Last month I ran a 55KM Ultra Marathon in Newcastle and Gateshead. The race is called the Ultra North 55. www.ultranorth...
This was my 2nd ever UltraMarathon and arguably my best effort to date. The first Ultra Marathon I ran was 75KM across St Cuthberts trail which can be seen here: • Running My First Ultra... It was pretty brutal but I can safely say I fell into some similar traps this time around again!
Strava details here: / strava
THE ROUTE:
Starting and finishing in Derwenthaugh Park, ULTRA 55 and TRAIL 25 participants will start their tour of the region just a short distance from Newcastle.
ULTRA 55 participants will travel through Derwenthaugh Park until they reach the River Tyne, then following the south side of the river through Gateshead to the farthest eastern point of the route, where runners cross the Tyne using the Millenium Bridge.
Participants then travel west on the north side of the river, using the Hadrians Way and Wylam Wagon Way arriving in Wylam. Then heading south and east participants will cross from the Tyne Valley through Chopwell Woods back into the Derwent Valley, then using the Derwent Walk participants will make their way east to reach the finish line.

Filming:
I pretty much self filmed the whole video using a Go Pro Hero 8 which I found to work absolutely amazingly. I cannot fault the Go-Pro Hero 8 at all. I edited the video using iMovie... Something which worked fine, but not I am sure there will be better software out there, it did the job fine though.
If you liked the content what a thumbs up and subscribe, im hoping to get out and do some more videos in the near future. Thanks for tuning in!
Didn't know about this one, thanks - going to sign up for 2024. But first The Lap 75k!
Awesome mate - smash it!
I signed up for this if it’s the one around Windermere! How did it go? Looks hellosh elevation
You have such a pained expression. Do you take it up the chutney?
When I said comments always help the video out this wasn’t what I had envisaged 😂
Would you say trial shoes are a must or would road shoes be recommended if is dry conditions? Looks like plenty of pavement
Also fair play on the effort put in by the lads! Looking foreword to doing it in a few weeks, although I think the route has changed slightly
Road shoes would be fine mate, the majority of the first 25K is flat / paved. Then it gets abit hilly and slight technical uphill. But then the down hill through Chopwell is pretty well worn woodland paths. You’d be sound in either mate, whatever your most comfy in I’d say.
Cheers fella, it’s a class route, Ah really what changes have they made?
@@caniultrarun859 More road, less forest this time - but they left in anklebreak alley I think which should be fun tomorrow :)
@lc1577 love it mate
