Two things to be able to finish an ultra: 1) nutrition has to be calculated and followed 2) your body (and I mostly mean feet) need to hold up. Take care of your feet, always. Good socks. Good shoes. Lubrication and friction management. Golden rules. Loved the video by the way.
Wise words Steve! Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
What do you mean by lubrication and friction? Can you explain a little bit more?
@@quetzalcoatlhermeticus8024 you can use toe butters and such to reduce blisters etc
Great advice. people need to understand that there is a huge difference between a road 50k and a mountainous 50k.
Yep there sure is Ron! 😊
I know the first time I did a mountain 50k I was so out of my depth! I got it done but I really had to suffer to get to that finish line 😮
Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Yes it’s a big difference even when you take the itra measures for km equivalent. 100m elevation equals 1km. You don’t account for how technically challenging the trail might be. For example my next run is 58km with 400 of elevation which would be the equivalent of a 100k run
@@mattschm5486 Wow. Interesting to consider that way of calculating it. I am registered for a 52K with 3,500 meters of elevation gain. Might have to rethink that one.
@@timedwards1921 you might. In my very limited experience. If you do these mountain runs. You can’t really go by splits but you have to go by percieved extertion especially on technical terrain. Expect to need way longer than you would on a flat run. You probably need to bring a running backpack with enough water and nutrition. I did a 39k run with 2400m of elevation in technical terrain and needed about 7:45hrs overall( i finished 89th/300). If you pace yourself and take enough minerals and energy it should be doable if you can run long distances. But depending on the terrain you will probably need double or triple the time you would for a flat run. By the way my run has 4000m of elevation with the highest point at 2500m. Unfortunately I had to cancel due to a business trip.
@@timedwards1921 that’s a tough run. You can probably expect to run way more than 10hrs. I would probably expect to finish in 11-12 hrs. But terrain makes a huge difference. My run was cloudultra.run
Brilliant little weekly summary- loved it
Great video. Great advice. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks Mike really glad you enjoyed the video and found the advice helpful 🙏

Just found your channel as I just entered my first Ultra trail marathon (50Km). Loving your content so far and I am sure will be really useful over the next 10 weeks.
Hi Jade
I really glad you've found us welcome to the Run4Adventure family! Really glad you're enjoying the Content on the channel and best of luck with your 50k 🍀
Thanks for watching 🙏
Thanks for the great tips! Currently training for my first 62k (kind of made up the course myself during these times), and you had some great pointers about nutrition & gearing up in the full kit. Thanks!
Awesome Jens! 👍
Thanks for watching and I'm really glad the tips helped 😊
Best of luck with the 62k, run strong and enjoy the challenge 🙏
Just signed up for my first 50k in September! Both excited and terrified!
Awesome, well done 👍
Any new distance for the first time is intimidating but as long as you put the training in and respect the distance you'll love it! 😊
Distance is just perception of the mind, if you think it's a long way it is. Do you remember when you ran your first 10k, it's seemed like a long way because at the time it was your longest run. It's exactly same with your first 50k 😊
As humans we are capable of far more than we can ever imagine and you'll find that out on race day 🏃♂️💪
Best of luck and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
How did u get on? Iv signed up for 80k ultra in april, first race of any sort, go hard or go home!!

