I think Jess being able to see the time on Big Ben was borderline. She even said she just ran for an hour lol.

The 1 rule was no looking at watches and Jess broke it! Even if she was stopping an emergency contact, she would've seen her distance and time first. James is the real winner!

If it's the emergency feature from Garmin, that takes over the entire screen if it's active. You press a button to dismiss it and then it goes back to the activity. So she could have seen her screen right after pressing the button, but she also could have pressed the button while looking away from the watch. Depends on if you believe her or not on that one.

I have a challenge for you. You all run the same 10k on a trail (with elevation changes). The only info you get is when your watch indicates the end. So no time, pace distance etc. The winner is the one that is in zone 2 for the most percentage of the run. This should be done alone so no pacing of other participants. Run only by feel.

I totally feel for James running the marathon in lockdown. I ran a half marathon in my quarantine hotel room in Sydney (14 days solitary confinement). It was 8m from door to window so I ran backwards and forwards 2600-2700 times. I did get a little dizzy. It took me 2 and a half hours and I live-streamed the entire thing to entertain others in a facebook group who were also similarly detained... and posted a time-lapse compression of the whole event for others to enjoy! 🤣 For what its worth I think the step counting method was the right way to go. Jess just got VERY lucky

3 things, This channel is definitely entertaining to watch, turning the simplest of challenges into something I want to keep watching. Secondly it helped me over 12 months ago to get back into running after a few years off..... And lastly, I love the fact the hosts are normal people, sure an elite athlete could start a channel with crazy workouts beyond the average Joe, but the runs/challenges are what anyone could get out and give them a go. Keep up the good work, always looking forward to the next video.

Had a laugh when Sarha said "i'm not a cheater" This reminded me of another running persoanlity and her 26 mile Marathon.

the editing on this one, particularly jess's bits, was so good ahahhahaha hats off

Sooooo much fun to watch!!!!!!!!

I would be interested to see a video where you find a professional 400m, 10k and marathon runner, get the 10k and marathon runner to attempt the 400m runner's PB, then get the 400m and the marathon runner to attempt the 10k runner's PB. (I think making the 400m and 10k runner attempt the marathoner's PB might be a bit cruel 😂and take too long). Because I'm interested to see how much specific event/distance training helps. I obviously think the 400m runner will not hit the 10k runner's PB, and the marathon won't hit the 10k runners PB etc etc, but how close can they get? What is the difference between a 400m, 10k and a marathon runner in terms of biomechanics and fitness levels?

Great going Jess!

This was such a cool video and I love the idea. Your channel is so cool and I encourage you to keep doing awesome videos like me.

That's great! Let us know how you get on 😁 We loved it as a challange!

I’ve done the home laps before and never doing them ever again. Think I did 400 laps with 800 turnarounds until I felt nauseous. Too many spins will upset the stomach like a carnival ride or roller coaster.

Challenge Idea: Pick a distance to run - you can look at the distance throughout the run but as soon as you hit the distance you need to guess your average pace before you look at it. Try to get your guess as close as possible. Something I’ve been doing as I have no watch 😂😂.

Such a fun video 😂

Love watching funny 😊

A challenge to improve some aspect of your running without use of your watch over a couple weeks or so would be super cool

Some sprint challenges. Finish 100m in Seconds, 200m etc. Would love to see you all take on some hard core sprint training

Please take on a fell race! The Peak District has loads of short (5-6 mile) races which would be fun to see you all try out!

We would LOVE TO!!

Pretty sure you've done this one before but it would be interesting to see any new tactics on a progressive blind 5k - each km needs to be faster than the previous and the first one has to be at least at HM pace

I would *LOVE* to see you guys try buggy running a 5km 😃

I think you need to do an RPE / Zones Challenge. You have a 10 min warm up followed by 3 lots of 10 minute efforts where you have to step through Zone 2, 3, 4 (easy, moderate, hard RPE) keeping your HR as much in each zone as you can. Goal of the challenge is to see who is more consistent but also to show how good each contestest can judge RPE.

I feel like I would go with Sarah’s approach since I work in both KMs and Miles. So doing the math has become like second nature to me.

I'd pick a normal overland road for my running, cause there's some marker every 50 or 100 meters...

I think you guys should try either the Netflix Physical 100 running challenge where you see how far you can run in 10 minutes on a manual treadmill Or How long you can run at the speed of Eliud Kipchoge’s speed per km! Really enjoyed this video 😅

Run a straight route for x number of times and guess the distance would be fun as well. No watches, just pure instinct. :D

If it's not against the rules to start the race wherever you want, meaning a known place like home, for sure an experienced runner already knows from memory some routes to run almost an exact specific distance.😀 I believe the winner here used in fact that strategy. Either that or she cheated, since the distance covered was to close to 10km to be reached with the strategy mentioned in the video.🤪

Specify not looking at a clock for the next run. What Jess did was borderline cheating.

James "listened" to his right foot, sarah "listened" to her stomach, tom went off of vibes and jess just ran till an hour went by

I don't care. I was still rooting for Tom! The clicker turned out to be a very good tactic, but there is always variations in stride and speed. Jess used the Big Ben tactic, and even though there were flaws in her tactic (Traffic stops, not running at a consistent pace etc), she trusted her gut and it ended up helping her out in the end.
