Thanks! It's a really fun course and a bit different to a lot of parkruns.

@doingmybest6438 definitely need to know the course! This one was longer than my watch thought it was, but still fun anyway. Merry Christmas!

@doingmybest6438 I'll likely do it again for 2025. It's flat, so great for a pb effort. Wirral 10k sounds good, though. My dad's from the Wirral.

@jsb_running It's a genuine PB course. Flat, not too crowded, etc. Very tempted to give it a miss though.

@@paulanthony812 Merry Christmas 🤶

@@simonbamford4045 fair enough 🤣

@Stewwwwww it did get busy, yes. I arrived at 08:30 as I'm always early, and there were lots of spaces. It's a big car park. I think at 08:45 you're still probably okay, but I wouldn't leave it later.

Thanks! It was fun. Definitely doing it again in 2025. Always need to have an emergency Heineken on standby!

@timwood8728 it is quite unique due to being small and compact. Hope you enjoy it!

No, there was someone with a running prosthetic blade, and that's what was squeaking

@@Buszkraftowski I hope you get to visit. It's a fantastic area!

@@jsb_running Walked already the West Highland Way and the Rob Roy Way. The Speyside Way would be a different experience. And more Whisky Distilleries on the way... :D

@stevefrith7283 It is nicer that way! Uphill on the way back is always a struggle! What is your local parkrun?

@@jsb_running Penistone in South Yorkshire. Out and back on the TransPennineTrail.

@stevefrith7283 I'll get to that one soon hopefully!

@marmaliser6481 haha, not sure I would have won, but thanks for the belief! I'll be doing a lot more events like that next year.

I did stay on the right on the way back, but there were so few vehicles on that section (and they would be very slow) that it barely mattered even being in the middle of the road. It's such a quiet area. Thanks for watching!

@@jsb_running Love running up there. Isn't there a half marathon at Haweswater?

@@stevefrith7283 yes, I believe there is. It starts in Bampton and it's an oiut and back just on the tarmac side of the reservoir.. I would be interesting in doing it. Just googled it...it's in March, so I'll set a reminder for myself and probably do it in 2025.

@@jsb_running My wife's birthday. And a special one. Ah well.

@mojofitz I agree, and they probably will end up doing that. I'm guessing most weeks, they won't have big numbers turn up, and it will be easier.

@@davidbriers3947 I agree that's a concern with this course. I can imagine some accidents happening. It is narrow.

@@Hayata-s5c thanks for the comment! Well done on your running, that's great going! Keep it up.

@doingmybest6438 Yes, especially when it's a parkrun you've not done before, that's what makes it harder. Not knowing if it's going to be slightly short or long. I think it's better to be under than over, though.

@goodyeoman4534 absolutely, definitely worth a visit!

@1_bowerworld Thanks! I'm glad I came, it is one of my favourite parkruns, I think. Really lovely course and everyone was very enthusiastic!

@@jsb_running yeah im fairly regular there being local but pushing the buggy doesn’t make it easier 🤣 well done on your time 👏🏻

@1_bowerworld wow, doing it with a buggy would be tough going! I don't think I've got the strength for that 😅 well done doing that!

@@capitaldidi where did you finish? Well done also, it was a great run!

​@@jsb_running Thanks! It was my first run in the UK and yeah, the ambiance was fantastic. Oh...only 949 out of 1169 hah. But I managed to beat my 10k PB by almost 2 minutes so I was happy.

@capitaldidi that's what is great about running. There is always someone faster and always someone slower. So never compare to other people, we are all competing only against ourselves! A two minutes PB is amazing! Great job!

@@jsb_running thanks for your kind words ☺️ see you at the next one 🙂

@@doingmybest6438 I'm not sure why this, I've not tried it. Here is another link for this activity. See if this works. strava.app.link/C7QwdmQViNb

@marmaliser6481 I didn't know about the Movember run. Thanks for the reminder! I have run Croxteth Hall before, but not since I started this channel, so it would be a good one to do.

@@doingmybest6438 it was a little wet, but okay. It will probably get really muddy throughout the winter!

@@doingmybest6438 I'm trying to get some nice ones done while there is some sun!

Thanks for volunteering! Really enjoyed the run. Hope to do it again someday!

@pikachu-ww2ym I currently run about 75km a week, which is more than you need to go sub 23. I'm aiming for 19! But...it really depends on your current pb, age, weight, current mileage etc. Maybe 30k a week for sub 23....but, it depends.

@pikachu-ww2ym I'm using the insta360 go 3. It's good because you can remove the camera from the pod and it's light. It only has about 30 minutes battery that way, but that's fine for parkrun.

@cadethonorcode8213 I'm not sure about that, but thanks! I'm currently running every day. About 75km a week. I'm trying to get that higher also! I do a long 25k run on Sunday and intervals on Wednesday. Everything else, I run mostly slow (zone 2) except parkrun on Saturday (threshold pace). Sub 45 is achievable for a lot of people if you follow a good plan.

@@jsb_running Thanks! I will do that workout, hopefully I can run Sub 45 like you.

@cadethonorcode8213 Good luck. You can do it for sure! Build up to more miles over time. Don't do it in one go to prevent injury.

@sertyuik It's close with Watergrove, but I think this one is maybe tougher.

Really nice. I've never been before. Glad it wasn't raining anyway - it was tough enough without mud!

@JarredDavidson thanks for watching! Well done on the 49:05. Keep going. You will get the sub 45!

@keithbowden4248 Thanks! Yes, I think it definitely helps having all those runners around. I felt afterwards that I probably couldn't do that time, just running on my own. Sticking to a group helps with pacing, and it gives a psychological boost that kind of drags you along. I would say it definitely helps with focus, especially going into the second half.

@olooalfredo Appreciated, and thanks for watching! I'm still recovering now, I think 😆 On to the half marathon for the next pb attempt in October

@@jsb_running my support you have. Go ahead

What camera is that you used for real-time recording?

@olooalfredo I'm using the insta360 go 3

@@jsb_running alright, thank you.

It is a really nice route - lots of great views from the beach to the mountains. Definitely recommend you give it a go when you're back in Barmouth! I don't think I passed a single other person going towards the neolithic site, so it was very quiet and peaceful!

@@diyanchristian5379 thanks for the comment!

That would have made the route a bit more interesting!
