Oh this is one of your best videos in a while .. hysterical

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Lizzie!! Glad you enjoyed it!! (Share with your pals)

[@Journeyoflee]

Hahahaha this is becoming a classic third time I’ve been back to watch it. Absolute belter this 😂😂

[@middleagedrunningman]

Cheers Journey. It was a real favourite.

[@andrewgoldsby]

Well done Tim! That looked equally amazing and brutal. Highlight though is finally seeing you get your mug!

[@middleagedrunningman]

The mug made it all worthwhile. Not walking too well this morning. One more run left this year!

[@petehoye]

Well worth the wait, So funny..😝🤣😂😝

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks for your support as ever Pete!! Think I'm going to stick to the tarmac in future!

[@rrevdog9482]

Best video yet marm. Loved the caravan story at mile 25😂😂😂 Great effort getting round!

[@middleagedrunningman]

Rrevdog!! Who doesn't love a caravan tale? Really chuffed you liked it. (Thought that a longer video would surely expose the content as the utter tosh that it is)

[@patoflaherty5582]

So funny 😂

[@sportspodiatryinfouk]

“Welcome to Gloucestershire; home of cheese, and Fred West” 😂😂😂 👏🏻

[@middleagedrunningman]

Factual. I like viewers to learn as well as enjoy.

[@1972njm]

Brilliant 🤣👍👍

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks!! One of my faves that one.

[@OsloVM60-64]

You are a refreshing voice among all the other running channels on You tube. Enjoyable😅

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Oslo!! There's another quote that I will be immortalising!

[@davidhayward1261]

Brilliant 🎉absolutely loved it. A massive well done 👍🏃🏻‍♂️ top man 🧍‍♂️

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks David. One of my favourites that one!

[@michelleganson1519]

I almost fell off the treadmill laughing so hard. 😂

[@Run_Like_a_T-Rex]

Brilliant video! Looked a good event. Well done!

[@middleagedrunningman]

Was a cracker T-Rex. Highly recommended.

[@simonbright8320]

Best one yet!

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Simon!! Loved this race.

[@andyhuxley6133]

Another great video well done on the run. Looked a tough one

[@middleagedrunningman]

Cheers Andy. Bit of a slog mate. Fuelled by wine gums and wiglets in the end.

[@Dmasson14]

Great video, and some nice one liners. I especially liked the reference to Fred West 🤣🤣🤣 good time too considering the conditions.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks mate!! I try to reference popular culture, just so the videos don’t date over time…😂

[@007plasterman]

Absolutely brilliant 😂

[@middleagedrunningman]

007 Plasterman!! What a handle!! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@2spoons]

4:17:39 Hey thats a well rewarded and fast Trail Marathon..... I ran Snowdon's Trail Marathon and finished very comfortably twice as slow as you including ambulance 😂🤣 got the medal...... !!!

[@middleagedrunningman]

Medal well worth receiving spoons…. Assume joking about the ambulance….

[@clairehoward550]

Hauntingly beautiful west country singalong

[@middleagedrunningman]

Something about Broadway….always beings Eminem to mind.

[@Dr_Dunkles]

Who gave you access to the noticeboard? Nans now got 5 telephone poles in the front garden. Cheers Tim, great idea.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Dunkles…. FIVE???? She must have done badly in the village popularity contest!!! Thanks for watching!

[@Laughinggravy857]

Brilliant 👍

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Laughing!! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@susanhunt751]

Genius! 😆Only thing not to love was that I started watching this at breakfast (taking a risk with mealtime viewing after seeing the fisherman's toilet in a different video 😱) and then made myself late for work. I did Broadway Marathon a couple of years ago and had a proper tantrum after taking a wrong turn. Stunning course but I hated it for being a race - 4:17 is incredible!

[@middleagedrunningman]

It’s a belter isn’t it?? But one tough mistress. Nothing worse than a wrong turn! Glad you enjoyed the video!! Thanks for watching….

[@reluctantfellrunner]

Through 1000 subscribers MARM well done. Best wishes out there.

[@middleagedrunningman]

And you Reluctant!! Thanks for support as ever.

[@holesinthenarrative816]

Brilliant. 👌🏻

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Holes. I love one word reviews like that!!

[@Mack.Tracks]

Tremendous video and effort, dudey!

[@middleagedrunningman]

Big Thanks Mac!!

[@Mrjay684]

Well done tim, i did the marathon last year, its a beautiful cotswolds run, but its by no means easy, the downhill at mile 8 is an ankle cracker! Then the tarmac after the castle that just never ends. Its brutal.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Jay - yep - “The Ankle Cracker” will do a feature on it next year - is a challenge…. But the tarmac far worse. That bit nearly finished me!! See you next year?

[@analprobe1717729]

Another class video…funny as f…👍👍👍

[@middleagedrunningman]

It’s Probe!! Thanks Anal, my man. Great to have your support!!

