Welcome to Film My Trail Run. Dave here and my goal is to help promote the sport of trail running. I love running adventures and challenges and by starting this channel I have created yet another excuse to spend more time on the trails.
The LA Marathon 2024 - Breaking 3 Hours
An Irishman running the LA Marathon on St. Patrick's Day. What an adventure. The ceremony kicked off in Dodger Stadium and meandered through 26.2 miles of the best sights the city has to offer. I really had to grind in the second half but couldn't be happier with the result.

The Sean O'Brien 100KM - The Quest for a Western States Qualifier
Переглядів 2,4 тис.6 місяців тому
Sean O'Brien is a tough 100K but how could I resist a day spent running in the Santa Monica Mountains when they are right on my doorstep? I think I may have finally figured out what is required to survive in these hot races. A Western States qualifier and a lesson learned....now that's what I call a good day at the office.

This video took an unprecedented amount of time to publish. I started recording in October and finally published the "recce" video in February 2 weeks after the race itself actually finished up. I had to publish it first though because if I jumped straight into editing the race footage I would never have circled back to complete this.

Leadville Trail 100 - Nowhere To Hide When The Wheels Come Off

I didn't think it would be easy...but I didn't think it would be this hard either. After spending 3 weeks at altitude I was well trained and acclimatised. And yet I stood in disbelief at how quickly my race went from hero to zero. Suddenly my tank was completely empty. I struggled to put one foot on front of the other. I thought my race was over...but then I remembered what I promised Ken and M...

It's time to run. The race kicks off tomorrow at 4am. Nothing more I can do now. IT'S SHOWTIME!! After another good week of picking off those final sections of the course I am ready to race. I was absolutely delighted to get the opportunity to meet the legends that are Ken and Marilee, race directors. They've been doing this for 40 years. Thanks everyone for following along on my journey and wi...

Course reconnaissance is worth its weight in gold. This episode details my efforts to get boots on the ground and see as much of the Leadville course as I possibly can. With it being less than a week now until the big event it is very important also that I don't over do it and leave myself fatigued on race morning.

Two more busy weeks of training. I'm very happy now with my cardiovascular fitness but I know, from experience, that stomach distress will be my greatest enemy on race day so that is where much attention will be levied going forward. In this episode I also talk about my confirmed pacer and my discussion with a 16 time finisher of the Leadville 100.

Another very solid week of training. There was a long run, a tempo run, and lots of elevation in climbing some of the big peaks in the area. With things moving in the right direction it is time to nail down some of the other logistics and get my pacers lined up. Let's see if I can put an ace team together for operation "Leadville 2023"

A solid running foundation was put down over the past few weeks but now it is definitely time to go to work building on that foundation. In this episode I talk about pushing a little too hard in the first half of the week but having the good sense to pull back and take the weekend off. There is much work to be done and there is a fine line between the right amount of training and too much train...

