When I did this in October last year the ascent out of Bradwell was diverted round the quarry as one of the fields had a sinkhole. Was that still the case when you did it? As I’m doing it again this weekend. Great video , some different sights from the summer run you did of it.
@TrailRunningCouple Ай бұрын
Hi, sorry for the late reply! The route we followed was pretty much as per the GPX. I wasn’t aware of any diversions made apart from maybe the odd wrong turn!! 😂 Did you manage to do it? How was it? 👍
@3manstack Ай бұрын
@@TrailRunningCouple it was fantastic. Gorgeous weather with a nice breeze. The field with the sinkhole was actually open so that was alright. We took a few wrong turns following the gpx route but they were soon noticed. 5 hours 4 mins in total. That’s over 2 hours quicker than last time but I was only using the route map and was solo then (tons more wrong turns that time, I did 22 miles that day!! 😩)

In awe that you went back so soon after the race. Total respect. Marley makes it look so easy on the tough trails too. I will add that apart from the aid station locations, majority of it i didn't recognise 🤣. Very surprised that whole trip was 25 miles. I would have thought a lot more. Will absolutely do the the coniston to ambleside cumbria way route at some point. It will give me a different perspective on the area. Best video to date also 💪

Another fantastic upload. Glad the knee is feeling better, mine hasn't been the same since the HOWUM 30 in May. Patella tendinitis is plaguing me at the minute, hopefully only having 2 Half Marathon's to complete before the end of the year, so that will be less impact on my knee. Ready for The Lap May '25.
@TrailRunningCouple Ай бұрын
Cheryl’s knee is definitely better but still has niggles. All being well it’ll sort itself out within a couple of weeks or so. Hopefully your issue would be too long lived either. Nothing worse is there?! The Lap is such a great event. Don’t think you’ve done it before have you? Is Vikki doing it as well?
@darrenwilliams9643 Ай бұрын
@TrailRunningCouple yes, Vikki and I are both doing it, it will be her biggest so far, and just shy of my longest, but, I do appreciate the fact we've never run in the Lakes and I will be giving it the utmost respect it deserves. The knee. Yes it's very debilitating, frustrating and infuriating, but worst of all it's playing with my head a lot, and I'm already worried about The Lap now, and it shouldn't be like that. We'll see though, I'll either complete it, or I won't, and if I don't I will be back to do it.

Hi Gary and Cheryl, gutted for you, but sometimes it just doesn’t go for you, you 2 are as hard as nails so the only time you won’t get round is if your bodies let you down, absolutely no shame in DNF, to cover the distance and ascent/decent you did was still an incredible achievement, 50 miles is the furthest I’ve been which is nothing compared to what you do, I did the Bronte Way in November and that is still the hardest thing I have ever done, I had goretex boots but water went over the top and for about 30 miles no matter how many times i changed my socks they were wet again within 2 minutes, my feet at the end were similar to how Gary described his, massive blisters on forefoot’s and lots elsewhere. I am sure you will be back, keep doing what you do, you are both amazing. All the best Tito 👍😊
@TrailRunningCouple Ай бұрын
Thank you so much Tito, your kind words are very much appreciated. We’ve definitely taken this on the chin. Yes we’re disappointed but injuries happen and can change the outcome of any race/event.

Absolutely brilliant video. I chatted to you on the start line and then headed to the back of the pack for the duration. Your video really shows the strength of will required to take on something like the 100 but also shows how exposing it is and the crazy roller coaster of emotions you can experience. I think it's so important to have videos like this that celebrate the effort and the experience whilst acknowledging that sometimes it just doesn't go to plan. Thanks for the video and looking forward to seeing more of Marley on future vids!

Thank you so much. We remember talking to you. Hope your race went without too many hitches?? It wasn’t our weekend at all but even so we tried to push through it.

Finally got round watching this. I'm an expert at DNF's as you know and i applaud you both for the determination right up to Ambleside when you have to say 'enough is enough'. You're still heroes and legends in my book and i certainly know when knees and feet become an issue. You'll be back though one day and stronger. When things like covid etc happen in the same year, you think you have recovered but your body hasn't. It takes more than a year to get fit again. Bloody great video though and the best one yet of the Lakeland 100. Respect to you both.
@TrailRunningCouple Ай бұрын
Thanks Andy, appreciate your kind words. This certainly took some much out of us both by the end but ultimately it was injuries forcing the DNF. Mentally we were still strong but we had to be realistic with speed we were travelling given that there were a few more ascents. We would both hate to call upon others for help so chose the safe option and took the DNF! We’ll be in the ballot again in September and should we not be successful will be looking for an alternative 100, probably the Brecon Beacons with GBUltras, same day and similar numbers to LL100. Rest up Legend 👍
