Six Races in Six Weeks!! The Final!! // Will MARM Reign Supreme? // Dymock Half Marathon Race Vlog!

A long slog, but the final race in 6 in 6 is here!!
Will it be MARM, or his running watch Gove the Garmin prove the ultimate predictor?
Is this a mystery that will finally be solved or will it need the murder casebook?
The ghosts of the Dymock Poets are watching on...

Awesome achievement 🎉 Nothing to do with the running but two things I hate. Pretend Cornish pasties that couldn't even pass as a Ginsters which shouldn't be uttered in Cornwall 😉 and hot as in scolding burnt milk lattes that are made badly 😢

[@middleagedrunningman]

Right there with you on both counts Tim. Great name by the way.

[@th25795]

Congrats on the 6 in 6! Very enjoyable series :) Tom

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks for watching Tom!

[@chrislowry8863]

Well done re the 6 in 6. And Lil doing the park runs, that relegates me another place in the Croft running league tables 😂😂

[@middleagedrunningman]

Always number one Chris!!

[@tworunningbrooms]

We knew the game was up for Gove when he stood down at Surrey Heath. Lovely route that. We've stopped off at Much Marcle on our tours of the English countryside. Never realised the famous connection.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Lovely place….unfortunate connection…

[@thetimoneers]

My favourite must be of the six must be Naseby, your second podium place terrific achievement.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Hearty. I love Nase-o too.

[@Run_Like_a_T-Rex]

Incredible effort, Tim! enjoy your week off for half term and a Sunday off before the Two Castles! I think Shires and Spires was the best race but all great race VLOGs and brilliant performances! See on 9th June 🦖

[@middleagedrunningman]

See you there Dave!!

[@nicmarlow6388]

excellent series Marm, well done on not only beating Gove but sticking these out and getting some super impressive finishes! I am mightily relieved that those poor little ducklings survived, proper heart in mouth moment!! what's next for MARM then? I mean, there are 6 months left of the year, so perhaps 6 ultras in 6?? 🤷‍♀

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Nic. Keeping busy. 16 races left in 2024!!! 😳

[@nicmarlow6388]

@@middleagedrunningman crikey!! 😮 looking forward to the content tho! 👌🏻

[@daveyearp1499]

A lovely series of videos, always impressed with your pace whilst filming etc, respect 👍 Think I have an old 70's 7” vinyl somewhere by Marm and the Marmalettes. Keep ‘em coming ..AMSSG !

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Davey and the AMSSG. Dig out that vinyl!!

[@AndrewBush_XK]

Well done Tim, see you at the Two Castles.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Cheers Andy. Really looking forward to that one!

[@clare9695]

Well done on 6 out of 6 and beating Gove. My favourite has to be Worcester and the poo predicament - not something most running youtubers care to share with their viewers, but you always keep it real Marm. So glad to see the wee ducklings survived, a close call.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Ducklings and Poo. If only I'd known that was the winning combo when I first started the channel...

[@raleyadventures]

A great series to watch and cant believe youre still standing after that aha, you have been running seriously well lately, see you next week 🤜🤜🔥🔥

[@middleagedrunningman]

See you at the Castle Ryan!!

[@JCeeeeeee.]

After leaving Oxford I lived in Worcester for a few years and in 1994 we went to Gloucester for a party (it was at an amusement arcade..... a different age) and on the way back we walked passed Cromwell street and it was all cordoned off as they had arrested Fred just the week before, it was dead quiet and quite eerie. 5th thats awesome, so 6 in 6 was quite do'able!

[@middleagedrunningman]

Eerie moments JC. Would have thought they might change the street name.

[@gunjafpv]

Wooohoo Gove is and always will be a loser. Well done. Great series, good luck with the future running and look forward to the next

[@middleagedrunningman]

"Gove is and always will be a loser". Made me LOL.

[@trueredred859]

Commiserations on missing out on the magnifying glass 🔍 🔎

[@middleagedrunningman]

Gutted. You don’t get over knocks like that.

[@alanmcdougall8228]

Congrats on your 6 in 6 MARM, maybe have a rest for a few weeks now though!

[@middleagedrunningman]

At least a couple of weeks Alan!

[@lighteningbob1697]

Saw Jimmy Saville out jogging a few times here in Leeds, not very often just now and then, now and then.

