Thank you for watching and supporting Those 2 Runners! See you in the next video! 🏅
Keep on running! 🏃♂️🏃♀️ - Sport
Great racing both, looked like a great race apart from the narrow grass section haha, thanks for teaching us about food 🤣🤣 I had no clue what it was, Keep on Running 👊🔥
Haha you’re welcome! If you’re ever up north, we’ll treat you to a stottie 😉😂 thanks for the support guys! We appreciate it 😃
Fantastic guys! Well done!
Thank you as always!
Great running. Dan it for the first time and loved it
Thank you! And amazing! We’re so glad you enjoyed it 😃
Cracking video and considering you did a cheeky 5km trail the morning of this! Both managed outstanding times while filming. 🤯 multitasking levels “pro”
It was the 5k warm up that made all the difference! The head cam makes a difference as you don’t need to carry anything and very light. You’re right though maybe sub 40 pace was on without the talking 🤷♂️
Loved this video, brought it all back for me, first time I've run it this year and one of the best organised races I've ever taken part in, thank you!
No problem at all, glad you enjoyed it! It was a great race, which we’ll be doing again!
Epic Running guys! Loved being part of that finish! 🫶🏼
Thank you Alex! You smashed it 👏😃
Thank you Alex! You smashed it 👏😃
Brilliant video. Would love to do this one day.
Thanks Andy! It’s a great day out 😊
Nice video guys, gutted I missed out on Blaydon this year (I'd been learning the lyrics for the song to be ready and everything!), but 2025 places are all to play for now! I was edge of my seat for that finish with Chris and Alex lol! Hope you enjoyed Up and Running SRG the other night, always a good way to start a week is that group. Really enjoyed this video, nice work and great running efforts!
Thanks Chris! We’d definitely recommend, it’s a fun race! We really enjoyed SRG, what a lovely group! We’ll definitely be back soon for another 😊

That one looked a lot of fun. Well done guys
Yeah lots of fun, thank you 🙌
Go on every one welldone😊
Thank you! 😃
Great running both of you 👏
Thank you Ian! 😊
Well done you two runners. Watching your video reminded me of something that was shouted by one of the supporters about a mile into the race. 'You're nearly there...' they said. I'm not sure if they were being tongue in cheek or what but it made a lot of the runners laugh.
Haha it’s a popular one that one! It’s worse when you’re doing loads of miles and they shout that 🤣 thanks for watching Mike! 😃
Hi Both. Great video as always. Just checking in to see what running watches you use. I'm going to upgrade but there are so many out there. Thanks
Thanks 🙌 we both have the Garmin Forerunner 265. We’d highly recommend it, but it is in the higher price range
Congrats Chris on a fantastic time. I think you would've been a little faster with a paved finish as well. That grass just sort of takes any bounce you'd get from the carbon shoes. The closest I got to breaking 40 in a 10K was a very long time ago -- I got to about 40:30 and that was the best I got.
Also that was a huge race and quite an interesting storyline behind it. Pretty amazing how many runners you guys get for all the races that are out there. The market here in the US is pretty saturated so they all syphon off from each other.
Out of curiosity, are you using Instapros for your head camera and GoPros for the handheld? The video quality has been really good of late. It is amazing what these things can do these days (I have a really old GoPro)
Hi Eddie!
Yeah the grass and filming might have lost me a little time, but now I need to find a 10k that’s pretty flat to go for it! 40:30 is a cracking time!! 🏃💨
That’s definitely one of the bigger races, there was 4300 runners! Crazy how popular running is! Good though!
For parkruns we’re using the handheld GoPro mainly hero 11 I think. For the races we’ve started using the insta360 go 3 which is very light and clips on your hat. Much easier, but the battery life’s not the best. Mine died just after the finish, luckily still caught the end 😃
Did that race last year. Bit congested at the start I thought. Decent race though.
Yeah, It’s certainly a popular race! It’s one we’ll definitely be doing again! Did you enjoy it?
@@those2runners After a few k when I could get a free run, aye it was good.
