I just finished a 150km hike during 7 days, I can't imagine how much more difficult doing it running must be. And when you said mentally yeah I know what you mean.
Congrats! Its definitely tough, but it does make the time go faster 😅
Absolutely helpful. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list.
K2 is for sure on the list, trekking the Himalayas as we speak
@@alexinsummer I'm not talking about K2 guys , I'm talking about the mountain which I mention Moses Peak from where you can see the highest mountains in the world.
Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower
Great recap
Congrats and keep on keeping on those trails 🎉
Thank you! Excited to be back on the trails after a few months off, it’s a great feeling 💚
Props for the fallout watch face haha!
He's always injured, maybe my watch is trying to tell me something 😅
For the first few minutes I thought you were holding an Oreo cookie, anyway fun video with useful information. Thanks
😂 glad you enjoyed it!
Try picklejuice instead of crampfix (second the most vile concoction opinion)!
Ooo, okay will try this - will take pickles over crampfix any day 😅
Great insights, thank you for sharing! Thinking about buying my first vest, with a 50km ultra in sight. What are your thoughts re: vest capacity. A number of people/vids suggest 12L is a good size, but welcome your thoughts on this? Thanks again, Simon
12L is what I used and it fit everything I needed during the 100, including thermals, head torch, gels/snacks and plenty of water :)
how do you deal with newbie shin splints. I cant seem to get rid of them and I want to get back into running. I have only ran one half-marathon
Shin splints suck! Med ball and rolling them out is usually my go to
@@alexinsummer can you still run on them and will they eventually go away?
@@Backwardsninja468 i still run and they usually go away, just takes time. I would recommend seeing physio, I always see one at least once a month
Try a different type of shoe, as in different drop and see how that feels.
@@GTE_Channel I got hoka Clifton’s and it is so hard to determine what is the problem. Is it stretching, shin strength, stride, nutrition, so many variables it’s so frustrating and there’s not much video on it
I’ve done quite a few 50K races and I can’t stomach anything
No idea how I can fuel myself to do longer
It can be tricky, my most recent race I struggled to stomach anything. On the 100, I just forced myself to eat small bites of food. Some fruit, lollies and a sandwich. If you're also drinking a ton of water with electrolytes and a lot of gels, that can also mess with your stomach
hmm... a mix of aussie and american accent.. if my ears is hearing rightly. maybe a tinge of south african accent?
just checked out your channel. NZ! bingo :D i was pretty close with the aussie part. love the All Blacks. big fan.
English is my third language - learnt it through English and American tv before moving to aus when I was around 12
