Thanks for popping by! I''m a professional ultra trail runner, mainly running, usually long races in the mountains of the Alps.
This channel will hopefully help share some stories and things I've learnt along the way, mainly in the long 200 mile races.
Would love to hear from you, so please comment or email about anything - training questions, nutrition, logistics, sleep strategies, pacing, recipes for poutine...
Hope to see you out on the trails or at races.

Cheers! Thanks for watching!
Slovenija je zakon!!!... Naj tako ostane...zato ne promoviraj njene kotičke, ker zahodna civilizacija(mi smo le na križišču) prihaja si ogledati in hoče to imeti zase...
Wow, congrats on the race!
Classic goldeneye level, at least people weren't shooting at you
Didn't realize how gnarly this one was. I watched Jeff P's video after he did it but it seemed like he didn't quite cover it as well as his other videos. Now I know that's because he was likely dying during the race lol
It was his video that got me ready for the canyoning section! So thankful for that. Now that you mention it, I did love his Tor one better. Thanks for watching!
Awesome man! And "not recommend it as your first 200 miler", that hit hard 😔
Sorry i should have mentioned something before. 😊 Thanks for watching!
That elevation profile at 1:59 is wild
Makes me shake in my boots even looking back on it. Best not to look at it!
Great video, great attitude!
Are you gonna use Altra Olympus 4or5?
I went with the 5's. This year the 6's are out!
And this is it ❤
Thanks!
It makes parte of the job ❤ Have fun on your TOR goal👌
Where?
In Slovenia, in the mountains to the north of Kamnik and coming off a mountain called Planjava
@@GalenRun Hvala! Sometime I use the camping in Luce as base camp. I climbed Planjava, as other mountains from Logarska Dolina.
Sounds brutal. At least you got to practice your lobster claws. 🦞
For sure! A strong silver lining if I ever find myself as a lobster.
走路人危險，修路人更艱辛險❤
Yeah, I can't imagine getting the equipment up there and then operating it!!
Ma neanche con una pistola a la testa
I think I get used to it! 😄
Got to check if i have a nominee on my insurance...
😄 🤣
😬😬😬
Incredible drone shots with the snow
thanks! although can't take the credit for any of that, it was all the race organisers
It’s hard to fly a drone with lobster claws!
I thought Ho Chi Minh got cancelled a century ago?
Well, word on the street is Ho Chi Minh City is still going strong
Love your attitude that you take this experience as an adventure rather than a horrible time!
thanks! and thanks for watching! I tried it the other way around and found it much less enjoyable.
That sounded like a gnarly time!
it was! unexpected too as the weather wasn't supposed to be so grim.
Proprioception exercises mini band and LEUKOTAPE around your ankle 👌let's go TOR Geants 2024😊
Yes! For sure. Have been experimenting with all those!
Good stuff. See you 2024 edition
Thank you for watching! See you there TDG24!
I remember that 😊 You deserve it❤
The tiredness or the place? Hahah thank you
Your win I follow it because there was a friend from Sintra Lisboa at the Race @@GalenRun
Elite life is not easy 🙏keep focus on TOR 2024 every step you make is another level and you deserve it 😊 Keep working on it 👌Congrats
Thanks so much! Will do!
You make me remind a couple from Canada & Jamaica Marg & Michael that I met while tourguide hiking trails some very technical in 2001with them around Sintra hills nearby Lisbon and westernmostpoint of Europe Cape of Roca! I learned so much with them she was 70yrs old and he 75yrs old and we share lots of hiking values and stories and many miles during one week long😉 I've been following You for same years and I would like to see you as a winner of my favourite race TOR2024🙏 val D'Aosta ❤All the best from Sintra Lisboa 😉 Subscribed👌Also an amateur ultrarunner 50yrs since last decade with lots of adventures in Astúrias Picos Europa 1997 also Pyrenees National Parc Aigüestortes Catalonia 2006 Carros de Foc Route in November where Javi Dominguez Ledo trained for his win TOR 2017 67h and Portuguese Carlos Sá finished 4th place! Also Africa Continent hiking dunes in Mauritânia Egipt Lybian Desert Morocco😉All the best Galen working at Pena Palace everyday I talk with Canadian Visitors ❤ Love You all🙏 Thanks a lot for your channel and amazing sharing our passion👌
wow, that's incredible. that couple sounds like a great inspiration. thank you for following along! it's been a great journey so far, we'll see how TdG24 goes! Sounds like you have lots of adevntures pretty close by, but you should try the Tor, or one of the many other races in VDA. I remember Javi having one of the best races of all time at that years Tor. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts, I really appreciate it!
