Welcome to Great Owl Running
About Adam
Hi, I'm Adam. I am a trail runner and like to document some of my races. I have completed a handful of Ultra Marathons, a number of fell races and countless other things in between. I have had my share of injuries too! I am a not particularly fast runner, my videos are more about my experience as a runner and my videos are more about sharing the joy that running brings me and others around me.

Good video, Adam, really cool to watch this race as you were going through it. You always manage to film great bits like other runners joining you in the conversation and steam trains going past just at the right time, beautiful! Plus I liked the neverending vertical bits. Weldone!
Well done Adam for crossing the finish line of this brutal and beautiful Copper Skytrail also I enjoyed the film , thank you for this .
I'm just a man... a normal man Great work Hacker
Gnarly run with some epic views and climbs! Well done and great finish.
Did the steep descent with you off Lliwedd i walked out of the aid station ran for a bit then cramped all the way to Blwch Glas was brutal. Dont know how i managed to run all the way back to the finish
Looks fun. I'd love to get into stuff like this. Time never seems to permit! Thanks for the report so I can live vicariously.
Just give it a go, if you run already I’m sure you’ll be able to get round.
Great to run and chat with you 👌
When you realise your just a normal man 😂. Great running, well done 👏
some gnarly downhill sections in there, well done!
Awesome walking in the North Leeds Skyline route , a great way to analyze your future races . Well done Adam for all the hard work that you put in for organizing your several races .
I ran the Sprint and really enjoyed it. That first hill is brutal! Maybe I'll take on the Super or Ultra next year. Thanks for putting the work in to get it going Adam. I'll see you at the Steeplechase next month!
I ran the Sprint and thought the event was great. In regard to the Sprint I think one water station is sufficient, I personally didn’t use it and carried 2x 500ml bottles which was enough. I thought the route diversion down Caley Crags near Leeds road route was good and a better option than the original route, not only for the trail but also made the road crossing safer as you had better line of sight instead of coming out right on the corner. The road crossing after Bramhope coming back onto the Chevin was fairly bad to be honest, if the course routed maybe 50M up the road before crossing you would not be on the corner and have a better view. Will definitely be entering next years event and look at the Shadwell race. You can tell effort goes into the maps, best design and layout I have seen! Thanks for hosting it.
That’s a great idea re: Bramhope I shall definitely investigate- might be able to do it without losing the horses too
🔥
After hearing about your blister so early on I didn't think you would make it.... but you did, extremely well done 👏 👏 👏 👏 Happy days and your looks like its on the mend 👍
Quite scaring to watch you running on the rocks near Fairfield summit . Super video Adam ! Thank you for sharing .
Well done Adam! Was it on the same day as Pendle Cloughs the English champs? It was such a hot day, and you guys didn't have any shade there at all. Thank you for filming it, it was nice to watch the route with your commentary. I hope you recover well from your injury. You looked good running downhill.
Cheers Adam for taking the time to record and upload this. Very much appreciated. Were you not tempted to run yourself? Ps. Spotted myself at 1:23 and twin brother at 6:11.
A very interesting format , a kind of efforts and repeats race that I have never done before . A bucket list race for the future .
Great video! Thats my big, bald head at 5:23. :D
Great video Adam, I spotted myself at 4:50, a few flyers also further up the road.
Watching the different running styles is hypnotic
Another good video Adam, wait…did i just say video?
Brilliant run. Well done! My Uncle Frank was the first person to break 3 hours, back in 1960, so it's lovely to see the course for the first time.
Great running and effort. Best wishes out there.
Really nice video - great work
Dude! I just picked up a calf injury a month out from my pennine Barrier 50 mile this Saturday and I'm panicking as to what is going to happen on the day. Didn't know how debilitating an injury like this can be. Bless ya.
great film! wanted to shop for some Ts on you website (i love the great owl logo), only to find out you don't ship to euroland. gutted. :(
Nice video Adam. Think you passed me coming down off Whernside, my legs had gone. First DNF - this is definitely a course that will find you out if you've not put the training in!
