Sick AGAIN | The HOTTEST South Downs Way 100 EVER
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 07. 2024
- South Downs Way 100 was Victoria's second 100 miler and number two in the quest for the Centurion Grand Slam. ‘Sick Again’ is the story of our race. It was undoubtedly the hottest Centurion race I have ever done and both of us had to contend with continual sickness from around the 50 mile point onwards. The DNF rate was one of the highest ever for a Centurion 100 miler. Did we make it? Let's find out.

The damp weather now makes me forget that June was actually quite hot. Bravo!
I know July and August have been pretty terrible.
This SWD100 was my first 100 miler finish (I had DNF in the muddy TP100 5 weeks before). At Houghton Farm I was ready to retire. I also was sunbaked by the sun and had thrown up 4 times already. I also was already quite worried about the cut-off times.
However, 2 factors gave me enormous strength and were essential and pivotal to have continued and reached the finish line. First, it was a chat with one of the volunteers, mainly motivating me to at least try to reach Washington, that I still had time to have a rest and still get there. Second it was when I saw you and Victoria arriving at Houghton Farm. At that moment I felt, ok, it’s still not too late to continue. I was pretty sure both of you would finish it, so it gave me a huge hope and strength to carry on. Thank you very much 😊
Surprisingly, soon after leaving Houghton Farm, I started to feel much better, physically and mentally. Had a great run from there to the end, I loved the night section, all the CPs and the interactions with the staff and volunteers. What a great journey it was.
By the way, it’s me at minute 15:00 running next to you on that big hill after Houghton Farm.
Congratulations, huge thanks for the great video. It's very important to show all the sides of ultra running, not only the finish line celebrations.
Good luck for tomorrow 👍
Congratulations on your first buckle! Glad we were able to help motivate you to carry on. It was tough in the heat.
Amazing! Huge effort from you both in really tough exposed conditions. When I did the SDW100 in 2021 we had very similar conditions and getting sick was on the agenda for me and lot of others. I've just completed the Lakeland 100 and again was sick through the first night and into the morning. What saved my race this time was crystallised stem ginger cubes. They really helped settle my stomach.
I ran in 2021 as well. It was very hot that year too. Absolutely fantastic effort finishing Lakeland. What a tough 100 miler that is. Vic has used those ginger cubes I think
Great effort. Steely determination from Victoria as always.
Thanks Anthony. Yes she’s definitely a tougher cookie than me
Incredible perseverance and tenacity. Huge Congratulations. I ran the Sussex Weald 50K that day and it was brutal and it was less than a 3rd of what you achieved. Great respect!
Thanks Steve. Yes it didn't even cool down that much overnight. Just survival mode for most of the run really!
Congratulations. I saw you at the start, but DNF'd at washington. The heat was absolutely brutal. Well done to both of you.
We definitely considered packing it in at Washington but managed to get out the door. Well done for getting that far.
Well done to both of you in reaching the end and gaining that buckle. A great vid showing the ups and downs of distance running. Amazing
Thank you Gary. let's see if we can get another one this weekend at the North Downs Way 100!!
@@FilmMyRun Best of luck, the weather isn't looking great. One extreme to another me thinks
Really well documented! You captured the highs and the lows of an ultra. Well done on getting to the end.
Thanks Alec. Yes always highs and lows. Just have to push through those lows!
Superb filming and many congratulations Victoria and Stephen . See you Saturday 👍👊
Thanks Michael. Yes see you on Saturday!
That was something. See you two later this month
Bloody Amazing - massive congratulations guys - I’m not sure what date u done this but I done my 2nd Olympic Distance Triathlon on 25th June and it was 28 degrees and it was absolutely savage - I walked most of the 10k at the end but I got it done - I was 10th from last but I didn’t care I finished - massive congratulations again guys amazing effort 🎉💪 xx
Thank you Clair. SDW was earlier in the month but sounds like you had similar conditions to us. It just drains all your energy doesn’t it?! Well done on completing though.
Well done to you both!!!! For finishing in such a hot weather on open course.
Thank Max. Appreciated.
Well done! Got it finished. I do like a gritty story of the tribulations of a 100-miler. Good luck in the rest of the slam 👊
Thank you Ryan. Are you a 100 runner? Or is it in your future plans?
