[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks for watching everyone! Let me know how you’re going to tackle this winter in the comments below ⬇️

[@JB-uv1cg]

Hi Fergus, what about a weekly “Wintering WOD” ? 🧐

[@MarkLewisfitness]

You could use your first 30 seconds of this to open a TV show and it would look 100% legit. Elite level KZbin skills 😁👍🏼🎥

[@ferguscrawley95]

Haha thanks Mark! Basically a highlights reel of misery from over the years…

[@TheHybridHunter307]

As someone who lives in NW Wyoming I concur, "Be bold, start cold" is the only way.

[@SebMarks]

still don't understand how fergus does not have more subscribers. its beyond me

[@ferguscrawley95]

🤷‍♂️ very kind mate thank you!

[@loganstevens6313]

Fergus you should collab with Ross Edgley. He also loves the getting wintered mindset.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Could well be on the cards at some point 👀

[@lewisp941]

That would be very exciting!

[@danielpowers2860]

As someone that lives in the north, I appreciate this series! It's tough to train when there's snow outside.

[@ferguscrawley95]

The north remembers...

[@kentondragon9263]

Get the mind tough🧠🛠..What cold? What heat? What hunger? What thirst? What tired? Repetition leads to perfection, preparation leads to victory👍💪

[@ferguscrawley95]

Exactly that my man!

[@Stuartblackie]

Fergus is the Scottish nick bare. Killing it man, keep it up !

[@annapyea]

This series is exactly what I needed!!! You totally got me motivated to train more in the winter here in The Netherlands (not really winters here but shit weather for sure)

[@ferguscrawley95]

Awesome to hear Anna!

[@no_excuses]

I love winter training the weather adds an extra element to work against. I also believe if we focus on our self discipline for long enough it to becomes a habit, then being undisciplined nudges your conscience to get back to action and stop procrastinating.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Exactly that!

[@jeanclaudevandarn96]

As an American, I love the Scottish & English humor throughout your channel but just wanted to drop a comment for the algorithm. Good shit Fergus, keep it up man, you are truly an inspiration!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks man!

[@ryanwhite6859]

Word Up. Grind On.

[@peterfraser3523]

Fergus - saw you in NYC the other day! Revisiting this as we approach another winter season, keep up the grind!

[@LukeHughesfromBournemouth]

Great episode. I fear the winter. Time to turn it on its head and use it as an opportunity! Thank you Fergus + team!

[@danohara8485]

One of the best channels out there

[@tripsimon]

THAT INTRO tho 🔥😍 So pumped for winter training now!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Here we goooo!

[@christopherveilleux3760]

Hey Fergus! Just found your videos the other day and have watched about 10 so far lol. I'm in the U.S. (but have Scottish ancestry! lol) and have been TERRIBLY out of shape for YEARS. Strength has always come easier for me, but nutrition and cardio has not, and I think I have tricked myself into thinking improving cardio would kill my strength, but you are proving otherwise! With this in mind, I want to start training to be a hybrid athlete! Thoughts or specific video for an absolute beginner when it comes to running.. like no way I'm even doing a 1/2mile right now lol. Thanks!

[@ChrisLeFevre70]

Love it, proper content no BS! Brilliant thank you Fergus!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks Kit! Appreciate it!

[@handcrafted30]

Massive chuck up to whoever you managed to drag along with you to film that at that time. By my estimations you would have reached Greggs high street for opening, hope you got a cheeky sausage roll for your efforts!

[@jamieevans7069]

Excellent Video, would love episode 2 based around the night before and morning habits? Just some of the things that help you.

[@ferguscrawley95]

This is planned in my man! Thanks for watching!

[@chrishamilton9206]

Couldn’t agree more. Those harsh winter sessions are something I often draw on when I’m in a hole during the summer months. Looking forward to the rest of the series 👍

[@ferguscrawley95]

Good man!

[@roryprimrose5570]

Furthermore you choice of music was “on point”…brilliant inspiration for myself,52year old Edinburgh born .living in deepest Leicestershire/Northamptonshire border(wife in hospital(9years off n on)..brill mental fortitude..thanks ,brother Fergus😉

[@ferguscrawley95]

Great to hear Rory thanks for watching!

[@craigscott5805]

Be bold start cold all the way. I do a lot of hiking and if it's winter I still wear just shorts and shirt if I'm going uphill!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Gotta stay moving that way 🤷‍♂️

[@Yozzer72]

Comment for the algorithms. Winter is the only time when I really like running. I’m a natural sweater so summer is not a fun time for running.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks Jason!

