Pikes Peak Ascent, 13 miles of grit and glory up the side of a 14,000-foot mountain here in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Pikes Peak sits at the base of the front range just outside of Colorado Springs and Manitou Springs. In today's running vlog I give you some ideas and tips for training for the Pikes Peak Ascent. I will be curious to read the comments for past veterans of the Pikes Peak Ascent race. The Pikes Peak Ascent course can be tricky to master, but I do believe this vlog will help outline some of the unique characteristics of the Pikes Peak Ascent course. And yes, I can't wait to toe the line for the Pikes Peak Ascent 2019 edition of this classic American high altitude running race.

this idea of running above a tree line is just so foreign to me. it's otherworldly
Right! Oh it hurts.
I am running the Ascent for the first time and training in the flatlands of Kansas. Thank you for the advice and view of the trail.
Still enjoying these older videos! Thanks Seth
I've done the ascent three times and I would really recommend it! Your advice is Right On Target. The first three or four miles are really tough so go easy at the beginning or you'll regret it later on.
So nice to see you really getting back out and up there! Mountain running vids should come with a "Trails on CZcams may be steeper then they appear" warning. That trail looks so beautiful, and on screen it doesn't look all that bad except the above treeline section that you can get a clear shot of how it snakes itself up the mountain. But the numbers tell a different story, I would probably need a full day and a picknick up that mountain!
Dag Ole Kristoffersen I was thinking the same! All day trip! 😆
I don’t know how long I’ve been watching the vids here but I really enjoy them here at 7am on the east coast... such an enjoyable way to start my happy birthday day! Better than nat geo! Turning 22 is awesome! Course this is like my 24th time turning 22 but thanks to running and quitting marbie lights I’m feeling great! Thank you Seth for the motivation and inspiration! Bless you all!
Deadbuck73 happy birthday mate.
michael ormond robinson thank you sir!
Happy birthday man.
Doing the Ascent this year. From the plains of central Kansas.
ASCENT. I’ve hiked the course (20 years ago) right after high school. I’d love to run the marathon. Great video!
In 2017, I did the Ascent for the first time. Great experience. In 2018, I did the Pikes Peak Double. The Ascent was cut short this year for weather. I did better on the ascent portion of the Marathon. Key advice I have is to keep moving. Even if it's baby steps. Don't stop. It's hard to get moving again. And best advice is don't look up. Once you hit tree line, yes the views are amazing, but it does something mentally to you. Possibly the "I have to go all the way up there to finish" hitting you like a freight train. Smile and have fun people! Know that those last miles can take a long time. Throw pace out the window at that point. Some take 30-45 minutes to get through. Have a great time Seth!! Maybe I'll see you at the top if I get a chance to volunteer again.
Brilliant advice Lynne!!!
The two thunders rule. I like it.
Never have raced it, racing in my state XC and a half marathon. One day, I hope to race the Pikes Peak Ascent but as I live in Australia it's harder to find places to run at Altitude. Nonetheless, unbelievable footage. Keep up the great work Seth!
The trail looks so good!
wow your videos are amazing seriously ❤️
Glad that I came across your vlog...great information on the course! I'm planning to do the Ascent in 2020 for the first time. I'm coming from MD.
Great video, thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it.
I would love to do it. I train in Houston , super flat . I am worry about the elevation. Thank you for all the details and advice. Thanks !
Impressive views! 😍
Coming back to this Vlog and looking forward to 2021as PPA was cancelled in 2020 - great insight and can’t wait to officially run this race!
Running the ascent this year. I’d kind of lost the love of running after a D1 collegiate track career but after a few years away from it and moving to Colorado Springs last fall these trails have reignited the fire. BTMR here in less than two weeks as a tune up. Enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work!
Dude! See you there! Where did you run?
Seth James DeMoor I was a sprints and LJ guy at Purdue. Definitely genetically fast twitch but really enjoying longer efforts in the mountains and seeing the aerobic gains keep rolling in. Goal is to dip under 3 at the ascent. Save some donuts for me at the top 👍
Super helpful!!! I loved the mile by mile updates, as far as the grades go and land marks to look for. Definitely taking lots of mental notes. I’ve done 16 14ers and have plans to do Pikes this week but running it is a different beast. I plan to run at least 70-80 percent of this race. I’m well adjusted to altitude but new to this kind of racing and I know what your body feels like at 12,000 plus feet. It can be brutal. Luckily I’m in Castle Rock so it’s right up the road.
Super pumped to be running this year! I’ve been dreaming about this run for a couple years now and we are only about a month out!!!!!!!
Looks absolutely beautiful
I'm in the race. Good course overview. I especially agree with your assessment of miles 8-10, typically my toughest challenge section.
