Zeker weten! Daarom dat ik er dit jaar ook weer zal staan 👌 Moeilijk te weerstaan ☺️

Yeah I heard some stories about how difficult and especially dangerous that it got. I got my mind set on completing this race in the future (in better weather that is 😉). Thanks for subscribing ☺️

Congratulations on finishing it! Especially in those conditions 👍

Hi! Glad you liked both videos, the conditions were awful indeed, but we learn something from every race 👍

There were a lot of DNF's at that aid station, which was also a bit of a surprise especially is you looked at the cut off times for the following aid stations... the mud was indeed something! going uphill wasn't really the problem but those downhills that really scared me, and then you see people running past you like it's nothing, I was like say what 😱 Hope to be able to run this event again on a beautiful day, not the worst rain day of the year 🫣

Thanks, glad you liked the video 😊

Thanks ☺️ I usually try to find a good balance in having fun, eating a lot and not burning too much energy, oh yes and annoying the hell out of Cindy as much as possible 👌🤪

During a normal day i usually drink about 5 to 6 double coffees to get me through my 16 hours fast, on top of that i usually take a pre workout on longer runs and especially during races then i take caffeine gels, shots, ... I'm a caffeine junkie 😅 But my body tolerates it well and it improves my performance, never payed attention to the source of my caffeine like you mention guarana, will check it out to see what the difference could be 😉

@@gofora_run Wow, that's a lot! I drink 3 double coffes per day, but i used to drink more, so i definetely have some caffeine tolerance. Try it, it might work well for you!

half a liter of beetjuice, oh wauw 😅 I discovered it a couple of months ago, beet juice and also magnesium shots really changed my preparation and recovery process. noticed it especially in my consecutive marathons that i did in May.

@@gofora_run Awesome ! I notice it too. It's as if i had done more base-training than i actually did. Breathing is easier at the same pace.

Hi Leo! Well i'm glad i chose the Xodus Ultra 3 as at no point my feet itself gave me a hard time, also the stability and grip was amazing, i was doubting to take either the Nike Zegama or Saucony Xodus but it seems i had made the right choice. I did has a spare pair with my girlfriend in case i needed it and that was the Hoka Speedgoat 5, which is also a very good shoe for more technical terrain 👌

@@gofora_run I will consider the speedgoat, as they felt fantastic in the shop. So soft yet not sluggish. Right now, i stick to the hoka torrent 3. If you add a PB-foam!!! insole from saucony, it totally transforms the shoe! I will also resole the torrent with the vibram zegama after i see some wear. here's a vid that shows a resoling process: ua-cam.com/video/p4kNu740Yd0/v-deo.html

Thank you! 😊

Kan alleen maar hopen dat het lichaam voldoende herstelt is na die 2x20km trails van in de week ook 👀 We gaan het snel weten 🤞

Haha thanks ☺️ I pretty much live on coffee in the morning to stop my hunger. For the next marathon I’m not fasting during the race since it’s in the evening starting at 7pm, but that will be another challenge on its own, running so late 🫣

If it's anything like the 25 the Cumulus is a waste not as comfy as the nimbus and not as fast as the novablast it's a good shoe regardless but sort of pointless.

I would definitely not choose the Cumulus for this, you will not have enough energy return and after a while they will wear your down. If you really need to choose between the 2, then go for the Novablast 4 👍

Maybe you don't know this 100km race well or have never done it: look at the track please! Last year I ran 2 100km on the flat with the Novablast 3 and an excellent time under 10 hours, but here we are talking after 35 km of ups and downs to climb for 17km up to 1000m and then descend for as many 17km up to km65 and, without looking at the weight of the shoe, the most suitable one would be the Gel Nimbus, but certainly not the Novablast 4 because I believe that on the downhill the your quads and kneecaps would really hurt. So I believe that the Gel Cumulus, already tested in similar sections, gives a better guarantee and is an excellent compromise for keeping the race time and, more importantly, your legs in good shape!@@gofora_run

Hi! At first i found them a little bit snug, but the upper has a slight stretch to it and once i got going they felt really good, did a 20K already in them and really enjoyed it

Hi! Well if you are looking at those 3 then i would recommend the Rincon 3, they are much more versatile, the Supernova Rise also isn't bad either, The Cumulus 26 i don't like the energy return from the midsole, the upper is great though but i'm not keeping them in my rotation

@@gofora_run thank you for your input!

Sorry to hear that! But yes sometimes some colors are not available everywhere unfortunately

Well it depends what you mean by exited right :) But in the end i was pretty calm actually, probably because i was tired

Haha yes I know, in some videos I perhaps increased the speed a bit too much. It’s not always easy to find the balance between talking too slow and just right, but I’m paying attention to it. Thanks for your comment!

das waar, en toch schrijven we ons telkens weer in voor een volgende marathon 🤣

I also like the color very much, the upper of the shoe is great, but the midsole and energy return is not really what I was expecting, for running a 5K they are not bad, but when I take them out for a 10K then I don't like them so much, this is just a personal experience and yours could be completely different so hope you like them!

Glad that you liked it and took the time to comment!

Hi James, to be honest i'm still having issues with the heel, I have currently done about 40K in them and decided to give them one last chance, if that doesn't work i'm selling them. A friend of mine already returned his due to the issues...

@@gofora_run thanks for the update. Sorry to hear that the issue still exists.

Hi, They weigh 295 grams in my size 46, I also have made a first impressions video about them already so if you want to check it out ua-cam.com/video/K1sZPUCrwZs/v-deo.html

Hi, if I may ask, what would you have preferred me saying? I’m always open for suggestions to improve my future videos. Thank you for your comment!

@@gofora_run it should be min/km or min/mile. With what you provided we would have to divide by 60 and then take the inverse of that to get a sense of what speeds you are referring to. This is standard in all videos ive seen on youtube.

Thank you for your input, will definitely keep it in mind for future videos! Much appreciated.

it is ok to use metric

I know, but I can understand the remark from ChickenNoodle883, I do have a lot of viewers from the United States and such also, there the metric system is a bit less used, and to be honest it doesn't take me a long time to put an additional information bar on screen with the equivalent in miles 🙂

Glad you liked it!

Hi! I did not had any issues with hotspots in them. Perhaps a possible great shoe instead of the Pegasus could be the Puma Deviate Nitro 2, also a great shoe suitable for daily runs and speed work. Around June the new version of the Deviate is expected (unconfirmed as of now).

Hi Oscar! I have done a first run in them on Sunday and they are not bad as recovery/easy pace (10-12km/h), but faster than that i noticed not much energy return, I've got a first impressions video that will come out in the next days and will further test them out until 100km for a full review! Regards, Siggy

Probably Magic Speed 3 is the right model for you.

Thanks for the recommendation! Going to wait for the Magic Speed 4 which will be released in a couple of months 😉

Thank you for commenting 😊

Thank you very much!

For me it's the opposite, don't really like really hot showers or bath 🙂 I really feel the difference when i take a cold bath, my muscles feel more relaxed but don't get me wrong, getting in there is brutal and really requires me to stop thinking and go in 🫣

Thank you for your reply! too bad stores don't have them in your area, perhaps it's possible to order them somewhere online where they got a good return policy in case you don't like them?

É um ajuste, experimentei que é preciso aumentar lentamente a distância para que os pés e as pernas possam se adaptar. É um sentimento completamente diferente

Welcome to the channel and thanks for your comment! I do my best to share useful information and also fun content from time to time 😉 Good luck with your new running adventure!

Hi! Do you mean sprinting over a short distance? Or are you always running too fast 😅
