PARKRUN LAST TO FIRST? I GAVE THAT A FULL SEND! 

Such a good idea - I’m still imagining what my face looks like when I saw you…🍦🥊🥊👉👉👉👉👉👉

Bwahahahaha actually laughed out loud when I read this!! 🤣🤣

+constantly talking about positions +rithmic clapping

Looolll!

I had the exact same comment said to me

NSFW ! 😂

🤣🤣 he was more disappointed than me!! All good fun in the end!

I love doing that!

100% well done for that, I have had a fast finisher come back to help me when I was starting out. Got me a PB.

In a similar vein, having volunteered quite a lot at parkrun, I find that park-users who complain about others not 'sharing the park' are almost always the worst offenders - their idea of sharing is that everyone else should get well out of their way. One lady once insisted on walking in the centre of a path with her arms out wide, about 300 metres from the start of a parkrun with around 700 runners (I'd told her there would soon be a run coming through - everyone else just takes another path, stands to the side, and a few carry on walking but at the side of the path). Of course, it was all the fault of the runners who weren't sharing the park...

The only difference to running meets is that the time is "officially" measured. So why not run fast and achieve your best time. And quite honestly 90% of parkrunners don't have the "problem" of being fast. In my city the fastest person is usually 22+ minutes. And I have to admit: I'm sorry but I ran a 15:30 there once. I hope I didn't trigger anyone with it, but I thought parkrun was there to get timed. I will exclude myself in the future because I am too fast for the event 😂 At Nick's Instagram reel there were also comments from people who were put off by his fast time. Excuse me? Can't you see the hundreds of other "slow" runners in the background?

I'm a big fan of Nick, and love his videos - but this one did make me a little uncomfortable, and I want to try to explain why.... You can see from the video it's already pretty congested in the middle and at the back. As a middle/back of the pack runner - I find the first few minutes of park run difficult and claustrophobic. I'm constantly being jostled as I, and everyone around me is trying to find their stride. It's already difficult trying to find gaps, overtake people with dogs, children and buggies, whilst trying not to get in other peoples way. To have a very fast runner, deliberately start at the back, then try to blast through - just adds to the chaos. I get the sense that a lot of people in this park run knew Nick, and were happy to let him through - but I would hate for this to catch on. I think it's respectful, where possible, to try to start in roughly the position for the speed you plan to run at - this helps us all to have as unimpeeded run as possible.

@@fsdfgwe If you can run mid 15s everyone else can kiss your backside.

Totally agree - many of the "let's be inclusive" brigade are completely exclusive for the fast parkrunners. Parkrun is for all - fast, slow, walk, run - personally i salute this video

You had a solid pack I must say 🙌🏻 hope you did well in your club champs!

Pleasure! Glad you enjoyed this one as much as I did 🙌🏻

Head cam this one. We’ll get the Go Pro right next one 😉 glad you could join me for this one!

Yep he did this on you tube a few weeks ago. It doesn't detract from this video, still a great thing to do.

Great to hear and well done on a solid run!!

I love this comment. It's great hearing you faster runners recognise this. As a mid to back of the pack runner, I spend the first 5mins or so getting stuck behind and jostled by other runners. Then just as it starts to thin out, and I'm finding my rhythm, we get the "KEEP LEFT" as the speedies come thundering through! But like you say, it should be a run, not a race, so I try not to let it bother me. But somehow it helps knowing you guys (some of you at least!) are aware. Thank you! :)

@@user-ij9uk8tn8i Absolutely true, I have to recognise it! It’s such a different experience. On my local parkrun there is a 180 turn around the 1km mark, by which point I’m normally sitting in my rhythm somewhere around 10th with all the space I need; when I see my wife (a ~30 min runner) coming the other way, it’s like looking for her at a music festival! As for making the lapped runners keep out of the way, it bothers me if people are feeling intimidated by faster runners. For my part, it’s 100% *my* problem to get around runners I’m lapping. Yes, I appreciate the courtesy of keeping to one side, but I certainly don’t expect it on a parkrun.

@@ScottishJazzmanHahah! Yes. It does get pretty crowded further back. It's nice to hear you don't expect the people you're lapping to move over for you, but I do try to if I can. I can imagine it must be very frustrating if you're really going for it, and the people you are trying to lap are 3-abreast and oblivious. I think, where possible, we should all try to be aware of, and respect each other. (Which, I think, most people do.)

Hopefully motivating each other. Thats what it’s all about 👊🏻

🤣🤣🤣 I lot longer than it took me do the run I’ll tell you that much!! Right before posting I was one number out and had to do it all again. The joys!! Always worth it 😉

Sure thing. When it comes to breathing you need to try find rhythm. Focus and concentration to get the most out. Secondly the adidas Takumi Sen 10 or Pro 3 is what you’re after 🔥

🤣🤣🤣 couldn’t turn the sound off either as you wouldn’t get the feel for the video. Thanks 🙌🏻

To be honest I’m not clued up enough to make a video on this. I know it’s a problem in Kenya but I haven’t been there and been around it so I can’t comment on it. I’ve never once in my life been offered performance enhancing drugs. I think people know better 🤣🙌🏻

Insta 360 GO 3

Yes!!! First time in Manchester actually. 3 weeks to goooo!

Have a great run@@justalilbester My 2nd ever marathon, ran it last year after breaking my sacrum twice in 6 months. Ran 3.05.41, hoping to go a bit faster 🏃🏼

Yes there’s actually a program for that. I agree, let me get on it 👌🏻

For sure. Parkrun wouldn’t exist without volunteers so I often get involved. 🙌🏻

Remember this camera is very close to my mouth. So it sounds heavier than what it is.

I had no bloody clue 🤯 only realised when I got my number at the end.

His exact position was number one. Under 15'30", filmed, starting a minute behind.
