    Happy New Year, 2023 is upon us and rather than do my typical "recap & goal" video, I thought I'd change it up with one single goal: to get everyone to tackle that one hard, impossible athletic endeavor they've always wanted to achieve. No better time like the present! What is YOUR GOAL? Time to call your shot in the comments of this video!

    Since my stroke and now Dystonia…. Everyday is a challenge. I’m now up to 25 miles per week…. Super slow. My challenge this year is to do the Canyons 25k. Not sure if my health will allow me to do it, but I’m going to give it a hell of a go. Not my longest run ever but since that stroke I’ve come no where near that distance. I may come last in the race but a finish would be like winning. This race is serving as the carrot in front of me to keep going everyday. It may not happen but I’m going to try like hell to make it happen . Fingers crossed.

    After an injury a few years ago I fell off running scared to get hurt again. Since then kids have gotten older and life filled that time I used to take to run. I’ve been desperately trying to get that back going again. I was hopeful to run a half last fall with plans of maybe getting to another 50k this fall, but never got there. So here’s to trying to get that half again. Oh and I’m joining back to the GRcrew.

    Later this year I'm taking on my first ever 100 mile race which will be my farthest distance by almost 50 miles! Furthermore, the Cowboy 100 miler will be in Nebraska which will be state 7 out of 50 in my quest to run a different race in every state, ranging from a road mile to a rugged trail 100 mile!

    I did the wild Duluth 50k last year. My challenge is to do it again. But the difficult and uncomfortable part is I am building a house now. So the uncomfortable part is fitting in training when I might not be used to it; early mornings, in the dark, using construction of the house as cross training, etc. I need to get to 50k fitness in a shorter time than last year and have a goal to cut down to sub 7 hours. Last year was 7:3X time. So it’s not a new experience, it’s just a repeat with new goals and challenges leading up to it. Second weekend in October. Last year we had 3 inches of fresh snow on the ground and 30F weather.

    @seans7513 Před rokem +1

    Last year after 2 years of cancellations I made my moon shot (after being talked into it by my brother-a fast packer) I ran Tahoe 200. Last year was also a really hard running year with a long injury that had me on a 10 mile per run milage restriction through the end of March (Tahoe 200 is now mid June) and an emergency surgery for my partner than left me solo parenting a one year old. After that mess it was a lesson learned that you can do more than you might think you can. This year I with run a 100 miler with (step for step) my brother who DNFed Tahoe. I will also get back to running "fast" in the fall with road 5 to 10 KM races. It isn't much of a moon shot this year, but may maybe Western States next year or the near impossible to get in Hardrock 100. Moab 240 is still out there.

    Been struggling through some injuries, and searching for inspiration for something big to celebrate my 60th year on the planet. A 60K race? Perhaps, but I have done a few 50+K runs in the past. So when I found out about a certain loop in Jasper NP that was very close to 50 miles, I figured that was it. Beautiful terrain, a good amount of climbing, empty trails on account of limited camp sites. It is still a long ways off to mid-August, but I’m currently running 10K long runs, so there’s a lot of improvement required. My daughter is coming too! It’ll be a long, fantastic and probably painful day, but we’re going for it!

    A marathon in April. Nice flat local one in Newport South Wales. Only 2months to go 😀

    My first ultra will be Way Too Cool 50k in a few weeks. Then Canyons 100k end of April, in honor of my late sister (age 38 in 2016). And that was going to be it- get my hat in the ring for WSER 2024.
    Then I saw Cool Moon 100M June 11/12.... crazy increase 50k to 100mile in 3 months, but I just may go for it...

      Oh man, sounds like some amazing race choices! With the 100, just ease into it and hang on. Keep training consistent (vs cramming) and you’ll crush it 😊

    I’ve got two big challenges planned this year. I’m running 50 miles at North Country in MI on August 26th to celebrate turning 50 this spring. My most exciting and scary challenge is a trail running trip on the TMB July 16-23. It’s 96 miles in 6 days in the mountains and a trip of a lifetime. I’m going by myself to countries I’ve never seen and running in mountains when I’m a flat lander from MI. It’s so exciting and scary all at the same time!! Thank you for all the vulnerability and inspiration!! We can do hard things!!

