Ideally, we would have done this a week ago or earlier in the training block, but due to international travel, this was what we had to work with.

DEER MOUNTAIN TRAIL RUN | Rocky Mountain National Park | TRAIL RUN WITH ME
I'm feeling amazing post-100k race, I got a massive supercomensation effect from it, and now running feels incredible. Thanks for another great video!
Nice video! Didn't really notice any quality issues :) Your thoughts on being on-trail during the work week and disassociating from work... yes indeed! This is something I need to do. I'm retired (not by choice; currently looking for decent work) but am dealing with difficult living & financial situations; the stress level is quite high. So, somewhat different than your weekdays yet somewhat relatable. I did some hiking and trail jogging in Chaffee County today (long day trip from front range) and it sooo helped my stress and anxiety. Thanks for some good thoughts :)
Hey Steph. Love the content and your easy cool demeanor. I'm curious to know what you do for strength training to support all your running? Perhaps this could be a cool vlog topic?
Encouraging to listen to you and my take away is goals. I am in the Philippines in a virtual trail less area but so enjoy seeing videos of trails in Colorado . Maybe someday I can enjoy them. Your positive spirit is inspiring….Thanks
suggested 2025 goal Steph: pivot channel to racing a 100 every month like that french canadian guy from LA, Simon. A 100k, that is. The 3inch cosmic runner janji shorts are my fav, cultural connection.
Great Job! Never Summer has been on my list for a while.
Great video, despite the bummer injury!! I need to catch up and see what happened for your race! I hope you're back to 100%! I've had bad ankles since i was young, which is a pain for a hiker/ trail runner. I've had numerous times where i was SURE I'd destroyed my ankle, but hiked or ran out and was good a few days later. It was finally "fixed" when i truly destroyed it ice climbing. The tendons tightened up from scarring. 😂 Off i go to catch up!
Great capture of the NS100K experience, congrats on your finish. It was nice to see the course again, agree that the American Lakes portion is very nice. I always recommend getting out on the course a few times, and not just the pretty parts. NS is mentally tough, especially on those miles and miles of rocky logging roads from the 1950s, sprinkled with tree stumps, making it difficult to get any sort of rhythm. And like you mentioned, rain, hail, and lightning seems to always be part of the NS experience. Hope your recovery went well!
Great job Steph! Looking forward to seeing what's next.
Solid recap, congrats on a great race! I ran it in 2018 and this brought back a LOT of memories. You're a bit faster than me, it was weird seeing anything after Clear Lake in the day light!
This was a really inspiring video, in part, because you are not a super elite athlete (though you are incredible). Your journey was relatable and honest, which I find more interesting and motivating. Congratulations 🎈🎉🎊🍾
Girl, I’m trying to find people to do that with. Looks amazing
nice~~~~~
Congratulations! Your crew clearly loves and supports you so much. This was awesome to watch, and you should be so stoked to have completed this against all (weather) odds! 👏
Great vid! Love how you’ve been honest and vulnerable. Wonderful tips on how to get to the start line. So keen to race my first 100 in October!
I enjoyed this so much, I may watch it a second time! The long format of this video shows the grit, determination, planning and support needed in order to complete an epic adventure like this. One day I hope to get there as well. Awesome stuff!!
Woohoo first one done and dusted! What’s next? A great recap, really enjoyed it.
Proud of you! What an amazing accomplishment!
What an accomplishment! 🥳 biggest rock star I know
Congrats on your finish! Way to push through and get it done!
Omg! Your “I don’t care how long it takes, I’m going to finish” resonates so hard with my recent 50k. Huge congrats!!
Thanks for talking about all the nutrition that helped you, good advice and info!
Me Dear Stephanie, I'm so proud of you. Your determination and perservance is off the charts. You never gave up and kept going. I'm so happy for you. Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉I ❤you so much!
Hey congratulation Steph on both your Channel and your 100k, seems lime a great event! Say hello to Chandler! You guys rock!
Congratulations on the finish!! I dropped at Clear Lake. After the storm, I was done. It blew a number of trees down on the course up to Clear Lake. It was a beautiful course!! Congrats again!
congrats!
So good off you!! Thank you for taking us along on this great adventure! Greetz from the flatlands of Holland;)
CONGRATS!!! You’re a badass
You’re amazing! Loved watching your recap with all the highs and lows. You should be incredibly proud of yourself. So inspiring
Super stoked for you on this finish , you did it !! You will no doubt recall this day and race for many years !! Great job.
18:49 Front pockets are loaded! 💪
You did it!! Congrats! You even got Janji to notice! 🥳
On 7/27/24 I ran my 5K pb… are you all sitting…25:19. Hey it’s a start
Wow nice work!
Amazing job, congratulations!
Thank you!
This race is overlooked in it's difficulty unless you've run it before. I ran it (2023) with a time of 18 hours 11 minutes which seems like a LONG time to run an 100k race. Much of the last 10-15 miles was run-walking/speed hiking. That final 1300 foot climb a few miles before the finish were SO HARD! LOL! That said, I too loved this race and would love to run it again! Well done and congratulations!
Thank you!! Ahh those last 15 miles were certainly my hardest, the last 8 in particular because that Bockman climb felt never ending lol. Definitely hard but so beautiful and a really magical experience- you said it best, I would absolutely do it again!!
Such an emotional journey you made it through. You are so awesome! As a young female trail runner myself , you inspire me to push myself to further goals. Great video.
Thank you so much- I believe in you and I hope you find some races and longer distances that may call your name!! 🫶
so awesome, congrats!! great recap. i’m training for my first 50k and i’ve loved watching your training videos for inspo!
Thank you so much- I hope you have the best time during your 50K! You got this! 🫶
Congratulations, what an accomplishment! I'm about 5 weeks out from my first 100 mile trail race in Steamboat and I appreciate you sharing all the insights and glimpses into your thoughts and personal feelings during the race. I definitely picked up some tips regarding gear, fuel, preparation, and overall mental fortitude that will help me on race day!
Thank you so much! I am rooting for you- that sounds so amazing. I hope your fueling goes well and you have great conditions! Sending you the good vibes!
Whoo hooo I've been waiting for this update!! Congratulations - it's been inspiring to see your training journey and now to hear you process this epic adventure you went on. Psyched for you and hope you're recovering well.
Thank you so much! Definitely starting to feel like my legs belong to me again 😂
Congratulations!! Incredible race, incredible video! You pushed through, and accomplished your goal! I'm glad you included the low points... it makes the journey much more real and relatable. Your crew was amazing, and props to your dad literally giving you the shirt off his back. And having a partner like Chandler helps make the impossible dreams possible.
Absolutely- I am so blessed beyond belief. Thank you so so much! ❤️
Incredible video of an amazing performance. Big congratulations on getting that done. I learned a lot from the way you dealt with the various hardships you encountered. Thank you! Keep up the great work.
Thank you! It was such an incredible experience, hard but I learned so much that day! I wish you all the best!
Huge congratulations!
Great recap, thank you for sharing and congratulations!
Nice work!! 🎉
Absolute legend. Congratulations and fantastic determination to give through the hard times. Amazing achievement and you should be immensely proud of yourself 👏
Thank you so much! 🫶
Great job!!! 🎉
Great job! Will throw down to Daily Bread on todays run!
Thank you! And I hope you like- I absolutely love Daily Bread!!
