Coming from Indiana and spending a week at elevation for this race was not easy! Enjoy this long form video where I share all the ins and outs of what it takes!

Currently 15 and in cross country. Leadville is one of my future goals.
That's a great goal!!
Just watched Leadville 100 another great insight into the world of ultra running loved working my way though all you videos hope to come over to the States one day and run an ultra 👍👏👏👏
That’s awesome!! Hope you can!
Dude, that's an amazing video, nice job! I'll watch this vid for the rest of my life! An incredible experience, glad I got to share it with you and the IN crew. More to come.
Yeah bud! More to come for sure!!!!
Great video, Ryan. Really captured the spirit of an event many of us hope to take on one day. Tell John he's an absolute beast.
That’s so cool to hear, thank you so much! I’ll definitely remind him that he’s a beast!!!
Great video! I was in Vail this summer and had the chance to go up to Leadville for a day. It awesome! I can't even imagine what the energy is like on race weekend.
That’s awesome, Vail looks beautiful! The town was full of energy for the race weekend!
These are great race videos, Ryan! They're a great inspiration for when the races open up again. Keep them coming!
Thanks!!! We will hopefully be getting back to normal soon!!
@@RyanClaytonFilms Counting the days
watched Run Rabbit Run and now this.......i'm so hooked......i'm a Beast Coast trail hound living vicariously through your amazing videos.....going to get to all of them........superb stuff....you are so talented!!!!!
You are so kind, thank you! Beast Coast!!
You are an inspiration to all! Thank you!
Thank you so much, that means a lot!!
Awesome film, really conveyed what it must have been like being there
Hi Ryan, congrats for the race and the video, it's wonderful and I think that you did a great job like a pacer, well done¡¡¡
Thanks you Ignasi, I’m so happy you thought so!
Nice to see some of the event and course. Well done.
Thanks Kerry, glad you liked it!
Watching it again, 19:41 I absolutely know you edited the video at that point. Bad things were coming out of my mouth! lol!
Hahah had to keep it family friendly! 😜
@@RyanClaytonFilmsand thank you for doing so...being family oriented isn't a bad thing...
You did an awesome job, John, @john truelove. I’m very inspired by you. Congratulations on completing the Leadville 100.
100 miles...insane. Running over 30 hrs...insane. The beauty and technical challenge...insane. Such a great video
It is!! Thank you so much!!!
i like the fact that in this video, you've showed a little bit more terrain than other L100 videos. that one part with boulders looked alot like HR100. i cant wait for the day i run this.
Thank you! It's a lot of work lugging around even a little camera over those big mountains, glad you liked it! Good luck getting into this race and running it!
My bf told me about Leadville, it’s amazing and congrats for the race!!! I hope I get the physical strength to do it.
Awesome! Yes it is absolutely amazing country out there!! Good luck!
What a wonderful place to run.
Really wish I had landscape like that to run in.
It truly is a special place!!
“If you quit, you’ll own that pain forever.”
Such a good quote!!
A bit dramatic
@@richardfoy1 Everything about the Leadville 100 is dramatic, and it deserves every bit of the drama! 😄
@@RyanClaytonFilms No. I get it alright just think the above quote is a bit dramatic. If some unforeseen issue arises and DNF is required so be it and move on and prepare for the next meeting, that's all!
Richard Wyn for sure!
Great on course footage! I want Leadville to be my first 100
Thanks!! It’s a good one, you won’t be disappointed in your pick!
Great video, I want to get into filming running so I appreciate you sharing what you use in the bio
Sam, that is awesome and exactly why I do it, cheers! And good luck getting into filming!
This is a hell of of good video. I really enjoyed it. I can't believe you don't have more subscribers. I run half marathons and 10km races. I'd love (in theory!) to run Leadville but in reality I don't enjoy runs beyond about 30km. I have a lot of respect anyone who can finish (or pace) a race like this. All the best, mate..
Thank you so much Matthew!! The more of these videos you watch the more likely you are to sign up for one, be careful 🤣
Awesome inspirational video
Thanks!
You made it look so easy.
Even though is video is from a while ago I just watched it and it’s so inspirational. I’m running Leadville this year coming from the Netherlands so the terrain couldn’t be more different. Love your music choice, do you have a Spotify playlist I can follow? Cheers.
Love your videos!
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing!
And thank you for letting me know!!! 👏
Great set up and tunes
Thank you so much, I spend so much time trying to pick the right music, glad to hear that people notice!!
Great video!
Thank you!!’
