Hello! I’m a full time working dad that likes running 🙌 occasionally I film them too! I’m a proud JogOn Ambassador too 🧡 Whilst I’m lucky enough to have over 1,000 subscribers, I’m not in the RU-vid Partner programme and don’t intend to monetise this channel. It’s just for fun ☺️
I love getting in and seeing there's a new 30SomethingMike race video! The production quality of your videos gets better and better - this is really top drawer content; typography, graphics, story - a very classy documentary experience. Keep them coming!
Richard thank you, that’s really kind. I’ve been trying to learn about video editing and aiming to make each video better quality, so I’m glad it comes across 👍 thanks for watching and all the best
Great run! Currently only done half marathons. Aiming for a spring marathon in 2025 how the hell do people even make the step up to these kind of ultra runs?
Cheers Ben 🙌 good luck with your marathon goals. I do ultras mostly for the food and the walking 😂 half marathons are a very different challenge because you have to keep running the whole time! All the best
That was brilliant. You told a great story. We're up there soon and will check out some of those sites. One question. How do you know what snot tastes like anyway? 😂
Well done Mike and a sub 15 to boot! I ran with you briefly between Walltown and The Sill, I pop up a couple of times on the video. I managed to get over the line in 13:14:47! Again, well done!
Hi Neal - I remember, thanks for your tips and route guidance! Well done, that’s an epic time. I dropped off your pace after the Sill. Cheers for watching and I hope the recovery has gone well 👍 all the best
Well done mate I ran THE WALL in 2023, marshalled it this year and had the great pleasure of taking everyone’s photos at the end, booked up now to run it again in 2025, I love THE WALL only race that really gets me excited and emotional in equal measure
Absolutely superb mate! That was fantastic on many levels! Just goes to show that all that hard work you have been putting in lately certainly gets results bud! What a superb way to finish. Fast and strong.....incredible! The highlight for me had to be the "Roman thing".....fascinating 🤣👌I look forward to seeing what you have got coming up next mate 😉😎🤘
Haha thanks Ben - I should give up the tour guide career I think 😂 yes the training does seem to be paying off! The next few weeks will be focussing on upping the training now and getting fit enough to keep up with you at Triple Trails!! Cheers for watching mate
Cheers Dan! Just trying out different ideas and hoping to improve with each video. If only I could use the same approach with my running 😂 cheers for watching bud
Absolutely brilliant video and experience, Mike. As my first and only ultra, this video helped me relive my experience. Your previous video helped me prep as well. Thank you so much for making them and sharing them. Cheers.
Hi, I was there. Shame I didn't see you. I had watched your 2022 video so many times leading up to race. Was my first distance more than a marathon. Weldone on your time..
Hi Mike. Didn't quite manage to say hi as I saw you walking to the start line. Great video. It has been great to relive the event again. I absolutely loved doing for the first time this year. Keep up with the great videos and well done on your pb.
💪💪🏃🎖Huge CONGRATS Mike!!!!🎖🏃💪💪 Another fabulous and motivating video, truly gorgeous, with a well-earned hearty English breakfast there at the end!!! Sincerely BRAVO!!!!👏👏👏
I think we all recognise you the same way, Mike. "Oh look, there's Mike with his gate. I'm sure he'd run faster without it" 😝 Glad you enjoyed the wall again mate. Well done! 💪🏃♂️🙂
Congratulations on that PB, Mike. Superb video, your best ‘Wall’ footage yet. You really captured all of the key parts of this event which will be invaluable info for the first time participant. I had to pull out at Hexham unfortunately. However, already signed up for 2025 to go back & get the job done 😎 Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences of this brilliant race 🙏🏻 All the best, Karl
Well done Mike, last year was my second attempt and first finish. Only ultra I've ever raced and felt very nostalgic watching this. Hopefully I'll be back, would love to do it in 15. Well done!!
Well done Mike, I was quite some way back from you. Totally agree with the position of that last aid station, it was just at the right spot which I needed to finish the race. Great video
That looked a lovely route full of history and quite runnable throughout. Finishing on a track. Now there's something for you to consider. A track race!
Great running mike! Think i have watched your videos of the wall about 10 or 15 times since i signed up last year! Cant believe its next week, im bricking it! Ill say hello if i see you, but if not good luck!
Thanks Cameron! I hope the Wall video is helpful. Please do come and say hello! If I don’t see you, good luck. It’s a fantastic, well supported run with a great mix of terrain and plenty of time to finish! Enjoy 🙌
Awesome account of this brilliant route, Mike. It was good to share a mile or two near the start. Well done on your performance and hopefully see you at another race again soon buddy!
Well done Mike! Looked like a great event and route and the race track finish was a nice touch. I enjoyed seeing all the locks and weirs. Best of luck with The Wall next weekend 🏃🏻
Thanks Rachel! It was a wonderful mix of scenery and nice and flat. Only just over a marathon really but quite a different experience. Fingers crossed for the wall! Really enjoying following your running journey - keep up the great work
Well done mate! Great race vlog and it looked like a really nice route. Well done to the Embrace ultra team for setting it up perfectly apart from the marmite sandwiches lol. Good luck on the next one on the 15th.