Sounds fun, I’d love to do it someday
Hey Seth, i'm 17 years old and live in Kansas City. Being at 800 ft of elevation for most of my training should be interesting but i'm signed up and racing the Ascent this year. Really looking forward to it!!!
Yes!! Mad respect
Thanks for recommendations
Another Great Video👍
Thanks Gus for being a faithful viewer
Ascent
Team Jefferson’s man Zebulon attempted an ascent, though caught without the appropriate Salomon footware failed to reach the peak, settling for something smaller and more suitable to his Peg 36 Trails. If it was in Australia it may have been named Piker’s Peak. Peace out.
😁😁😅
Oh my gosh! I was just running their last Friday! Give me a shout when you're in town I would love to buy you lunch coffee or a cold beverage of your choice!
I have never raced Pikes Peak before but would love to do it someday.
Live in Illinois at 565’ el. Have run the PPM 2017 and 2018. (Have to skip this year so ran PP ultra last weekend) . Fell 2017 on descent on that loose gravel you point out around 4.5 and took 7 stitches in left knee. 1. Be careful on the easy parts too 2. Bring your own drink mix - the Gatorade particularly above tree line AS was awful 🤪😂🏃♂️🏃♂️
That handful of ground cover is called granite exfoliation, and an earlier start might avoid the quotidian Rocky mountain afternoon thunderstorm.
Anyway, thanks for that. I’m stuck here in Connecticut where the trail runs are more like swimming through heated, oxygenated moisture and mosquito squadrons. It all works though.
One day, i'll get out there. Even if it's just a hike
I am running the Ascent this year, and I live in Florida so no elevation training for me. I ran the Ascent 20 years ago as well, but I had no training and gutted it out to finish. I am hoping to finish in a faster time this year, and feeling better than I did then.
Hi Seth, QOD idea, Vlog suggestion...what would your ultimate Frankenstein/mash up trail shoe be? Choosing out sole, mid sole, upper, stack, drop, last, etc from any mix of shoes available?
Would love to do the pikes peak but I live in the UK in a county that is predominately flood plains so it is basically sea level most of it. However there isn't any high vertical challenges in the UK apart from Ben nevis and snowdon. Both of which are too far to travel and run in a day, as the closest is 3 hours drive away. But in the future I will be running marathons/half marathons across the world so the more interesting the better. Love the vids keep it going.
I definitely want to race it.
Woot woot
Hey Seth!!! I’m definitely interested in racing Pike Peak next year. I live in Las Vegas and we have Red rock and Mount Charleston but they don’t go as high I think 🤔. What advice would you have for training?
I am thinking about doing the run rabbit run 50 mile next year in 2020 .
Hiked up probably 30 years ago and rode the cog train to the top. That was the second week of June and there was snow piled up 6’ at the end of the cog train on top. Question, will they call the race if lightning rolls in say half way up.
I would get to Barr Camp and be starstruck that I was in Zach Miller's office :)
I am running the Ascent this year and am traveling from sea level (Florida). Running hills and altitude are essentially foreign to me although I have gone up Manitou Incline once and up to the Peak by bus once. Any tips for the two days I’ll be there before the race to help acclimate a little?
Hey Seth, could you make a video on hydration during a run? Not shure if I want to put in all the money for a vest, or try to get my hands on a handheld (not easy to get in Norway).
A 10$ silicone nozzle water bottle with a buff wrapped around it to stick ur hand in makes a great handheld.
A vest is great if u need to carry more than one bottle water and a bunch of crap (food, warm clothes cause ur up in the mountains)
They also make waist belts for like 20-40 bucks.
Soft flasks are my preference for vests. They're worth the dough. I don't like the bladders. To me it makes my pack feel too big back there.
I have raced Pikes Peak 9 times best time was 3:18, my last attempt I got altitude sickness I had to go back down. Run on
WOW WOW WOW!!! That’s awesome Daniel!
I bet you races against my Dad, he usually finished around that time
Is it bad running between 13-17km with a pace on 4.30 minutes pr. km. 3 times a week if i want to burn fat?
Zebulon Pike
Is this harder than a full marathon?
Is your brother Joesph running it with you this year? What is your PR for this race? I imagine it takes a while since it is up hill and steep.
Joseph will be cheering this year. I think I ran 2:20 two years ago 👍🏻
OMG I hope no grizzly bears there. Grizzly bears R the best trail running coaches ever:))))
We don’t have any grizzly bears in Colorado :) we have some pansy little brown bears that are afraid of everything. Rattle snakes and mountain lions are what you have to watch out for in Colorado when hiking.
@@michaelaleach8195 GOOD to know. Thank U for the correction.
