    Good on you Sean! I’ve been rediscovering running recently and have been loving it, however I have managed to shatter my clavicle by coming off my bike! I will rewatch this film in 6 weeks when I am allowed to run! 🏃🏻‍♂️ Best wishes, Simon Conway (perhaps a distant relative?!)

    Sean, from across the pond, congratulations on an absolutely terrific video documentary. At 72 yrs old and still running after 30 yrs your observations of just enjoying the run are spot on. I’ve run deserts and mountains. It’s amazing what you see in your environment when things slow down and your out just to enjoy wherever you may be.

I had just got home from some errands and mixed my pre-work shake..I sat down to drink it and saw the mi with the link.. I recently stated running again..I hadn't ran in many years. I will 60 in 3 months. This was a great fun story and good motivation. Thanks Marissa and funny running guy.

    Oh dear. I live just a few miles away, on the other side of the Clwydians, and have thought, on any number of occasions when out on a run or bike ride "Hey, that looks like the weird beardie bloke who did the great youtube video of JOGLE a few years ago". And now I find out it probably was you all along - unless there is another similar beard in the area ! See you on Pen Clodd sometime !

So many people get so caught up with pace, hr, vo2, trying to get that sub-3 , 4 ,5 hour whatever race they doing...But they lose the point of it all- to have fun, the thrill of traversing the landscape in the purest form there is, to adventure!
