Run Adventurer was born from a desire to share with you my love of the countryside, trying to give you the experience of the countryside through my eyes and the feelings of peace and wonder it brings me.
I’m running but you you could just as easily walk or hike, I include a range of distances and difficulties to suit all. Along the way there will be some product reviews and hints and tips, and as I’m on keto some keto recipes too.
Te echo mucho de menos. El sitio más especial que he estado junto a ti. Siempre llevaré en mi corazón el abrazo que nos dimos al cruzar el puente de Luss con los pies metidos en el agua como siempre nos gustaba. Sempre al meu cor. Espere estes bé riuet. 😌💜🌊 Sempre al meu cor.
I enjoyed this video. Congleton is on my list for the very near future. I like the information about the parking and will be watching your video about the carbon running trainers. Thank you
I have a weird question. Is the color of your bike different from the blue bike on their website? it looks like a very different blue and I don't know if they changed the color or it's just a poor representation on the website. In most of the RU-vid videos I watched the bike looks more like the color of yours. I know monitors are not completely accurate but this is a big difference.
Nice morning for it - I planned to go for a quick run before work, but alas, enjoyed being asleep too much! Going to try and get out in the next hour or so before we reach the hottest part of the day!
Glad you are back running, though I really empathize with your struggles since I was recently diagnosed with AF. I'm not at the medication stage yet but have to closely monitor my heart rate. I'm glad that exercise is still recommended for my condition.
Alternative route - at 3:29 take the route to the left. Starts off steep but turns into a wonderful run away from the gravel. Only really suitable when frosty or after a decent spell of dry weather - else it's a boggy mud bath, and best avoided.
Great video. It is a good product. I have been using it, had already needed replacement unit. Shame it's not sweat or water proof. I am sure in 2024 they could it.
I was really looking forward to watching this, what a disappointment, I suppose I could have slowed the video down. I felt quite sick watching it. This area used to be my playground in the 1950s.The Ship Inn was where my husband and I used to drink in the 1960s. It had a photograph on the wall at that time of my great grandfather with his horse and carriage wearing spats and a top hat. My friends and I used play around the Bollin .It had a canal off it to feed the mill. On the other side of Wilmslow Road was a group of buildings which were Styal Homes. After the Russian invasion of Hungary it housed refugee children. At school and our youth club we were encouraged to befriend them. Sadly they were not there long. After that it became a womans prison . One year in the early 1960s the Springboks rugby club came to have a friendly match at Styal.They stayed at the Queen’s Hotel in AlderleyEdge. Thank you for the video it brought back memories , it still looks quite nice round there.
My parents lived in Biddulph before it became popular. My mother died in 2004, when things had changed for the better. We used to go to Congleton, which I thought delightful. Then there was (And is) Biddulph Grange Gardens which are beautiful. At one time the Grange was a hospital for infectious diseases, I think. The patients would be in their beds outside on the verandas. I remember photographs of that. Thanks for taking me back in time, very enjoyable.
Yes you used to be able to see where the hospital wards were it was to the left of the gardens as you headed up the avenue to the large urn at the top. They’ve built houses there now I think
Glad you're feeling better mate, I had similar health problems last year, bit worrying at the time but the meds have really made a difference! I live in Congleton but never got around to doing the Biddulph Valley Way, got a few days off next week, very tempted... 😊
Loved this video Simon. I thought I knew Stoke quite well but you visited parts I'm not familiar with Chatterley Whitfield CP for example. So glad you are feeling better.
So far so good, the range isn’t quite as good as I’d hoped 25 miles ish and I have a squeaky drive belt, guess I need to take the wheel off and adjust it but frankly it’s brilliant, I’m able to get out and enjoy the countryside and cover so much ground with ease
@@RunAdventurer Oh, sorry, I got my wires crossed and meant that for a video with a gray one. I like the blue best but the colour on the videos is clearly not the same as on the website which is a lighter and more grayish blue. Interestingly, almost all the men who posted videos chose the blue but the women usually chose ivory or gray.
Hi I am in a very similar situation and am looking at a few different ADO models. But the one thing I can't seem to get a handle on with the Air 20 is how it handles hills. I am unfit due to long covid, short of breath through most exertion. I took one of my cities rental ebikes out for a ride today, it has no gears you can change, getting on a steeper bit of a hill the power seemed to go and it left me with quite a bit of effort to get up to the top. How have you found hills with the Air? I am considering the A20+ as it's got a few gears which might make hills easier.
