- The Centurion South Downs Way 100 has always been an ultra marathon I’ve wanted to take on. I’d heard nothing but good things about this race - super well organised, a beautiful rolling runnable route and a finish where you have to run a lap of a running track! So when I got the opportunity to run on this EPIC route, I jumped at the chance and it really didn’t disappoint!
Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

The key components of Loyd's race: 20% fitness, 20% willpower, 10% enjoying the views, 50% saying, "cheers mate, thanks man" to all the well -wishers at the checkpoints 😅❤👍🏻🏃♂️
I love this comment, sums my race up perfectly! 😂 The support out on the route was amazing so I had to keep thanking every one 👏
Who's that guy at the beginning? I wouldn't use him again to be honest. He's not up to your standard mate. Great running dude. I'm willing to bet that's not your last 100 miler!
I know mate, you can’t get the staff these days! 😂 Thanks for the cameo and well done on your finish, especially after Cape Wrath 🏃♂️💪
😂 I was so confused at first. I am vision impaired, and I am not a runner because of my heart condition. I love your videos because you are a great storyteller, and you motivate me to get up and keep going. Lol I can't see faces that well, but I know your voice. So when I saw the other guy come on first, I was so confused. See, I know I'm not crazy. My hearing is very good😂 I love your videos. Thank you for taking me on your crazy adventures. I was stressed because of my eyesight, but your videos and other videos like this take me to a whole other world. It makes me want to explore my world with a vision impairment. When you stumble in the dark, it makes me feel a whole lot better about myself😂 So thank you very much for your amazing videos❤
Love that intro with Steve and you taking the GoPro off him. So nice to see you on the course. Loved this and bravo 🙌
You stole the show Mr Coates. 😎🤘
Ben . Loyd and Stephen are international superstars. Just glad I am allowed to talk to them
@@PaulCoatesTrailRunning totally agree mate.....but they're not Paul Coates. 💪💪💪
Cheers Paul, glad you enjoyed the intro!😂 It was great to bump into you out on the route 🙏
I did make the cut! I’m the exceptionally handsome bearded chap at 7:43 (Bib 564). 🧔♂️😄 Thanks for the film and for preserving the memories! 😊
Amazing effort! Love the video’s
I thought this was a Film My Run takeover video! Congrats on the finish and amazing video as always! Cheers!!!
Thanks Chad, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 🙏🙂
Thanks for sharing this! It looked amazing and great soundtrack!
No problem, thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the music 🎵 😁
Well done Loyd, SDW is perfect on a summer day. All 100 miles of it.
Thanks very much! It sure is, what a stunning place to run 😁
What a stunning course. Truly beautiful scenery, and I love that the course was rolling hills rather than one of those where you're required to have the genetic make-up of a mountain goat. Well done Lloyd. Always quality content, and congrats on the run.
It sure is a beautiful rolling route Neil! Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏🙂
Loyd, massive congratulations on completing the 100.
Another superb video too.
Really enjoyed watching this.
Reminded me a lot of when I did the Race to the Stones 100k 3 years ago.
The rolling English countryside is truly stunning, something I do miss now that we have moved to Sydney.
I would highly recommend the RTTS 100k race. An amazing set up, and a beautiful point to point route.
Hope you've recovered well.
Massive well done again.
Thanks Ian, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching. Yeap, I know the RTTS 100k well. All there events are super well organised, maybe I’ll run it one day. Hope Sydney is treating you well 🙂
Well Done Loyd!! Impressive doing the 100 and keeping the spirits up and filming it for us here on CZcams. 💪🏼 🙏
On a very beautiful course in perfect conditions. 👌🏼
Thanks very much 🙏🙂
Another great video and what an effort. I’m full of admiration for everyone who can complete this distance. Well done!👍🍷
Thanks Emlyn, glad you enjoyed the video 🙏😁
Loyd, it was a superb race weekend, wasn’t it? I loved the race! Congratulations on your strong finish and thank you as ever for your video. It’s great to be able to relive aspects of the event. I don’t think it’s possible to have better conditions, so feel very fortunate to have been in the field and across that finish line.
