In the YouTube video Tim gives a brief review of the top and bottom 5. I recall one seemed a bit like you describe. The hardest couple seemed to be mainly on sand.
Is he Cornish by any chance?
Could be Lanhydrock, thatās pretty hilly
Heās Cornish in the way Iām Australian, you wouldnāt guess from his accentš¤£
But yes, he lives down there somewhere. I think he runs whiskey bars in London or somethingš¤·š»āāļø
Ben Parkes did one on sand which he said was hard . Might have been Yarmouth?
Woolacombe looks bloody tough
Does Woolacombe take in that big dune next to the beach? That would be awful
I think it does close to the end, ouch!
Iām surprised Widnes is above Stretford.
I can confirm whinlatter is pretty hideous. But very beautiful.
Wepre, 747/760 .
Spotted that one
Iām pretty sure that Ben Parkes did Great Yarmouth (rated hardest) and on the same day his girlfriend did the easiest which at the time was Victoria Dock I think, but thatās now moved down the list quite a bit using the new calcs.
I guess there are so many variables, but itād probably be good to have a list based upon summer and winter months as some courses are huge effected by the weather, and many have alternative winter/bad weather courses.
Yep, they show that in the video. Heās used clips from various YouTube runners, think that one was from Harry Morgan from Jog On.
Iām outing myself as a bit of a YouTube obsessive here arenāt I.
Still got 2 in the top 33 locally
Edit: and 6th slowest
I am as well. I really like Harry Morganās channel

Too much for me! Jog On.
My local courses are both in the bottom 50
Crap one for me. 25:03
Legs fine. Heart fine. Lungs screaming.
Asthma really bad.
GP on Monday for some new drugs
Disaster for me. Pulled out after 400mtrs with. a tight calf. LO ran on her own as sheād left Mum for dead already
Looking very unlikely that my 50km on May 1st will be happening
Actually made it on time but plodded round the first couple of kms before getting progressively quicker - 20 minutes or so, then did another mini loop topping my run to just under an hour. Coffee now then a ride later!
I got asked to pace 20.
According to the garmin as I was running around, my times at the kmās were:
4:01
8:02
12:02
15:59
And I crossed the finish line, taking it very easy down the finishing straight in ā¦
⦠19:33
So erm, yeah, not great pacing, didnāt stop anyone making it I donāt think, the guy I talked to at about the 800m mark who said heās tried going with the 20 pacer before and never made it crossed at 19:52, so hopefully I did okay - still a shit job.
Not actually sure where the garmin got it so wrong, seemed just consistently out even now.