[@garythompson3597]

Another great video 😂😂😂… probably the best so far! All the family enjoyed it. Jokes aside. That looked bloody tough. Huge congratulations on a superb performance

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Gaz. Not really the best showing from me - but I enjoyed it. Makes me grin quite widely to think the family are actually watching it!!!

[@garythompson3597]

@@middleagedrunningman essential family viewing on a Sunday evening. Goes perfectly with a few beers and a bag of nuts! How things have changed from watching bullseye on a Sunday teatime 😂😂🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[@middleagedrunningman]

“Settle in Nigel. Listen to Tony.”

[@sk9639239]

Well done, Tim. I just want to say, it's was an honour to meet you . Best video!!

[@middleagedrunningman]

Tall man at the start??? We spoke in the Hall?? Lovely to meet you too. Hope the race went well?

[@sk9639239]

Yes , a tall man with a foreign accent😂. it was my first marathon in my life 😊. 31st very happy, thanks. Hope to see you next time . Good luck 👍

[@middleagedrunningman]

@sk9639239 see you soon my friend!! Well done Sylus!! Great to shake hands!!

[@nzthebeef]

Well done. I ran the Broadway half marathon and that was enough

[@middleagedrunningman]

Did the half last year. Loved it. In hindsight….If it ain’t broke….

[@chrislowry8863]

Excellent Mr Middle Aged Running Man, your best one yet. Thought you might be telling a few porkies, but then I checked on the cars on your driveway 🤪🤪. Hope the recovery going well.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Chris!! The stairs have been a bit of an issue today! Thankfully the dogs are nice and tired... someone took them for a long walk today!!

[@nickbishop9259]

Great running! Back next year? Tore my calf muscle so had to miss this year, should be there next year though 🤞

[@middleagedrunningman]

Back next year Bish. Half only though. Loved the race. Great people organising. Hope the injury gets better soon. Cornwall again this summer?

[@thethompsonsgotagopro.]

Loved it! Bloody brilliant, well done. Will you do it again next year?

[@middleagedrunningman]

Will switch back to the Half Marathon again in 2024 I think Gaz!! It's a great race and the finish line knows when it's sensible to appear!

[@emmarunyeard6832]

What 3 words.. Don't. Even... 😂

[@corinnenunn8326]

Laughing my socks off. 😂.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Running socks, or loungewear?

[@JCeeeeeee.]

That looked pretty tough, not a bad time though! But looked beautiful, similiar to the Bodmin Beast in that respect, I always get frustrated that you cant smash the downhills on trail.

[@middleagedrunningman]

The Bodmin Beast!! That sounds like an adventure! My caravan lives permanently in Looe. Might give it a bash. Downhills?? Too worried about doing myself an injury and being forced to download "What 3 Words".

[@Timtherunner]

If you're in an emergency call 999 💀😂

[@middleagedrunningman]

Solid advice.

[@eddycurrant1380]

i am new to the army and may not even qualify, but have you ever taken a dive during a piece to camera and done the just 3 words thing because it would make a cracking piece of entertainment for me , especially if a chopper was involved. (sorry if you already did this in a video , haven't done the back catalog yet)

[@middleagedrunningman]

Eddy!! No idea what this is or means…. But will have a go.

[@thetimoneers]

The Mug is secured “4.17 “ and still got breath to talk - still on the Broadway FB notice board and moving up the “ polls“ ( have I got that wrong ) and judging by the comments well received by the cognoscenti. Looking forward to the 2023 Review after the last marathon of the year.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Hearty. Hope your fibre is up to speed. It’s worth fighting for.

[@ggbarnum765]

The way you were talking I thought you were doing badly and then you finish 15th... nice job. Also why is there a handbag on the gas hob?

[@middleagedrunningman]

Fancied something a bit different for tea.

[@williamthompson.585]

🤣🤣🤣brilliant 🙈

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks William!! Glad you liked it. JUST started walking properly again.

[@williamthompson.585]

@@middleagedrunningman it gets worse the older you get my friend 🫣🤣🤣

[@11shetland]

Who’s Fred West? 🤔

[@middleagedrunningman]

Pop him into Google…. Not a nice man as it turns out.

[@gavinbruce-thegreyrunner5581]

Why is there an Assassin’s Creed insignia on your kitchen door?

[@middleagedrunningman]

Cheers Grey!! not sure about the insignia....going to assume you are referring to the wife's holiday shopping tat!!

[@jimbrace5102]

The crown an trumpet has gained a bad reputation since your escapades. It now employs bouncers to keep the riff raff out like you and rita and the anti pole brigade .🤴🎺

[@middleagedrunningman]

It needs to Jim. High speed internet is no excuse for anarchy.

[@reluctantfellrunner]

They should never have telegraphed what they were going to do.

[@middleagedrunningman]

Correct. They should have connected with the public.

[@carlm8345]

The lovely family are accepting no responsibility for your lack of direction 😉

[@middleagedrunningman]

Thanks Carl. I will accept hand written letters of apology from the children and a signed statement from your wife to Ian and Emma telling them I was in the lead. (Great to meet you!)