Sorry to miss you during the race - but see you on the hills soon!
It sure was, incredible race on a beautiful route! Well done to you to and I’m sorry I missed you! Thanks for watching 🙏🙂
great job and race buddy, that inro does ring a bell too 😅 and cheers to Steven
Thanks mate! 🙏 Now where has I seen that intro before? 😂
Cracking video. Thank you so much. Filming must make the 100 miles tougher than if you just got on with it. But I am so glad and grateful you did take your camera along. Well done, congratulations and thank you for the lovely video. 👍
Congratulations really enjoyed the watch 26 min in before we had a Loyd EPIC view. I ran the Smugglers at Landsend today only 20K but hard work
congrats! I wore these Shoes on the SDW50 in April. best my feet were after a 50. Also used them on a recent 60km up on the Pennine way and they performed brilliant there too. taking them to the alps in a couple of weeks. 🙂
Awesome video, this is how I got in to Run4Adventure, thanks Loyd and well done for getting it done. I know the route well, so amazing.
Thanks Stuart! 🙏 It sure is a beautiful route, a lovely place to run 🙂
Wow, what a race😮. Well done , Loyd.🎉 Big thanks for the video.
Update: 704 wiews and only 131 like😢. Cmon, guys.
Thanks very much 🙏🙂
Can confirm the Prodigios are superbly supportive and comfortable on the SDW: I haven't done 100miles in one go but lot's more than that in shorter bursts over the past couple of months, mainly in the bit you didn't get to see due to darkness...😁
Ha ha great intro from 2 of the best 😀
Glad you enjoyed it Danny 👍🙂
@@Run4Adventure you got me. I subscribe to you both. Thought I clicked your video and was surprised it was Stephen. 😂
That was a brilliant intro with Stephen haha HUGE congratulations on finishing Loyd, that really is impressive! I will be on the 2025 start line giving my first 100 miler a good old bash, so see you there ;-) Maybe a future video request could be what training you did for the event, or what you would recommend people like me who have never done the SDW100 do as good build up training etc? Well done again buddy 👏
Awesome race video Loyd - George Clooney 🤣🤣 i did wonder how you were going to manage that! Was great to run the last section with you - thanks for the company and thanks for not stitching us up in the editing! See you dreckly.
Cheers Stuart, really glad you enjoyed the video! It was awesome hooking up with you guys for the last 25 miles. It really did ease the suffering and you were great company, hopefully we can do it again sometime 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️😁
Great video as usual Loyd. Also loving the Ventian Blinds song, great choice.
Thanks very much! Really glad you enjoyed the music, that’s one of our favorites 👍🙂
Beautiful video Loyd, awesome event and course. Hope the recovery is going well, sounds like a long way!
It felt like a long way! 😂
Thanks very much, I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏
Looked like a fantastic event, nice one Loyd.
Thanks very much 🙏😁
Great video! Inspired me to look at some new trainers, my Pegasus 4 gortex aren't cut out for these kind of miles I don't think. Did my first 50mile trial ultra yesterday part of the hardmoor series! I'm hooked and looking at new kit, where did you get that run or die t-shirt from I love it !!! Cheers for the inspiration 🤙🏽
Well done mate. I am sure we'll see you on another 100 in the future. Catch up soon.
Cheers mate! Hope you are fit and well 👍🙂
First Like to Run4adventure. Great effort, Loyd. A nice weekend for everyone.
Cheers Manuel 🙏🙂
Fantastic stuff Loyd. Never putting on a show- always telling it like it is. Congrats on another finish.
Thanks Gavin 🙏🙂
Great running Loyd. Your race videos are always the best ones to watch imo.
Thanks Simon, really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏🙂
CROSSOVER!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙏🙂
Great video. Captured it all so well.
