    Quick warm up uh my plan is to do uh 30 minutes today so what’s like 9:40 pacing so yeah it’s super super steady today just a shake out room from the drop cuz it took us three and a half hours to get up here so yeah just a really nice

    Steady one ready uh freshen the legs up a little bit for tomorrow uh cuz yeah I really want to have fresh legs for the half Maran tomorrow so yeah let’s uh oh Jenna’s off for a warm up already she’s she’s dropped me she’s gone so let’s go

    And catch her and go for a warm up so I’ve caught Jenna on a warm up uh yeah nice little Pond there beautiful ducks are quacking it’s uh yeah very nice park so far so yeah I think it’s all on path which is uh helpful uh I think already

    1. Nice work guys! Darlington is our "local" ParkRun so it was awesome to see it on the channel. Fountains Abbey ParkRun is definitely worth a trip if you're ever in North Yorkshire again. Hope the half in Middlesborough went well!

    2. Nice video, and thanks for the volunteer/marshal shout outs. SP is my local for volunteering and running and they really are the best bunch so it was nice to see them get such a genuine shout out from you guys. Glad you enjoyed it, will look out for your Boro half video too, hope it went well for you!