[@Anula993]

Great video, but TBH I don't understand 😂 it is so much easier to run in winter (~ -5 is my favorite temperature) than in 20 degrees summer heat :) Snow sometimes might be a problem - in cities it can get pretty slippery. But temperature wise? It is so much easier!

[@JmacfitnessBlkRkBlackrock]

First ultra in May plan 6.00am 30 min 1200pm 30min evening 30 min 5 days a week Plus normal hit weights and kb training lets go.great content 💪 👌

[@ferguscrawley95]

Best of luck! Thanks for watching.

[@garethrogers5341]

Great watch just as I crack into winter training for a 104 mile trail ultra next June. Re-enorced a few things I follow anyway but a brilliantly timed series for me. Good work, keep it coming 👍💪

[@ferguscrawley95]

Awesome to hear Gareth, best of luck with your training!

[@chloeemmawells]

Dropping a comment for the algorithm. Engaging content as always Fergus.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks Emma!

[@FreshPrince182]

You have to get together with Ross Edgley Your wintering and his art of resiliance would mix quiet smoothly

[@ferguscrawley95]

Will try and make it happen!

[@IParmanHD]

Top quality as always

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks man!

[@ivanc.g.1918]

Thank you for be an alive inspiration. You are the reason for my new training and perspective' change about it . Greetings from Mexico

[@zarathustra105]

Top video Fergus. The dig deep stuff is great. Modern life seeks comfort way too much, which is all around. We don't have to be hungry or cold day to day. But we still need the big challenge. Good work man.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks for watching Tom!

I love this. I love running in winter and I love everything you’ve said about resilience. This is what running is all about for me. First full marathon multi terrain next year then I’m onto the ultras. 😃😃😃

It's been a rainy week here and you've convinced me to get out there and run. Thanks Fergus.

Spot on!

Just found your channel via Mattdoesfitness. Enjoying the content so far 👍 would love to see a mini series with you and Ross Edgley doing some adventures that would be brilliant. Some swim videos would be nice to see as well 😁

[@makaveliamgaming8952]

Another great video. Staying motivated to train during the winter is tough. It’s so important to make it a habit in my opinion and videos like this definitely help so thank you.

Fergus definitely enjoyed it mate 👍 Have a personal goal of trying an endurance event in next few years. Actually love the cold weather myself too!

[@ferguscrawley95]

Good man!

[@tomlast2277]

Yet another great video! Look forward to watching the rest in the series and the upcoming 'the wintering' series 2. How do you map out your route or do you just go out running? I presume you have a route mapped out but could be wrong

[@alannorman4097]

The question arises when I go for an early morning run is where am I going to shit? Have you conquered this problem or did it get cut in the editing? Love your work though, it makes me wish I was younger.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Hahaha the age old issue, get up a little earlier + water + some movement + some black coffee = only solution I have found!

[@runscottyrun5297]

Great video, Fergus, very much looking forward to following this series as the cold and wet has arrived here on the west coast of Canada. I'm looking to average at least 4-5 half marathon training sessions per month this winter, perhaps a marathon a month starting in January! Cheers from Canada, Scott

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks Scott! Best of luck!

[@joerussuk]

Love it👍🏼 really inspiring, now booked an endurance event for when I have recovered from a leg break due to watching your videos! Any advise of completing a marathon distance on the arm cycle machine?

[@joefranklin1992]

Anymore tips on getting up and staying up apart from laying kit out..? Unless I have a flight or train to catch, really struggle to get up.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Properly analyse your reasons why, and make sure to focus on them rather than doing things for the sake of doing them. Set goals based on what you enjoy, then strategise from there!

[@matthewcorcoran9142]

Hey Fergus! Love the channel and the content. What pack do you use when running? As a “hybrid” athlete myself I’m having trouble finding one that fits my build well.

[@ferguscrawley95]

Osprey Duro 6 my man, never let me down!

[@jamiechapman5969]

Brilliant video! What’s your opinions on polarised training?

[@ferguscrawley95]

Has its place - I prefer incorporating some tempo work however! Thanks for watching!

[@gstarlowe]

Great video Fergus. Done HYROX in Birmingham over the the weekend. Need to do more outside running. How do you find it with your asthma? Also what watch do you wear?

[@ferguscrawley95]

Thanks man! High intensity I can struggle over winter tbh - sometimes need to default to indoors when so! Garmin Fenix 5x

What do you do to warm up before running long distances? Inparticular during the winter.
