Stop When You Think You’ve Run For 30 Minutes

[@Pothi90]

Challenge idea: consistant track running. 10 Laps, the person with the lowest difference between fastest and slowest lap time wins.

[@runningchannel]

Oooo great idea!

[@daniel.sandberg.5298]

Then you could just run really slow and never change pace. Simple

[@Pothi90]

@daniel.sandberg.5298 try it at post your results here 😉

[@wietse1113]

I was fully expecting Jess to lose when she said she expected songs to take three minutes each, but I did not expect her to go twenty minutes over 😅

[@runningchannel]

she reallyyyyy over shot 😂

[@wietse1113]

@runningchannel I get it though. Sometimes when the music hits just right and your legs feel good, time absolutely flies ;)

[@adamhenley8295]

“Jess will easily get distracted” I thought I’d wait until the end to defend her - but she even forgot to switch off her watch at the end 😂

[@runningchannel]

she's easily distracted 😂

[@adamhenley8295]

@ at least she finished after 10k unlike Tom’s prediction of 20km The 10 music songs approach was nuts though 😂

[@jeffreyburns5137]

Challenge idea: ask running related trivia questions. Someone gets it wrong, they run a lap. Someone gets it right, they pick someone to run a lap. But they only have x time total, and each lap uses some of the remaining time, when they run out of time, they are eliminated.

[@liamdunn7444]

How about a heart rate zone challenge - e.g run zone 2 without looking at the watch for 30 mins and see how wildly off everyone is

[@thomasconway95]

Challenge idea: stop when you think you've run 10,000 steps!

[@catnipclementine]

If y'all wanted to put "Erotic Pacing" on say, a pair of running socks, I think there's some money to be made!

[@wani1524]

Challenge idea if not done before: pick a time between 30mins to an hour and have one person set the inital distance run during that time period. Then everyone after that needs to run further, lets say an extra 2km, in the same time frame until everyone can't increase the distance anymore. You don't have to do the whole challenge in one day, it can over a week if needed...

[@tmosh55]

You should do a mario kart style race. A regular race but every once in a while you have surprise boxes with a special advantage (or disadvantage). Advantages are better the worse your current position (person in last gets a bike for 2 minutes, etc.)

[@PhilipGoodchild]

Challenge idea: Pick a parkrun course, on a non park run day, start at different points on course, and finish at that point at an agreed time.

[@ivartheboneless1456]

You guys have such a great running family. The challenges are really cool I enjoy them all.

[@runningchannel]

So glad you enjoy our videos!

[@pavlinavitkova866]

I thought that Jess would be counting some ships or boats again, lol 😂

[@sarahswims]

Please do a buggy running challenge! Would love to see what Muggle runners make of it 😄🙌🏻

[@SabrinaScully]

These are my favorite videos

[@runningchannel]

Any challenge suggestions??

[@SabrinaScully]

​@@runningchannel Run until you achieve a certain heart rate!

[@SabrinaScully]

​@@runningchannel everyone tries to stop at a certain distance but everyone is on the same trail/ path at the same time, so there is the added element of "oh, Sarah has stopped, but I think it's a bit further. What should I do?"

[@georgeyboy5256]

Challenge Idea #1: Fartlek training at your agreed paces, make it relative to your pb's. Last to stop/not being able to keep up with your paces wins. Paces could increase relatively after 20mins (so you're not running for hours). Challenge Idea #2: Run a 5k on the road, then run a 5k on the sand/beach, closest time between the 2 runs wins. Could be really harsh and make it a time trial.

[@craigjsanderson]

This video is perfect - it really has it all, erotic pacing, Tom being hilarious (if this hill had rungs it would be a ladder, among others), Jess being super happy the whole time, and James bringing barge science. Love it

[@sam.v4]

new idea: stop when you think you've run for 31 mins

[@cregyn]

Used to run with the method jess used every run for years and can confirm it never ever works 😂

[@yippekiay593]

Challenge idea: Backyard ultra!!! (4.167 mile loop on the hour every hour) Ive signed up for my first in May (GOBYU in Leeds) next year and followed their November race over this weekend. Such a good race concept and equaliser for the slower runners of the group Would be great to see who cpuld do theost laps (aka "Yards")

[@JohnZerrot]

Tom’s “God. My nipples are cold today.” and “My nipples have stopped piercing holes through my tshirt.” ranks up there with Sarah’s “Erotic pace.” from the pod. 😂 0:36

[@jbc1933]

I love these challenges. Easy to watch whilst eating crumpets ❤

[@runningchannel]

Yum! 😋

[@meganhirschi6248]

I think I need to start paying more attention to the sweat trickles now!

[@runningchannel]

Let us know if it works for you 😂

[@catlovett4395]

Love these challenges (was just binging old ones on the treadmill this morning) but I miss Anna! Will she be back on the channel after mat leave? Would love to hear her experience getting back to running postpartum if that’s something she’s open to sharing. Took me a full 2 years to get back at it 😵‍💫🙈🤷🏻

[@AdamJones-p8w]

Not exactly scientific, but if you know your average cadence you could count your steps per minute 30 times. It would probably get you somewhere close to 30 minutes.

[@emankcin1701]

New challenge: run 3 miles in 25 minutes until there is only one competetor left *phew*

[@runningchannel]

Great!

[@mattrobinson5209]

Challenge: 400m, who can get closest to PB mile pace? Here’s the catch: you have to do it directly after a long run

[@runningchannel]

Nice!!

[@kingsley6236]

I love these challenges, getting you pacing right, but it has been done a lot. Could you bring back "Running with..." video. The one with Mark Webber was great, and when Anna did the run with Flora was spot on. Can we have something from when the channel started?

[@runningchannel]

We have the TRC Meets now which covers that kind of content, where they get more time to talk about their story

[@kingsley6236]

@@runningchannel aaahhh ok, it has been a while since I have watched much. Though the running with videos were lots of fun! "Time or distance" "miles or km" things like this were great to watch

[@runningchannel]

We will see what we can do! 😁

[@kingsley6236]

@@runningchannel Fab! Looking forward to it.

[@markh0]

Challenge idea: Create the most erotic pace profile. Sarah get's to decide without knowing who's is who's :P More seriously, I'd love a video where 4-5 of you with very different paces start together with 7:30 min/km pace and then increase it by 30 sec each km. Just seeing the difference of some being totally fine while others are struggling and drop out could be interesting. And if you need to make it competitive you can always set personal goal times based on most recent 10km performance.

[@nidhivaidya6485]

I always root for Tom even though he has the most random tactics

[@emillsommer-kt4mb]

so easy if you can listen to music. lol

[@ThePreethir65]

I’m dying at Jess😂😂

[@will44bott]

How do you answer the phone without seeing the time.....?

[@kenvyn123]

Challenge idea: Who can draw the best picture on their Strava map. (Got the inspiration from taskmaster).

[@runningchannel]

We've done that one!

[@georgeyboy5256]

They did that a few weeks ago.

[@st.peterunner8758]

"Not a phrase" lol

[@richardmorschel6266]

you guys are the best! Did Sarah run NY and how is Anna?

[@runningchannel]

Sadly we didn't run it this year! Did you?

[@richardmorschel6266]

@runningchannel would love to one day. I run the Frankfurt marathon every year. Thanks for the great content!!! I look forward to every episode.

[@Leeroy49]

Ofc music is cheating :) or don't you know how long your favorite songs are at least down to the second? Am I weird, I hope so^^.

[@runningchannel]

It did't work for Jess 😂

[@AngellicAkima]

Arrrrgh! Jess and Sarah swapped clothes! What is the world coming to!?!?!

[@runningchannel]

hahaha