Unbelievable is an understatement, looked absolutely brutal in them hot conditions, will power and sheer determination got you through, as a husband and wife team your unstoppable, congratulations to you both.
Also, we'll done to everyone that entered whether you finished or not.
Great watch, top filming.
Thanks Mark. We do seem to be able to help each other along quite well in these races.
Congratulations to both for completing the race. Keeping your feet going when you’re sick to the stomach is brutal - and for so many miles.😢👏👏. As always a wonderful video with great commenting from both of you👍
Thank you John. Yea we were both pretty sick for a lot of that run!
Congratulations on literally gutting it out. Only runners would give praise to those who vomit and continue to push ahead. A determined effort by both of you, well done!
Haha yes, I remember my middle son the first time he saw me throwing up in a race and he thought something was terribly wrong. My wife had to tell him, no, he’ll actually feel much better now he’s been sick!
Oh my got, Victoria, what are you doing? 🤮 Well done both of you again! What a mental strength!
This is entirely her own fault! She's so determined and stubborn I can't tell her to stop!!
Brutal. Congrats on finishing through that heat!
Thanks Peter
If it was easy it wouldn't be an achievement! Well done!
Well exactly Daren. Who wants an easy race?!! haha
Jeez that was as brutal as the views were epic. Well done to both of you
It's my favourite of the Centurion races Nick. Such a lovely route
Great to see you both there and cracking effort to slog it out through the sickness. You really deserve a better deal on the weather for the next installment in the slam 😅 Keeping my fingers crossed for some nice conditions for you this weekend!
Cheers Ben. We are going to do our damdest to get to the end of NDW100 at the weekend. Will have to meet up and spend a bit more time together at some point.
@@FilmMyRun Best of luck out there and hope you can enjoy as much of it as possible! That would be great, drop me a line if you're about sometime soon and up for a coffee/run.
A wonderful watch ran my first ever half marathon yesterday 65 y I think you have inspired my to take on a trail marathon
It’s never too late to start trail running. You can take things a lot easier and enjoy the scenery, provided it’s not too hot!!
Well done to you guys, hope to see you back up at horsham parkrun sometime soon 😊
Yes we'll make it up there again at some point, thanks Mark!
Congratulations, Victoria and Stephen 🥇🥇
160 km in the sweltering heat is something you can only do with faith and big dreams. You have done it. So great !!
Your occasional smiles made me feel relieved. And thank you so much for this wonderful and inspiring video.
The music inserts are great as always. Thanks again Victoria and Stephen 🙏
Thank you Yoko. Now we have another to do this weekend! North Downs Way, which is a bit more hilly but it will be raining, so not hot!
@@FilmMyRun One more😲, only respect for you. “ Raining.” .be careful. The big day, UTMB is waiting you. Anyway be careful.💪
I loved this video, thank you for taking us with you! Massive well done both of you! Really enjoying the two of you working together in these videos too!!
Thanks Elena. Still need you on the Arc team!!
@@FilmMyRun It would be an honour ☺
wow! I knew you'd had brutal weather as I watched Ben (TimeonFeet) and James Day videos and they were both struggling in the heat but for you and Victoria to have such stomach issues too, so harsh! Honestly, the idea of completing 100 miles is beyond baffling to me and to have to grind it out like that takes pure grit and determination. Huge luck for this weekends NDW100, I really hope the weather and underfoot conditions are kinder to you both, god knows Victoria could do with a "nice" 100 miler to reflect on. Go get em! x
Yes both Ben and James videos captured essentially the same crushing heat throughout the day. We all experienced how it saps your energy completely. We were lucky to have the ice bandanas. They aren’t often needed but when they are they are a life saver.
@@FilmMyRungod bless an ice bandana!!
Congratulations to both of you. What an epic journey. Thank you for sharing the story with us 👍
Cheers Matthew. It was certainly the longest and hottest SDW100 Ive ever done.
Fabulous 🥰
Thanks Tina 🤗
Really incredible! So strong for both of you to push on to finish! Amazing
Hey Lauri thank you. Does it ever get that hot in Washington state?!
@@FilmMyRun rarely, thank goodness!! Three years ago it was nearly 100 degrees F (not sure what that is C?) for a bike race on the Olympic peninsula. Ugh. Here in Grays Harbor area it’s pretty mild most of the time and it’s “hot” if it’s in the 80’s. I don’t do well in the heat and really struggle.
