Loving reading all your food suggestions!! keep them coming!
This is the first time I've ever heard 50 miles described as a short race 😂
Checking what's on offer at the aid stations a big tip for sure, I did a 100k in the Czech /Polish mountains couple years ago and most aid stations all on offer was tea and dry bread with either jam.. or lard! The locals loved it but neither appealed. Luckily I planned to be pretty self sufficient (with a couple mini pork pies I swear by to settle all the sugary stuff on long runs). However at the halfway at 5am there was a glorious goulash breakfast which was amazing. Great event, one of my most proud to finish.
I can't wait to see how you did in the race - You are really encouraging me to run my first ultra!
Best of luck in the race to you and Ben. Looking forward to seeing your channel grow and excited for the content!
Thanks Sarah. Great vid and just the info needed to prep for my first Ultra. Best wishes for your upcoming race!
Enjoy your run!!! Keep moving 😉
Great informative video... everyone fuels themselves so differently. Look forward to seeing how you go.
Great video, so helpful. Good luck and enjoy the 50km 💪🏻👊🏻
Thanks Sarah, very clear and well explained.
I’ll try out some of your recommendations for sure.
Have a great race at the weekend.
Great video some really handy tips as usual , good luck for the weekend 😀🏃♂️
I used your earlier advice re back to back long runs and I used your advice re Tailwind from this one. I ran 100km last Friday (13 hours 2 mins). I had some of your food suggestions with me but drank only Tailwind. I was never hungry and did not have a single problem throughout. A great experience. My aim was to do 60 miles in one day at the age of 60 and I was delighted with the outcome. I did, however, have the benefit of my son cycling the whole route with me, carrying the drinks etc. And it was along a canal so no hills. Easy!
Well done on your great performance in the 50 mile race. You have a great positive attitude that everyone can learn from. Well done and thank you.
wow brendan that is AMAZING!!! what an inspiration! i sure hope i am still running distances like that into my 60s, that is awesome congratulations!! glad i could help in some way :)
Thanks for all the golden advices and tips !
Thanks for this. Have been struggling getting my nutrition right. This explained it really well and finally had a good strong run using your guidance
Walking my first 100k ultra on the south coast soon and this was massively helpful. Thank you.
I found a packet of soft mints helped to keep a fresh feeling in the mouth later in my 50 miler. Have a good race.
All the best for your race 💪🏻🏃🏻♂️🤙🏻
I have always said we are all an experiment of one! Getting ready to shoot my prep video, always nice to see what others choose! Best of luck!
Best of luck for the 50miler on saturday! I'm sure you'll do great!
thank you!
Have a great race and enjoy over everything!!! Looking forward to the video 😁👍
thanks paul!
Good luck Sarah and have a great race!
Great video Sarah. My two favorites are the honey stinger waffles and Maynards winegums. Have a great race!
Thanks for the info.
Good luck on your ultra.
Clif Shot Bloks are so tasty on a long run! Such a delicious way to refuel! These and dried fruit are my go-to’s
Good luck in the race. I enjoy nut butter and jam on a flour tortilla!!!! Taste great, goes down easy and plenty of what you need to fuel a long run!
Thank you!! Very helpful ❤️
Thank you Sarah. I learned new things from what you said. The next run will be my my fourth ultra but my first Ulta50km.
Thanks Sarah you inspire me!!!
So interesting 👍 good luck for your run
Perfect. Thank you for this vlog.
Doing my first Ultra in 8wks.
It's a 50k race and what you have for your intake is ideal for me. Not bulky and simple to eat.
Best of luck in your race, Sarah, hope all goes well! Cheers from Canada, Scott
thanks scott!!
A plus 1 for the Tailwind, I’ve recently tried some and it seems to work very well, keeping me fuelled without (as you say) unfortunate trips into the bushes!! 😝 Also agree on the Clif shotblocks which are easy to take as you run and no ‘sticky fingers’ 👍
Sarah - I have been following Ben for a while and just found your channel - watched them back to back today. Have to say inspirational and as someone else said you are a natural. Really interesting very informative top quality keep it coming and well done.Also SE London local so places I can run thanks
Thank you for the video! I've run 54 ultras and have whittled down my race day nutrition to GU, water and S-caps. That works best for me:)
Jelly Babies for me on my long runs!!!! Thanks for the great tips and good luck for your race!
Good Luck Sarah, you are my inspiration!
Good luck on your race!
Food = Mood, love that. Definitely going to give tailwinds a try. My latest fave is Peperoni.