It makes part of the job as you know😊 I always use Leukotape around my ankle after rolling it many times ...I could still finish the races but I 'm an amateur 50yrs old but yeah severall 70k and also 100k 6500D+ elevation gain and can tell you are also a reference.Hope that you recovery well towards to the TOR2024 🙏Regards from Sintra Lisboa Portugal 😉
That's good to know. I've been using Leukotape for blisters, never thought about it for the ankle. Although this is the first time I've rolled my ankle this badly in 30+ ultras. Thanks for watching!
Haha, I like the quote that the bad parts are always ahead of you in an ultra
Haha, yeah, although not entirely true. Once you get close enough to the finish line, there's only so much that can go wrong
The question is: are you coming back this year? Cause if you do, I do have some EVIL plans in store for you! Muahahaha
Hahahah oh man, not more evil plans hatching. Not this year, unfortunately! Have a great time! It's a wild course
Try Adamello Ultra Trail 170km...phenomenal course and people
That's been on my list for ages. Just a tough time of year with all the other races going on.
I know.. but it is worth it
I'm going to get there one day
Those drone shots over the course are awesome
Can't take credit for those. That was the races' content
Another good one!!
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it!
You very much remind me of someone but can’t put my finger on who… maybe the ultrarunning Duzer? 🤔 Looking forward to more Tor content!!
Thanks! Although maybe I should hold off on the thanks until we figure out it is I'm reminding you of. Anyhow, thanks for watching!
😵💫😵💫
You're missing out!
Where's the running?
That's Slovenia, just north of Kamnik on a mountain called Konj
Your poor mother.
🤣😂 what she doesn't know, doesn't bother her!
@@GalenRun 😬 you're viral. Someone bound to show her.
😬😬😬
😂🤣
BRAVO!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Really like how you put this video together. Really fun and a new way of doing it, bravo! One thing that annoyed me, the interviewer said at the end it's such a fast course....is she crazy?
Thanks, man! And thanks for watching. Hahaha that's really funny you noticed that. I was half losing my mind at the time, but looking back I think she meant relative to other years
@@GalenRun I can understand you losing your mind haha. I will let her off, but I am hearing it more and more in ultra circles that everything is a 'fast course'.
Too bad about the ankle, must have been disappointing
Thanks for watching! Yeah really frustrating, but it's better to happen at this race rather one of the mountain ones!
Loved it! Great race and amazing job with the recap
Thanks for watching! Sparking an interest in 200 milers?
Well done Galen, I’ll be racing the 2024 edition as well!
Great! I'll see you there!
Like ✅ Subscribe ✅ now for the rear leg thing 🤔 great content. 🤙🏽
Hahaha thank, appreciate that. Rear leg thing is the scientific name for rear lunges.
@@GalenRun Ok got it 🤙🏽 haha I was looking for your training Vlog content is it on your channel? Thanks in advance

Hahahaha lovin' it! See you there in September my man, and you'd better run even faster! 😜
Hahaha yes! Glad you liked it! Oh man, I'm already nervous. See you in September
censorship on the foot repair lols. Great recap Galen.
Hahaha, it had to as blood apparently gets flagged. Thanks for watching!
Impressive, engaging, and honest retelling of the TOR...well done!
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching
I'm a fan of You also ultra trail Runner from Sintra Lisboa 😉 23years ago I met a couple from Canada & Jamaica Marg& Michael they hiked around the westernmostpoint Cape of Roca and hiking poles uphills around this área beautiful Sintra hill range! Henrique was 75yrs and She was 70yrs old what a unique experience that I got from them lots of fun she never complained😊Hope that one day maybe this year you win TOR ❤Maybe I'll go there one day Val D'Aosta 🙏Experience in 1997 Picos Europa Astúrias and also Pyrenees National Parc Aigüestortes Catalonia where Javi Dominguez Ledo trained for his win on TOR 2017👌Big hug all the best
This year I might put some more suffering into my Tor to make it to my new time objective! Great video, inspiring!
Thanks for checking it out. There's huge gains out there in the 200 milers!
Fantastic edit and video! Definitely do more of these.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! That's my main man, Alex, the editor with the skills, though.
Dang, 30m of sleep, 71 hours of running. Sounds like Hell on Earth.
Haha! One way to look at it 🤣🤣
Awesome breakdown!
Cheers! Thanks for watching