[@middleagedrunningman]

You’re better than that Bob.

Wooohoo 3 out of 3 for me in this week's KC or C in so happy. Have been awful previous weeks so....

[@middleagedrunningman]

Pleased for you my friend. I know it can hit players hard.

[@LauraPaterson-ii8zj]

Well done, Tim!! Amazing achievement! Hopefully i'll start a race with u at some point, even if j have no chance of finishing it with u!!'xx

[@middleagedrunningman]

Yes!! One day on that starting grid!

[@markg99]

Having managed to get at least one correct answer almost every week in the quiz, I feel like I reached and possibly exceeded my potential. So proud. I have to put Naseby down as my favourite, as I was there on the day to say hello before kick off. Great series, MARM, and a big well done to your daughter 👍🏻🏃‍♂️

[@middleagedrunningman]

Great to meet you at Naseby Mark. One correct every week, is a boast indeed.

[@nice_tri_dan4400]

Excellent work. Could I recommend maybe Chester Half if you do this again next year...

[@middleagedrunningman]

Was on the list Dan. Next year deffo. Really good?

[@clairemilsom7241]

Well done 👏 finishing in my home county. I am amazed how you can run these half’s like it’s a 5k. I’ve got my first half in October and absolutely 💩 myself. I will be sure to double dose on the Imodium on the day

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Claire. Against medical advice - but go treble.

[@natalieclayton6722]

Love watching your stuff marm!! Congrats on 6 in 6 🎉

‘Straight up?’ - made me laugh anyway.

[@andrewgoldsby]

That actually looked like a great place to run! Well done again - hopefully see you at Two Castles!

[@middleagedrunningman]

See you there Andy!! Looks like a classic!

[@mikejames3148]

Brilliant time given the punishment you have given yourself for 6 weeks and sabotage from Govey.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Mike. It’s been punishing.

[@cremins]

Congratulations on completing the 6 in 6. I've really enjoyed the series. Naysby would have to be my favourite episode. I am genuinely impressed that you've recovered after each race to come back and put in a solid shift each week.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Neil. I suppose it’s only like intense training?

[@deansummerton2577]

What a way to finish 6 in 6!! Another excellent time Tim. Brilliant to see your daughter at Parkrun. We've got children from our school into Parkrun which is lovely to see. Best wishes 👏👏

[@middleagedrunningman]

Great to see them starting early. Lifelong passion hopefully.

[@bassbelch717]

Fantastic effort for the 6 in 6. Will it be 12 in 12 next year?! Enjoyed all the videos, think Naseby was the favourite.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Belchy. Working on new content…

[@helenbaker8480]

Well done on the 6. See you at 2 castles,have you got your club vest ready to get you to the front of the line up,club runners enter first 😅

[@middleagedrunningman]

Haven’t got a club top!!! Will wear my MARM t shirt…. Same thing….

[@vanessamartinez4917]

Congratulations on 5th place, 6 out of 6, your daughter’s run, all the duckling survivors and beating Gove! Phew, that’s a lot for one weekend. I got 1 right on Career vs Korea. 😂 Looking forward to whatever runs/races you’ve got scheduled for the year. Party on MARM! 🎉😂👍🏼

Thanks Vanessa. Those ducklings...Edge of the seat moments.

See you there. Looking forward to it!

[@gavinbruce-thegreyrunner5581]

Great running and great series. Really enjoyed it. Magic stuff Tim.(I honestly don’t think I got one career/korea question right!!).

[@middleagedrunningman]

Cheers Gav, thanks for the staunch support. Never got one right? Quite a stat!

[@jonathanwake2964]

Great video as usual. Congratulations on doing your 6/6 weeks. Thankfully you didn’t get out that shocking London Landmarks shirt you bought 😂 My favourite was Naseby Shires & Spires. I will definitely do that next year. Just booked The amazing Northampton Half for September. Hopefully see you one of these days. Ps say well done to your Lilly. Great effort for her first Parkrun.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Jonathan! Never miss the chance for a Shires. Northampton is good too!

