Best of luck tomorrow Jess. You’ve got a perfect autumn day for it. Hope the combo of your pace and your friends pace give you the best results. Enjoy the race Jess and look forward to following your tracker 😊

Yes! 50 miler 😅 that's amazing. I'm still looking at 50k races, with hopes of trying the 75km peak ultra something from Bakewell in a year or so 😁 Fully expecting, and looking forward to, a chaotic race video. They're the best sort! 😄👍 Have a good one. Oh yeah, the Wickerman was closed when we went. Gutted. Was regretting my life choices on the way up to the top of Oblivion... and on the way down 😂

Hi Jess It was good to meet you in langstrath valley near black moss pot. We stayed up on Sargeants crag that night, and it turned out to be another very windy and wet one which made coming down from eagles crag the following day very interesting (as you said it would be).

Four full days! Not as long as I would perhaps have liked but that was what was easiest to fit in around work. It's about three hours drive for me, depending on which bit of the lakes I'm going to so it's not too bad, but just far enough away that I feel like I have to go up for at least two or three days to make it worth it.

Round Rotherham 50 miler sounds like a good one for the bucket list. Good luck with your sub 13 goal. I usually have so many video ideas that I just know I'll never get around to making half of them 😅 Looking forward to seeing what you've got planned 👍
@AMostlyFunctionalJess Ай бұрын
It'll be good fun! I typically run into issues with the filming process for certain video ideas. Sometimes the faff of setting up shots for how I want the video to look ends up putting me off even starting it 😂 so keeping the upload schedule loose will hopefully means those higher effort videos will be more likely to happen because they'll happen naturally
@racheld1844 Ай бұрын
Mark and Jess…. In the same boat here 😂 I have loads of good ideas and then knock them on the head when I realise the actual film time and organisation is more hassle than it’s worth. Jess, really good to hear the summer’s been positive on the running front. You’ve had a great season. Hope you’ve found a way to keep that enjoyment going 😊

It is a faff isn't it? This whole 'being creative' business 😂 I have definitely learned how to find enjoyment in the process. Previously I was just impatient with myself all the time and upset about not being able to perform 'well', but the consistency is beginning to pay off so I just need to keep at it and keep enjoying myself!

Yes we've had a few local fell races with lower turnouts than normal. I think people are just being more selective about the races they're entering and travelling to what with cost of living increasing. Summer is also just really busy for races so it can also be that some years more people happen to decide to do one race over another.

I am glad you PBed, Jess, on this half marathon. And you came to our neck of the woods. We have Frecklton Half Marathon quite often on our Preston Harriers Road Championship.

By the way, you looked good and strong even when you were saying that you were dragging yourself at the end. Weldone!

Nice to hear an update Jess. Your road running has definitely been successful this year! Good luck with your league races, I’m sure you can top the charts 😁 I’ve just started to add some extra weights to my training (after years of keeping the weight low and reps high). I got some 2nd hand weights and a weights bench, cleared the garage out and have a mini set up ready to go. I might have a few achy muscles for a while Thanks for your comment on my last video. I didn’t really reply individually as I know I probably would have spilled too many beans. It really is difficult to know what to put out there. Sorry to hear of your experiences. The whole concept of being a ‘public’ person is always going to open a few can of worms and put us in potentially difficult or dangerous positions. Not fair or right but I guess it’s out there and we aren’t any less susceptible to being on the receiving end of that negativity.
@AMostlyFunctionalJess 3 ай бұрын
Yes there will definitely be some extra DOMs for a little while switching to higher weight and lower reps, but you've got strong legs, I suspect you'll adjust quickly! Having a home set up is great. Yes it's always a difficult one having some aspect of yourself 'public'. I've learned to navigate it through sheer volume of experience.

If you let a cobbler get their hands on those Feldoms they can easily stitch the sole to the upper, they'll be a bit more rugged after this. What do you think about the Freet Calver, maybe that's something for your races?
@AMostlyFunctionalJess 6 ай бұрын
I'll have a look into the cobbler option. I do have a pair of Freet Calver, they seem fine for training runs but I do routinely run into this issue where if I'm moving faster over any slightly harder terrain (hard packed trail, flagstones etc) in low-no cushioning shoes, my legs seem to feel like they're detaching from my body and I begin to feel nauseous. Absolutely no idea what that's about but it doesn't happen if I wear shoes with a bit more cushioning in them. That's a me problem though and not a problem with the shoe since it happens universally with any low cushioning shoe!