Sweet! Have you run yet?
@@alexm1841 YES! It was 2 weeks ago and ended up being during a bit of a blizzard at first... 🤣🥶 But it was seriously so much fun. Ended up at 7.5 hours, which I'm stoked about. Now just have to sign up for another one!
@@DoseofDirt 🥳🥳🥳 awesome! You were definitely tested with the blizzard and pushed through. Good luck on the next one! I’m doing a 50k in October
@@alexm1841 You've got this! I'll admit that I didn't have as much training as I would have liked, but learned to take breaks when needed and take plenty of calories, and it worked out great! Hope your 50k later this year goes well!!
wise words jedi master!
Cheers Stuart, hope you enjoyed the video 🙏😊
Greetings from Arizona!!
My name is William and I'm training for a 44 mile hike/run across the Grand Canyon, rim-to-rim-to-rim (R3). As a 63 year old, perhaps you could offer me some advice on my nutrition. I just did a trial run across the canyon, 32 miles, not quite an R3. I generally eat gels, nuts, crackers etc, and this seems to work for me. I was on my feet for 16 hours... yes! I'm somewhat slow! My question is, after mile 27 I started to really lose my appetite and was starting to feel the 'bonk' coming on. The last few miles, I relied mainly on gels, this seemed to help but not sustainable. Should I consider eating more whole foods, sandwiches etc. There are no eating stations on this hike!
William:)
Great video !! Question what should be my weekly kilometers per week during my base season ?
Thanks Ishmael, really glad you enjoyed it 👍
When I'm just ticking over or building a base fitness I tend to run 30-35miles a week. Obviously weekly mileage is a personal thing but somewhere around 25-35 miles would be good 😊
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Just found your channel, great content- and funny!! I've recently decided to go from trail half marathons to skyline races in 2022. It's a whole new world, with a lot I need to learn while I increase my fitness and mileage. One questing I have is how many pairs of shoes you recommend having in rotation while training, and how you decide how to rotate them?
Awesome Kelly, really glad you've found us and you're enjoying the channel 👍
The Skyline races are epic, just get practicing on super technical terrain and you'll be fine! 😊
Obviously shoe rotation is a personal thing. I obviously change my shoes around quite a lot and I think it really helps with breaking up the repetition of running. Maybe have a shoe for longer runs, a bit more protection and cushioning. A shoe for shorter, quicker runs, a bit more responsive and a shoe for road running, if you do any road that is 😊
That gives you three shoe's to play around with during your training week 👍
Hope this helps, thanks for watching and welcome to our CZcams family 🙏
@@Run4Adventure thanks so much!
No worries 👍
Any activity where crisp eating is recommended sounds good. training for my first 50 km in feb.
Awesome Michelle 👍
Hope training is going well and the video helped 😊
Crisp are always pretty good in the later stages of a long race. Thanks for watching the channel and good luck with the 50k! 🙏
Good luck!!!!
Thanks, sir!
No problem, really glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching 🙏
Got my first 50k in 4 months, thanks for the advice and a good laugh!
Awesome Kody, glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful 😊
Best of luck with your 50k, run strong and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Got my first ultra coming up, 37 miler boscastle to Looe.
Did 12.5 miles looe to polruan, total quagmire and challenged me and I loved it, so thought why not carry it further.
Gone through so much kit change, but pretty much have it dialled in, especially the shoes love Altra no more sciatica.
The watch should be solid, but I can navigate using a map if necessary.
Calories need to be double, as yours truly goes through it fast.
Looking forward to it, but god it's daunting.
That's great Darren 😊
It's always going to be daunting when it's your first time at a distance. It sounds like you are getting well prepared for the race so you'll be fine. Just make sure when you are standing on the start line you are fully committed, the only option is to finish! We are physically capable of way more than we could ever imagine and you'll find that out very soon. Best of luck Darren and thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏😊
@@Run4Adventure Thanks mate, you're right I'm just worried about getting it all right on the day, so will be hitting the trails this weekend all kitted up, It'll probably be overkill, but you know it's all in the preparation.
Just need to figure out my food options.
Hey Hi I have a small question and maybe you know the answer...61 years old, run 10k once every 3 days on average and once or twice a year ill do 21k.
After being inspired by Alexanda Sorokin ive decided to try and run a 50k, so far ive done a 25k (2:40 6:24km pace) 26k (2:43 6:17 pace) and a 27k (3:11 7:06 km pace) over the last 3 weekends but my legs start to ache around 23 k onwards , the last 27k last weekend was a little cold and windy to be honest and that played a part only being 5'11 and 65 kg and I know i under fueled only taking on 100 g of carbs in the form of gels and nutbars plus 750ml water on all 3 runs (dont get me wrong i love the achey legs) but its getting in the way of my goal and just wondering if i need more time to build up the distance or im missing something in the fueling department ?
Good video. Thanks

