Simon thank you so much for your content. You have helped me more than any other source I have used to train/motivate/understand ultra running. Sorry in advance for the long story. My first ultra distance was last August doing a 42 mile race on the West Highland Way in Scotland. It was such a beautiful life changing type of run ive got the trail running bug now and watching your content has really helped prepare me for future races. I came away from that first mountain ultra with massive blisters on my pinky toes. The sizing of the shoes was right (I was wearing the speedgoat...5 I think). Since then to avoid blisters I swapped to a larger toe box shoe (topo mountain racer currently) and I have been using quality toe socks. So far no pinky toe blisters but my only races have been a mountain trail marathon and Badwater Capefear (52 mile). I know I am clearly a novice in the ultra world. Doing Grindstone 100k in September then hopefully my first 100 mile end of the year or beginning of next. Any suggestions for picking my first 100 miler? I value beauty of the course over anything else but I dont have the confidence for something like Ouray. Have you tried a wider toe box or toe socks to help with blisters? Thanks for all you do and keep pumping out this great content!

Biggest tip I have always followed is just focus on the next small goal, let’s reach that lamppost, let’s reach that tree, let’s reach that stone. After so many of those mini goals, you get so close to the end goal. Break it down, brick by brick you build a house.

You’re my favourite keeping it real ultra runner!! And pretty darn crazy which makes these movies even more rad!!

Haha I did the 50 miler and I felt the same exact way haha

Have you had blood work done recently? I think it’d be interesting to see if blood markers could show the impact of your recent race schedule. Bryce Canyons looks like such an awesome place to run. I’m looking forward to doing a West Coast tour of places like that.

Simon, you are my hero. That is hardcore ultra running.

👍

Movie Premiere Friday May 31st - 5pm pacific Here's the link: czcams.com/video/Q8oYgBZ97RU/video.html

Pretty informative video, but maybe wanna take a look at the chapter titles, like the one called "breeding" ;)

There's mile 69 again 🤣🤣

A fellow Canadian……can I subscribe twice?

Great advice I’ll try to remember it when the suck starts sucking,I’m doing my first 50 miler soon and appreciate your advice and videos 👍👍

Still training for my first ultra in July injury free so far thanks to your advice and videos! Thanks for all you do to spread the helpful info! Keep it up!

Getting ready to run a 2k, been training for 6mths.. I’m going to pace myself, maybe even walk a bit to ensure I finish.. crazy to think I’m going to run 2k…

Great vlog format! It's very nice to get an insight into how you are taking care of the body, mind and spirit around other commitments in between these epic races. Personally going back to answer questions from the live feed is very thoughtful, and shows what makes athletes like you so special to our community. Your "race only" videos are still super fun, so keep those coming, but this is a fantastic new format, and another great improvement to your content!

Great video series. Thanks for taking the time answering my question(s) and all the insight.

Congratulations 🎉 that race is like military training

You stated "it's frustrating to be so slow". I was humbled during my 100k (doesn't compare to your 250 mile journey) and I remember walking for a couple miles at a 16-20 minute per mile pace. I remember thinking how much longer those miles felt! LOL! So did your wife's tights help keep you warm? Haha! Well done and thank you for sharing this epic raceventure with us!!!

Thank you 👍👍👍

Thank you 👍👍👍

Seriously amazing job! You have been such a motivation. Completed my 25k last week and was thinking of your recap of Cocodona while I was in pain. It definitely kept me going 🙂

What running an ultra did to me was make me invincible over a halfmarathon distance. Training through a HM race? Sure. Running home from work on a Friday night, taking the HM scenic route? Bring it on. What I feel has happened is that my recovery is faster. And given your impressive stack of multiday races this spring, you must be the recovery master now. On the affiliate links - can Nora add her gear for the other half of your fans?

I wonder when people will understand Simon has an identical twin. There is no way one human can finish this series of races in this time span 😂

How come you run an epic race like Fuji just a single week before cocodona? Don’t you need some rest? 😂

Thank you so much 👍👍👍

Inspirational stuff pal, got my first 100 attempt next weekend. Your videos have helped me immensely in prep, not just with entertainment but with motivation and advice too. I know you're not the biggest youtuber but I'm sure one day you'll get the views you deserve. Outstanding

Is there a maximum age to start with the training for an ultramarathon?

Hi Simon. Thanks for the awesome content. Used your videos in prep for my first ultra (10 hours run) last saturday. Keep up the good work!

The videos are great Simon, I’ve been following you for just over a year now since I saw your comment on a Ben Parkes video!

Your elbow swelling looks like it was caused by one of the cactus species you might have brushed by accident. They can be vicious without you feeling it. Especially when you are sleep deprived.

So inspiring, thank you!

Simon you're a beast!! And I don't think I've ever watched a video of yours that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work!!

Simon, you have no idea how much these videos inspire runners looking to try their first ultra. I've run four 50k - 50m and finally signed up for a 100m. All of your content is very helpful.

You've been crushing it! All the Cocodona content including this video have been great.

Just subscribed! Thank you for your videos I am learning was to help my attempt in accomplishing my first marathon run in a race in Fresno California November 3rd 2024. I just ran 9 miles in 2 hours a few days ago. Just under 13Minutes per mile. I feel like I could have ran a few more miles but my goal was to run 10 miles or 2 hours non stop. How many miles per week do you recommend for me? Anyone I appreciate any tips or advice! Thank you all happy running! 🙏🏼📈💙🥵🏃

Thanks!

Thumbs up! Hopefully, you will get sponsorship soon. You deserve it 🤙

Awesome job Simon. Thanks for documenting your races and the great info in the vlogs

Just 🤯

Huge congratulations Simon! Really enjoyed this journey. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. 🎉

So inspired following along as you nail 100 miler after 100 miler with a 250 miler thrown in for funsies! Your tenacity is really helping to keep me motivated as I train, though on a much smaller scale. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get a sponsor (or two!) soon!

donc 1 semaine après un 250 tu as fait un 100..... c'est officiel tu es fou 🤣