    I am late on this train because I have been watching mostly my local trail running content over the last few months but here it is: I was a viewer of the first Ginger Runner Live (one of the 80-something ones) and Ethan has been a great inspiration through many of my running "phases". Since about then, I have wanted to run an ultra. But then you know, life gets in the way, kids, work, moves abroad and back, never found the time (or the will to jump off that cliff). Here I am today. In exactly one month, I will be toeing the line at the Bromont Ultra 55 at the age of 40. I am super pumped, I trained hard, I'm mentally ready, and I will be rocking my OG Ginger Runner buff for the occasion. Thanks, Ethan!

    THanks for the update.
    I'd love to call my shot, and boy do I have some ideas, but my knee's been acting up and been feeling my age more and more, so experience guides me to wait a little before calling them shots. Hopefully, things will turn for the best for me, you and the crew.

    A great 1st video of the year! I want you to know that you have already inspired me to attempt the impossible. I started running again last summer to get in shape for a local OCR and very quickly found your channel. Having read the book Born to Run years ago, I was familiar with the concept of ultras and one has been on my bucket list since. I decided in December that I would run at least 1 ultra in 2023 and decided on the Cascade Super Ultra 50 Miler as it is mostly flat and on gravel. While my mileage and vert is gradually increasing, I felt that I needed sooner motivation so my first ultra will be the Tiger Claw 50k this year. Needless to say, I'm a little terrified at what I have committed to.
    Also, you have some of the most compelling and entertaining content on the web so no need to apologize for taking a linger than usual break.

  • @kalvin.
    @kalvin. Před rokem +2

    I have 2 main goals in terms of running
    Set a short distance PR this spring, and then jump all the way up to a 50K FKT attempt in the fall, bearing in mind I’ve not even run the marathon distance yet. Stupid? Maybe. Excited? Definitely!

  • @RosserRuns

    200k in June on the Loyalsock Trail in Pennsylvania. Going to do an out and back with friends. Over 20k of vert thinking a 3 day goal. Thinking of making a series on my CZcams channel to documentary the journey. 🤔🥳

    Last year I had a dnf at autumn 100 here in UK. I wasn't ready mentally and physically ran too fast at the start. This year my goal is complete another 100 the North Downs Way, but really respect the distance

    Started running this summer based on my knee surgeons advice. Beyond the rehab I’ve enjoyed it enough that I’m entered in the Oakbay half marathon on may 28th and the Victoria full in October. I also want to do the Juan de Foucault trail and the Baden Powell in a day. Not the same day😂

    I don’t know about new distances, but this year I have two big goals:
    -This track season, break 16:00 in the 5k. This one is a goal I’ve had for a decade.
    -Break the course record for a trail half marathon back near my hometown. Came within a few minutes last year, and I know I can do it as long as I don’t race a half marathon the week before, like I did last year 😂😂

    Funnily enough I'm trending the other direction for 2023, moving from ultra towards "shorter" races with the goal of setting modest PRs, though nothing concrete yet. Best of luck to everybody!

The second one is the SVP100k which will be my longest run ever. Both of these are in the UK 🇬🇧. Thank you for all your inspiration. Ginger running community forever ❤

    London Marathon, April 23rd. First Marathon, was due to run it April 2020 but... well you all know. I was so fir in 2020, then I lost it all and have been working back up to it. 14 miles this morning, but they aren't as easy as they once were.

    Great to see you back Ethan and Kim. 6 years ago I started watching your channel and for both of you, your energy, enthusiasm, humour and honesty in terms of gear and positive mental health made me realise I had found my tribe. That year I ran my first trail race in Hydra Greece - 26K. This year I entered UTMB TDS 29th of August. Fingers crossed I'll make it to the start and finish lines.

    Thanks I needed this today. I've been ill all of January with tonsillitis so initial goals for this year aren't going to happen. Slowly getting better and aiming to be back running regularly by the end of the month. Planning to do my first ultras this year. Hoping to do the Loch ness 24 and Dava way 50k. Eeekkk feels much more real writing it down.
