Training for a Hot Ultra in the SNOW | Winter in Wales
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 12. 2020
- At the end of 2019 we decided to make a base again in Wales after many years travelling and living abroad. I was excited to focus on some long mountain days in the Brecon Beacons and get out in whatever conditions winter threw at me as I prepared for my first Ultra of the 2020 season, the 128km Transgrancanaria. Winter in the Brecon Beacons couldn't have been any different to hot and rocky trails I'd expect in Gran Canaria but I was interested to see how fitness would build for a strong race day.

I’ve been waiting!!!!! Finally 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for the patience bro 🙏
Great to see a video again from you, and the wonderful scenery and changes that have been happening for you. ❤️
Thanks Marc. Hope you’re getting in some great adventures too!
Loved that! Great video Harry, glad to see you back sharing your training on here.
Thanks Seren, glad you enjoyed it. Hope your training is flowing well!
You are training in tough conditions on purpose - true ultra runner :D
What I do for winter hmm. I like to run at night time in the winter do avoid having to deal with the sun. Especially around February now the sun is so hot it is baking but you go into the shade and get a gust of wind and suddenly you are freezing... so it can be really tough running in conditions which feel literally 16 degrees celsius apart. That is too much clothes difference - if the trail is not totally open to the sun I op for a night time run. Also try to run when the wind is less. Windy.com is a good site etc...
Less traffic for road running at night too :)
those are some amaaazing sceneries!
Hoping to do the Fandance over Pen-Y-Fan at some point when the world goes back to normal, great video buddy 👍💪🏃
Great to have a new video from you, Harry. All the best from Granada!
Thanks James! Hope Granada is thriving at the moment. Can’t wait to come back and visit, will make sure we get a run in next time! Enjoy those mountains and trails amigo!
Ahhh....won't be heading to the in-laws this Christmas due to the current circumstances. Going to miss running there this year! Will live vicariously through this vid!
Sorry to hear that Simba. Yeah it’s tough having mountain time restricted at the moment. They will be there for your next visit. Glad the video can help.
Yeah Harry, killing it! I'm looking to start trail running very soon, always wanted to run up and down the typical Pen-Y-Fan route from the car park. Excited to get off the roads and up mountains and into wilder areas :D I also hope my body will appreciate the trails more than the roads
They do a 24km endurance tab over Pen-Y-Fan called the SAS Fandance, run by ex squaddies if you're interested 👍
Looks like a different kind of playground with the snow on it. Great to bump into you out there, all the best to you and the fam x
Yes mate. You’d love it. All good. Charging the batteries for many adventures ahead. See you on the mountains in 2021! 💪
Superb to see another Harry Runs video. What a glorious location!
It’s a great spot! Be sure to head into Wales when you can Dan and get in some miles on the mountains!
@@HarryRunsUK As soon as I can, I will. 2021 is going to be a blast!
Epic man
Wales is the place too!
Use to run for sarn helan, great team
Great vid, hope you had a great Christmas
Cool to get an update, looking well Harry. I'm going to try and get down to the Beacons in January, want to get some tough winter runs in while I'm back 🙂
Excellent. Hope you can get across the border 😆
Looks great. Getting the right gear for the winter is a must and having it with you and not at home!!!! Also great time to train in the dark and test out your gear like headlamps and troubleshooting all those things that can go wrong. Better to do it in training and not on race day.
Great points Owen. Well done with your running this month!
Miss your channel Harry!!
More on the way Richard.
Awesome video Harry! I’ve gotten my first Speed Goats 4 recently because of you and they’ve been amazing. They are a lifesaver for a winter training because of the vibram footplate and the goretex layer definitely helps out with mud and wet grass.
That’s great to hear you’re enjoying the Speedgoats! Important to keep the feet happy, especially in these wetter chillier months!
Thoroughly enjoyed that. You've boosted my motivation for 2021!
thanks for the update and great video from Wales!
Thanks A.G!
A great vid and update Harry! Would have been running in the Preseli's over Christmas but due to the circumstances will be staying up here in the north on the Llyn Peninsula, can't complain. All the best to you and your family for Christmas!
Llyn Peninsula is a stunning location all the same! Closer to the bigger mountains too 😃
@@HarryRunsUK Indeed, you got any Welsh races planned next year?
Nice to have a new video
Thanks Darren. Hope you’ve enjoyed it!
Nice video and beautiful views
Love it! You headed back to TGC in Feb??? Can't wait to get up to Wales for Snowdonia next year. Stay healthy!
Thanks Michael! Same looking forward to plenty of time in Snowdonia. No TGC for me this year, kind of difficult for us to get the mountain time I’d want in the lead up with all these lockdowns. Fingers crossed 🤞 I’ll get back there in 2022 to climb a few places higher 😁
@@HarryRunsUK stay healthy and make memories with the family :) the trails will always be there.
Great vid Harry 😀, just wondering are you wearing the aeropax aftershocks? If so do you recommend buying them 😀
Hey Stephen. Yes I’m wearing the Aeropex. I like them, great for day to day runs and hearing the world around you at the same time, I use mine most days. Windy days in the mountains you do struggle a bit as they aren’t in your lobes.
@@HarryRunsUK oh ok good to know, just ordered them 😀, thanks Harry
He's back. It's been a while.
That’s right I’m back 😆
@@HarryRunsUK Well. You DID just have a baby. Makes sense. Been following you on Strava though :)
oh how i've missed the misty mountains :(
Hey Harry, if you see this, I was wondering for a mountainous race like TGC or UTMB, do you prefer to do all your runs with hills/elevation gain, or do you plan in flat running as well in the week?
For a race like UTMB I like to get in a large amount of vertical in the lead up, but certainly some more rolling/flatter runs will help to keep the legs moving well. Same for TGC. To do your best having good running economy and leg turnover matters. So aiming to put some flatter intervals into your training can really help. Everyone’s a bit different though, important to work your weaknesses in training and find balance in training. Are you signed up for either races?
@@HarryRunsUK Thanks for the reply. Yes that makes sense, and finding that balance/understanding my weaknesses will take a few more years for me I think.
No not signed up for either... I would love to do TGC in a few years time, and then UTMB a while after.
I am looking at Cappadocia next October as my first 100km+ race, as have currently only raced in the 50km - 50 mile range, and reluctant to book anything too soon in 2021
I live in the north and I started running. what kind of of running shoe do you recommend for very cold weather and snow ice. I'm thinking of a trail running shoe?
What shoes are you using for the snowy conditions?
What was the coldest temperature on this particular run?
Not sure probably around -5C -10C maybe a little cooler with the wind chill on the windier days. Cold enough for me but far colder mountains out there 🥶