Hi dave, well done and great video.
I'm thinking about doing this just for the chips. 🤣
Good work!!
Thank you, and thanks for watching 🙏
I put some cotton inside, then sealed with putty
That works too 👍💡
Living in Vancouver and coming home for this race this September! First race in Ireland! Very excited, thank you for the reccy video!
It’s such a great course. If you have forgotten some of what the REAL Ireland looks like then this course won’t be long in reminding you. Have a blast and thanks for watching 🏃🏻♀️❤️🇮🇪
So you say...Dont do it without poles? I did it twice (succeeded once - timed out day 3 1st time around - by 5 mins) and poles wouldnt have helped me. In fact they would have hindered me. You need less weight, and less faff on CWU. But I guess - if you feel like poles would help you then go for it. But you can indeed do it without poles. the one I failed? 2021 - COVID, single tents, and brillliant sunshine in August... The one I succeeded - 2022. 8 days and the worst CWU weather on all the events history. Non stop rain, floods, high winds, high drop out rate, and I was the (one of if not the) oldest to finish at almost 62. As far as navigation - do the routes as recces. learn the key points where you can make mistakes. I recced 4,5,6,7 and I had already run day 1-3. That helped enormously. And as far as food - I loded up on days 1 and 2 with bars and gels, I collapsed with no energy end of day 2. Day 3 I completed with mild hypothermia. But I switched to sugar diet mid way (fizzy drinks, tic tacs), loaded up with soups and chips in the evening. and end of day 4 I bought a lot of sugar loaded food to sustain me through to the end. Shoes - Altra Timp 4 wide toed shoes and soft on the feet but admittedly less grip than some (no blisters - duplicate replacement shoes swapped end of day 5 - take at least 2 pairs). In 2022, with it being so wet, it didnt make a lot of difference in my opinion. Good video. But I say again - you can do the run without poles.
Apologies for the slow response, I’ve been off UA-cam for a little while. 2022 was the year I did it also. A wet one to be sure. Can you do CWU without poles? Absolutely, but I am so used to them now that they really add very little faff and I wouldn’t be without them in any mountainous race longer than about 50k. Sounds like you had to experiment with what food worked for you. To finish in 2022 is an added badge of honor. 270 started, 104 finished. Still one of my fondest memories. Planning to go back as a volunteer at some stage in the future. I hope your running is going well and you have more great adventures ahead 🏃🏻♂️⛰️💪
👍
Thank you 🙏
Hi David. I've watched this video so many times now even my kids say "Are you watching David again Daddy?" LOL. I'm running the Limerick marathon this Sunday so I love the insight this video gives. Thank you and I hope all is well.
Ha ha, that’s too funny 😂 The very best of luck on Sunday. Keep the energy going in and you’ll do just fine 💪🏃🏻♂️🥳
Thanks for the video - its nicely made and gave us a nice selection of the course on a daily basis. All the way from Vietnam !
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Are you living the expat lifestyle in Vietnam? I’ll never forget taking a slow boat through Halong Bay. Breathtaking ☀️⛰️
@@filmmytrailrun I have been here for 5 years, pre co-vid and got married here and have a daughter already. Will be coming back to the UK next year but just for education for the children, after that i will return to live in Vietnam as it is a lot safer in Vietnam than in the UK and we dont have immigration problems like we do in the UK, as im sure you are aware off. I am also an ultra runner, i have completed the Moab 240 in Utah and have done a solo run of the coast to coast and the pennine way prior to me coming the Vietnam and thats why i appreciate your film of the cape wrait run - what do you think about running in one way the entire length rather than broken stages as you did ? thanks a lot mate.
Great Video. It looks so easy for you running and recording . I have done 3 times the half , this year is my first full in Limerick and my 7th marathon :) wish me luck . One question , you didn't take any gel during the course? and congrats once again
Thank you, and the very best of luck to you in the marathon. I took six or maybe seven gels during the race. I’m pretty sure I made a comment on it when I took the last one, salted watermelon 😋 Good energy management is key to your success so definitely take on something regularly after mile 4 or 5.
You were fast with a gopro and the course looked super flat which was a bit different to New York
Thanks, yeah, Chicago is a good course for a personal best. People think New York should be flat but, as you probably found out, there are plenty of sneaky ups and downs in there. Thanks for tuning in 👍
Well done, great running
Thanks Tadeusz, just another day at the office these days 😂
Congrats Dave ! You ran a great race & time. Thanks for capturing the atmosphere of the LA Marathon for us. Looked like a lot of fun ! Well done to Claire in her race too . Her Scottish grit got her over the finish line in spite of her painful injury. A St Patrick’s Day that you will both be talking about for years to come !! 🇮🇪 🏴 ☘️
Thanks Murs, L.A. Marathon on St. Patrick’s Day. Yeah, had to be done ☘️
Well done Dave! Thats an incredible time! And well done Claire. Grinding it out when your injured is a marathon in itself. Well done both of you!
Thanks Joan, yeah I’m delighted with that result and Claire will be back to fight another day. She has much more to give 🏃🏻♀️💪. Recovery time here for the time being before we decide on the next adventure 😉 Thanks as always for tuning in ❤️
Great work bro, love the energy . That mental resilience of embracing adversity and keep the momentum forward is chefs kiss. ALL GAS NO BRAKES BB 🔥 congrats
Thanks man, yep, full gas until you cross that finish line. It definitely became a mental game in the second half but I am very happy I could keep it together and cross that finish line strong. Thanks for watching 👍
Great stuff man, good job following through 💪💪💪
Thanks man, yeah, keep grinding until you cross that finish line. Delighted with that result. A hotter and hillier course than I expected. Thanks for watching 👍
Well on ya Claire and Dave! Ireland 🇮🇪. A great film and a great run….gopro and all!!! Slainte!!