Great advice and love your running double 😂. You said 'when I ran my 1st ultra' what race was your 1st ultra? I'm training for my 1st ultra in August. Peak skyline 50k. Fingers crossed it on.
Thanks Guy really glad you enjoyed it 👍 My first Ultra was Enduroman 100, in at the deep end! 😂
I had trained super hard, to hard I think and I thought I was ready for it but in reality I wasn't prepared at all! I would always now recommend working your way up slowly in distance, 50k is always the best place to start 😊
I hope your race is on and good luck with your training, thanks for watching the channel 🙏

@@Run4Adventure I'm dying. But I did it. I fucking did it!! Had to run in pitch blackness for 2 hours (way back home), BUT I DID IT!!!! Thank you. My skin has been completely ripped off on my back (had to run with full backpack.. inside were work clothes, steel-toe shoes, food, water, and much more). Tomorrow I'm going to discover what life like a paraplegic is like. Thanks again.
Well done! Sounds like it was a bit of an adventure 😊
Running with a full back pack for 50k is pretty challenging so good
effort 🏃💪
Go steady and recover well John!

Are there any running shoes in particular you could recommend? I ran my first marathon last week but my left foot now has a consistent dull ache and I think my shoes were a contributing factor
Hi Krang
There's lot of great shoes out there but a running shoe is so personal! I'd always recommend going to a good running store if you can and speaking to professionals and trying lots of shoes on, especially when you're having problems 👍
Well done on finishing your first marathon, I'd recommend getting some treatment, like sports massage it'll speed up the recovery process 😊
Hope this helps and you find a shoe that works, thanks for watching 🙏
Great advice, thanks. My first trail ultra is 50km Chiltern Ridge in 8 weeks. My Sunday long runs are up to 31km. Is it worth increasing to +40km over the coming weeks? What about taper? Thanks 👍
Thanks Rob really glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful 👍
It might be worth doing one 40k run just for confidence but I wouldn't go any further than that.
I personally don't do a long taper, I'll just go steady the week before the race and I wouldn't do any long stuff within 10 of the race. I'd still run just to keep the legs moving, maybe a couple of steady 10k's 😊
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
@@Run4Adventure thanks for the tips, much appreciated. I'll let you know how it goes :)
No worries anytime Rob 👍

