maybe in a sense but treadmills are a death sentence. Just saying.
Nah, people 99% of the time think that a hill gains so much more elevation than it actually does.
I dont think the treadmill is cheating. They didn't say it had to be on hills or stairs. I think Kate won fair.
@@krystlepederson6669 they said most elevation. Correct me if I am wrong but Kate literally stayed ar the same elevation the entire time.