Great video and it's good to see about the hills at the end. :-) It was some achievement to get to finish despite being sick and so tired. Love the honesty in the video from both of you. They are not easy but worthwhile. I remember you were there when I finished last and with 3 minutes to spare on the NDW 100 in 2022. This time I am signed up to be back at the SDW 100 myself in June. Hopefully I will not be last to finish but if I am so be it, as long as I get that buckle. :-)
Oh I do hope you get there. You’ll love it so much. Especially as it is the first time since it because part of the World Trail Majors
good effort
Thank you so much Stephen😀
Was looking forwards to watching this. Sterling effort - especially talking to camera all the way. The piece on the descent into Washington looked awesome. Well done both of you!
Thanks Anthony. To be honest the whole route is superb
Wow! You are both so inspirational 🤩
Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated. Apologies for the delayed reply. I’m trying to catch up on messages! 😊
Amazing tenacity from both of you. We did this race in 2021 Stephen and it was bloody hot then, so if this year was worse, then that must have been extremely tough. I'm currently dot watching you both at NDW100. 👍
Hey Ian. Yes I remember it was really hot in 2021 but I honestly think it was hotter this year.
That looked absolutely brutal.
It was rather hot! Haha
@@FilmMyRunwell done. That was inspirational stuff.
Brilliantly produced film.
Congratulations to you both, really enjoyed this thanks for sharing your adventure!😊
Thank you so much. Really appreciate your comments.
@@FilmMyRun my pleasure Stephen
Congrats to you both; I love the footage of the UK, and it always makes me a little homesick. One of these days, I'll head back to the UK and race. When I do, you'll be the first person I hit up and ask for recommendations. You story tell and make these experiences so relatable.
Thank you so much Ben. Really appreciated. Make sure you do get back over here to race sometime. Where are you currently?
@@FilmMyRun living in Mexico 👍
Such a great video Stephen and good to get Victoria's take on it too! I don't know how anyone got through that in the heat. I was running Endure24 that weekend and I struggled even with rests between the laps. Your pacing strategy worked out well - trying not to get caught up in the rush at the start is absolutely key. I hope I can mirror this at the NDW100! See you there ✌
PS Good to see Ben at 01:09 - pretty sure that's James Day behind Ben too 😆
Cheers Mike. See you in a couple of days!!
Thank you. Nice meeting you!
Great video Stephen as always and brilliant addition to hear Victorias take on the various situations & challenges you faced. Experience counts for so much and your strategy paid dividends versus those that stuck to timing plans ignorant of the conditions and ended up dropping out. Just typing this having witnessed storm Antoni, you really are challenging yourselves through some of the toughest weather conditons during this years slam! British summertime at its crazy best!!
Hi Jon and thanks! We have certainly had three very interesting 100 milers!!
Great film Stephen and congrats to you both on finishing it, it looked brutal! Am down that way doing the 100k UltraChallenge event on 2 Sept when I think you’ll be staggering around Mont Blanc😂
Aaah you’ll enjoy that! Thank for watching Peter
You two are just amazing! Congrats!
Thank you so much!!
Utter machines. Well done.
Cheers Michael!
Well done both of you, it was a tough day out in that heat, some of the aid stations looked like field hospitals! I hiked 90% of it, too hot to run after QECP and then my feet really suffered in the 2nd half. Still, like you, got it done, kept the slam alive. Good luck tomorrow, looks like being a very different day weather wise! ⚡️🌧⛈️☁️
Oh it’s going to be very different tomorrow. I just hope we have the speed again to stay inside those cut offs. Well done for getting it done #KeepTheSlamAlive
Well done for grinding it out!
Well done, great effort to both of you
Thank you Alan. Appreciated
Well done the pair of you. That looked very tough and it was a race I was looking at for next year. The alternative was the North Downs Way so I await to see how you get on there. Good luck!
If the weather is good then SDW100 is the best. It’s just a glorious day out. This year was just particularly hot.
Great video both huge congratulations 👏
Thanks so much!!
It looks like there is even less shadow than on the SVP100 (which does not have much, and was a scorcher last year). I seem to recognised some bits of the Beachy Head marathon towards the end, albeit travelled in reverse? Well done for finishing. Nice commentary from Victoria.