How you keep your legs from getting sore/seizing up? I ran a marathon distance a few wks back(my 2nd one ever). I had thought about continuing to 50k but by the end was knackered(hadnt brought food or much water) so didnt. When I stopped running my legs suddenly became very achy and restless for about 5/10mins. Weirdly painful !!!!! Never had that before. I hate to think how they would have reacted if I did the extra 8k !! ....... So how do you get your legs used to that distance? Im amazed people can run 100k and their legs dont fail on them. Seems incredible that people can actually do that.
Anyway gr8 video, tks for the advice.
Hi Rozormiller
A marathon is a long way to run! Over the course of a marathon you'll burn somewhere in the region of 3500-4500 calories. The body can only store 2000 calories in carbohydrates so if you don't put fuel in while you run your body will get really depleted! 😔
Also it sounds like you need to be taking on more fluid. Running distance is all about managing your body, eating, drinking, keeping on top of everything. If you don't you'll just grind to a halt, the further you run the more important it becomes. If you took on 100k with a similar approach of not really drinking and eating, you wouldn't finish and you'd end up in a very bad way 👍
Obviously training and building your mileage up slowly is what conditions the body to handle the distance. I've been running distance for a long time now and the more you do it the more you learn, but you'll always have to go through some levels of discomfort, that's just part of it! 😊
Thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
HI JUST SIGNED UP FOR 55KM ULTRAMARATHON TRAIL RUN AND IM 14YRS OLD ANY ADVICE? THANKS
I'm running 3-4 times a week since august. I don't have clear plans for next year, but last week I saw beatiful 47km trail run event here in my country Lithuania which should be in October 2022. It is around 470 meters of total ascent so I think this should be quite "friendly" to such newbie like me. I did few local trail runs last montj with 300 vertical meters in 5km distance and I survived. My dream is to run a marathon next year and this 47km trail might be my goal. Looks like win/win: first marathon + couple of more kilometers and technically that would be even my first ultra, right? :D Looks crazy today, but I have almost a year to prepare, so why not? I'm 36 year old guy who was fit enough whole my life, but it is my first time when I am so consistent with my slow running training and diet. 4 months of work and I feel that my shape is the best in my life at the moment and my motivation is still growing. There is no way back. This is new me and I am gonna try to do my first marathon next year! And I'm slowly shifting from road runner to newbie trail runner, because you guys look badass with your vests and other gear, I hope I will find best trail stuff for myself, because I have nothing at the moment except Hoka Challenger 6 GTX shoes which technically are hybrid shoes between road and trail.
That's awesome and welcome to the world of trail running! 😁
Good luck with your training and completing your first Marathon next year. Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
My first marathon this October 2022.. Good luck!!
I have my first 50k In 15 days been running now for about a month and a half. Started out not being able to run 1k without stopping from being out of breath. But was running regularly and now the minimum I do is 10k I can do that comfortably. I done 20k today bexhill to Hastings and back was challenging and hard but still comfortable. Gonna keep going and will do this 50k soon
You've only been running for a month and you're running 50k in 15 days Jack!! 😲
Wow that is some serious fast tracking, go steady Jack you don't want to end up injured because you've done to much to soon 👍
Good luck with your first 50k and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
@@Run4Adventure yes your right im focusing on recovery to il post an update on the 5th about how it went
How did it go ?
@@duancilliers5870 still not finished I reckon
Well, I didnt think of number 5 lol. Just looked up the course and realized I’ve been training for thousands of feet of elevation change and the race only have a couple hundred feet of elevation. Whoops. Thanks for the tip!
No problem Al 👍
At least you'll be nice and strong for the race. It's definitely a lot worse if you'd trained the other way around, lots of flat running for a Hilly race! Thanks for watching the channel and good luck 🙏😊
any advice about back to back runs pls?
Hi Paolo 👋
As you up your distance back to back runs are a great way of upping your mileage in a way that's less likely to cause problems 😊
It depends on where you are with your distance or fitness levels but for an example you could run 10 miles Saturday and the 15 miles on Sunday. This will get you use to running on fatigued legs but is a lot safer than going out and doing a 25 mile training run! You'll also recover a lot quicker so you'll be ready to carry on training. Obviously if you feel this is to short in distance for where you are you could do 15 Saturday 25 on Sunday. Hope this makes sense and it helps 😊

I ran my first ultra, a mountain 55km, last summer, and one thing I really wish I’d done is trained for time on feet. I live in a very flat city, and in training I’d done a couple marathons - I figured that these were close enough to 55 km that I’d run far enough in training. Problem was, I’d trained for distance and not for time, and so I’d never run for over four hours. The ‘run’ lasted almost nine hours, and of course I was totally beat by hour five 😂
Totally agree Mark, I actually mention this in one of my videos 👍
We should always try and do a portion of our training on similar terrain you're going to be racing on. If you can't get to similar terrain then you should do your best to replicate it. A mountain 50k is very different to a flat 50k but I'm sure you're aware of this now 😊
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
Luckily, I live less than 1 hour from the trails that will host this 50k. The elevation is right at 5k and it contains about 5 different trail loops so I can practice out each loop separately over the next 11 or months to get used to each loops elevation.
Sounds like a plan! 👍
Hope the training goes well and you have a great experience on race day. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
How many 20+ mile long runs would you recommend for someone who’s had a solid 30-40+ mile week base but hasn’t ran more than 14 miles at a time in 5/6 years? My 50k is in 14 weeks.
Hi Stacey
I'd maybe try and get 2 or 3 in before your 50k. I wouldn't go much past 20 miles though, 20 - 22miles and give yourself some good recovery afterwards 👍
Hope this helps and good luck with your training and race 🍀
Thanks for watching the channel I hope you're enjoying it 🙏
Run 4 Adventure thank you so much! I had a feeling that was probably the answer but it’s always good to get confirmation!
@@staceybillig3144 no worries Stacey anytime 👍

