I tried trail running with GB athletes (Lake District)

Trail running with GB athletes at Wasdale Head in the Lake District. A great spot for hiking, we chose to run a 19km route that took us from Wastwater up the shoulder of Great Gable, over to Kirk Fell, followed by Pillar, Scoat Fell, Red Pike and finally, Yewbarrow. With views over to Scafell Pike, this was an incredible experience, though also absolutely shattering. Great to finally do a touch of van life in Wrynose Pass in the JOG ON van.

You know your in the rough countryside when the sheep are the ones heckling you. Great videography and excellent running

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers McCarthy 🏃‍♂️ 🧡

[@UDR-Channel]

Ohhh wow you really managed to.capture exactly how tough this sort of running is. I.recently ran a 50k in the Lakes with 2.7k of vertical and it was very similar to what you experienced here. 7 hours it took me to complete and its just soooo different to anything id done before. Superb video !!

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you for watching. The legs were dead after this but what adventures one can have. Appreciate the comment. Best of luck with your running. Harry

[@davidjuson5608]

Another entertaining jog Harry. With enhanced scenery. You are a great example, but if I ever take that particular route it will be wearing hiking boots. The 26 metre elevation from the Flats to the third kilometre marker on Southampton parkrun is enough for my tired old running legs. Keep up the good work.

[@SuperconsoleGaming]

New to your channel, but love how down-to-earth & fun your running videos are :) An amazing run!

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you, that's appreciated

[@bazgreen6054]

Great video Harry - always amuses me to what the mountain goats athletes consider "really quite runnable" terrain. Love it, subscribed!

[@thisisjogon]

Baz, it’s greatly appreciated. Absolutely, it would seem it’s all perspective in the world of hill running: some think of mountains as a light warm up whilst others think about their own drive as a bit steep. Thanks for subscribing and welcome. Harry

[@barnabybeere1557]

An epic run, not surprised your quads were done in, amazed that you managed the kettlebell workout the next day!

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers Barnaby 🧡

[@charmiansteven6208]

Fantastic Harry- you did it! Wonderful views and achievement

[@kerrypowell38]

Brilliant Harry! What incredible views!

[@thisisjogon]

🧡

[@flash_b_3602]

Another great one Harry. I love fell running, but it’s hard to explain to someone how painful yet enjoyable it can be. I’m always in awe of the speed and fitness of so many fell runners…lungs on legs.

[@thisisjogon]

Nuts isn't it

[@AdamSielicki]

Gotta say that thumbnail is absolutely amazing

[@thisisjogon]

Appreciate that Adam, literally about to click publish on a new video - the thumbnail is quite different from this one!

Haha Harry..... That was painfully hilarious!!🤣🤣🤣❣

Glad you enjoyed it Stuart

[@colinsawyer9391]

Another great video ... that was some brutal elevation no wonder your quads felt dead. Ran leg 1 of the Cotswolds Way Relay on Saturday, 19k also, but only a measley 448m elevation gain. Looking forward to the next video 🎬👍

[@thisisjogon]

That's awesome Colin - a large section of the Cotswold Way is my home turf. 102 miles of some beautiful English countryside. Hope the family are well Harry

[@colinsawyer9391]

@@thisisjogon Family all good thanks Harry, hope same with TeamMorgan. Chipping Campden - Stanway House was my leg, whilst I didn't appreciate a 3am alarm to make the 7am start the route itself more than made up for it. Even on a drizzly & misty Saturday morning it was a fabulous place to run.

[@sswwiinnccee]

I’ve just got back from the French alps. Being climbing and trail running for a few weeks. I’ve got blisters the size of my heals but one day back and I’m already feeling the alpine withdrawals. This looks like my kinda pain. I’ll be putting this on my to do list for sure. Great effort buddy and great video. Keep up the good work and keep those knees up 🏃🏻💨

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you so much, hoping you've found more adventures since writing this comment

[@sswwiinnccee]

@@thisisjogon just a cheeky climbing weekend in the lakes district. I started working the harvest season 2 days after writing that, working 66 hour weeks and walking up to 12 marathons a month on my step counter so little time and energy for adventures. The season is just finishing now and I can hear the mountains calling me. Time to dust off the running shoes 🏃🏻💨

[@WAATANG]

4:54 😂 nice to see this after hearing you talk about it. Looks like hard work!

[@thisisjogon]

I was a human running with gods. Thank you for watching

[@ba7025]

The runner at 3.26 ( no shirt) is Joe Dugdale under 23 champion and winner of many quality fell/mountain races! He's a top bloke too 😃

[@thisisjogon]

Amazing, thank you for letting us know What a runner.

[@RunningOffGrid]

Great video Harry but the downs are the best part!

[@thisisjogon]

I’ve enjoyed the odd down in my time, but these were mildly absurd. Just the steepness, required a constant tense of the quad which lead to real leg fatigue. Hell of an adventure.

