I'm Moving To London...

[@ferguscrawley95]

HEADS UP - the video cuts at 9:39 but should have just under 2 mins more... Can't figure out at all why YT isn't processing that last bit and we're already live sooo summary: - If you're London based, next event live in the description, and please comment with what you want more of from a community POV: buytickets.at/omniaperformance/1287574 - I ramble about the importance of reflecting on how you interact with YOUR environments, and that sometimes change can be massive. - I probably repeat myself. - I lol at the fact that nothing keeps a person accountable like a YT video a week, so we're in this together. - I reiterate for you to like, comment, and subscribe. No idea why that has happened, apologies! Will try and sort in KZbin editor 🤔

[@pmacd]

Epic cliffhanger though 😂 from a 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in London.. welcome and good luck!

[@jonholman2000]

Welcome to London. Great to have you here, if only a couple of days a week (which is actually the perfect amount of time to make the most of the working week now in town). Looking forward to more community events which I think will be the key for driving activity here

[@michaelhooley]

Your greatest endurance challenge yet. A London morning commute…

[@ferguscrawley95]

In the same day as having my watch stolen #hybrid

[@MegaWatsonator]

@@ferguscrawley95 want to hear about that story haha

[@moss.neobisid]

I left Edinburgh mid 2022 and I miss the pentlands more than I can express

[@nickmulligan9235]

Great news Fergus. Welcome back to old London Town. Looking forward to seeing you again soon mate

[@samchambers7135]

Sounds like a great plan, fair play. Also, cheers for opening up a little on your struggles with excitement to train recently. Found it super relatable and it's made me feel A LOT better. Will definitely be taking your tips on board!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks for watching! Ah glad to hear my man, hope you’re in a good place 🤝

[@pflexfituk]

I made a similar move, left Edinburgh for London and lived there for a period. I kind of brushed Edinburgh off as being too small and almost boring dare I say it. It's totally not when you go somewhere else, you cherish returning again! Anyone who says London is a shithole, well it is what you make it and what your unique circumstances are. I lived in North London, and totally rate that area. After a while, I moved back to Edinburgh and hop down there a couple times a month for work. Suits me well now. But for sure, if you like just being able to charge out the door on the bike or up a hill, Edinburgh is definitely the better fit. You'll get the best of both worlds I am sure.

[@david-jr5fn]

You could probably find somewhere in London or just out of that would give you both options, with regards to London, location, location, location has because more important then ever before choose wisely because frankly some parts are deteriorating fast.

[@UncommonCustom]

Pretty interesting to see how many people comment based on the title of the video and clearly haven't watched it. Community engagement is community engagement though, I suppose 😅 Excited to see this next adventure Fergus!

[@ferguscrawley95]

‘I’m splitting my time between Edinburgh and London as I already do but have decided to get myself a permanent base there’ doesn’t quite have the same pull 😂 Thank you very much 🤝

[@gowanlock]

Jeez Fergus. Sacrificing scotland is a hell of a thing. London is great on the surface. Ive never met somebody who lived there that ever wanted to stay.

[@06alepea1]

You must not have met many people who live in London, then. I live in London and a good proportion of people love it here.

[@kristinegoodman7534]

Good luck Fergus! Sounds like you have a good plan as usual.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thank you! A plan indeed 👀

[@MatthewLacey-wz4gu]

The best of both worlds. Feeling pretty jealous. I would only say to think about all the ways to reduce the commute between each place as with it being a more regular occurence it needs to be streamlined

[@ferguscrawley95]

It’s fairly streamlined already haha! I’ve got my timings and packing systems etc down to a tee - but good lord it’ll be much easier when I can leave stuff (training kit etc) in London!

[@stebeardX]

You must be fookin mad lad!! good luck though. cheers

[@ferguscrawley95]

If I’m down 6-10 days/month anyway, makes sense to have a base!

[@TheEddym55]

Definitely try and work something out with the Hackney half. The amount of people and attention at that event is crazy. Maybe a big lift before hand or something like that

[@conordempsey8854]

Hope to see you for some London track sessions as well as the low and slow !

[@ferguscrawley95]

100% - work in progress to get a cadence nailed down!

[@williamthompson2099]

Just moved back to the UK from Australia, moving to Edinburgh this month! Cant wait to get up there and training - hope to see you in some Edinburgh based events is the Monday night still running? Cheers to new adventures!

[@UrSturdyWing]

Lots of London haters. Edinburgh man who’s moved to London almost a year ago. Absolutely love it, so many interesting people and things to do are off the charts. Take care and enjoy 💪🏼

[@KrystenELawrence]

Havent attended any if the runs because you go too fast for me but anything strength based (not metcons) I would really enjoy attending. Even though I moving out of London, I will stil be back 2 days a week to be in the office

[@Thorsten89342]

Personally I can’t think of anywhere I would like to live less than London, but hey, you do you. Stay safe!