Not really Gazza 🤔
I don't eat meat and I try to eat as healthy as I can but if I want a bit of cake I have a bit of cake! 😋
Thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
Could you kindly make me recommendations of nutrition for a 55k in a mountain?
Nutrition is super personal Marlene but I'm a big fan of Maurten gels and their drink mix. It's not the cheapest but it works really well for me. I'd suggest trying a few different things out before your race and see how you get on. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel, good luck with your race 🙏😊

My age is 46 so I want to run 100 km so I am in practice. Can you tell which protein is best
That's great B Ramya, 100k is a great distance 😊
I get all my protein from my diet I don't really use powder proteins or anything like that. I do sometimes use Fuel 10k protein drinks but not all the time 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
im doing one tomorrow, i normally run 10k 2-3 times a week but im going in the deep end tomorrow lets see how it goes im not going to drink anything too because even water gives me an energy dump
Wow, that really is in at the deep end! You're not going to drink anything!! That really would be a bad idea, I would definitely recommend taking on some fluid and nutrition. Running an Ultra marathon is very different from running a 10k,best of luck 🤞🍀
yeah i quit after 22km i was really sad with myself, i really thought i could do it. i thought i'd take a rest and stopped at 22km to take a drink of water at a fountain and then i had a sudden case of nausea(probably from water or stopping for once, probably both). The day was not ideal too, Raining(moderate) my shoes and socks wet at start of the run and what really made me stop was the extreme wind against me, its like running through a force field it really sucked. i thought i could do it though. water did not help my body too@@Run4Adventure
i think i would of kept going if the wind was not so bad. i like to think i can push my self to limits, my mind was just not ready for that. this run was all about pushing my mind to my limits. or maybe thats me making excuses for my poor performance :(
@@avinesh2746 Sorry to hear that but like I said running Ultra distances is a much bigger undertaking than running a 10k. It's something you definitely have to train and prepare for, it's the training that makes you physically and mentally tough enough to complete the distance. Running a 50k is definitely something you can achieve but you just have to be better trained and better prepared next time. You'll then be ready for when it gets tough, because it always does but you'll be able to push through and make it to the finish 👍😊
I have a 50km in a month. I’ve been running for about 1 year but I’ve never done a distance as long as that.
I hope the video helped and it gave you a few pointers Patrick 😊
Remember distance is just perception of the mind. If you think it's a long way, it'll feel like a long way! As a human being you are capable of so much more when it comes to distance. The main thing is to manage your body, fuel and hydration well on the day but most of all enjoy the experience! Best of luck with your first 50k and let us know how you get on. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏😊
Signing up for my first 50k. Elevation is going to be between 7,000-10,000ft. Is that normal?
Awesome Michael well done 👍
That's quite a lot of elevation for a 50k but it'll be ok. Lots of hills in your training 😊
Which race are you doing? Thanks for watching the channel 🙏
@@Run4Adventure lovin the hills 50k outside Louisville,Ky
Awesome Micheal 👍
It must be a very Hilly place where the race is! ⛰️
Best of luck with the training and on race day. On the day rember to stick to your plan, don't go off to quick, walk the hills, eat and drink well but most of all enjoy the experience! Let us know how you get on 🏃♂️😊
Awesome video dude.
I ran 30k a few weeks ago, and at about 28k, I was so spent, the last 2k took ages!!
Main problem was my food and water intake.
2 weeks later a ran a 21k, with a well structured water and energy gel intake, which was so much better. Set a new Half Marathon PB.
Thanks for all the advice. Great video.
Thanks Toby it's really appreciated! 👍 Yeap the further you run in distance the more important your water and energy intake become. If you hit rock bottom it amazing how much you'll slow down and struggle. Well done for the half marathon pb, nice work and thanks so much for your support and taking the time to comment 🙏