[@ianl4518]

Well done Tim. Coventry was my favourite. Ducking hell, that was a close call with the van! Well done to your daughter, daddy/Daughter runs are great. My 10yr old ran her 83rd 5km parkrun on Saturday, she's down to 22.58 now and showing Dad the way home more often than not. 🤦‍♂

[@middleagedrunningman]

83rd parkrun?? At 10?? That's incredible. Will give her a shout out. Proud moments Ian.

[@user-qb8zh8kc2e]

Great video and huge well done on completing the 6-in-6! I did very similar and completed a 5-in-5 the other week so you went one better! Ran Stratford, Coventry and Birmingham with you but also did Manchester and Leeds Marathons too. Good luck with the next challenge, 7-in-7 maybe?

[@middleagedrunningman]

13 in 13 next year.... Haven't thought it through. Thanks for the continued support for MARM!

[@andyhuxley6133]

Congratulations on your 6/6 takes some doing that especially at your pace. Keep up with the videos 👍

[@middleagedrunningman]

Will do Andy!! Thanks for sticking with the channel.

[@Journeys_of_lee]

"I only needed Myra Hindley" 🤣🤣🤣I used to swop footies stickers at school , Marm is on another level , I was rolling around at that. Loved the 6 in 6. Id say Naseby was my fav. Top effort yet again mate, excellent running and result 👊

[@middleagedrunningman]

Cheers Journey. Playground stuff. Swaps for John Christie and Peter Sutcliffe.

[@Journeys_of_lee]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🫣🫣🫣FFS 🤦😱😱😱 your banter is brilliant - all the best mate 👊👍🏻

[@davebowerman9869]

Loved all 6 and happy ducking 5th place. Doing us elders proud.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Cheers Dave. Top 3 was almost in my grasp... Almost.

[@SAMBAM-Gets-It]

The Strensham Services on the opposite side is much better, but nothing compares to Gloucester! I did poorly on the Quiz finale this week, getting a Zero out of Three!

[@middleagedrunningman]

Gloucester is the golden goose. Farm shop? Luxury motoring. Sorry about Quiz. #thatssport

[@rrevdog9482]

Looked like a great course! Well done! May see you at 2 castles but may have eaten and drank too much ..in which case maybe 2025....

[@middleagedrunningman]

See you at the Castles Revd!

[@TomAt1337]

It's a bit sad that the 6 in 6 saga has ended, but what a journey that was! Top job Marm, truly well done, and already looking forward to what's coming up next. Also, congrats to your daughter, she will be pacing you in no time I think. Shires and Spires was my favourite one.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Tom. 13 in 13 in 2025?

[@TomAt1337]

Ambitious, I like it. Have you not done 52 halfs in a year before?

[@middleagedrunningman]

On it

[@benandmichelleoliver1125]

Congratulations. 6 in 6... never in doubt that you would beat Gove

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Olivers... Gove is vanquished.

[@markcameron3]

Was waiting for you to be pulled over for the headphones and then for you to have to explain your bone condensing headphones to them 😂

[@middleagedrunningman]

They were in no mood for explanations Mark. Traffic needed to be managed.

[@markb329]

You can't stop them Julian!

[@alanwetherelt7155]

Yep another great watch , damn good stuff 6 in 6

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks for continuing to support Alan!

[@markfoz7248]

Disappointed with the final career, bet my house on it being Korea. Rewound it 5 times but it just increased my frustration so had a sit on the back step with a Rich Tea.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Never frustrating with a Rich Tea.

[@markb329]

Superb. My favorite race was deffo the Shires and Spires because a) it was a last minute entry to support a mate doing the ultra - we only deiced to do it on the previous Thursday - and we had such a laugh (not supporting our mate at all in the end because they set us off in different waves) and b) discovering your channel the day before meeting you. Thanks for the mention, would you believe it, I'm doing Two castles too!

[@middleagedrunningman]

See you there again Mark. Where else would we both be on a Sunday?

[@markb329]

@@middleagedrunningman The Two Castles was what got me into running 17 years ago. I went to see my brothers run it and thought, I could do this the rest is history. We try and do it every year as a family event.

When my kid get a bit older, so will we.

Great Achievement MARM.. 👍👌 Loved the voice over!.. Missing your on screen, split times... 🤪 Top Running again to end the 6 in 6 series.... 👍👌

Thanks Pete. Was trying to create tension with no split times... Did it work?
