Thanks for watching Conrad, glad you enjoyed it 👍

Thanks Mihai! Always like getting prepared and ready for an ultra with a kit and Clothing Breakdown 😉

It's very much down to personal preference. I saw several people wearing road shoes in the winter edition I did but I went for trail for a bit more protection from the stones and also to help with the bits of mud there were. Can't imagine there'll be much mud if any in the summer edition though

Glad you found the video useful and all the best for the Snowdon marathon next month! The top of the Pyg track had some pretty technical bits and was quite busy, Llanberis path less technical on the way down though there is a bit near the top that has scree which can be tricky if it's wet. Good to take a lot of water with you out there as it can be pretty hot and exposed. Enjoy it out there!

Thanks Mike, definitely one of my favourite places to run so far, I'm sure you'll love it out there in October! Tough terrain but a special place to explore. Thanks for watching 🙏

Thanks for watching 🙏

Thanks Paula 😃

It's a good way to have a bit of a running challenge. Good luck with 35 for 35 👍

Thanks James 👍

The best! Perfect soundtrack to any ultra 😃

Hi Robin, great to share some miles with you and well done on a cracking race 👍 Really made a difference sharing the challenge with others, great to meet you out there

Thanks mate 🙏

Thanks Mihai, it was great to try out some mountain racing and it's something I'd like to do a bit more of in the future for sure! The camaraderie can make sure a difference when it gets tough out there. Thanks for watching 🙏

Thanks Nic! Yes it really helps especially in those trickier moments if you find others to connect with. It was an adventure and all but yes planning on doing something less technical next 😃

Thanks Ben 😃

Thanks Ben 😃 It's a great place to run though although to be fair not a lot of running was done, more hiking and trying not to trip over rocks! I haven't been put off mountain races but I would like to do some that are less technical so I could enjoy the views more. Well done again on your 100, amazing. Had hoped to see you along the way but needed to come up to Scotland for family. Glad you got to enjoy the South Downs 🤓

Thanks for watching 👍 Scenery was amazing out there, definitely want to do back at some point

Thanks Taline! Glad to make it round this one, will definitely get more practice on technical terrain for the next mountain race 🤓

Thanks both. Yes I would love to do the Bob Graham round at some point. I've never run in the Lake District before but it's on the list and the beauty of the BGR is that you do it with others who've completed it before as pacers so you can do it without knowing the route too well or recceing it a lot. It's on the bucket list!

Thanks 😃

Thanks 👍

Thanks Gareth 👍 Underfoot was tricky for sure, I got used to them over the course of the race but I definitely know for next time I'd want to get more practice on technical terrain before so it's less of a shock!

Thanks, glad you found it useful 🙏

Thanks Stephen. That would be great to meet up at some point and run some trails. I'm actually up in Scotland at the moment but looking after my Mum has she's been in hospital. When I'm next up and she's fully better then let's meet up!

@timeonfeet ah sorry to hear this mate! Hope she gets better soon. Yeah let's do it mate. The drumgoyne route would be a great one to do. Taking in Earls seat and little Earl then down into Strathblane. It's just up by the drumgoyne distillery. 12 miles in total and plenty of ascent/decent with scrambling too.

@@runningwithstephen Thanks mate, that sounds a great route to do. Will drop you a message when I'm next up and we can get a run/hike/scramble in 😃

Thanks Graham and congrats to you too 🎉

Thanks Paul 😃

Congrats on your race and going back to finish some unfinished business! You've got a really good sense of the terrain for the 100k then with the races you've done, very good prep indeed 👍 Hope you get out there and take on the 100 at some point!

Thanks Ian! Pleased to get this one done and yes this will be one I certainly look back on 😃

Thanks so much. Definitely lucky with the weather, although it was hot you'd take that over storms and bad visibility any time! I can put some things about fuelling in future videos for sure 👍

Thanks so much Benny, good to hear there are mountains out there that are a bit less technical! This felt like quite the baptism of fire 😅

Thanks Chloe! You're spot on, I remember feeling quite mentally drained about 5 hours in after having to focus so hard on every rock especially on the downhills to avoid falling over 😅 Pretty amazing experience out there, tough but such epic scenery. Thanks for watching 🙏

Thanks Tim. It's definitely a lot of hiking, did more of this than running for sure! Odd feeling when even the downhills in many cases are unrunnable. Pleased to be back to the South Downs 😅

Thanks Paul, yes there's definitely a few rocks out there 😅

Well done on your elevation PB Bev, great stuff! It's always rewarding when you do your longest distance, time, elevation. Hope the recovery is going well. I'm certainly not rushing to sign up again to UTS as it does take a lot out of you though it was an amazing experience. I'd definitely do another mountain race though, got some good hiking practice now!

