FIVE ARCHES PARKRUN Event #3

The NEW FIVE ARCHES PARKRUN is here! This is the second parkrun I have ran and I will be doing parkruns all over the UK and rest of the world! Every Saturday I take part in a 5K run trying my hardest to get under 20 mins. FIVE ARCHES parkrun has just started and we are attending the third event. It is a very flat course with very few turns, great for getting a pb!

How’s it going and welcome back to the channel to another partk run it’s a Saturday morning which means it’s park run day we’re going to be doing the five archers part run which has only been going now this is going to be its third week so we’re doing event number three

To try and get as lower PE number as possible all the part Runners will know what I mean by that so for people who don’t know what a part Run is it is a 5K run which is timed but they’ve got lots of volunteers which time it Marshall the

Event and also check the people coming through at the end and all of it is free as well so it’s incredible this today is quite a good day for par race to be honest it’s not that hot and it’s also nice and cool and it’s not wet so it’s

Not too slippy on the surface either the five archers is located near radstock in Somerset well pretty much in radstock to be honest is on an Old Railway line and I’ll show you the course now the entire route consists of a flat tarmac path which is utilizing the old Somerset and

Dorset Railway line it passes by Woodland fields which you will see and through the five Arch railway tunnel so the course is really quite simple you started at this point here very close to radstock there’s loads of people there at the start you’ll see in a second and

As you make your way towards the halfway line almost and you’re going to turn around basically run all the way back to the start turn around again and then you’re doing the whole length all the way up to here so you’re almost in the little near the little in the welon and

From there you turn around again making your way under the five arches bridge for that fourth time and then you’re making the spring finish to the end so the current stats at the five archers part run after four events has the fastest mail has been Adam Gibson with a time of

1623 which is unbelievable and that was actually on event three as well so that’s the event that I do and you’ll see him how quick he is in a few minutes then in second we’ got the fastest female it was Katie Egan with 1928 so she again very fast time unbelievable

Way faster than I am and then the average of 175 runers per event and 2959 is the average run time and now we’ll take a look at our GoPro stats so I’ve actually got a faster time than this right now but this is the quickest time

That I’ve got with the GoPro on my chest cuz remarkably it actually makes like a minute difference to what my fastest time is so we’ve done so far one GoPro park run which has been filmed it was the Ean park run my best finish position

Was 16th for that one and I got a time of 23 and 1 seconds now let’s make our way towards the start line and see how we get on and there we go so they start doing the quick announcements at the start like usual there’s the five

Archers sign new part run nice and fresh sign as well and we headed over towards the start and then the guy was ready to call out he seemed pretty excited the whole time to be fair and there we go we are off as you can see though it’s

Really tight on this Lane there was only you you actually end up running back down this Lane as well so you you got both sides people running on the left and the right hand side so it’s a very tight course you see some dogs as well

So is very very hectic to be with especially at the start when people haven’t really pulled away from each other so at the start as you can see there’s people taking over each other just everyone getting their right pace and you can sort of see the US pulling away

From the bigger sort of size in the pack cuz usually most people get between sort of 25 26 minutes whereas we get a little bit less than that as you’ll see Today you can already see just quite how flat this course is look how flat it’s going to be like this pretty much the whole way through and then there’s just a little path down that right hand side all the trees and forests as well around

It’s quite a nice day as well it wasn’t too cold and it was Sun out which was good it wasn’t raining at all so it wasn’t very slippy that was also nice and then there was a lot of Runners though think over 100 as you can see we’re slowly pulling away from the pack now as we head towards the bridge there’s the first Marshall thanks Marshall and there we go we head under the bridge for the first time in for and we’re just going to stick behind this girl here you see some

Bikes there on the right hand side here everyone was there warning each other there was a bike coming or someone else coming down the track so everyone had to sort of cut in or cut out that sort of thing but luckily no one was injured so it’s all Good oh so at this point I’m beginning to find my Pace now I’m just sort of chilling behind this guy in the blue and well the double blue stripes top not too sure if that’s a football team or what that is but I seem to stay behind him for pretty

