Hi Lee, it was great to meet you at Maesteg Swimming Pool/ Health Suite last night. I came home, looked you up on UA-cam and subscribed and watched a good few of your videos, ( and I’m going to continue to follow you now ) absolutely amazing fitness , consistency and dedication! Your training for the Dragons Back is incredible, wow! I’ve also shared with Clive ( the big guy with the tats) Thanks for letting us know about your channel, I’ll be watching a lot more of them, brilliant! Steve. 👍

My first hokas were the rincon 3s. It really did not agree with me so i told myself i will never buy a hoka shoe again. Fast forward a year later I gave the mach 6 a chance and it blew my mind. For someome who does not like max cushion/ high stack shoes, the mach 6s feel like youre running on clouds but it doesnt feel bulky or cumbersome like most of the max cushiom shoes but it can still give you that top notch protection. Definitely a must for anyone’s rotation.

I thought that the first clip was green screen. Then I realised that your Welsh and love running. Loving the content brother 🎉

Did it in 2023. It was blisteringly hot, but still had to carry gloves and waterproofs and thermals. Madness. Now as a South Wales lad myself we were a bit confused with 35 degree temperatures in Sept. What I and many other found in that was it was really difficult to eat anything substantial out on the hills. The only thing I could get down was gels which is not something I normally like but they were a lifesaver. The water filter bottle would be my number 1 piece of kit if the conditions were like that again. What I would say as well is that the kit check in the morning is a cursory, "show me your thermal top, show me your compass" sort of check not a detailed check. Also, I was doing it this year but have pulled out as it looks like i need a knee op. I have accomodation booked a stones throw from the start line. twin room. If anyone wants to buy it let me know.

I wild camped up the Cribyn overlooking Pen y fan last night with my 2 dogs. Stunning sunset but damn cold packing up this morning. Keep up the vids and the training 💪🏼

Class days in the hills bro, thanks again dude

Not as good as St Martha's mate 🤣😜

Epic video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'm training for trail right now with 5000m+ elevation gain. Currently focusing on MAF as I prefer those. Nice to hear youre doing success for it! Should I add interval exercise in your opinion? Im not aiming to be faster, just wanted to endure the race. Thanks!

I done this weekend past. If you are into canicross you are alound to take your dog as well.

Good luck with training and the event. Its an awesome week. The next 9 months will disappear so quickly.

km and meters

brooo i am second in my segment but a mf just got on a airplane and he is second now

Spot on! I agree the hardest challenge is from the sofa to the door and before that 'mind over mattress'

Distance in Ks, evlation in meters... you are spot on, volume and time on feet the best way to train for ultras, well it works for me... also...all running is hard, irrespective of pace, distrance, terrain, if you are running you are winning!! Good luck with the Dragons Back!!

Miles, but can easily convert between the two. Its not so easy going from feet to meters for elevation though. As for comparisons, i like lumpy ultras and road 5k's are far harder. What an awful and unforgiving distance 🤮

I'm a kilometres man. If there was a couch to 3.1 miles app, we might be in a different place 😅 Couch 2 5k taught me everything i know about running! Good depth on those squats 💪💪

Miles....but I'm old 😂

I work in mileometers and your thing is way harder than mine 🤣😜

Turned off at the mention of Kendal Mint gels. 🤣😜

Tendons need loading to get better. Best to keep training (unless the pain is acute) and gradually increase the load. Also, kilometres 😂

Kilometers

Cool vid buddy! I'm a miles man myself but listening to both converting helps me work out kms for future reference. I do height in metres tho lol. Keep running strong!!

I told you it’s a fun little loop. Almost died slipping down the hill up to the Garth behind Chris.

That looked like a lot of fun mate! Never heard of those other rounds that you mentioned though 🤣😜

😂😂😂😂

You will be doing that lot in the last few Kms on Day 1 of DB mate, especially if it’s wet.

I just don’t do strength training 😂. (Probably should start though 😅)

Hilarious 😂

Doesn’t suppose you still have that code? 🙈

I’ve been doing my training runs in the mornings too, definitely find the cold works better for me too, I don’t even feel like I’m pushing it and I’m getting new PB’s on segments. Running in the summer always feels like you’re smashing it but the cold definitely regulates your temp better

I was actually thinking about a training diary video this morning and thought would be interesting to see yours. 🤣 heart rate and pace is good Lee. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Similar to what I am doing.

What strength training do you incorporate bud for runners please hoping it might help me with my knee

Great video mate

Smashing stuff mate! 💪 Kudos to push through the attacks mate and still getting it all done. Top lad! 👏 Very inspiring stuff mate! Keep up the great work! 😎🤘

The intro literally shows the effect of CBD Gummies 😉 Glad to see training is going well brother Keep up with these updates

Great job Lee (I too like running / training vids) 💪

You rescued the intro nicely there mate 😂

Thank you for your video and some inspiration to start my training! I also registered for dragon's back in 2025. Hope to see you there!

Sounds like you going into full on beast mode. Happy New Year, Lee and all the best for 2025.

What’s the first most expensive race?!

Blogging the training definitely helps with accountability 👍🏻

When I was training or DB 2024, I was doing strength training on Mon, Wed, & Fri, and running on Tue, Thu, and Sat. Sat was my long runs in Stroud which is trail and hilly. As I couldn’t train in mountains, I did hard leg sessions in the gym to strengthen my ankles. I started training hard from Jan 24 and was consistent until Sep (8 solid months] Good luck Lee. Remember to enjoy the journey

20 hour weeks!!! 🤯🤯🤯

Got ya Lee new sub thank you for the I.T. Band advice 💯👊🏼💯👊🏼💯👊🏼💯

I'd check the list again as it looks like you're missing some extra cold weather items - pretty sure Ourea are now requesting you have 2 synthetic fill jackets plus a few other bits

Maybe you can borrow some things from a friend, for instance a dry bag, a mat or the first aid kit. Everybody needs to have one, but most people don't need it. So there should be lots of unused kits around. BTW What about running in every city. Is it still a thing?