Awesome 🏃♀️
I thought this was a great video. Thanks a lot for sharing it.
Thank you Eduardo!!
You’re welcome!-please call me Ed 😃
Well done 👏
Thanks Michael!!! 🙏
Another great “story” video! I know it had to hurt not making the 30hr. cutoff, but he didn’t quit! 100miles!!! Awesome!
Ryan, while running did you use a gimbal with your GoPro5 or selfie stick or just GoPro??
Thank you!! Yeah, he still finished, but knowing the finish line was literally around the corner as 30 hrs hit was tough. During training runs, I use the go pro gimbal but during races, just a minimal selfie stick. Thanks!
Thanks Ryan, I hope you know how much I appreciate your time, effort, and sacrifice while spending time with me on the trails in Leadville Awesome Video and so glad I reached out to you, very professional done. Mt. Massive was the best.
Thank you so much John. It was a blast and I’m so happy I could be a part of it. Good luck this weekend at the IT100!
Ryan, awesome work out there, with both the camera and the support! Question for John... thinking back on it, what would you have done differently (that could’ve gotten you under the 30 hr mark)? I’ve entered the lottery and I’m already over-analyzing it before I’ve officially gotten in, lol
I’ll answer that, don’t eat the ramen!! 😂 John might have more to say, but he got sick off that and it took a while to sort out. I had about 10 cups of it so I don’t think it was spoiled, just didn’t sit well for John.
@@RyanClaytonFilms That ramen definitely was my kryptonite! Thanks for editing out any bad comments I made at the Twin Lakes aid station.
Haha
Great job filming and pacing. Being a flatlander like my self do you walk every hill or to use a guide of some kind. My next 50k has some very big climbs and I don’t walk all of them
Thanks!! I think it depends on the grade and length of the climb, if there is heat or humidity, and how competitive you are in the race. Personally, in ultras I will hike most climbs and then try to run hard down them, but that’s me and that advice might be bad for others! I am a pretty quick uphill hiker and can catch a lot of people. Then running downhill can burn up your quads also but I haven’t had that issue yet. If you want to get some data behind it, maybe use a heart rate strap and stay in a certain place, zone 3 for example, on the climbs and then try to recover on the downhill and flat parts. Training and race day should mimic each other, so go out and test what you’re thinking about doing. Hope that helps, let me know if you have other questions! 👍
Your videos are awesome and really flying under the radar. Great job! If you ever want a podcast guest, be happy to be on the show. I've done a few podcasts (not in the running realm) and many ultras.
Thanks for the kind words!! That sounds great, keep in touch!
I got that same red/black Saloman shirt lol
Awesome!! I love it! Wore it for the first 50 yesterday and today at Run Rabbit Run!
Ryan - which Salomon jacket are you wearing? Bonatti?
Yep, the light blue one is the bonatti, and the dark blue one I wear while running is Altra’s half zip jacket. I love them both and have worn them durning many races and training runs. Thanks for asking!
Feel like this should be my first 50k out of Canada, weather and forest is not too different , because tackling other beast
Go for it in 2021!!! It’s an incredible race!
Some excellent footage and race coverage, however (and maybe billy yang has ruined me for running movies lol), but I feel like you missed an opportunity to tell your runner's story and really showcase his achievement and what he went through... Friendly feedback and GL with future vids and training :)) cheers
Thanks for the feedback! We discussed this being a doc style video about him and he wasn’t that interested, so it ended up being a vlog style video about me and my trip mostly. Storytelling is definitely where I want to focus though. I’m just about done with the video of my trip out to Colorado for Run Rabbit Run a few weeks ago. That one will definitely have more of a storyline. Hopefully you’ll like it, let me know what you think when I post it. Shooting for it to go up on Monday! Thanks for the comment and have a great day!
Well I think You are awesome ...........
is there a qualification process to this race?
Not that I know of. But it is a lottery, so it might take a year or two before you get in.
Did the runner that you were pacing finish in over 30 hours like 30:13 ? He shouldn’t be getting a finishers medal if he went over 30 hours, That diminishes the accomplishment
Leadville has different awards for different time limits. You have to finish in under 30 to get the buckle, but you get a medal if you finish in under 33 hours or something like that.
@@RyanClaytonFilms okay, I wasn’t aware of that last part, when I was there in 2011 I don’t believe they did that
@@the_E4_Mafia I might also point out a runner still has to make all the cutoffs which is a huge accomplishment for sure 😀🏃♂️🏃♂️
@@marlinweekley51 agreed
