Way to go! Congratulations on your win against Gove. I wish you many more victories. 🎉 I like both the old and new logos. My favorite is the picture of you smiling, running, holding the selfie stick. Will you please bring back the pre-run warm up dance? 🕺 It’s so much fun! 😂😎😁

Great video as always 👏👏…. Wasn’t it awful weather! My hands were froze at the end. My new garmin is driving me mad too….. why don’t you run wearing your apple watch? Keep up the great work. This channel has grown so much since me and the family started watching you on a Sunday evening…. Brilliant 👏👏👏

[@middleagedrunningman]

Gove has some front. Cheers James, thanks for the support. (Logo and video)

[@TomAt1337]

Great run, superb time in those conditions, and a great video Marm. Loved the background music in the car park outro. The new logo is quality! I like the old as it's somewhat classic, but the new one is more inclusive as you've said. And it has you holding the GoPro! That's a lovely touch by the designer. Putting Marm on the bib was a bold move :D Please don't stop. I remember watching your Coventry half video from 2023 and you calling it "a bit boring". It still hurts to this day :D But then you also called Solihull the worst race of the calendar so I suppose it makes us even... Well, it is a bit boring. And the weather was shite. Thank you for doing it. If you don't make it into the London Marathon next year, feel free to come to Coventry again (is gonna be on the same day). Unless you get a lucky ballot ticket of course. To have a good reason not to come. You know. 3/3 for Korea. Do we make it into the round 3 for Birmingham?

[@middleagedrunningman]

Cheers Tom. I actually loved Cov, really enjoyed the course. Horrible cold day though. Glad you like the logo. Will get it on some merch eventually.

[@TomAt1337]

[@stereozo]

Hey buddy, I think it was 4th HM that we run (and sometimes meet) in past 6-7 months. I've got inspired by your running strategy, which is positive spilt, and created song. It's an adaptation to Linkin Park - In the End. You start too fast - it's not OK Cause in the end you out of gas You start too fast - you lose it all And in the end it doesn't even matter

[@middleagedrunningman]

I love an anthem!! We always see each other!! (Don’t be fooled into believing there is any strategy)
