    Love the of the requirement to carry a collapsable cup - at a trail event yesterday in Ireland and easily a couple hundred plastic cups used/wasted. I'll start to promote this idea here!

    So amazing to have you back doing the Steep Life episodes. It's like seeing an old friend again after a long time. I know it's a big task doing almost daily videos, but I really hope that you will have the time and energy to start doing them again on a regular basis. Good luck with your training and racing towards Barkley. I will be following along from Denmark.

    @CRyan6969 Před 4 lety

    Thanks for this man! I'm running my first ultra in October this year. It's the shawnee 50 mile and I'm super excited and nervous about it. Seeing your gear really helps me plan for mine. Thanks again!

  • @verticalmax9094
    @verticalmax9094 Před 6 lety +1

    Super useful video Jamil! I think u should do these kind of videos before every race analyzing the type of race, weather, distance and required items. Here in Europe the approach is not so minimal and we end up carrying packs stuffed of layer, double pants...I know that's for safety purpose but sometimes it gets challenging even before a registration especially if you are on a budget. Any tips for reducing pack's weight without buying super expensive items? Can't wait for the race recap!! Cheers from Italy!

  • @richb8709
    @richb8709 Před 6 lety +1

    Great to see the videos back in play, Jamil! They always inspire me to get out to the trails. I really like my Sense Rides, but could use a more robust rock plate. They’re the first pair of Salamons that have the forefoot room I like. How do the Ultra Pros compare in width?

  • @thetrailtog

    @hilippu Před 6 lety

    More great advice, thanks so much! Jamil, you mentioned in a video a while back when you were running a UTMB race that some guys didn’t know how to run downhill properly; how about some vids on running form/technique?

    It's been a really warm winter this year. I'm in Logan, but I just moved from the Wasatch front and we've barely seen snow. I imagine you'll see some snow though depending on your altitude. But I have heard that it might get a little cold this week. Can't wait to see how things go.

    Thanks for the timely tips. Running first ultra this weekend (Everglades Ultra 50k) and have been stressing what to put in vest, and drop bags. Sunny and hot forecast (Damn!) has taken a bit of uncertainty out of the process. Please keep up these "How to" videos, they are very informative.

    nice! have you tried the Kahtoola NanoSpikes? most of us Colorado runners use them more than the MicroSpikes. they are lighter and less abrasive on your shoes/feet than the Micro's...plenty of traction, however. check 'em out sometime! Dharma Blessings from the high San Juans and kill it in Utah!

    • @runsteepgethigh
      @runsteepgethigh  Před 6 lety

      I tested them at the Running event real quick. I had no issues with the microspikes during my race but unfortunately don’t get much use since i live in the desert!

  • @jameswb8873

    Wanted to say thanks for the content. Long time runner, new to ultras. Was curious about sizing on the Bonatti Pro. I’m 6’ 155. Usually in between med and large. With it going over a pack do you have any suggestions. Thanks again for the inspiration. My first ultra is Dead Horse in Moab.

  • @expatadventureturkey9324

    Great idea with the cup, do we have them in the US yet? Small compact “my hiking cup by Sea to Summit” collapses but too ridged for running

    @Shibu11229 Před 4 lety

    How well does the BONATTI PRO WP JKT keep you dry in heavy rain? Last time I ran in moderate rain I used a Smartwool Merino Sport Ultra Light Hoodie and my jacket underneath still got soaked.
    Where do you store the BONATTI PRO WP JKT? Do you keep it folded up into its own pocket or do you stuff it into one of the other pockets in your vest/pack for easier access while you are running? Which pocket?