[@chrissteer6402]

What a beautiful video. Snowdonia calls me.

[@thisisjogon]

Go for it, be safe and enjoy

[@sallylovesparkrun]

Another great video Harry. As for it being hard... your thoughts will be turning to the Bob Graham Round before you know it ;)

[@thisisjogon]

Makes one wonder how Bob Graham participants keep their legs by the end of it. Thanks for watching Sally

[@debbiedavies5473]

Howling. Honestly, really made me chuckle. Often get asked why I don't run fast. Yeah vertical kilometre every few miles might be the reason. You should give the edale skyline challenge a try.

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you Debbie, I laughed after it was over. Absolutely, some superb race options out there. Harry

[@bronaghpatterson5605]

as a fan of flatter runs I'm very impressed!

[@thisisjogon]

This was very tough

[@localresident6236]

@thisisjogon Great video! Would love to see more trails! And I’d love to see you try Lyme Park Park Run!! Not the hardest, but certainly in the top 10 🎉

[@thisisjogon]

Cheers for watching 👋

[@georgesheffield1580]

There is a run from Aspin to Crested Butte, one fron Lake city to Silverton and a 100 miler ( aprox 160 km ) near Salt Lake city. My favorite is up 1 end of Sandia pk in Albuquerque along the top to the other end then back down .

[@thisisjogon]

Will have to check it out

[@averageguy8090]

So underrated

[@thisisjogon]

The channel? Thank you if so haha Appreciate you watching and commenting All the best Harry

[@outinthesun]

Dam that's not an easy thing to go do

[@thisisjogon]

It really wasn’t

[@PROBETTGUITARS]

The Bourne Woods are quite hilly enough for me I think!

[@thisisjogon]

Absolutely - fells such as Great Gable, you realise they really are quite massive when you’re there looking up at them

[@jamstaa69]

Tiring but soo good isn’t it.. Just did my first “run” to summit of Snowdon via Rangers path, and down the Llanberis path.. Lot to be said for a good power hike and walking poles 😬.. legs felt so much better on the way down when you finally get to flatter sections and you can let the brakes off a bit.. didn’t stop me tripping due to tired quads and taking a dive though, probably my first “this is gonna hurt” fall whilst running.. now nursing a bruised rib and an offending stubbed purple toe.. I’d do it all again tomorrow… if I could 😂 without the dive hopefully.

[@thisisjogon]

Great comment - and a great anecdote. I’ve fallen on Snowdon the last 3 times I climbed it. Likewise, the quads just not functioning quite the same after a few hours. Thanks for watching jamstaa69 it’s appreciated, all the best with future mountains you run up! Harry

[@jugglingjunky]

Great effort on keeping up with the mountain goats. To be fair, your pace was good - its pretty much Bob Graham Round pace - there's a challenge for you ...

[@thisisjogon]

Thank you, Ha. I must bow to the Bob Graham - what a challenge that is. Thank you for watching

[@wideawake914]

The only kettle I will grab will have a spout on it.

[@thisisjogon]

Great comment

[@harrypink715]

What running vest are you using? Cheers

[@thisisjogon]

Hey Harry (great name) It’s a Salomon Adv Skin 12 This one is from around 2 years ago but the design won’t have changed much. I’d recommend it it’s been excellent for my long runs. All the best, Harry

[@Ali94749]

Do you think this kind of running will make you faster on the road? I have a 3 year plan starting in 2023 to run a sub3 marathon and need to make some training plans!

[@thisisjogon]

It’s an interesting question, some believe so, others will stay away from it. My gut feeling it once a week this would be beneficial but it’s different for everyone

[@emmaandrews756]

OOF that guy's thighs, I'm blessed enough to see them everyday♥️

If he watches this video, then it’s all been worth it for that alone Emma

@@thisisjogon he came across this video by accident and was quite surprised

[@thisisjogon]

@@emmaandrews756 absolutely amazing. Say hello and thanks for stopping by to explain what he was doing.

[@orangeInc311]

@@emmaandrews756 could you please explain the game in more detail and who organises it?

[@snazzycracker2]

To be fair to you, you were running with far more weight in your back pack than they were. It's a lot easier to run light in the mountains. You need a high lactic acid threshold too, and they will have developed this over time, you won't have even with lots of mountain hiking etc, it requires speed over terrain to do it, or a big up climb as you discovered.

[@thisisjogon]

Appreciate you watching - it was only a light rain coat and spare top that filled up pretty much my entire ultra vest so it looks I'm carrying a lot more than I was. I think we can blame the fitness even more ha Thanks for commenting Plant Based Guru, all the best with your own adventures. Harry

[@Jo3sX]

At least by doing Yewbarrow last you get to forget about how tired you are because your bricking yourself whilst climbing Stirrup Crag.

[@thisisjogon]

Well exactly, it’s all about the distraction techniques Joel
