Running the Yorkshire 3 Peaks for fun 6/6/10

[TheFolkinrambler]

how duuu.. watched a few of your vids and really enjoy them. Im thinking of running this as i have walked it many many times. I see on this video your using a hand held camcorder but on others are you using something else? Go Pro Hd or something like that.. Keep up the good work anyways...

@TheFolkinrambler Thanks, mate! Yes, I filmed this with a crappy little Handycam (hence why it broke due to moisture) but on my more recent videos I filmed with a GoPro :)

You must have bloody good stamina to do that.

[bravedaveempire]

@Zeamus634 Thanks, Zeamus. And yes. Yes, I do :P

[Zeamus634]

@bravedaveempire I'd love to do something like that but at the moment I can only manage about 1 mile without having to walk. lol

[bravedaveempire]

@Zeamus634 Well, there's your starting point then! Run a mile and then walk a mile. A few days later see if you can run the two miles. Increase it by a mile every few days. You'll be amazed how fast you improve. You'll be at 10 miles in no time. And then if you can run 10 miles you can definitely run 15 ;)

@bravedaveempire Sounds simple enough, I'll have a go and see how I get on. lol

Now then, Andy! Nice one with running the 3 Peaks, mate :D Was that as part of the official race on Saturday? I was supposed to be doing that but I've got a broken ankle. Gutted! I was properly looking forward to it as well. I'll just have to go and do it by myself again when I'm fixed.

No mate, never knew about the run till we got there, we'd come in at 6:19 and got talking to a guy who was aiming for 3:20!!!! dave, i wanted to slap him hahaha

That last peak is a bloody grueller isn't it, just saps you of everything you have left..... and whats with the signs at the bottom, the mileage to horton in ribblesdale are full of sheeeeeiite :):)

Hope you have a speedy recovery with the ankle dude

Nice. This motivates me. Would love to visit this area of your world sometimes.

Thanks for this video.

I watched it two weeks ago and it motivated me.

I walked it with my brother on 12/09/10 in 8hrs 50 mins.

Next challenge will be to have a go running it. (After my blisters have gone!)

Thanks again.

Mate, that's brilliant news! Really glad to hear I influenced someone into doing something like this. And when you do run it you've got 5 hours 50 minutes to beat... ;-)
