Thank you for share this beautiful vlog, we just watched, and you did the right thing to pull out with your achilles tendinopathy that started to flare again in your last week of preparation. To me it seems the winter SPINE is twice as hard as the summer one. We hope you recover quickly from your injury 🙏

Great video despite the disappointment. You’ll be back stronger! Best of luck with the recovery and hope you can attempt it again next year.

I love walking and will do so for an hour, an hour and a half tops, and then I go and do something else and have a nap too.

hey brother do you have a full gear list somewhere?

Just watched this all the way through to your finish and then you switched to after the race with your van parked out on the course with you handing out crisps and flap jacks and it dawned on me that I passed through after Dave and Liam with Ryan from the US and you gave us some snacks, thanks Harry, appreciated

Sad for you but you did the right thing. To early in the race to manage a bad injury. I loved the views. All the best for the future 👍

Awesome!😎

Fantastic video. You did 35 miles further than nearly everyone else on the planet.

Good effort, at least you participated, which will be of no consolation but it put's you in a group of people who are at least prepared to try these hard challenges. This years race was fantastic to watch, I was addicted to the 'dot watching'. I've completed the Pennine Way myself, back in 2022, so know the route well and especially the latter section in Northumberland, the Cheviot Range, my back garden and where I do my training. Well done & hope you get another chance at the Winter Spine.

That course is tough. Exposed, elevation, heat, etc. during Tahoe 200, I remember getting zapped around Marlette lake

Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Well done and best wishes

Was watching your dot on the race - hope you are back next year and all recovers soon.

It's not the end❤.... Next year you'll finish. It's a brutal race. See you next year 🫂💪🏃

Very sorry to see that. I do hope that you gwt another chance to do the Winter Spine: you are a skilled video creator and I would enjoy from my armchair your take on the entire race. Good luck recovering

Sorry you had to pull the plug but smarter than “toughing” it out and maybe taking yourself out of running for a long time. You’ll be back. 👍

Truly evocative of the trail. A relative of mine ran the Winter Spine this year but I'm even more impressed with his achievement now I have seen your video. For folk like me, nearly 70, running the Spine is not an option, so many, many thanks from me and loads of other dot watchers for this great video. I hope you recover quickly and come back to run the Spine one day. You are truly an inspiration.

No, what a shame. Through better than running yourself into the ground. Will you try again?

Martin, that was a hard watch at the end. It's hard to see anyone have to pull up, and I don't think it makes it any easier to bear if it's at the last checkpoint or at the first. I've been watching the official video footage, but it was even better to see the race from the inside. You shot some beautiful footage. I live quite close to where you had to stop and know those hills very well. You were fortunate to be up there to see them in snow conditions - although I know that would have made it hard going. Your filming and commentary were fantastic and I have subscribed to your channel. I'll be watching when you come back to challenge the winter Spine again. Debs x

Fantastic work to have shot such a great video under those conditions! You certainly brought home the tough underfoot conditions. Nicely edited and great choice of music, particularly the very apt Moonlight Sonata LOL! I'm sure, just like Arnie, you'll be back! Thank you.

Well done on getting that far. The bog monsters of Black Hill got me on the CS! 😢

Martin, I was dot watching and realised the news. I'd hoped nothing very serious had happened. I hope you can heal soon! I was excited for your spine in winter. Thanks for sharing this part of your adventure, helps a lot!

Do people actually finish this “race”? My God, it looks just brutal! Good for you for just toeing the line. The human spirit prevails👍

Sorry you had to drop out hope you get well soon .loved your summer spine video .thanks.

Lol evidence that I was there, I am in your video. Awesome. It was my first attempt at an ultra (I was doing the Sprint). I managed 24 miles before pulling out. I miss managed my food and had a dizzy spell. I am certainly hoping to go back next January.

Sorry it didn’t work out this time,I also dnf from challenger North due to tendonitis 70 miles in,I’ll be back and I’m sure you will too! Great footage

That's a darn good 35 miles for the conditions and the pain it sounds like you were dealing with. I hope your injury heals quickly!. Thank you for sharing!

Oh man, I'm sorry. I'm also dealing with a recurring foot issue. Just when I think I've got it cleared it creeps back. I'm worried it's going to derail my bucket list.

Nice attempt, there will be others.

Martin .... As we age, we get slower, but that isn't the meaning of the trip..... and i am so jealous of the beauty you get to see over and over. And your videos are worth being jealous of too.

Awesome footage mate! Looks like you got to taste the best of it this time around, the snow and clear skies looked unreal, serious FOMO. 😍 Hope you recover well.. will you be there next year? :)

Cool footage bro!

Wow... I imagine Crazy Mountain is boring after this!

what is your strategies to prevent blisters and the treatment if you get them during race? Awesome videos!!

I’m running this in 3 weeks! Did you have any navigation issues? I heard it can be challenging to follow blazes and marking at night? Any tips in general?

I was late in catching this - what an absolutely brilliant video! I cannot believe how articulate you remained despite such sleep deprivation and discomfort. Superb effort, and great film-making

It was good to run with you! I was behind Bobby in the beginning of the video. You offered some words of encouragement to me being a first timer. You were not joking about the night time being rough

You had me at "running" 🙂

I'm running the NRG Trifecta this year, this video was great for scoping out the trails there for Cabin Fever and Rim to River. Congrats on the finish!

What an epic effort and run! Very cool!

Good luck, Martin!

I would keep these inside my backpack. Have a good race there!

Good luck Martin!

Great job. My husband and daughter both were out there running and I was crewing several runners

Good luck at your next race, looking forward to the video.

May see you in Edale, Martin. Good luck! Have you tried liner socks with the waterproof socks?

The Schusters!!!! :D

Thank you for showcasing this special event. I finished the Charleston 100 in 2022 after DNF’ing in 2021. Noah is a great guy. The community around this is superb.

Is there any race that I want to do that you havent done?!

Beautiful film and music. Great run Martin Well done 👍
