What type of shoes would you recommend wearing? I am doing it this Saturday was gonna wear trail but seeing parts of the route am rethinking it now from your video

Nice video of the route 👍🏻

What a great video ! Well done for 40 for 40 ! Regarding Wigan Pier. It was a "pier" that was used to dump coal from the wagons on to the barges. You ran past a replica of it around the 20:50 mark. It is literally just a railway track sticking up in the air. Well done again.

Love it!

Lean into it young man

Great, achievement, Is there a video for 2022?

Fyb

Brilliant video

What watch did you use

This was the PR i ran before manchester Marathon! strange to spot myself on a video! can't believe how fast they ran that, its a great course!

How far is it by car please

Well done guys! Im about to do my first park run this weekend, chose Telford as its local, thanks for the video.

I wish I knew muddy trails around Ontario

Is there any midsole response or energy bounceback in this shoe?

I watched this video last year when I was on the fence about giving this ago...As I write this I am sat in my hotel in Liverpool the night before this years event ready to go!💪

rewatching This for the weekend, can i ask to do it feel hilly

Only just seen this video. Brilliant. Loved it. Belated Happy Birthday, Laura. 🥳🎈🎉🎂 What a fantastic effort from you both and the perfect way to celebrate your big day. (11:54) LMAO!! The lads took their unplanned swim with a smile so it's all good. It's actually nice warning ahead of this month's LLCR. The path looks very narrow so will need to take extra care on that section. I notice Matt is on start list of this years LLCR. I took a very late entry myself. My longest ever run is just over 50 miles so 127 is a huge gamble - a titanic, scary challenge. Nervous but excited. I'm assuming Laura will be part of the Matt support crew so will see you both there.

Great video, thanks for sharing. The route goes past my front door so I have to give it a try! Doubt I'll be anywhere near your time though

Oh yeh, also great video and insight into the race. I think the race director should give you some money🤣

Well done Matt, that was a great achievement. Think I will be signing up for this myself this year. Just deciding which 100miler to do with my mate at the moment. So might hopefully see you there if you do it again. I think you should do the Cheviot Goat next. That one is a tester😅keep safe🤘

Been thinking about doing this route for a little while as i grew up slap bang in the middle of the route (accrington/burnley). Had no idea there was an official race. Great video - gives a good insight into the mental and physical side of the challenge! Thanks

Fellow streaker here!! Keep goin 💪🏽!! ✊🏾

Amazing going to try running with my daughter

El muy notorio el tema gel?? A otras zapatillas?

I'm always surprised by how many gates runners have to open in England. I'm not sure I could get used to that.

I’m too old for this now but I’d have loved to have a go at it. I was with you all the way though…..(shame about missing the last half….). Great video. Well done! 👍🍷

The poor wear characteristics doesn't really apply to carbon x, it's certainly the case for nikes which will fall apart after 200 miles. The hoka should last more like 500 if you watch the upper. Congrats on the pb. Bit dodge running a marathon soon after vax and on new shoes, glad it worked out 😎

Well done, great story.. perhaps show Laura how to change a go pro battery 😂 good luck with the next one.

Great video

Loved this event. Fast, flat course and good fun. The medal is one of my favourites. Ps. 2:29 LMAO 🤣😆

Nice video. Really well shot. 🎥 Did this in 2018. Nice course. Flat but I seem to remember the camber of the path was a bit awkward in places. Overall, it was a decent event.

Wow. What a fantastic insight into what is a truly epic race. You’re all super-human. You’re all absolute heroes. I know Chris ‘rhino boy’ Green really well (26:50). He is indeed a top bloke - the nicest guy you could ever meet. I usually come down to finish line to support the finishers but sadly wasn’t able to this year. I’ve done a few 50 mile ultras but this is another level. Wish I had it in me to attempt this event but it’s not possible……. one day maybe but then again, maybe not. 😆 Congratulations once again and good luck for 2022.

dude u r funny. 80 hors work week that's a lot, well-done on the race.

Struggling to signup for the one in 2 weeks time, Those hills aren't friendly lol

Just finished this year's race vlog. You had a nice day for it!

Waa nice to see u

Haribo Sours are Iona's (& mine!) energy sweets of choice on our parkrun adventures! We have a fueling ratio of a haribo a mile 😀 and two at the finish! Thanks for the tips, agree with the finishing treat Iona and I look forward to our fryup followed by time on a playground after our parkruns ( you can see our adventures on our channel )

Awesome 👌 I watched this two times and am in awe. I live in Wigan, and believe it or not, I am the cyclist that rode passed you as you were close to Chorley. I had a yellow top on. I sadly cant run any longer, injury forced me to stop, but I can appreciate so much what an amazing achievement this was for you. Massive well done 👏....respect 👏✔

Thanks. Regards :)

have you got any races coming up i to think you in a similar area to me

Hoka oooo-nn-eeee, oooo-nn-eeee

Fantastic insight into the run well done you are super human 👍

Are they warm on cold weather?

Is it good for road running

Asics gel venture 8 or nike revolution 5 for 8 kms running daily?

Good job bro!!!!

I'm giving this event serous consideration for next year, your video is brilliant, even the filming issues give an insight into getting over mental challenges in a race of that time and distance. Well done in completing the race and completing the vlog 👏

Is it good for race

Is it good for sprinting

I’m Confused to choose between Ascis Gt express 2 vs Ascis gel venture 8 vs Ascis Gt 1000 9 vs Ascis gel quantum festa? What do you recommend in those, thanks in advance.