Cheers Mike, glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🙂
Brilliant Loyd 👏👏
Thanks 🙏🙂
Another great video. I loved the intro. And another great achievement. Congratulations Loyd!
Cheers Nico 🙏 Really glad you enjoyed the intro and the video 🙂
Love this! Super well done! 💪
Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed the video 👍😁
Cracking video Loyd. Great idea for the intro. Those horses on Butser were cool. Congratulations again
Thanks mate 🙏
Great video Loyd. I had the pleasure of saying hello as you arrived on site on Friday. I think you’ve really summed up brilliantly what the SDW100 is all about. You couldn’t ask for a better organised, supported and marked event. The route is beautiful and challenging but not extreme. The 100 mile distance is pretty mind blowing and really gives you that feeling of pride at the end that shorter distances can’t match. Glad the shoes performed well and you avoided blisters. Look forward to seeing your next event
Thanks Neil, great to meet you the Friday before the race. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏🙂
Love that start!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🙂
Congratulations Loyd.
Looks like a lovely one. 💥
Cheers Mark 🙏
Great video Loyd, it was a real pleasure running with you, those miles really flew by. I hope the ribs are healing, I must have just missed you doing that. Well done also for giving @filmmyrun his five minutes of fame! 50km next year!? Have fun in ‘Loyd of Arabia’ too, that’s going to be another epic adventure.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! It was great spending some miles together, time really did fly by while we were chatting! You’ve got to help the old man out, he loves a camera 😂 Super excited about Ultra X Jordan, if you can’t capture good content there you might as well give up! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel, it’s really appreciated 🙏🙂
Amazing man, so amazing
Cheers John 👍
Brilliant Loyd 👍💪
Thanks very much 👍
Brillllliant, well done to push through the pain and stiffness
Thank you 🙏🙂
Love the podcasts - uk ultra running and centurion. James and Ali and James and Dan both work well together… when’s your pod coming out Lloyd ;-) ?
There ultra running podcast is really good! We will have a podcast one day, unfortunately there’s only so many hours in the day 🙂
Been looking forward to this, tried talking with you at the end but you were very sleepy 😆
Sorry John, I was pretty knackered! It was funny, I had a coffee to try and wake up but I kept falling asleep and spilling it 😂
Thanks for trying to chat and hopefully next time I’ll be more awake! 👍🙂
The South Downs Way is beautiful.
It sure is a beautiful place! 😍
Well done!
Thanks Andrew 🙏
Amazing effort 👊🏻
Thank you 🙏🙂
Well done 🙌
Thank you and thanks for watching 🙏
Well done mate defo a hard days work!!!
Cheers Ian, it sure was 🙂 Well done for the finish mate and thanks for watching 👏
That looks really well supported. Haven’t done it yet, although the KAW took in some of that route.
It was a great event mate! Really well organised, beautiful route and the support was amazing 👍
Epic video weldone!
Thanks you, glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 🙏🙂
film my run should totally have so many more subs, great channel.
Thanks Ozenfant and thanks for all the amazing support you’ve given the channel , it’s really appreciated 🙏🙂
That’s the most I’ve seen you struggle.
It looked tough.
It’s made me want to try it next year 😂
It definitely got pretty challenging towards the end, like it always does when you’re running 100 miles! It’s a brilliant race, you should definitely give it a go 👍🙂
Great running Loyd. Amazing effort. I hope Liga wasn’t throwing out kisses to all of the runners too!😊👍
Thanks Tony 🙏 I don’t think she did! 😂
😂
Thanks for the chat at 22:20, was nice to meet you! :)
Great to meet you and well done on your run! 🏃♂️😁
The highlight for me was the cameo from Paul Coates.....what a legend. 👏😎🤘
He’s a lovely guy, it was good to bump into him out on the route 🙂
What???!!! I'm literally right here Ben! 😂
@@FilmMyRun sorry Stephen you're great but Mr Coates can't be beaten. 🤣👍
The intro though 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #filmmyrun
Glad you liked it Tom 😂😂
Cracking vid as always, but the big question….. What’s the brand/name of the magic “sports wipe” is?? Sounds like a game changer!!
