I love watching you present videos Nicola. You have such an expressive face and genuine joy in your voice. We need more people like you. When I think of you I think how easy it would be for you to be bitter and angry but you have chosen not to be. You are very much loved by the parkrun community. 🤗

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks John, what a lovely comment 😊

[@barnabynorman157]

Aww Ben would have loved it. Hugs. Thank you for sharing.

[@NicolaRuns]

I think you're right ❤️❤️❤️

[@Rubix78]

So glad Ben's bike got a run out ♥ great parkrun video as always, always great to see Poppy so happy even with her invisible bike 😆

[@NicolaRuns]

Lol bless her and her invisible bike 🤣🥰 yes I felt so super happy that Ben's Princess got to hit the trails 🎉🚴‍♀️

[@andybrook9518]

As a Leeds United and Hunslet RL supporter, loving the mentions of Elland Road and South Leeds Stadium!

[@NicolaRuns]

Awwww good 😃😃😃 This area of Leeds offers so much in terms of sports venues it really is awesome. Oh I didn't even mention the ice skating too! It's a great sporting hub! Pleased you enjoyed the mentions 😃

[@tonyreeves5083]

Love, love, love this, Thanks Nic.

[@NicolaRuns]

Awwww I'm so pleased! I love this parkrun so I love it when others love it too 😃😃😃

[@niftyfiftyrunning2882]

Love this thank you Nicola - my local park run on my doorstep 😊

[@NicolaRuns]

Ooh lucky you! Such awesome facilities 😍

[@mrrobot7185]

Great Video. This is a great place to run, please visit. Thanks you for the great review of the park run.

[@NicolaRuns]

Couldn't agree more, I really recommend people go and visit, especially if they take bikes to play on afterwards. Such insane facilities, it's a brilliant place to visit! 😃

[@CliveWalker]

What a great park!

[@NicolaRuns]

Isn't it just! 😍

[@emmarunyeard6832]

What a nice parkrun, I felt sneaky last week... I needed a 10k toward Brighton training so used our summer parkrun route times 2.. Felt so strange not having loads of other runners everywhere xx

[@NicolaRuns]

I loled at 'felt sneaky ' 🤣🤣🤣 well done for the training 😃

[@bertiepowell3027]

What a great video and a great parkrun. You make presenting easy well done on another I look forward to the next parkrun video

[@NicolaRuns]

Thanks Bertie 😃 what a lovely comment. It's easy to film parkruns because they're so great! 😍

[@Mookiethedog]

Another gem Ms Nicola! Poppy was on fire for that run and ride (with or without bike). Nice of you to volunteer to help the newbies with their marathon. You’re exactly the type of person that should be there for them. Taking out the fear and putting in the fun of running 42.2km! Hope your wisdom tooth issue is a distant memory!

[@NicolaRuns]

Thank you 🤗 hopefully it was nice for them to meet one of the Pacers that will be there on the day 😃 I love chatting all things running with people 😃 lol yes Poppy was in a world of her own! 🤣 My girl 🥰🥰🥰

[@bren70ssss94]

Great to see a new video , cheered me right up , went to the car boot this morning made a total of a fiver , my accountant has stopped taking my calls😂😂. So nice that Bens bike got to partake im sure poppy will inherit it .I kept my dads ring and watch , id never part with them 😀

[@NicolaRuns]

This made me laugh although rubbish about the car boot! I hope you're right about the bike... It would mean a lot if Poppy ended up riding it 😃❤️

[@bren70ssss94]

@@NicolaRuns Im sure she will , shes already riding with her dad in her imagination which is adorable , you are a supermum , have a lovely week 😄

[@NicolaRuns]

@@bren70ssss94 thank you so much, that means a lot. I hope you have a great week too 🤗

[@richsullivan1950]

Always nice to see a new video from you Nicola, brightens up the day. The bike park looked really good. Nice to hear Elland Road get a mention as a hub of sport (although this year that's stretching it a bit)

[@NicolaRuns]

This made me laugh so much Rich 🤣⚽ I took Poppy to watch the Lionesses play at Elland Road and she absolutely LOVED it! Slightly different feel to a Leeds match though 😜

[@NicolaRuns]

And yes the bike park is incredible! That was just the tip of the iceberg! 😍

[@geoffclarke3796]

Looks a great parkrun to have a go at and it didn't seem there were too many running. I have a few parkruns near me on great courses but the downside is that some have got a little too popular with huge numbers turning up each week. I'm guessing your a Leeds Utd fan Nicola? Keep the videos coming as your enthusiasum for running always shines through and watching one of your videos always puts me in a good mood.