Perfect thanks Sarah 😉👍🏽
Good luck in your race!! I've got my first ultra in Nov, and am learning so much from your channel.
thank you kelly! hope your training is going well! good luck for your race too!
Good luck with the run! Oh and a cheeky Wispa on the run 👍🏻
Hope you have a great race!
Good luck Sarah! You're gonna smash it 💥
thanks hannah :)
Thank you Sarah, very informative video
Thanks for sharing. I'm off to try some Tailwind now :-)
On my long runs I have taken homemade flapjacks and found they work well. Made from porridge oats, golden syrup, butter, and pounded seeds of choice (sunflower, pumpkin etc). Pounding them up makes them easier to digest.
Good luck on the race 👌
Great video, best of luck with the 50 miler. I have a marathon each week for the foreseeable.
Yet more great info 👏👏
thanks chris :)
Very useful ! Bonked at the weekend in my second ultra and it was not nice! But ruin was terrible, thanks for the tips!
Good luck! Can't wait to hear all about the snackfest ;)
Woohoo it's race time, Good luck with it, hope all goes to plan & no doubt you will smash it.. Awesome content.
thank you, i hope so too!
You've done 20 of these?! You rock! Great tips
Great video-best of luck with the race, Sarah!
thank you pasuth!
Great tips Sarah, my last ultra I just guessed what I might need, was a 50k race so survived. But your video has highlighted the benefits of good nutrition/calorie planning, so I will adopt that for my next race.
yeah it's also just as easy to get a bit carried away with it and over-plan but just taking a bit of time to figure out some rough quantities can certainly help!
Best of luck.Make us all proud of you.Thanks.
haha will try my best😅
I found my go to electrolyte mix at a half marathon race. Fluid Hydration sponsored the race, and I grabbed a cup and it worked so well I used it during a my marathon and marathon training plan this year.
Best of luck for the race
Good luck on your race Sarah!
thanks mel!!
Good luck and have an awesome race!!! :)
cheers jim!
We have those cushions! Great informative vid - thanks Sarah - class!!
haha good old ikea (probably!)
Best of luck on the race!!!
thank you sandra!!
Thank for this! Just about to go for my first over 100k event... This is super helpful
I'm running my first ultra (50 miler) in October. I tried many different things, and I think I've narrowed it down to tailwind, stinger chews, fig bars, plain potato chips, pb&j sandwiches, and gels. The event I was planning on racing in was cancelled, so I'll be running all 50 miles around the town where I live. 10 laps of a 5 mile loop, passing by my house (and aid station) on every lap.
9pm and this video has put me in the mood for a peanut butter and jam white bread sandwich. Thanks for the tip about Tailwind. I've heard it recommended but I've tended to use ORS electrolytes only with food of choice being peanut butter and jam white bread sandwiches and pretzels. I'll try out Tailwind.
Good luck and enjoy 😊
nākd. Blueberry muffin bars are great, very moist. Good luck Sarah!
Good luck Sarah!
Super helpful video, thank you! I’ve always struggled with fuelling long runs/races, so it’s great to have some ideas to try. Good luck with your ultra!
no worries eloise. definitely check out some of the drink mixes in that case because it allows you to fuel without even really trying to!
Sarah Place I will do, thanks for the suggestion!
I was reading the description of the aid stations for the Tarawera Ultra in New Zealand. I think they would finish me off as much as the run. One station serves tea and scones with china teacups!
Good luck with your run Sarah 👍
that sounds amazing😂 tarawera has been on the bucket list for a while, seems like it's just jumped up a few places!
Haribos are great . Tipp I gave to someone and he came back and said was great and easy to digest
Bananas and jelly babies for me. Thanks for the advice and have a really good race on your 50 miler. I hope it all goes well.
Did my first ultra trail last Saturday (first race of anything actually), 50k . Gu gels were awesome, and here's something to consider. It was very hot (35C) throughout the race and at one point I found a guy on the ground under a tree, seemed to be in rough shape and he confirmed he wasn't doing too well, asked for a candy or something. I had 2 gels left and some bars, but I don't think he could have eaten a bar so I have him one of my 2 remaining gels. He felt better and I continued, left him there to decide if he would wait for the crew or continue. But that gel I gave him would have come very handy 2 hours later, so my tip/ suggestion is to carry more gels than what you think you might need. Oh and aid stations don't always have what they say they are going to have...at least from my first experience (and it was a UTMB race). Great vid Sarah!
Good luck!!