You do need to pedal harder for the hills, it’s fairly flat around here so it’s not a problem. Cadence sensor with belt drive is great the issue is the uk law which caps the power at 250w, a better option would have been to allow double that but have a speed limiter so you could climb any hill with one gear. If you live somewhere hilly I’d go for something with gears for sure
What a lovely trail. Glad the ebike is helping you to do the thing that you love. I used to do some pretty long hikes but when an accident gave me a dodgy knee I took up cycling which is still a lifeline for me decades later.
I grew up in Weaverham, went to Sir John Deanes in Northwich and currently live in Winsford (also lived in Cuddington for a few months in the early 2000s) - so all *very* familiar territory for me. I actually picked up the cheaper (A20+) ADO folding e-bike last week for recovery/light cross training/just to get out so will be interesting to see how it compares. Short of a quick blast around the Close I've not had chance to test it properly yet (still recovering from the Chester Half last Sunday). Your Air 20 seemed to get up those hills very nicely (thinking up from Hunts Lock and Weaverham Road into Cuddington in particular). Thanks for sharing!
I’m pretty impressed with it I did a 28 mile spin from Congleton to Stoke the other week though the battery ran out at the end, I discovered some new places to explore more closely later. I’ve run Chester half more than once, good race ;)
Lovely!! After Skye the Glencoe area was my next favorite place, I went when the wils Rhododendrons were out, I know they are concidered to be a pest but they looked beautiful : ) I did a load of slideshow of the photos I took when I was bored with all the wet weather we were having a couple of months back!! Lol! Made me really want to go back!
Lovely went a few years ago, stayed on a campsite a short walk away from Luss, nice to see it again! : ) Did you see the Viking hog stones in the churchyard? Some fantastic old headstones there. Glencoe was my second favorite area after Skye! Great volg look forward to the next one!
Glad you enjoyed it, yes I’m not keen on heights and that drop was pretty scary. The people in front were foreign, German possibly? So it’s obviously on the tourist trail map. Really enjoyed it though
Great video, Delamere Forest has been on our list for ages. To be honest that warm up run from where you parked looks even better than the parkrun. I’ve been on Google maps and got it all clear in my mind now. Watched the “there and back” about four times. 😂 Thank you. Subscribed and liked.
Your opening statement "welcome to crosby" is not right you are in Waterloo area L22 and then Brighton -le - sands also L22 then you went to Blundell sands up by the baths which is L23 which is the same postcode as Crosby but not actually Crosby. Good vid enjoyed your tour. When I was a kid you couldn't get past the bay because the TA centre cordoned it all off so you could only walk as far as the little cove where the boats were.
Wow, this brought back memories for me ! I'm a 67 year old male and also a runner, but only started running 4 years ago . I had a heart attack 27th Feb 2023 it was a lad blockage so yes, a widow maker ! But I'm still here (Obviously) I waited over 2 hours for an ambulance and when I finally got to hospital I was rushed into theatre for an immediate angioplasty. They almost lost me on the table and had to defib me . I had one rather long stent fitted in the lad . Then 2 days later had another 2 fitted in one more artery. I was in hospital for 4 day's The pressure bandage you referred to on the right wrist is pressurised (or mine was) and it was kept on for 24 hours and each hour a nurse came to release some of the pressure. 3 months after my heart attack I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic, I have since turned my life around by re running Couch to 5k and training at the gym 3x a week . I am now 3 stone lighter . I'm 5'8" and was 13.5 stone at the time of the HA, I'm now at a stable 10 stone 5 lbs And my diabetes is officially in Remission. And all my blood works and risk markers are back in the normal range and I have not felt this good for many years 🙏 I was taken off the beta blockers as I got fitter and my resting HR was like yours, around 50. I have also now been taken off Clopidogrel which is a blood thinner but only take for 12 months after the HA. I'm still of course still on Aspirin . I would dearly like to come off the Statins but my GP is not prepared to take me off them . And I'm certainly reluctant to just ignore his advice even though I feel I don't need them . Anyway, I wish you all the best on your continued recovery and many more happy miles of running.... Thank you for your post and take care , Ian
@@RunAdventurer Thank you. I actually found the emotional recovery was just as real as the physical recovery.. It took me a long time to get my head around what had happened. May i suggest it might be worthwhile having a Hba1c blood test as sleep apnea and a waistline of greater than half your height are also markers for metabolic syndrome . I didn't have sleep apnea but did have the large stomach... These markers put you at greater risk for developing type 2 diabetes. And as you rightly say, better we can see the iceberg before hitting it . Take care !
I have been using this product which was very reliable. Unfortunately after 8 months the first one could not charge. So I was sent a replacement and the second replacement the same thing happen. I believe that the sensors part is of not a good quality, as with wrist and skin respiration may cause rust and also not sure why the charging pins after a while sinks in.For a price of £199.00 its not a very good product. Its a shame because it has the making of a great product.