Much most of this race now he keeps uh he had a good pace for me so I was very happy with that I was able to stay behind him for quite a while running pass someone there with 250 Park runs so they’ve ran 5K 250 times they see on the

Left with that Fest on Fair Play to them and there’s that person in first running past look how far ahead he is compared to everyone else you can’t even see second yet the second is coming but you can just see quite how tight it is now with people there on that right hand

Side as well as us on the left and you can see how it could be an easy cion if you would want to take over People as I say earlier it was a very very very flat race the gradient yet to change and here we go the first turn now and then we’re going all the way back to near the start not quite all the way to the starter but this this is the smaller

Loop of the two Obviously so we’re keeping right behind this guy in the blue stripe top thankfully we’re not losing him which is good keeping a good Pace up at the moment and if you do go to the part run do you have to let me know which one is

Your local part runers if I ever come into that location you might be able to say hi or whatever I can put down whenever I’m going anywhere new and then maybe I might be able to see you There they’re about to head back under the bridge for the second time you can see someone there walking with crutches and a boot on so fair play to them for completing the part run if they did manage to get to the end I’m guessing they were the tail Walker by the looks

Of it while they were just sitting right at the back anyway but there you go see some more marshals on that right hand side we’re coming back to go towards the forest and there’s the person in first again passing thus by and then Here Comes second and third

That have just gone past us so you can see just how much F further ahead that guy in first is compared to any everyone else he was going so fast I can’t remember what time he got but he must have got an incredible time and with not many people actually having done this

Part run as it’s only on like event four or five Now and now we’re heading to the second turn and watch this guy does a nice little twizzle for the turn round that cone keeps up his POS pace and Carries On going so that was pretty cool some being pushed around in the push yet literally I’m thinking these

Children must be scarred from part runs are literally being jogged with pushed around in a pram bumping up and down on all the uh the hard stand pavement and stuff and coming over like a few little leaves and things like that bumping around in this push chair they’re going

To be scarred for life I swear we’ve managed to catch up to a few more people here so we’ll start getting a few more takeovers which is good to see however as you’ll see towards the end I did go a little bit too early because I

Didn’t realize just how far it was this second lap cuz this is the second lap now which is longer than the first one this is a lot longer than I thought it was CU see that dog them running down the middle and then I think someone’s reading their book actually I don’t know

Whether it comes up now or if it’s a bit later on but someone literally just reading that book walking through the center of the runners And we’re making our way through the bridge again for the third of four times now so under we go seems to be getting dark every time we go through and some reason it goes really blurry as well with the changes in colors and stuff and then when you’re stuck in the forest cuz

There’s so much Forest it’s not really Forest but with all the trees and hedges around us get all the colors get a bit messed up but hopefully the video is still good that’s the little Dogo walking down on the right hand Side and now we’re going for a few more takeovers here to get past this first one on the left you can’t take over too far across otherwise you’re basically running into someone else’s Lane on the other side so You’ got to keep as tight to the left hand side as possible you

Avoid going and running into other people So at this point as you can see I decided to start trying to take over a few more people thinking oh yeah let’s pick out the pace a bit I’m feeling all right not realizing that this second lap was a lot longer than the first so we’re

Just coming up towards where we actually turned in this first lap so here’s where we turned at the end of the first lap and now we’ve got to keep running this time rather than turning so you’ll see just how longer this second lap Is as you can see now we’re sort of in the middle of a empty spot I always find van ID in my runs I’m always in a spot where there’s not really that many people ahead of me and there’s not really anyone behind me either so I get

To that point where I’m just sort of jogging on my own a little bit which is not ideal cuz I do prefer it when there’s someone in front that’s pushing me on try and catch up with them and there’s that guy in first again still jogging at an unbelievable Pace This is where a couple of people began to take over us there was another Marshal there so we still going straight this felt like forever this second lap and when I was running out I was thinking oh for God’s sake I thought it was going to be not too much longer than