Thanks for this video, i learned a lot. I did a 50 miler 2 weeks ago, ive done so many but still end up getting sick after 30 miles. I cant manage more then 1000 calories. I will try eating more often like you suggested and maybe drinking my calories. Thanks for this content and keep them coming!
That was much helpful, thanks alot for sharing 😅😅
Running my first 50 mile Ultra in December - ‘The Cheviot Goat’ and find your videos so useful 👍 keep up the good work !
just looked up that race mark... sounds SO AWESOME! good luck with it!
Sarah Place slightly scared looking at the terrain 😳
Good luck!
So glad you started this channel Sarah! I was wondering if you know of any beginner friendly running clubs around Central London or Stratford? Keen to get more into the community, if they've started up again after lockdown!
check out victoria park harriers or east london runners!
Good luck !
Good luck for the weekend!!! Smash it 🤩🍀
thank you beth! congrats on the swim run, it actually dare i say think it looked like fun!😅
Sarah Place thank you! 😂😂 it was so fun... although they shortened the last few swims due to currents but probably worked in my favour with more running 🏃♀️
Karina here- baby smoothie was a life saver, loved potatoes too. At the aid station oranges and peaches were heavenly.
Good luck for the race
thanks!
Good Luck Sarah!!
thank you!!
Good luck and remember to have fun! 😀 /Mats
All the very best for the weekend Sarah, can't beat a few Ginger Nut biscuits stashed in the bottom of the race vest, 50 calories a biscuit and good for settling tummy troubles, have a super run,
oh yes nice one jon, that's a great shout! ginger is supposed to be great for an upset tum isnt it!
Great video Sarah! Probably best to avoid all the foods that I am consuming for carbs....pizzas, burger and chips!
Good luck for the 50 miler Sarah!
thank you alex!
very interesting video, Sarah
Very helpful. What I eat is pretty similar, but I like to add a pb&j (or honey) sandwich or two. Best of luck on the race!
nice ray, can't beat a good pb&j!
Good luck, Sarah! I think you and Ben will be a good 2 hours ahead of me. :)
Thanks for the tips, will come in Handy as have my first 50 miler this weekend :D
good luck with the race david!
@@SarahPlace Thanks you to :D
Hi; just subscribed, planning for my first ultra JFK 50 milier. I use Gu (salted, caramel w/ 20mg caffeine), Gatorade gel shot blocks, Energy beans, a salty baked potato and 2 water bottles. I think everyone has to find out what works for THEM. You're videos are great! Take care! 😃👍🏾👋🏽👨🏾⚕️🏞️🏃🏽♂️
Best of luck with your race!
I've only done marathons so far and I usually struggle with the liquid /gel diet. I find that soft foods like mini chocolate croissants (for example from 7days) or banana loaf bars (soreens) are agreeable with my stomach even during a run so I usually have one or a couple on me.
yeah gels are certainly not everyone's cup of tea! but great that you have found something that works! those banana soreens are so good!
Chocolate croissants!? I hadn't even thought of trying those on runs, and I sure do love them. Thanks!
Love your videos Sarah, always lots of useful tricks and tips and from and independent viewpoint not fuelled by sponsorship. Best of luck for your run Saturday, I’m sure you’ll smash it! 💪🏼 Ps. Do you ever use Tailwind for HM distance?
thank you! yeah i just like having the total freedom to use whatever i want! and no for a half i would just take a cup or two of water from the water stops but if you wanted to carry liquids round the course with you then no reason why tailwind wouldn't be a good option!
Enjoy the Chilterns Sarah - missing the NEWS UK sessions btw!
thanks paul - and yeah hopefully the sessions will be back up and running soon!
Spring energy I find are really good
Good Luck at the weekend. For the marathons and 50kms I’ve switched around as you do the more as you say you learn. I’m on the gels and salt tablets currently. But great advice is take on early. As no point in waiting till you bonk before taking gels etc
yes nice gareth, the earlier the better for sure!
Best of luck Sarah. Love from Nepal, Ashish
Good luck Sarah 💕 Looking forward to seeing how you get on!
I like bananas and watermelon, salt and lime in water. Also maple syrup and honey work well. I agree with salty potatoes as well. Good luck!
Makes me want to do an ultra just so I can eat whatever I want!
yeah it's basically just a running picnic :D
Yep. Ultras are eating and drinking contests with some running in between.
Good and helpfull video! I am experimenting with dutch stroopwafels and tasteless elektrolytes and will add vitargo carbs scoops to my water also. But it could be that I should up my carb intake as I am 93 kg, but that does mean I eat on 3500 kcal per day so I do quite some carb loading every day
