New YouTube Channel

Hey guys & girls, I'd like to tell you about my new YouTube channel, Purple Running Wales. 

There are a multitude of YouTube channels out there covering all aspects of running, but it appears that no one is doing anything on a regular basis covering running in Wales, particularly in my area of  S Wales so, having bought some new camera equipment I thought I'd make the most out of it and start making running video's.

I have a lot to learn about making videos, particularly remembering to look directly into the camera lens when I'm talking, instead of looking around me as I do now. My first video which I published on Sunday 27th January about the Lliswerry 8 road race in Newport, showed me that there were sound issues when it is windy, where my voice couldn't be heard over the noise of the wind or, the camera was cutting out one of the two microphones as it recognised wind noise. So I've ordered an external microphone which hopefully will improve the sound quality.

I also need to learn how to improve my video thumbnails, those pictures that you see when choosing which video to watch, but there are a load of video tutorials available to teach me how to do this, I just need to find the time to watch them.

So here is my video of the Lliswerry 8 road race last weekend. It would be very helpful if you could like and share my video and subscribe to my channel.