The first lap but this one was almost like twice as long really it felt like Is a really nice run and I definitely recommend it for people that do want to try and get the PB because it is just so flat however it is quite bad in your needs cuz the concrete hard floor hard surfaces I find it better to run on

Grass cuz my knees are quite bad sometimes but on this of course particularly my knees weren’t great cuz I just ran on concrete for literally the whole race and as you can see here he is the double blue striped shirt has managed to take over me again just before we turn that

Final corner there he is doing his little pirouette again for the second time it was quite funny when he was doing it to be honest but it’s was actually quite a good technique to be fair every time he did it it looked like he was sort of kept his Pace going

Whereas I was sort of stopping and having to push back off on my legs so maybe doing the pirouette was a good idea but he’s now storming off head for me N so we’re just coming up to 17 and 1/2 minutes now we’re doing all right we had to dodge a few people there just before with their dog walk in but that’s all good cuz anyone can use this path so it’s not just set out for us whether

Anyone’s literally using it from the public to cyclists and cyclists that make it just look so much easier they’re barely pedaling and they’re just flying down this track whereas we’re they’re staggering away trying to get to the end but thankfully not much too much longer Now We’re slowly making our way towards that 20 minute Mark I could feel it now this is when I started getting very tired and I was thinking God this track feels just keeps feel like it’s getting longer and longer as it is just a straight path which is probably why it was so

Difficult but there you go see people start to take over me now as I slow down so fair play to them that that guy in front absolutely storm past me so I’m really impressed with them all and now we were heading towards that bridge for the final time I think I kept

Looking over my shoulder to just check if anyone else was behind me or close to being behind me because I really didn’t want to let anyone else pass me I know it’s not meant to be a race but my competitive self to keep myself going was good because I was just looking back

Making sure no one was behind me to keep myself going forward and driving towards the End and there again the lady with the crutch fair play that is dedication anyone that walks around with a crutch and a boot leg on that’s actually insane we we here coming up towards the end now it’s nice to actually see where we started again because I was thinking God

It’s never going to end otherwise this track it’s a never ending track we are heading our way now towards the final minute away towards the Finish Line I can see myself slowly getting closer towards this guy in red just in front here he was still just too far

Ahead to try and catch up with him I think he just pick it up towards the end as well but everyone was Sprint finishing in and I was like wow how people still got the energy to Sprint that quickly there right at the end we’re slowly getting closer i’ would

Love to walk my dog as well every time I see dogs on a part run being walked or running next to the dog I would love to have my own little dog running next to me completing these part runs with me it’ be great Fun there was a quick check there over my shoulder as we make our way towards the Finish Line someone there taking photos and videos and and there we go so we managed to get across in 23 minutes and 25 or 26 seconds I think someone was

Throwing up on the side next to next to me so thankfully I was all right at the end of that one that is the second part run done I have to say it was a really enjoyable run it was nice and easy one very flat on time at though so if you

Got bad knees probably wouldn’t recommend it but if you are trying to get a PB that’s really quick definitely a good one to go to a few little tips and tricks there is actually parking nearby on rad stock in wle Road and then there’s also the Church Street even

Though they are both free don’t forget to get your ticket and then also after the race you can also grab a coffee at the Riverside Cafe and R stock which is meant to be very nice as well I didn’t have time to stop off because Beth had

To go get a hair done so I to drive straight back and now let’s take a look at our overall GoPro stats so we’ve done two part runs so far our best finished position was actually think the last one in E where we came in 16th place with a

Time of 23 minutes and 1 second but the days won was 20 3 minutes and 25 seconds as well so I’m very happy with that one thank you again to all the volunteers who took part in the event and I hope to go back and give it a go another time

And try and beat that 23 minutes and 25 seconds but without the GoPro this time so I hope you all enjoyed this video and if you did don’t forget to make sure to let me know down in that comment section below and I’ll see you all in the next one