@@timeonfeet THANKS!! Yeah more runnable mountains perhaps!! I just got myself my first pair of poles so will head to the Alpes this summer to get in some good practice!! ⛰️🏃🏻‍♀️⛰️ My ultimate dream is to do the Lavaredo 50 in the Dolomites!!!

@@bev9708 oh nice, what poles did you get? The Alps sounds great, I've never run there myself before but would love to go at some point. That sounds like a great race

@@timeonfeet Leki Micro Trail Vario, Carbon !😁🥰

@@timeonfeet I lived in the Dolomites for one year, though before I started running! Last year I watched Marius Prigge’s video Cortina Trail 2023: Conquering the Dolomites, and every fiber of my body said “I wanna do that!!” I’m sure you know the feeling!!😂

You too Geoffrey and congrats on your race 🎉 I'm doing a relay along the South Downs Way way next weekend but after that I'm not really sure, need to get some race plans together! What about you?

@@timeonfeetthat would be great! I actually signed up to the Chiltern Wonderland 50 today. Check it out!

That would be great! How was the South Downs Way? I have signed up to the Chiltern Wonderland 50 later this year. Check it out!

@@geoffreyhowellIRL I've heard the Chiltern Wonderland is a great one so good to have that booked in. It went well thanks, very different trying to run fast over the Downs, amazing day out

Thanks Aaron 🤓 Congrats on your race. Tough going out in them mountains!

Thanks Ben, hope all's good with you

Thanks, you too! It may look overkill the desert hat but it does do the job 😅 Hope your recovery has gone well

Yeh I was the same cooking in my black cap 🤣 #rookieerror

Thanks Dan 🙏

Thanks Carl. Great to hear you going back to finish some unfinished business with the 50k. I'm still not sure if I'd do it again. Maybe it hasn't been long enough yet for me to consider it 😅

Cheers Rob! Great to run with you and be able to share the woes of yet another climb 😅 Hope to see you at the SDW100 maybe for pacing duties

Thanks James, certainly was! It was stunning but not sure I want to go back and do it again 😅 Yes at some point I think I'll go in for the UTMB lottery, just a bit tricky as it tends to clash with work but hoping to do it sometime

Thanks Mark! Definitely the most beat up my legs have been after a race but they're fully recovered now which is good 😃 Such an amazing place to run/walk/climb

I've got both of these shoes in wide fit and they're good for wide feet. The regular versions are pretty narrow

@@timeonfeet Hey thanks for the prompt reply, I didnt know ther are 2 versions for wide and regular feet. Is there a way to tell or from the model ref that what I' ordering online is for wide feet can you share your input.

@@miaobinhuang2315 if you search the model and then wide fit then it will state whether or not the version you're looking at is wide. Like 'Hoka Atr challenger Wide' would bring up the wide version online

@@timeonfeet Thank you do take good care of health.

@@miaobinhuang2315 thank you, you too

Thanks Michael! I just joined the LDWA this year so I'm hoping to do my first event soon - probably the Surrey Tops Challenge event in September. Love the ethos behind it. I've got a couple of friends doing the 100 in Speyside as we speak. Hoping to do one in the future!

Yes The Surrey Tops is a good one to do as it’s only held every 4th year I think and it’s a qualifier for a 100. I should try and do it. I have done lots of Winter Tanners, Punchbowl marathons, Sevenoaks circulars, High Weald challenges all highly recommended 👍

@@michaelbennett6778 didn't realise it was only every 4 years for the Surrey Tops, I need to make sure I sign up! Sign up is July I think so will be on that. Those events sounds great, will definitely check them out. The 100 next year is Norfolk and then Kent the year after so nice and accessible from down South!

I haven't really used the challenger 7's enough to know what they'd be like. But I imagine they're probably not best for technical terrain as they're more of a road to trail shoe
