Oh right he already did that, but others didn’t….. Okay I have a different one: Running and swimming across Belgium! Alternatively Wales or something. Or maybe switching biking runs and swimming and choosing bigger country! The whole team too (all three presenters)!

I would love to know how many marathons the naysayers have actually run in their lives. I am willing to bet they haven't even done one let alone 7 in 7 days like Mark and James did. That is why I am saying, way to go Mark and James! You guys are warriors for accomplishing what you did.

I am sorry you had to endure the comments from the haters, I find that to be judgmental and terrible. That you accomplished the task, as people with “lives” too, is incredible. That you came back on air to discuss the feat, and admit the comments stung, took courage…these are things that some of us competitive athletes like to see, listen to, be inspired by…thanks for what you do…and i am not a tri athlete, i am a competitive rower who uses running, riding and swimming as cross training…but a competitive sport mind is just that…we feed off of the positivity, side step the hate, and move on. Thanks

Very insightful. I celebrate every ones achievements even if it just a walk to the end of the driveway. Comparison takes away joy. I have no desire to do what you guys did, those routes were at times horrible. I'll stick to my own goals. 3 duathlons and 3 Olympic distance Triathlons this year and the goal is to be top 5 in my age group, 65 to 69. (my age group not too many so I think achievable). Cheers

Would be good to actually hear you talk a little more about kit choice, especially with you facing the weather that you did, are there any particular pieces of kit you found that really helped? Any particular favourites or wind/rain running jackets? Any favourites for hydration packs or even, seeing you run through lakes and rivers of the UK, waterproof socks worth mentioning?

#gtncoachescorner @gtn Super impressive efforts. There are too many armchair warriors comparing their or other's efforts against other people's and downplaying people's efforts to boost their own insecurities. Ignore them. That being said, I'm new to this sport( I'm coming from powerlifting) and would love to hear more about the endurance mindset. How to convince myself that I have the power to keep plodding on at a steady pace instead of a max power strike attitude. I notice that I can psych myself out that the race or trail will never end. I guess the best example-and part of my training- is I'm summiting 26 mountains this year to help me to get rid of that give up attitude. My last hike was 7.2 miles ( 11.7 Km) on 8 -16.5%grade trails here in Colorado. I love the power of going up but coming down stinks. I stood staring at the bottom of a 16.5% grade hill I needed to go up and proclaimed that " this is the never ending trail" convinced I was never going to make it back. I wanted to cry and flop down on the ground right there. ( turns out that was the last hill and my car was 50 yards away from the top.) How do you push through your bonks? -I was Fueling and hydrating every 30 minutes. - the bad thing was that I was in zone 4-6 most of the way so my calves started shaking everytime I stopped at the end. Stretching out helped. -it took 3 days to fully recover My next mountain summit is only 1.7 miles (3.4 miles or 5.5 Km) but has a 27.5% grade trail and I'd love to implement some of those strategies...if you get to this before I go up there. Keep up the great work

One thing I dislike about social media is that it exposes us to so many extremes, exposing everything that doesn't quite reach those heights to criticism a la "what about this". What you guys did is an incredible achievement. Just running a marathon is tough and should be celebrated. Keep up the great work, friends!

Thanks for doing this video, I've been looking for some inspiration as I'm running 60 marathons in 52 weeks to mark my 60th birthday which was last August and to raise money for charity! I'm not as far on as I should be and it's starting to get me down! I've been working on a marathon a week minimum but sometimes missing them for various reasons, but now I'm thinking I might just include some 7 in 7s like you did or some double marathons to catch up! 😊 Enjoyed watching your video!

Well ... I think that is amazing and a fun challenge to make videos about. Don't listen to those complainers. I cannot suggest another torture for you when I cannot yet do much. I hope to do a first marathon distance run in 2024, but ... so far a half marathon distance takes me 2.5 hours and I have rubbing here and there and my knees are destroyed by the the end of it. I need to work out myself before suggesting you to do more probably :) Thanks for inspiring us with all these great videos.
