Ya, that’s right. I used to live in flat across from the playground you can see at about 47:30. Last time I did the Great Scottish Run was maybe 10 years ago. Was really nice at the end, just taking my medal back home 2 minutes from the finish

Sorry I know it's XL

@@cosworthization just looked up the email when I ordered it. Yes, it’s an XL. I think it’s 29 inches. I’m about 6’2” and it’s right for me. Hope that helps

@@fatrunner7564 many thanks

Thanks! I normally do it every year but missed it this year

Yup

She was cute. She went out of her way to give me a high five on the second lap

Thanks!

Thanks! What did you think of Erskine? I think I’ll take the family to Dean Country Castle Park. There a playground and the little one should get a kick out of the animals

@@fatrunner7564 I really liked Erskine. I was unsure how I'd feel about it since it was a double out-and-back but it was really nice 😁 and flat!

That’s great, thanks! I need to start posting more regularly. I might have another Parkrun video up soon

Thanks!

I’ve done the clockwork orange a few times too. Maybe I’ll make a video for that at some point as well

How far is it through the tunnel?

@@murielh766 I put up on screen I think. 762 metres

@fatrunner7564 I asked as I was watching it and it then came up. Hope you and yours are well

@@murielh766 about a kilometer but the drop down and then back up make it a very long feeling Km

Thanks!

@@fatrunner7564 I am wondering why there is not a parkrun at Glasgow Green!, from your video it looks flat and could be a good place for a parkrun

@@alanmorr3635 ya, I wondered if anyone has ever asked the council about one. I used to live in flats next to playground and it would have been great

Just barely made it. I should do better next week

I’m no expert by any means but suspension is good (only on front, no rear suspension). I haven’t taken it off road much but hope too soon

Thanks! Is the suspension better than other bikes and is this worth the price?

Evans Cycles near me is closing down so they have a massive sale. This is reduced from £550 to £330 hence why I am going to purchase this (hopefully)

@@AAK18. I don’t know enough to compare to other bikes, but £330 seems like a good deal. I got mine at the height of lockdown and there were no cheap bikes available

I probably will, not that many will watch it 🤣

@@fatrunner7564 I certainly will watch it, I have ran 36/10Ks, I live in Cumbernauld, I won't be running the Glasgow mens 10K but have registered to run the Cumbernauld 10K on Sunday September 3rd

@@alanmorr3635 I did Cumbernauld 8 years ago maybe. I like how it finishes in the stadium

@@fatrunner7564 I have been a spectator for years so I thought it was high time I ran it, it will be my first event race run, in addition to those 10Ks I have also ran 81 parkruns, yesterday at Dunfermline parkrun was my 81st parkrun.

@@alanmorr3635 nice! You’ll get that 100 T-shirt soon

Don’t forget they start at 8am

It really was. We had a great time

Thanks! I did. I’ll post a video for the marathon eventually too

😂

What did you upgrade? I’m bringing mine in for servicing in a couple days. The rear wheel is wobbly

Just got mine serviced yesterday upgraded the forks to 120mm air suspension as it gives more adjustable and easier travel as well as some flat pedals,shorter stem (inexpensive from Amazon) as well as a better front single gear setup with only a cassette in the back although that’s more of a luxury than a necessity.

@@bossconnor0171 I had to get new pedals. One popped off halfway to work 🤣

I also subbed to you causing me to increase in ability by 500% the second I looked at my bike

@@fatrunner7564 same here

Thanks! I didn’t know about the hill about halfway. I was hoping to do better than Glasgow but I was happy enough finishing under an hour. Yes, there’s always a few ladies taking part. There was a women’s event right after as well

Only just been sent this I'm the pacer with the broken flag excellent run bud

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! I probably could have done better but with the crowd, it was best just to take it easy

Ya, it was nice. Even Connor, who doesn’t normally notice scenery, mentioned it

Thanks! It is a nice course and I’m sure any other day the narrow path wouldn’t be a problem

Thanks! It was very narrow but unless you’re from he area you wouldn’t know. I suppose they want to be inclusive as possible so they’re not going to start banning buggies. It probably won’t be an issue going forward since it’s not likely to be as busy. I’ll have a marathon training video up later

Thanks! It was flat as a pancake, so has PB potential on a not so busy day

Thanks! Ya, it was pretty busy and passing was really difficult. I’m sure most other days it would be easier since today was the first one

Thanks! Yes, that’s the plan. Say hi if you see me

@@fatrunner7564 Won't be there sadly but I frequent the Glasgow ones most weeks. I'm a fellow "round about half an hour" runner, so maybe we'll pass each other one day :).

Thank! I only found out a couple days before.

Thanks! Too bad we missed each other. A couple other people did recognise me, which was nice. I think I’ll drag Connor out again to the new one in Erskine next. I was was dreading the hill at first. I thought, omg, I hope this isn’t another Holyrood. But it was too bad. I had to walk parts of it anyway because it was so busy I couldn’t get passed people

@@fatrunner7564 Yeah the main hill at Camperdown is fairly long but not too steep. The real killer is the last 800m or so - uphill through the trees then the steeper uphill to the finish!

Thanks! I don’t know about Liz Corbett. I’ll have to check the results page.

@@fatrunner7564 it was LIZ.. 😅I saw her name when thanking volunteers...omg 708 runners I've never known a parkrun with so many runners... 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😁x

@@lizgreen2936 it was very busy. Victoria usually has 400 or so. I think the first Holyrood probably had close to 1000

Thanks! I’ll give it another go at some point since I’m in better shape

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I had to hustle at the end to make sure the kids didn't pass me at the finish

Thanks! That’s what I liked about it. Pounding asphalt gets pretty boring after a while. It’s nice to be out in nature sometimes

I just checked Strava & I can’t believe it, but I have about 500 miles on mine. I like it too. I’d like to do some more trails though. Soon maybe

Ha! I fixed it. Thanks!

No, I haven’t. I thought about it but since today was the inaugural Parkrun, I did it instead. How was it?

@@fatrunner7564 it was great today but I have an Injury an didn't want to let the young girl I guide down so I still did it... 😂Lot of English runners there and I love the t shirt as its purple... 😁think about 300 ran it... 👍🏻

@@lizgreen2936 well done!

@@fatrunner7564 cheers I think we were about 5th last but who cares as long as we finish... 👍🏻

Thanks!

Yes, I was at Great Run Local fairly regularly when I lived at Glasgow Green. I didn’t go much after I moved to Maryhill. It is too bad they pulled the plug on it

@@fatrunner7564 I run with Rachael the Australian girl that was race director... She's a race director at elderpark now... 👍🏻x

@@lizgreen2936 I know Rachael. I chatted with her at the first Elder Parkrun

Great video, congratulations on volunteering at Ruchill, no great run local at Glasgow Green, how about a possible parkrun there?!

@@alanmorr3635 thanks! I thought a Parkrun at Glasgow Greens would be great

Thanks! I was worried it might rain but it turned out ok

Thanks!

Ha! Thanks! Yes they do

Thanks for watching!

I didn’t get to watch it for very long. It seemed to be going off in random directions.
