Crewing God's Own Backyard Ultra (GOBYU) after Running Woodhouse Moor parkrun.

[@EleanorGallon]

Aw, thanks for this, it brings back a lot of emotions! To set the record straight - I would NOT have got as far as I did without Nicola, definitely not - her crewing was incredible, she took such good care of me and my kit etc, and it really was a team effort ❤❤❤

[@audgester]

Amazing! What an effort and crew!

[@NicolaRuns]

You were awesome 💪🏻 You could, and can go further... One more lap 😉 It was a pleasure to share your journey and your comeback from lap 26 was incredible 😃

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks, it was a fun, but sleep deprived adventure! I'm so happy I could help Eleanor get her PB 😃

[@niafer9444]

What a great feat of endurance and fortitude. Well done and gz on your PB :)

[@emmarunyeard6832]

Best crewing ever and the aid station of my dreams ❤

[@bren70ssss94]

yay eleanor , what a warrior , nicola is such a good friend 😁

[@NicolaRuns]

Eleanor's awesome isn't she?! I wouldn't give up an entire night's sleep for just anyone 🥰

[@AllanParkin]

Excellent video Nicola 👍

[@NicolaRuns]

Awww thank you ☺️🤗

[@andybrook9518]

This looks absolutely brutal. She did amazingly. And Hunter's Greave brings back memories of Scout camps!

[@NicolaRuns]

Eleanor is awesome but the format is brutal 😳

[@runningoneddie]

Wow, you are a good friend Nicola. What a fantastic event and Eleanor did great. You definitely had the organizational part down. I never had the urge to run something like that but I can certainly appreciate the mental strength it takes to keep at it. Cool video and it was a lot of fun to watch

[@michaelgriffin1458]

Eleanor is adorable 😀

[@NicolaRuns]

Couldn't agree more! The moment when she says "Slightly delusional but..." 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰

[@richsullivan1950]

Nicola's Hair Tier Week Sixteen - "Crew cutting is hard work" 9/10

[@NicolaRuns]

This is super clever 😂

[@geoffh2560]

ye gods that is brutal! The worst bit must be not knowing how much your competitors have got left in the tank... Thanks for the video Nicola, a true insight into another world!!

[@NicolaRuns]

It's crazy! And as Eleanor showed you can be at breaking point and it can turn around and you can be totally fine for hours and hours! 🙃

[@richardbuck1729]

Feeling some Jasmine Parris vibes at the end of yard 26 💪

[@NicolaRuns]

Yes! Exactly this 😃

[@paulk7663]

That was fantastic Nicola. I’ve become obsessed with all the Backyard videos but this really showed the importance of having a support team. Have you ever done one?

[@paulk7663]

PS - major congrats to Eleanor - what an amazing runner and incredibly strong person. 👏👏

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks, no I've not done one. I get raynaud's really badly so the stopping would kill me! I'm more of a keep going kind of girl. It's an interesting format though as I love the thought of looking my competitors in the eye every hour! Although I find there's such camaraderie, it's not really about sussing each other out to see who is going to fail. It's about pushing each other to see how far you can go together! 😃

[@NicolaRuns]

She's awesome isn't she?! 😃

[@paulk7663]

@@NicolaRuns that’s interesting. Not sure which side of the fence I’d land. Either way thought of 24 hrs is incredible - beyond that is unreal.

[@EleanorGallon]

@@paulk7663 I love watching BYU videos too, and can highly recommend Phil Gore's 'Unlimit' if you've not seen it yet, it's my absolute favourite 😊

[@MichaelTinker-dt1rp]

did my 50th park run today went to Clarance park for 3rd time quite muddy today so no PB but i did finish 8th out of 65 and was 1st in age group i am ready for half marathon tommorrow at Leeds Kirkstall

[@NicolaRuns]

Ooh only just seen this! Huge congratulations on your 50th and good luck today in your race 😃

[@MichaelTinker-dt1rp]

@@NicolaRuns o i loved the race today i was flying 7 and 8 min miles all the way if i do a marathon next year this will be the one in the last mile my left leg was sezing up and had to take it steady down by the locks going to do again on March 9th but i am thinking 20 miler o and i saw Hilary twice again today she was doing the half marathon John the RD is so funny

[@MichaelTinker-dt1rp]

@@NicolaRuns got 1h47 and finished 11th out of 64 in the half

[@NicolaRuns]

@@MichaelTinker-dt1rp well done 😃

[@andreasgotz7537]

This Event is very interested. Is this Ultra Running Event a Trail or a mixture between trail and Road running? Thank you for the Video.

[@NicolaRuns]

The day loop is trail and the night loop is road 😃 If you run far enough then it's an ultra 🙃

[@andreasgotz7537]

@ thanks for the Information👍

[@NicolaRuns]

@@andreasgotz7537 no worries. They do the race twice a year. In May there's way more light and so more trail loops and in November it's more night loops so more road 🙃

[@andreasgotz7537]

@ thank you

[@simonroberts5033]

Not sure if this is inspirational or just plain bonkers. Slid my way around my16th park run today. Now nailed to the floor, and with a calf strain to boot. Can't get my head around that distance

[@NicolaRuns]

It's bonkers... But in the best way possible! Hope your calf forgives you quickly ☺️
