Gower Trail Race - my longest run (in time) ever! Sorry - long video too 😅

[@thomassauka]

Oh really that’s good I haven’t watched your Norfolk half video yet so I will have to, Thanks

Cracking views Julian. Many parts reminded me of Beachy Head Marathon, speaking of which see you on the start line NEXT WEEK !!! 😱

[@julianberry]

OMG! Dont remind me! Actually - bring it on! Mentally I am so much stronger now - even if my legs aren't! 🤣

[@SwimBikeRunStu]

The gower is my favourite place in the world. Great watch 👌

[@julianberry]

Thanks Stu - amazing place, isn't it! I cant believe I'm already wondering whether to do it again next year! What are we like? 🤣

Another great video Julian. Beautiful coastline & looks like a very hard course - well done on completing it 👏

[@julianberry]

Thank you! Well it was certainly hard for an old feller like me! And the way the 50 milers came past me was both disappointing and inspirational in equal measure!

[@r_unner_G]

Well done, Julian, and an entertaining video as per usual. Beachy Head will be a dawdle for you now 😂 Good luck there

[@julianberry]

Thank you! It will be interesting - still a very hilly final 6 miles to contend with - but I am up for it!

[@thomassauka]

Well done Julian this event looks right up my street but it’s a shame it’s not a full marathon, don’t beat yourself up about the time, it’s a good way to spend 7hrs

[@julianberry]

Thanks Thomas - there's the 50k if you fancy a longer distance...! By the way, thanks for your Norfolk marathon video a while ago, and your cycle trip - helped me to choose last months Norfolk half!

[@reluctantfellrunner]

Fantastic effort. Great place for it.

[@julianberry]

Thank you! It is a lovely coastline!

Julian, Are you using a HR strap or arm band. I find my HR spikes when using my watch, sometimes its a strange phenomenon called Cadence Lock, as the watch moves on your wrist it can sync the HR with your Cadence instead of a true HR. Usually easy to identify if you walk for a few strides your HR will suddenly drop back down rather than gently drop. Great video and info as usual.

[@julianberry]

Thanks for this - no strap, just the watch. I'd not heard of cadence lock, but my experience is that the watch is pretty good! But I will watch out for that!

[@shropshirecycle]

I'm intrigued how long have you been running, & did you transition from normal running to trail/ ultra Some real World advice would be really appreciated 😊

[@julianberry]

Great question! I started about 12 years ago, aged 49, couch to 5k on roads - why don't I do a short video on my journey?

[@shropshirecycle]

@@julianberry that's a good idea, I am 55i want to do a mini ultra, but all the YT vids aren't really for the more mature runner(old). Even been a glasses wearer has issues when running. ☺️☺️☺️
