 Good morning, welcome to Film My Run. It is a calm, serene, quiet, beautiful morning here on the coast at Swanwich in Dorset, UK. We're going to run the Purbeck Marathon this morning. I've done it before. We run out from Swanwich here onto the coast path, then inland to Tynum, and then up round on the ridge to Corf Castle, then back down that hillside over there. It is an absolutely beautiful run, one of the nicest in the UK, so come and join me on one of the nicest trail marathons you'll do. Welcome to beautiful sunny Swanwich on this glorious morning for the Purbeck Marathon. Okay, so here we go with the Purbeck Marathon 2018. Five miles in, this is the first major climb, just going inland now off the coast path. Just at the end of the second major climb there, we've climbed about 360 metres now, and we're just going to come into the village of Kingston. Okay, just leaving the village of Tynum, 15 miles gone, and I've just got a cup of coffee from my wife, isn't that nice? So I shall walk up a little bit of this hill drinking my coffee, and then we'll get on. There's the church at Tynum. This whole village was deserted in the 40s to make way for a military training range, and there's the hill we've got to go up right now. 17 miles gone, 27k nearly 28k. I've lost my momentum a bit since Tynum when I had my coffee. Legs are feeling very heavy now. So this is Corf, 21 miles in, death marching it in now. I'm Steve from Brighton, and tell me your girls' names. There's Ivy and Mia, and they've been watching your films online. Hello Ivy and Mia, how are you? Keep watching. They're all delighted to see this. How old are they? They're about seven. Right, so you know how to smash that like button, don't you? So one of the beautiful things about the Purbeck Marathon is we get to cross this steam railway line. This engine you see was built in Brighton in 1955, one of the last steam trains made. So she just told me, go on the slide if you like. Just a bit of road running to the end now. This is the finish line of the Purbeck Marathon. There we go, there's the Purbeck Meadow. Nice to see you. You did too, it was the first time I came with you. Hello! Jake, is it? No. Yay! Nice to see you again. How's it going? All right. Yeah? Any disasters? No, no disasters at all. What time did the winner do? Three minutes, three hours and 20 seconds. You know those races where you start off really strong and you think I'm going alright here and you start passing loads of people and then you get to halfway and then everything drops away. Your motivation goes, your momentum goes, your will to live goes. I had one of those days today. I thought, for me, I thought I'd go out a bit fast at the beginning and try and do the first half of the marathon in two hours and see if I could hold on to there. Well, it turns out I couldn't hold on. And again, you know that feeling where at the end of a race everyone is coming past you. It's not a good feeling, is it? One by one, people are catching you up. All the people who you overtook before are catching you up. So, you know, you win some, you lose some. Today it was a pretty, pretty brutal experience, it has to be said. But that is the perfect marathon. I've got a thing for the perfect marathon now. I need to come back. I need to try and do this better. Each time I've done it I've got slower. But it's still beautiful. Come to Dorset. Come and run on the Jurassic Coast. Come and run anything on the southwest coast path. The perfect marathon is definitely one of the marathons to do in the UK. It is stunning. When the weather is like this, you cannot beat it. Absolutely gorgeous.