Excellent video, Adam. Really captures the experience.
Brilliant filming Adam and achievement . I am inspired from your hard running on those massive hills . Well done to all the fell runners especially Emma C.
God Adam, it is so intense to watch like a thriller. I am on the edge of my seat. Hats off to you for running and recording your experience so well.
Great film yet again Owl. Ran it for the first time this year having just turned 60. Pretty similar zone as you, 5.10, and happy as can be.
Nicely done ,glad you.made the cut off,it was my first one myself.Great day out but legs were trashed at the end.Hopefully see you out there👍
Come back to Ireland 🇮🇪
See you on Saturday?
Finally!
Outstanding Video! Cheers Adam! 😀
Crikey thats a course and a half 🙈
Looking at your username you’d be good at two of those things
Well done! Despite her pacing attempts, you still finished ahead of the "turquoise jacket"! You had me on those last narrow downhill sections! 👏👏
Only just, only just! If there were another hill you’d have had me.
A brutal 13 miler , and that was a great performance and I enjoyed the film , well done Adam !
Nice video, congrats. 👍 It brought my memories back about that race day.😊 How did you achieve that steady footage? Was it a selfie stick combined with camera stabilization or gimbal?
Years of running with a stick mixed with in camera software I think, don’t really know the techjnical details
Great video, I got to re-live it from the comfort of my living room 😂 Tough, gnarly course, but quite fun 👍👍
Ooh Agh up IMRA.
HA! Welcome to Ireland! I hope you enjoyed yourself!
Videoing mid race means you're not really racing. And you're likely annoying those around you. It's just not fell running.
I know a few people who would disagree with this. But yeah let’s let the sport I love fail to evolve and be lost in time and troll each other online instead, far more productive.
@dwell it's just my opinion, I'm not trolling you. Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they're trolling you. Everyone I know who's has been around fell racing for more than a couple years agrees with me - but that's only anecdote just like yours - and include multiple Fell champions past and present as well as other legends of the sport you'll be familiar with. It's an evolution away from the core tenants of the sport we love. To my eyes, it's a way for individuals to commodify fell running just like everything else is commodified now. In a seperate angle, whats the point in entering a race if you're not racing? Just taking up another place? What about races that fill up with people who want to race not able to because of gopro look at me runners.
@@runwithme9643 sorry I misunderstood as you stated your opinion as fact. Your opinion sounds a bit elitist to be honest, the hills are for sharing. With regards to “taking the place of serious racers” yeah well let me know when a fell race sells out. I make these videos for the art and to share the fells with people who might not be able to make the races themselves. Also pretty offensive to assume I’m not ‘racing’. Perhaps I’m like many entering races to improve my fitness, so I can race an A Race later down the line. Anyway, I’ve given you far too much thought, thanks for watching.
@@AdamNodwell fell races sell out ALL the time, are you kidding? What of every single champs race and almost all the classic short/mediums along with other popular races. I agree, the hills are for sharing but this is a race, go race it, your performance would be even better if you got your head down and forgot about promoting yourself to an external audience. You aren't racing if you're busy videoing too. Commit fully, you'll go faster and get fitter too. Finally, I think your video quality is excellent in terms of editing and in general capture. You're clearly skilled at it and have a great eye. I simply don't think it's the place to do it for multiple reasons. And many others agree. It's simply not culturally fell running.
@@AdamNodwell P.S. I hold no ill will to you personally. I disagree with the self promotion of ones self using fell racing as a means to do it.
Looks like you really enjoyed it,great scenery.Hopefully see you at rhe Coledale Horseshoe👍😁
Fabulous views out there. Best wishes on the next.
Looks a great race. Might need to add it to my calendar for next year. Looking forward to the 3 peaks, my fifth this year.
Awesome running Adam and beautiful footage too . Well done to everyone .
Looks doable! Love the ‘ah it’s great owl running’ chat
