Mark G : The Test Run - Invidious

Mark G : The Test Run

Welcome to my running vlog, looking at running training, trails, form, drills, heart rate, gear and all the other things I encounter on my journey from a beginner runner to a better runner!

I take a light-hearted and fun approach to vlogging about my progression, as I learn about cadence, posture, what clothes to wear, nutrition, weight loss, how to warm up and cool down properly, running in snow and rain, recovery, and races.

As a new running YouTuber, I still have a lot to learn and I am documenting the process so we can learn together and have a laugh whilst doing so.

Since starting the channel, I have now run on two 10k races, one half marathon, and one 50k ultra marathon. I've signed up to run another ultra in May 2024 and will be vlogging my training, as well as the race. ParkRun is also something I'm keen to try out in future.

Please SUBSCRIBE to follow along and enjoy the journey. It's free to do so :) Thank you!
