The HARDEST 11 miles I've Ever Ran! The Pendulum! - Al Pepper Runs

[@vikkisavage4041]

You appear to have become an Internet sensation for the "tie your shoelaces tighter" scene 😅 that legendary film experience was popping up in my newsfeed the last few days ....fame at last 😂👊💪 xx

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha, here’s me thinking I’d be known for winning the Barkley Marathons! Ah well, you take what you can get!

[@NorthernFellRunning]

Brilliant video Al. 👏👏 Thanks for coming along. 😎 Was great seeing you again. Will be in touch with your next mission! 😉🤣🤣👍

[@AlPepperRuns]

My pleasure guys! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Ha, it can’t be harder than this one can it?!

[@nicmarlow6388]

🤣🤣👌👌 superb! (and thanks for showing the medal!) 🙌

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha, you’re welcome! Luckily I remembered as this is a particularly nice one! Super shiny!

[@Ouga_Official]

I only learned about fell running a couple months ago... living in England, I feel that I eventually need to increase my tolerance to running in boggy conditions... I get all the threading and biggest lugs I can get, but hopefully will get my "clergy mud feet" in eventually

[@AlPepperRuns]

Ha! Fell running is definitely part mindset. You’ve got to dive into the first puddle and then keep going from there! Northumbrians seem to be particularly good at it!

[@FilmMyRun]

I want to do that race. Looks awesome

[@AlPepperRuns]

You’ll have to sign up for next year! Would be really fun seeing your take on it!

[@neilcam]

Brutal, but stunning at the same time! I hurt watching it, but would also love to do it, then again, it's a long long way to get to from Oz. (aka, easiest excuse...)

[@AlPepperRuns]

Ha, that’s no excuse! Although that would be some adventure from Oz to Northumberland! It was a really good event, the harder it got the more fun it was!

[@MegaTightMike]

I am so glad I’ve stumbled across this. Fantastic content.

[@AlPepperRuns]

Hey Mike! Really appreciate it, thank you!

[@paulsummerly8203]

You're right Al fell runners are a different breed to us mere mortals.it looked hard but the scenery is amazing I felt your pain sitting on the sofa with a cigar and a bag of revels.thanksagain.😂

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha, mate that sounds class! What are you washing that down with?! Whisky? Beer? Some sort of energy drink?!

[@tommaher1361]

Stop what your doing… Al Pepper upload 🎉

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha, thanks mate!

[@wendymorihovitis5586]

I’m new to the channel and loving all the videos. This one had me laughing out loud as you tried to get your shoe out of the peat bog. Great adventure!

[@AlPepperRuns]

@@wendymorihovitis5586 thanks Wendy! Ha, this one was an experience to say the least! I’m not sure I’ve fully recovered!

[@stephenparkinson4419]

Great vid fella, was a great event. Had 4 days off running this week as quads were trashed from the downhills.

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks mate! The downhills are equally as hard as the uphills! Different challenge, different muscle groups! Well done!

[@ParfTube]

Another top video, that looked brutal - I laughed way more than I should have done at your misfortune with the ‘lost shoe’ incidents! You still managed to get the ‘winning number’ and ‘gin and tonic’ catchphrases into the recording. That’s a wrap!

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha, you’ve summed it up rather well there! Thanks mate!

[@IanMcalpine-ep9fc]

Brutal 🤯 well done Al 👊🏻

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks Ian! I’d be interested to see how quickly you could do it! Reckon you’d be really good at it!

[@paulsummerly8203]

I live in Sheffield Al but i am a born and bred geordie.the lads at work talked me into some fell races in the peak district so I know how you felt on the pendulum.

[@AlPepperRuns]

Absolutely different beast isn’t it! Cross country looks tough enough for me, this was extreme sports meets running!

[@AlastairCunningham-g4z]

Steep hills, who’d have thought it 😂 That looked good tbf.

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha, I knew it would be hilly but totally underestimated just how hilly it would be! Great fun though!

[@AlastairCunningham-g4z]

@@AlPepperRuns I was gonnae walk up there the other day, we were in Morpeth, did a coastal walk from High Newton to Craster and back instead 😂

[@neilforrest8637]

Well done Al! Was a tough run! Great video!

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks Neil! Appreciate it!

[@RunningSlow]

Top video as always mate. Looked brutal!! But one I strangely want to have a go at!! 🥴

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks mate! I’d recommend it! The harder it got the more fun it was!

[@just_jono]

Jeeeez mate that was brutal just watching! Well done boys!

[@AlPepperRuns]

Thanks Jono! A hard shift no doubt but a lot of fun!

[@leightondavies7336]

You really struggled getting your shoes out of that muck!😂 I had a good laugh again at your expense!😂 Good on you guys for finishing that! It looked brutally hard! Cheers🍺 👍🇨🇦

[@AlPepperRuns]

Cheers mate! 🍻 I couldn’t believe how stuck it was! That first few km took so long! Was solid!

[@carrieannbeckerfishman4292]

That has absolutely happened to me before! Where did my shoe go??? 😂😂😂😂

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha, it’s a right of passage for fell runners isn’t it!

[@markrichards9605]

It was great fun wasn’t it! You take your life in your hands running down from the Cheviot and Hedgehope

[@AlPepperRuns]

Particularly the speed some of them were running down it! Into gale force cross winds no less! But yeah… a whole lot of fun!

[@durhamiteblue]

Love watching your videos and many a time I have thought wow I would like to have a go at that one. This video wasn’t one of them 😂

[@AlPepperRuns]

Haha, honestly it was great. Clearly rock hard but I really liked it because of that! Became a bit of a bucket list event… that’s the Cheviot conquered!

[@cheviot62]

Painful....but think about the bragging rights.

[@AlPepperRuns]

Definitely! I’ll be subtly dropping it into conversation over the next few weeks / months! Did someone say Cheviot?…