[@Harry._.Thompson]

well if u have money and ae young, then it will be very fun

[@liam210793]

Have only been watching for a few months but as a new runner i find your videos so motivating and interesting especially from a hybrid interest. The video did cut off abruptly at the end mid sentence by the way.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Good man thanks for watching! I know how annoying 🥲 (see pinned comment)

[@zhuochen8092]

Hi, Fergus. I have been watching your videos and learning from you for the past weeks. As someone who has never visited the UK, I have fallen in love with Scotland just by watching your videos. I also feel the reasons you listed are a true reflection of your current mindset, and they've helped me figure out my own situation and emotions to some degree. I believe the decision would benefit your mental health, business, and family. I hope you can make me look forward to visiting London as well!

[@zhuochen8092]

"- I ramble about the importance of reflecting on how you interact with YOUR environments, and that sometimes change can be massive." Just saw this up there. Word.

[@shreyanssanghrajka6376]

Welcome to a London 😂. Most of us wanna leave London and travel to places Edinburgh not the opposite but excited to see what's next.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Dare I say… Go elsewhere then? (In the spirit of the conversation of this video - if you watched it in full?)

[@nickw1809]

I like to dip in and out of London too, once a year seems to suit my needs

[@ferguscrawley95]

For 1 day, or 364 days, is the question though 🤔

[@huk17]

London is getting a lot of shit in this comment section, and I hear everyone. But I don’t necessarily agree, London has got so many young ppl who are turning away from the drink/club heavy social life and towards more outdoorsy vibe. Healthy balance, as you say, is great. And Surrey could be seen as a more bland Scotland monroes …… ??!?!? Ok maybe a stretch, but think it’s not all bad!

[@huk17]

And Fergus, if you do see this, maybe some long cycles around the Surrey hills, Sussex, London-Brighton-London etc could be fun? Nothing better than a long ride in the summer imo

[@christophergarnett-scherer4635]

Welcome

[@ferguscrawley95]

I’ll be in and out as usual, just with an address soon 😂

[@ambroisedelaunay9380]

Please come in Parisssss

[@fitzy4578]

Just moved out of London, absolute hell hole, especially for people who enjoy the outdoors. So good luck!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Did you watch the video?

[@jlolzzzzzzz]

@@ferguscrawley95 😂

[@guvn0rrrrrrrrrr]

Have you bought your Battersea Park uniform yet ? Pure Sport Hoodie and a Signet ring should get you started.

[@ferguscrawley95]

I’m married - so no interest in dynamic dating clubs 😂 (Plus Omnia uniforms on the way)

[@kris1103]

Just checking Fergus, you have been to London right? Why would anyone who enjoys the outdoors want to live there?

[@ferguscrawley95]

For reasons I listed in the full video 🤷‍♂️ (if you watched it for the full explanation?)

[@kris1103]

@ferguscrawley95 I may have commented before watching all the video. Still good for the algorithm!

[@miamidolphinsfan]

Even Fergus makes mistakes....I was beginning to think he was Mr Perfect, and that sounds facecious I know.

[@giantrobot_cf]

Don't forget to pack the half pipe!

[@ferguscrawley95]

I’ll have access for 2/3 of every month still as I said - probably a good ration for injury prevention 😂

[@Jarrosnshajahwh]

London, the busiest city in Europe but the loneliest place on earth

[@ferguscrawley95]

I’ve experienced this in the past for sure - hence the approach I explain in the video, not a good place to not be happy in! Hope all is well 🫡

[@Jarrosnshajahwh]

@@ferguscrawley95 as you said "dipping your toe in and out" is by far the best way ♥️

[@stebeardX]

Are wey at least you havent lost your complete mind hahahaha. cheers

[@ferguscrawley95]

Balance 😂

[@LatimusChadimus]

Is it because of that cat singing Go London 😅

Blimey no one commenting on this saying how shit London is have watched the video.

[@russellturner3602]

London why. Worst place ever

[@Real_Matt]

London is awful man. I lived there for 3 years and it was just terrible.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Sorry to hear that man, where are you now? Did you watch the full video?

[@06alepea1]

Funnily enough I enjoy living in London. Almost like different people like different things.

[@Real_Matt]

@@06alepea1 haha, who asked.

[@TomHassan.]

You’re gunna hate it after 5-6 months. If u even last that long😬😂 I’ve just left

[@ferguscrawley95]

I’m just doing what I’ve already been doing for the past 18 months, but with a permanent base 🤷‍♂️ (and lived in London for 2 years in the past, didn’t hate it, I hated the job I was doing) - always best watching the full video before commenting 👀 Hope you’re enjoying your new location/environment more 🤝
