2017: Year in Review
Several long term injuries, illness, multiple races being cancelled, a DNF and an ongoing battle with fitness; it’s safe to say that 2017 didn’t exactly go to plan. It was a year that began with much hope and promise, a year with big fundraising plans, but one that ultimately ended in disappointment. Yet, in many ways it was far from a failure, and it could even be argued that it was my most successful year of running yet.

Snowdonia Trail Marathon 2017 | Mountain Marathon
Переглядів 12 тис.7 років тому
For July's #run2017 challenge I would cross the border into Wales to run the Snowdonia Trail Marathon. Still suffering from the back injury I sustained in March, I hadn't been able to train as as such was short of fitness. I soon found out that it was a race that would punish me from the start and right up until the finish line. Without question the toughest marathon I've ever done and one of t...
Escape From Meriden 2017 | 24 Hour Ultramarathon
Переглядів 1,6 тис.7 років тому
Escape From Meriden is a race unlike any I've ever run before. Starting at midnight in Meriden, the centre of England, you have 24 hours to run as far as you can. There is no route, so where you run is entirely up to you. As such, there are no checkpoints, so it becomes a challenge between running the most direct route, and the most practical. The distance you cover on foot is not counted, rath...
Baht'at Trail Marathon 2017
Переглядів 5277 років тому
Just a week on from running 78 miles at the Escape From Meriden race, I was back running again with the Baht'at Trail Marathon. With 4,000ft of elevation the idea was to take it nice and steady. After only a few miles my body soon demanded I take it even steadier. A long day out on the trails, but a race taking in some spectacular views and in one of my favourite places to run. -~- - - -~- Plea...
7 Marathons in 7 Days | Mental Health Awareness Week 2017
Переглядів 2917 років тому
On the 8th May I embarked on what is unquestionably my toughest challenge to date, running 7 marathons in 7 days to commemorate Mental Health Awareness Week. Over 7 days I ran a marathon every day around Leeds and West Yorkshire, encouraging others to join me on this 180 mile challenge. Then at the end of the week I finished the challenge by running the last 13 miles in the Leeds Half Marathon....

April's #run2017 challenge hasn't quite gone to plan. Originally I wanted to run the Three Peaks Fell Race, but my application was rejected. The backup was the Drop 50, but that was cancelled only a week or two before. Any training has been put on hold as most of the month has been spent dealing with tendonitis in my thumb and issues with my sacroiliac joint. At the end of April a very last min...

Calderdale Hike 2017 | 37 Mile Ultramarathon #run2017

It's Wednesday, 10:25pm and I'm just about to go to bed when I happen to look over a list of races I planned to enter this year. 5 minutes later and with just 30 minutes to go before the registration cut off and I've entered my second fell race in just 3 weeks. The bigger, uglier sister of the Haworth Hobble, the Calderdale Hike. Within the first mile I'd already fallen over, and dropped both m...
Haworth Hobble 2017 | 32 Mile Ultramarathon #run2017
Переглядів 1,6 тис.7 років тому
Following on from February's Double Marathon, March saw me tackle my first ever fell race with the 32 mile Haworth Hobble. Just a couple of weeks on from the back-to-back marathons, my body wasn't quite ready for another long run, with recovery from a minor ankle sprain very much touch and go. I knew I would have to be relaxed and take it steady, but perhaps missing the start of the race and ha...

Most of the symptoms of depression and anxiety are fairly well known; feelings of hopelessness, insomnia, fatigue, constant worrying, but there are many ways in which depression and anxiety affect the day to day life. Living with depression and anxiety isn’t easy. It can affect even the most simple of tasks, even if I look like I’m coping fine there can very often be a battle going on inside my...

The first marathon of the year, and first event of #run2017, the Sir Titus Trot is an out and back marathon starting in Saltaire along the Leeds & Liverpool Canal.

Переглядів 3417 років тому
For 2017 I have set myself the target of running 2017 miles, through training runs, marathons and ultra marathons. In the past 2 years I have already ran 35 marathons for Mind, and this year I’m aiming to run (at least) another 15 to get that total to 50. Each month I will be completing a different mini challenge, whether that's back to back marathons, 24 hour races or 100 mile Ultras. So far i...

On the second year of trying I finally completed the Positive Steps Grand Slam with the Kings Forest 50K. After spraining my ankle at the previous weekends Dusk 'til Dawn 50 miler (ua-cam.com/video/grmBhvrhUoQ/v-deo.html) I was anxious that the race could be extremely difficult. I taped and strapped my ankle up as much as I possibly could whilst still being able to wear a sock and decided to ju...
My Depression Story | Vlog #2

Saturday 19th November was International Mens Day, and it’s likely upon hearing that you’ll have the same reaction I did when I first heard about it. But it’s more than just yet another thing that needs a day about it, and there is a reason to be less cynical. The theme for this year is ‘Stop Male Suicide’. It’s a little known fact that despite women being twice as likely to suffer from depress...

I've enrolled into 2022 so much appreciate your footage!! Thanks!!
Well done! That's a great achievement, even more so with an injury from the start of this race 👍🏻🏃♂️ Hope you're keeping well.
Things you don't want to hear from your running buddy, 60 miles into a race: "Where the feck are we?" 😁 Great video mate. I'm very late watching it but will sub in case you're still recording events like this. Well done on the race! :)
Great video , subscribed

Great video, and awesome to see a fellow Vegan Runner :)
There are still places for 2019, I am thinking about this however that queuing up to gates at the beginning is really off putting.
Incredible! Welldone!!
Incredible achievement.
Good vid, thanks..
Great vid but omg your shoulders. Don't envy you in the shower in the morning haha
Damn man you're a funny guy,.. and if you consider 2017 a disappointment then you set the bar very high. I'm in awe..
The way you're talking and your eyebrow movement make you look like gruff from 101 dalmations
Great stuff. I hope you start uploading again soon.
I don't usually comment on videos, but this was a great film, you seem like a real stand up guy and proper passionate about running, keep doing what your doing, its good stuff, the power of running really can do great things, Fair play to you 👍
great video, inspired to do this one myself now
A great recap of your year! Really enjoyed that!
Hi Shane, just wanted to let you know that I liked all your videos, they were a big inspiration for me as a novice ultra runner. Hope you're back out there soon mate.
awesome effort! do you have a link for this route?

Great Video. A true account!
I take citalopram 20mg. At first I felt “artificially level” but eventually felt more natural. The tiredness is a pain in the arse, and I think I know what you mean when you say “other issues” 😄
Enjoying your videos, but there’s just something “a bit dark” about them.
Cracking effort, I’d be happy just to take part whatever the distance I got
Great video, thanks for sharing it.
I walked the short route last year, might run the short route this year think that would be my maximum. Respect for running the long route.
Nice video. Definitely seems like an interesting race. Well done!
That looked amazing! Subbed :
Thats absolutely mental! Well done, can't wait to see more!
I have obtained a solo spot for 2018, really looking forward to this one! Nice video/soundtrack, loving it