Yes there are huge sections with with no cover at all. It was really hot all day! Yes there are bits of the Beachy Head Marathon in there in reverse. Victoria was a bit worried about her commentary so thank you.
Great run well done, you both made it in horrible conditions, congratulations!
Thanks Ben. I do love the sunshine, but that was probably a little too much!
Congrats to you both. Certainly a tough one and nicely filmed.
Thank you so much as always. One of our best channel supporters over the years!
Another brilliant video and a superb and courageous effort from you both! As always great to see your running journey in its rawest form! Wonderful watch!
Thanks Chris. I don’t think we know how to be anything else which is why it feels quite raw sometimes. I try to put some nice music on there to cheer it up a bit, haha!!
@FilmMyRun I think you found the perfect balance! Look forward to the NDW 100 video when it comes, best of luck to both of you for this weekend!
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you!!
Amazing achievement.
Thank you. We're not done yet though!!
Why is my finger hovering over the "sign up" button for next year's SDW100? How come the worse it seems (and your film makes it seem REALLY tough), the more tempting it is to give it a go? The pair of you are awesome, by the way. Huge respect to you both and I LOVED the way you shared the commentary!
Haha, go on you know you want to! Thanks so much for your kind comments Chris
If you’re considering it then do it!
I signed up! Feeling very daunted by the training programme I've pencilled in for the next 35 weeks. Might ask you and Stephen for some advice on that if you're in a generous mood! @@victoriac2134
Excellent video, great achievement well done both. I really liked Victoria's narration within the video, it worked really well with you both telling the story.
Thank you! Victoria was a bit worried about her narration but I think it sounds fine. Much appreciated.
Another courageous and candid account from both of you! It was such a tough day, and it was great to see you both support each other to the finish. See you at Farnham-where the test will not be heat, but rain. ;)
Thank you so much! Looking forward to the rain…..until I’m sick of it around 60 miles in I imagine!!
you guys are crazy! colossal effort, great film!
Thanks for this. Much appreciated!
awesome! Horrific in that heat. I paced a friend for last 50k, we finished about 40mins or so before you I think. amazing!!!
Yes Jon, it was hard work. Glorious weather in any other situation, but trying to run 100 miles is hard enough without being burned alive in the process!! Well done for finishing! See you at the next one!
Well Done Stephen and Victoria, you are complete centurions! Thanks for showing the honest, brutal reality of when a race goes to s**t and you finish only through grit and determination. UTMB should be a breeze😂😂😂
Haha, oh yea, I reckon UTMB will be dead easy after that!! Thank you as always Sandra. Appreciate you support very much.
Great work both of you! Good on you for filming the grit and shit you both endured too, well done mate!
Thanks Matt. It was just a crazy race and crazy conditions. It's important to film the shite bits too!
Just amazing and so inspiring - hope to see you at the start line for next year's event ;)
Hi Daniel. I am after one of those 500 buckles so I think I will sign up for next year yes. You running?
@@FilmMyRun Great stuff! I will be there (Running the 'Sussex Stride Ultra' as a qualifier in September) but hoping it isn't as hot as you guys had it! I ran the post race sweep over Kithurst Hill at 6am the morning after the race and it was already cooking!
Goodness me! You two are so strong. The whole being sick thing puts me off doing ultras. But I’ll run ultras vicariously through you for now. 😂 Great effort both of you 💪💪
For me particularly I’m only usually sick when it’s hot, which is why I run better in the winter.
@@FilmMyRun but you both kept on going!! I think you used the words grit and determination, very apt! Honestly, inspirational stuff.
Awesome 😎 incredibly well done 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you. Appreciated.
That was great! Enjoyed it far more than either of you. Huge congratulations on finishing. See you in Chamonix!
Haha!! Thanks os much Tim. Yes, see you in Cham. Come and say hi if you see us. What race are you doing?
@@FilmMyRun Just did the ETC one last year, this year just doing social runs and spectating. Good luck tho xx
That sounds like a tough race, has Victoria changed her mind on the next 100! 🤣
Haha, it was tough simply because of the heat. We will be lining up at the start of the North Downs Way 100 this weekend
A massive well done to both of you 🙌 you both kept going in the extreme heat 🥵 Victoria is definitely made of some tough stuff! Her sheer determination got her through that and it was inspiring to see! The next one won’t be so bad 😉 great video as always!