Well done Loyd, first for finishing and also for a great film. Multi-talented! Not broken a rib, I hope! Sanguine is a good word to describe your approach.
Quick Q about the La Sportiva: I have 2E width feet, that then swell on longer runs (terrible blood blisters on left foot from big toe rubbing against second toe after NDW50 in Xodus ultra v2). Is the toe box spacious to accommodate?
Thanks very much 🙏 I think my ribs are just bruised but they still hurt now? I’d say the PRODIGIO has a bit more toe box width compared to the Xodus Ultra 2 but it’s not as wide as an Altra shoe or the new TRAILFLY from Inov8. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 😁
Your friends on the other side of the pond want to get you to a race (or more) in North America. California has some great ones 😁
We will definitely be coming to America at some point Jason, hopefully next year! 👍 Thanks for watching and thanks for all the support 🙏

Is there no magic in a wheat field?
Do you think you will do the review of la Sportiva Prodigio Pro?
I’ve seen and held the shoe and it look awesome but it’s not going to be called the PRODIGIO PRO. As soon as they’re released I should have a pair to review 👍
i will have my first 100 mile 20 September. this video gave me inspiration but also taht we have to be mentally prepared to suffer ;).
normaly i use asics trabuco max 2 for long trails but now im using/adapte to Altras.
Do you think taht Via Olimpus is a good choice for 100 mile? im adapting to Altras because i love the toebox :).
I’m glad you enjoyed the video, you definitely have to be mentally prepared to suffer running 100 miles! If you’re not prepared for the last 30 miles you might struggle to get through them. I’m not sure it’s the best time to transition to a zero drop shoes as you go into your first 100 miler? It might be better sticking with what you know? The Via Olympus is a road shoe, is your 100 miler on the road?
@@Run4Adventure via olympus 2 is the one im been using to adapte do 0 drop... for 100 mile thinking the olympus 5 ou the new one 6 . waiting for your altra olympus 6 review ;).
@@Run4Adventure is a mix between trail and road.
@@joseandreferreira4729 Oh Ok 👍 Have you run in the VIA Olympus before? I’ve got to be honest, I really wasn’t a fan of them when I tested them out. They felt so stiff at the midfoot and I ended up having a lot of foot pain! 😕
@@Run4Adventure never use the first version.... Only the via 2. I have some problems in my toes with asics trabuco and with nimbus 25. Tô narrow i think. Thats why i been trying Altra
Who won the race?
Dan Lawson won the SDW100 in an incredible time of 14hrs 27mins! 🤯
Hey Loyd, I’m doing the Serpent trail 50km on July 6th and I’m concerned I haven’t got enough long runs in. Would you advise me getting a 25km run in tomorrow which would still give me 11 days or so rest before the event? Or should I just rest from now and do shorter runs over the next few days and then rest? Cheers
11 days is still long enough to recover and gain some strength from the run. If you think it would make you feel more confident about taking on the 50k go for it! Hope this helps and see you on the start line 👍🙂
@@Run4Adventure thanks for reply Lyod! Yeah… I think I’ll try and get a long one in tomorrow and try to build a bit more endurance! I fear too little too late but will give it my best! Great, see you there!
That's wheat, not corn!
I knew someone would say that, I was waiting for it! You’re right it’s definitely wheat but did you enjoy the video? 🙂
Traditionally, Wheat, Barley etc is corn and what your thinking of is Maize. But we all bow to the Americans now :) Enjoyed the video very much fwiw :D
@@niafer9444 Thanks for the comment, I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🙂
Despite my pedantry pertaining to crops, I did in fact enjoy the video thoroughly! Interesting to hear they are doing a 50k next year as I'm looking to do my first. It's on the list!
