Trail Running GEAR MUST HAVES
After another great year of training and racing, I've gained more experience in trail running. In this video I've summarized the most important gear, the must haves I can't run without, depending on the distance of the run of course.
Check out my list and let me know what you think! Is there anything you can't run without? I'd love to share experiences.

    So those little extra pieces of foam on the lateral and medial do get kind of torn up over time. I initially thought they were a hard(er) rubber compound but now that I own a pair I see they're just the same foam as the midsole. Maybe a little firmer. I guess they do whatever job they're supposed to do. Great shoe!

    I was given a pair for review here at UTMB 2024. Just noticed your review. Ha, we see eye to eye (but didn’t have any heel slippage with my lacing method)! This is the review I posted on Strava: Nike gave me the Zagama v2’s to test on this run: The great; 1) Good lockdown with the laces and well cushioned tongue. 2) The built in gaitors worked well and kept out all debris. 3) Great ride, excellent suspension/cushioning! 4) I went up .5 of a size. Toe box was wide and high enough for ultra distance. 5) Grip was fine, not one slip on technical trails. However there were no wet zones on the trail. 6) Stack height is perfect for me. Facilitates great cushioning but still solid ground feel. Any higher I would be concerned about stability and increased risk of ankle roll. Slight negatives; 1) Weight, not the lightest trail shoe but to be fair didn’t notice extra weight probably because of the excellent cushioning. 2) Did one hard rock stub and the rock guard protection was solid. The front of the shoe could do with a little more protection ie widen the rock guard. This would give me more confidence executing side to side running down narrow gullies and in other situations when the probability of striking rocks with the front sides of the shoes is increased.

    • @chris.schmied
      @chris.schmied 3 місяці тому

      It does everything great. But i just don’t like the shoe. ( now after a few months in the rotation) Idk why but you know the feeling when you grab your favorite shoes before the run. With this shoe I have the opposite feeling. I liked the first Zegama shoes a lot more. Glad you liked them though!

  • @andrewbright6684

    I am like you and a size 12 in my other shoes. In these, I found the 12 slightly too small in the toe box. Unfortunately there are no half sizes after size 12 so I had to get a 13. These then felt too loose. A real shame as the shoe is otherwise awesome

Werden schwer und trocknen nicht. Im trockenen leichteren Gelände finde ich sie super. Hast du die Hoka Tecton X 2 probiert? Sind leicht, gut gedämpft und etwas breiter.

    Took me about 14h and change to finish the race and I don’t understand how can you say that it was really good job from organizers, it’s beyond me. Absolutely zero preparation for the weather, non of the aid stations had shelter, place to worm up or anything like that. I found a shelter at the 3rd aid station in some farmers garage and layered up, probably this move saved me. I saw people quitting and still had to wait outside in the rain for the buses for few hours. There was only one place in the second aid station to fill up the water ONE tap and probably 100 runners. St Gilet had no place to sit even :D. Lots of people take ultra running as a hype that was clear, vast majority was underprepared.

      Great job on your finish! Especially in that time and those conditions. 💪 Now that you mention it, i have to agree with you on the shelter situation. I had to take shelter in some storage room. It wasn’t even warm and almost no space to sit. Some Ultra races I’ve done in the past had tents with heating lamps, even when the weather was actually good. This would have helped a lot of runners that day. ( or all )

    10:48 when you say it wasnt much, i think you totally missed the hardest part. It was not going up, but coming down from Koppl. Not sure you would have seen it anyway because they rerouted part of the race, but coming down from there... you had to cross some rivers coming down on tree roots, there was so much water... ankles were twisting left and right 😅

    Hey. I finished the Mozart100 and it was the hardest race I've ever finished! I also felt cold and it takes me 5 - 10 minutes after every aid station to feel warm again. All the best, I hope you feel well again, Hannes

    Das Wetter war richtig mies, die Strecke matschig, rutschig und schwer zu laufen. Das fordert den Körper mehr als gut ist, dazu die Unterkühlung. Du hast auf deinen Körper gehört und so war es die beste Entscheidung. Es gibt noch viele Rennen in der Zukunft. Ein DNF ist keine Schande!

    Great video again Chris, sorry to see the DNF, but as a first time Mozart Light runner this year, even on our bit of the course the mud and conditions were unbelievable, downhills were so difficult, and it was a long time to be out in those weather conditions. - good to see you in good spirits at the end a few days later, despite the DNF thats an amazing distance on that terrain - maybe see you there next year as well!

    Respect for the effort! I made it to 32km where i missed the cutoff, due to underestimating the mud. I was freezing my butt off too. It looks like you could have profiteered from warmer clothes right off the start! I know i needed more insulation and rainprotection definetely. Anyways, see you there next year!

      I did 80k in T-shirt with waterproof jacket on. Somehow I was never cold, only problem was when I broke my pole on first descent, because I always run with poles. It was harder after that, but managed under 11 and half hours. Last part that you didn't have to run was really sketchy and dangerous. Slippery, narrow trail with raging water below...

      @@sip5123 the 80km were the last 80km of the 100, right? I heard they installed a rope after nockstein, that's how bad it was! Did you have warm pants at least? I hope i never break my poles! Beware of the carbon, the splinters are very nasty and i was told they can cause cancer.

I've had my thighs I've used all winter, maybe running in snow helped.😅 But they were totally soaked very soon, I need to get something waterproof. Thanks for the warning about carbon, luckily it was a clean break and I've already ordered new ones.

    Btw, have you considered resoling shoes? Some people have them resoled with a vibram zegama before they even break them in. Resoling can be a diy project for people with a belt sander (<30euros). If you have them done professionally, you're looking at <70eu. That should give 300km+ extra, with a superior outsole to begin with. So roughly 50% more shoelife, which pays off for a shoe that costs 160eu. The vibram zegama should perform a lot better over the whole life of the shoe too, with barely any wear until the end.

    If this has too much stack height for you, you might love the torrents?! They are my all-time favourite shoes. The toebox is pretty roomy, so you can easily add an insole for added cushioning.