Thanks Aine, yeah, delighted to finish under the 3 hours, especially when I was wearing the green on St. Paddy’s Day. Go On The Irish !! 🇮🇪 ☘️ 🏃🏼♂️
Fantastic david and claire well done! Great to see the streets of LA and felt like we are there. Id say the heat was rough, congrats 🎉
Thanks my friend, yeah first time seeing the roads when they weren’t rammed with 🚘 🚙 🚗. Hot indeed, and hillier than I expected, but that just made crossing that finish line all the more satisfying.
And while recording the video. Amazing. Come on indeed!
I had to summon the beast within. You’ll know all about it in a few months. I look forward to cracking that nut together 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️
Sure that was a great grind Dave 2.57 smashed it ..
Thanks Alan, yeah you won’t hear me complain about that. Very happy with the result. Thanks for checking out the vid 👍
Brilliant run/video as always - congrats to you both ☘️…. Shame it had to be Heineken tho 😂😂😂 🤷🏼♂️. Guess you gotta be grateful for anything after that slog 🙌🏻 🍻
Ha ha, yeah, you take what you’re given in these circumstances. Thanks, as always, for the support now it’s time for this fish to get off his bicycle and back into the hills. Not my greatest analogy…but you know what I mean 😂
Brilliant well done
Quick!!! Great stuff Dave 👏. That looked like a grind that just kept on going. Hats off to your head game there.
Awesome 'grind' Dave super video and what an atmosphere along those streets!!
Thanks Jon, yeah delighted with how that turned out in the end. It always feels better when you’ve had to work for it. Time now to get back in the hills.
Good man Dave grinding it home in 2:57. That's a win. Looks amazing to see da streets of LA with not a car in sight. Well done to Claire for persevering to da end with a hamstring injury. Ur both amazing!!
Thanks Kate, yeah, quiet streets in LA is a rare sight indeed. Great day out in the city.
Really enjoyed watching, great video and well done on 17th. You stayed so positive (on camera at least), and you kept going so well after being sick. Superb.
Thanks a lot for the kind words. Yeah, so long as I can keep moving I’m generally happy to stay in the game. Finishing can be painful for a while, but a DNF? That stings for ever more so my motto, “avoid wherever possible” 😉 Thanks again for tuning in, and hey, happy running 🏃🏻♂️💪
Sounds like you are going to be busy in 2024, bro !! I'll be there every step of the way !! 😘
Well done 007 !!
Keep it up Dave 🏃🏻- always interesting vids 👏🏼
Thanks man, yeah I knew there would be something to see down around Venice beach. It’s a crazy auld spot. Now onwards to the LA Marathon. I hope your own running is going well 👍🏃🏻♂️💪
loving the random lives you guys are living :-) looks better than running through dreary wishy!
Haha, thanks Sandra but I won’t hear a bad word said about Pishy Wishy. Thanks for tuning in, I thought for sure I would have slipped off your radar by now. God bless the UA-cam algorithm 😂😂
Well done mr. Barry. Dave Barry. Should have had a dry martini out there to sort out your stomach....
Well done Dave! Amazing running! Congrats on the placing. Irish machine you!!☘️🇮🇪☘️
Do you get a decent Guinness out there? Love the videos 👍🏻
Gewoon dave! Savage finish time and placing. Making the irish proud 🏃
Yeah, happy enough with that alright and also with the fact I wasn’t too much of a crock at the end of it. Onwards now to the LA Marathon. Thanks, as always, for coming along on the journey 👍
Great video dave! Looking forward to the series ahead ! No doubt you will smash the 2.50 and leadville later on! For curiosity sakes... What is you v02 max mind I ask? Keep it up dave
Thanks man, I haven’t had my VO2 max tested. My Coros watch says it’s 52 but my Garmin watch said it was closer to 60. Hmm, maybe that watch wasn’t so bad after all 😂😂
Best of luck with all your races. With cloud like that you might as well be in Ireland!!!
Thanks Tadeusz, yes, the weather over here has not been what I expected. Lots of cold, wet, and wind. Sur’ if that’s what I wanted I would have just stayed at home 😂
Looking forward to all your videos and August, best of luck at la marathon
Love to see you take a crack at that fkt so thats my vote 😂
Daft question but do you now live and work in the States?
Ha ha, not daft at all. My wife is on a 2 year work assignment so yes, we have been out here for almost one year with about one year to go. Thanks for tuning in with all this American stuff 😀👍
Well done Dave, great video. Super result considering how you were feeling. I always enjoy the fact that you show us the good stuff and even when you are struggling. Not an easy event by the looks of it. Not like the nice compact trails of The WW. :-) Well done Claire too for volunteering and of course being part of the dynamic duo. ;-) Looking forward to the next adventure. (Great to see the Donadea shirt on display . )
Thanks as always Ray. It was nice to get a race…and a video under my belt. It’s great to see your own running going from strength to strength 🏃🏻♂️💪❤️
Great stuff Dave loved the video - credit to you as always, pint half full even in the lows….. ‘shaken but not stirred Mr Bond’ 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 another mission accomplished!
Well done 👏
Thanks Pah, these races are such great adventures. I hope you have a few adventures of your own lined up….and hey, well done in Donadea, you didn’t have an easy journey to the start line 💪🏃🏻♂️
Well done on getting a qualifying time despite the illness.
Congratulations on the 100KM 👏Love the Donadea 50K T,,,,,,
Thanks and yeah, it was only afterwards I realized how much pride of place the Donadea Tee got…rightly so 👕 ❤️ Thanks for tuning in 👍
I was waiting for da MASH theme tune to kick in Dave. Good to see u putting in da time on da recce.
Well done 007 on accomplishing your mission. Enjoyed seeing how it went for you. Great vid.
Thanks Kate, yeah the 007 element added some additional craic. You’ll see the course yourself before too long ❤️
Super Dave!
Great result! Sounds like the ginger helped a bit
Thanks, yeah the ginger definitely helps. I actually think I may be figuring out these hot runs so the plan now is to plan a race in the heat of June and see if I can bring it all together 🥵
Fantastic achievement. Such glorious scenery.
Thanks David, yeah, the scenery over here is like something out of a fairy tale. Thanks for tuning in 👍
