    Wow, what an adventure! Your journey through this race was truly inspiring to watch! From the bustling start to unexpected fan encounters and pushing through the tough sections, you tackled it all with determination and a smile. And crossing the finish line with your little one? Priceless. Thanks for sharing this amazing experience with us! Keep shining and spreading those positive vibes, Ben! 👏

      Thanks Mihai! Very kind as always! It was a wicked day on the NDW and I really enjoyed the event. 😎🤘

    Yes! You're like a machine, Ben 💪💪 Great running, especially whilst vlogging.

      Not sure about that Mark 🤣 but I really appreciate the support mate! 😎🤘

      Thank you so much for organising a great event. I will make sure I come and run it again. 😎🤘

    What a nice day for a race! Great job, and thanks for sharing it with us! And my goodness, your kids are certainly growing up! 🤓

    Ben, congratulations and thanks for filming the beautiful marathon! That's definitely a bargain at 25 pounds.

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 4 měsíci

      Cheers Reto! It was fantastic value for money! To get a race of any distance for that price is fantastic let alone a well supported trail marathon. Thanks for watching bud! 😎🤘

    NICE Ben, BRAVO!!! 💪🏃💪 You must know the NDW like the back of your hand, or maybe it's more the SDW? Or probably both actually!!😂 Yeah just a training run, me too I enter races for a "training run" but then I can't help myself giving it my all in the moment anyway... must be ego!!😁🤣 Here near Paris too we've had a few days up to 18°/19° now, just LOVELY!! With the early spring flowers and the cherry blossom perfume starting to fill the air too... love love love running this time of year!!!

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thanks Bev! It was a great little race. Very low key but really well supported. The aid stations were great and it was really great value for money. I had to do a race on the NDW because it's my fav trail. I had an absolute blast the weather was great that day but it has turned back to being damp this week. Hopefully it will pick back up again soon though. Thanks for watching Bev! 😎🤘

    I got lost at the end
    Great video and well done

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Oh dear! It was a bit confusing at times in the street sections. Lots of little alleyways. Had to keep a keen eye for the signage. It was a wicked race though I am sure I will be back in 2025. 😎🤘

    Great effort mate, I’d be happy with that marathon pace on the road 😂 👏

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 4 měsíci

      Cheers James! It was a quality day out on the trails. I highly recommend the Y2Y for 2025. 😎🤘

    The challange was starting at the back and seeing how many people you could say hi to on the way to the finish line 😁

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 4 měsíci +1

      It really was JBS 🤣 despite the confusing start I really enjoyed the rest of the event. The aid stations were superb and to get a medal and a t shirt for £25 is incredible. I will be running it again for sure. Thanks for watching mate! 😎🤘

  • @timeonfeet
    @timeonfeet Před 4 měsíci +1

    Cracking effort mate! Sub 4 hour trail marathon for a training run and with all that climbing is super. Looked really controlled too, training is clearly paying off 👌 loved Theo's analysis at the end too 😅 25 quid for a trail marathon and that spread is what it's about 👍

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Cheers Ben! Really pleased with how it went mate. Great bit of training. 👍 £25 for any race is superb these days mate. The aid stations were brilliant and to get a medal and a shirt is incredible. Thanks for watching mate! 😎🤘

    Lovely looking event and super low key and great value ! Do they provide a results list and how many entered Ben?
    Great filming Ben and amazing running as always 🏃🏻‍♂️👊

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 4 měsíci +1

      It was a superb little event Michael. I really enjoyed it. The aid stations were superb and to get a medal and short for £25 was incredible value. There wasn't an official result table for the event and in terms of entrants I think I heard there was about 150 for the marathon and 40 for the half. Mixture of runners and walkers. I highly recommend it for the value. 😎🤘

    • @michaelbennett6778
      @michaelbennett6778 Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thanks Ben, they would get more entrants from marathon runners who are aiming for the hundred marathon club or members of 100 mc if they changed it up and also produced a times results sheet.

  • @TimGrose
    @TimGrose Před 4 měsíci +1

    Nice one but ruining your shoes on a towpath and no goal pace. Can't think where have seen that before. Otherwise looked surprisingly dry. All good prep for the 100 miler. Is there a 50 mile version for everyday runners? Umm Dan Runs gets a cameo. Was TRG behind a tree I wonder and the old gang would be back together but guess saving himself for pacing at parkrun.

    • @BenNotley
      @BenNotley  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Unfortunately TRG didn't make an appearance. I think he was likely recovering from a max effort parkrun the day before. Sometimes you just have to cowboy up for these long distance events. 😎🤘