[@NicolaRuns]

That's so lovely to hear 😃 thanks! I'm a football fan, don't support any particular team, I took Poppy to see the Lionesses play at Elland Road which was ace! I prefer playing football to watching it though 😃 Middleton Woods is always a smaller parkrun which is so nice as when it's busy it can feel a bit too much sometimes can't it 🙃

[@alanrobinson2229]

Watching Poppy is amazing,what a world she lives in, what was she eating( in imagination)?

[@NicolaRuns]

🤣🤣🤣 I know right?! She has THE BEST imagination ever! So much so that I often can't play the games with her as I've lost that magic that kids have. She was making something... Can't remember what, she definitely says chocolate orange at some point, I think it may have been an ice cream factory 🤣🤣🤣

[@alanrobinson2229]

@@NicolaRuns Actually,if I recall (I may re watch it),Poppy does appear to be breaking open a chocolate orange? (Sorry Poppy for all this analysis ❤️)

[@NicolaRuns]

@@alanrobinson2229 lol I might have to rewatch now and just watch Poppy 🤣🤣🤣

[@nolavout9094]

Excellent video as per usual, notice your other half has turned to the dark side tho 😖😖

[@NicolaRuns]

Ooh what's the dark side? I'm intrigued! 🤣

[@nolavout9094]

Flipping stealth camping in a van to avoid paying site fees, really winds me and my hubby up when we have to pay for site fees, but they take up all the room in the car parks for a minimal fee!!! Sorry, just saying!!! Still love Bluey tho, tell him 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nolavout9094]

We spent half our holiday in the lakes last week counting stealth campers so not that stealth really are they, can spot them a mile!!!! I can understand why it's been banned in Cornwall

[@nolavout9094]

Don't get me wrong, I know why people are doing it and I m sure you will shortly be doing it, doesn't mean I have to agree with it tho, love both your channels so please don't take offence, each to their own xx

[@NicolaRuns]

@@nolavout9094 ahhhh I see, it's all a bit political for me 🙃 I think England just need to take a leaf out of Scotland's book and have areas you're allowed to camp so that it's all a bit easier 😊

[@terben7339]

That looks like the perfect park. I see that there is a golf course and bowls venue there as well.

[@NicolaRuns]

Ooh I'm not sure where there's is a bowls green but it wouldn't surprise me. There used to be a huge golf club there but think it closed in 2016 and became part of the park, there's still golf nearby though so yes, definitely got it all!

[@nolavout9094]

Is that Middleton in Teasdale? Poppy does really well, how old is she, about 10 or 11? Oh ok, sounds like it's Leeds

[@NicolaRuns]

Poppy is ace isn't she, she's 10 🥰 no didn't have to go far for this one, it's just south Leeds 😊

[@emmarunyeard6832]

Don't get a dry socket although you should be clear of that by now. Xxx

[@NicolaRuns]

Oh my goodness I was sooooooooo careful with it! Luckily out of the woods but thanks for caring 🥰

[@DABOutdoors]

Two words. DRY SOCKET You don’t want one of those!

[@NicolaRuns]

I avoided it thank goodness 🎉 I was so worried! It sounds horrific 😱

[@DABOutdoors]

@@NicolaRuns me too! Thankfully you healed properly.

[@timeonfeet]

Lovely Parkrun there Nicola. I haven't done any up north yet but this is definitely one to add to the list!

[@NicolaRuns]

The facilities are awesome! I'd definitely get it on the list 😃