Thanks so much karen! 😊 She may not be quite as fast on her feet as me but she is much more head strong than I am.
kind of disappointed your not in cornwall filming all the plague runners getting soaked all night but im sure your going to have plenty of rain yourself tomorrow good luck with the next weather challenge ultra
Yes it was a tough call to miss the RAT weekend but we'll be back there next year for sure.
What’s a lovely way to fiend the evening watching this. It looked so tough! I was meant to be doing my first ever ultra in September - Thames 100k - but injury post Leeds marathon means I’ve deferred to next year. I do think ultras MIGHT be my thing tho and am considering London to Brighton 100k next May. I love watching videos of ultras and yours are some of the best.
Thank you!
Thank you Conrad. Just be careful because it’s a slippery slope! Once to start it takes over!!
@@FilmMyRun yes, especially for someone like me who has somewhat of an obsessive personality … I fear I might get hit by the Ultra bug 😂
I'm doing a my first baby ultra on the 3rd December (50km) then I'm doing the SDW50 in 2024 and my goal is to be on the start line for the SDW100 in 2025 😵💫 This video is brilliant, its refreshing to see the brutal honesty of long distance events! Well done to the both of you 👏
Oh that is awesome Paul Good luck with your first ultra. You will love it and it is a slippery slope I'm afraid. See you on the start line of the SDW100 in a couple of years then!
@@FilmMyRun Aaah thanks mate lots of hard work between now and then. I certainly need to get my nutrition sorted because I become a nightmare once I start running, just can't seem to get enough in me, so any advice on stuff like that would be greatly appreciated 👍🏻
Good luck for your 50k and ultra running journey. Most of all, enjoy it! Last year, SDW50 was my first 50 miler.
Yikes Stephen...100 miles. That is way too far to run...at least for me. However, I like watching you and Vitoria doing it. Nice job to the both of you.
Haha thank you Steve. It only seems far before you've done one. Whilst you're doing it, it seems never-ending. Afterwards it feels ridiculously far. Don't do it. It's just not healthy!!
I was the marshal in Alfriston, you looked wrecked at that point, well done on finishing it and thanks for making me realise the 100's not for me I've entered the 50 next year.😂
Oh I am so sorry for spilling my tea everywhere and then throwing up all over the mens toilets. I was a total disaster when I arrived there!! The thing about ultras and 100s is that sometimes things go against you and sometimes things go for you. Mostly if you plan well, things go in your favour. But sometimes there are things over which you only have limited control, like the weather. Don't dismiss the distance based on what you saw of me on that day!!
@@FilmMyRun I was the marshal at the junction of Star Lane so I never saw your shenanigans, but they may of been mentioned when returned to the chapel, I'm very happy with my choice of the 50. good luck at NDW100.
If it’s any help, last year, SDW50 was my first 50. At that point I knew I never wanted to attempt 100! 😊
Congratulations!!!!!
Thank you. Appreciated
I watched this video while doing a kettle bell workout! You guys are not doing much to convince me to sign up for a 100 miler you know!! Looked grim.
Come on you know you want to do one!! haha. They aren't all horrible.....Actually that's a lie, they are all awful.
@@FilmMyRun 🤣
Amazing efforts Stephen and Victoria. Love doing the WSFRL races but never done much trail racing. Any trail marathons/50ks around Sussex that you’d recommend
Oh I would definitely recommend the Three Forts Challenge (27 miles), the Beachy Head Marathon, DarkStar (winter, flat 28 miles) and Downslink (summer, flat 36 miles)
@@FilmMyRun I ran three forts solo last summer as a challenge so could definitely do a smaller ultra. Maybe something to consider next year!
Victoria - blink twice if you need us to call the authorities 🤣🤣
Hahahaha. I'll have you know this is entirely her own fault!
🤣
Another inspirational video. Great effort both! I’m wondering…..I’m pretty old now….is it actually possible to complete these distances within the cut off times at a “fast” walk instead of running? I’d love to try one 👍🍷
I think it is Emlyn. I seem to recall someone doing that. If you can walk 3.5 miles an hour you could do it.
