Running out of Time | How not to run the Bob Graham Round 

Love that motto, I'll have to remember that one! Thanks mate, yep the BGR has a reputation for a reason!

Cheers Mr Historian that's very kind, especially from someone who has a flavour for how tough the route is! Great that your friend was successful in 1988 - I'm sure there was a lot less info out there back then. I haven't been up Broad Stand but would love to give it a go.

Glad you liked it! Too right, and this one was pretty hard-earnt.

Cheers, such a legendary route!

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks mate, I think it's fair to say the Camino training helped get Mikey round! Looking forward to teaming up for a run sometime.

Watching you on the spine@davidbone!!

Thanks mate, such an amazing adventure.

Thanks Mike, glad you liked joining us on our journey. Hope you can have a good crack at it soon, it's an incredible route.

Cheers, glad it brought back some memories (both highs and lows no doubt). It's one hell of a run, not something you or I will forget in a hurry. A fair few more completions since yours 12 years ago... Congrats!

Thanks very much!

Thanks, still can't believe we held it together!

Thanks Kevin, glad you like it! Hope you're keeping well :)

Wow, amazing that your shared our emotions! Cheers!

Thanks Daan, glad you liked it! I hope you do get a chance to try it, it's an amazing route. Greetings from the UK!

Thanks for the comment. Sometimes one foot in front of the other is all you can do, and all that's required.

Thanks pal, so many great memories to look back on!

Wow, what a life of running you've had! Yeah Feet in the Clouds is such a great book, it was our gateway too and gave us so much appreciation for the history and traditions of running in the Lakes. Glad you liked the film, and I hope re-learning how to run is going well.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the film! Yeah I think I'll always look back on that day with very fond memories.

Wow thanks so much! Yeah it is a pretty crazy route, it's amazing to look back on the memories of that day. I won't be forgetting it anytime soon. Thanks again, and take care.

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Wow thanks Josh, so kind! It's a pretty stunning part of the world, and some awesome memories. Hope you and the whānau are doing well!

Cheers buddy! Man it's a pretty incredible place to run, you'd love it.

Wow, thanks! Glad you liked it. So many fond memories of that day - such an amazing route and experience.

Thank so much, yeah it was definitely a team effort.

All d best bro

Cheers mate, glad you liked it! Hope you had an awesome time on your recce - I'll have to check out your videos. It really is an incredible route, hit me up if/when you manage to squeeze it into your calendar. Hope you're enjoying a bit more warmth and daylight back down in Aotearoa (as we quickly run out of it up here, haha).

Thanks buddy, hope you're keeping well!!

Cheers!

Thanks Nicholas, yeah definitely a bit of a wait... Glad it was worth it! Cheers

Thanks Blair, very kind! Yeah it was definitely a pretty emotional journey, still can't believe it actually worked out for us... Hope you're keeping well Blair!

Cheers Sam! Very kind words man, glad you liked it. Haha yup I'm sure Mikey was full of good yarns about it, what an epic day out. Take care mate!

Thanks so much! You weren't the only one who didn't think we were going to make it... I still can't really believe it worked out. So many incredible memories.

Thanks @@amrunning1301!

Muchas gracias!

Definitely some unreal memories there!

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the journey! My training was variable but generally a good few months of ~100 km weeks and 2000-3000 metres of vert. Lots of long runs in the hills, fastpacking weekends etc as I was focused on my Scottish National Trail trip only a few weeks later. There's a bit more detail in my blog for that trip if you're interested, link below. I think the boys down in London struggled a bit more with finding enough hills! stubbornlyoptimisticmatt.wordpress.com/2020/12/28/scottish-national-trail-trip-report-2/

Outstanding. I’ll have a read of that. Again, congratulations, amazing achievement

Thanks @@ryanglynn7080, appreciate it!

Thanks! Haha yes I think it's fair to say we got pretty lucky that day... What an experience!

@@MattGirvanNZ You earned your 'luck'.

Thanks mate, much appreciated. That's awesome, keep up the running and videos!
