@@fitnessessentials1 I’m definitely not a vet but that would be pushing the limit in my opinion. If he slowly builds up his mileage it could be possible. I was super patient in getting River out running longer distances as I’ve seen other people hurt their dogs with too much too soon. I would think long term knowing that if you take it slow you will have a running partner for 10+ years.

Ok. Cool. I appreciate it. He’s the absolute best and I don’t want to hurt him. To be honest, the reason I want to do a half with him is to continue to do cool stuff with him. I want him to experience it all. I want the world for him. Thanks for the advice

@@fitnessessentials1 You’re welcome 👍🏻 I’m the same as you. These dogs are the best and make amazing companions. I’ve heard it takes up until they’re 3 years old to fully develop so just be mindful of that. Sounds like he’s off to a great start. Congrats!

@@Helooooo-o6j Lol. Made you look. 😂

@@GiraffeLoverMusic-m5m Thank you for the kind words. 👌🏻I’m glad my words inspired. Keep grinding and moving forward.

@@lmaganin Thanks Lucas! Appreciate the note. 😎👍🏻

@@fernandobagnasco7365 Thanks! Agree on the SIS gels. I’ve used those before and have found them to work well. Only criticism I have is that the gel is bigger so when you carry a bunch it takes up more space. 😎👍🏻

@@MonteComeau Totally agree Monte. There are a lot of good options out there and Salomon is not always the best. Thanks for your comments. 👍🏻

@@fernandobagnasco7365 Thank you so much. I’m very humbled by that and look forward to continuing to share more content, learning, and teaching what I can. Thanks for the support!

@@fernandobagnasco7365 Thank you! Lots of work to do! 👍🏻

@@Igwe.FANCYD You’re welcome. Stay focused. Keep moving forward. 😎👍🏻

@@bandanaboii3136 You should have kept scrolling then. 😉

@@fernandobagnasco7365 Thanks for the note and subscribing. Yes you are allowed to take food on the loop as well as in your rest area. I ran with Tailwind in a bottle every loop and often took chips or beef jerky out with me. Some guys take sandwiches and cokes out on the loop. Lots of different strategies around calories. Something I still need to master. 👍🏻😎

@@bcrruns1085 Awesome thanks. Look forward to hearing not only how the watch works for you, but how epic Moab will be. Good luck out there!! 😎💪🏻

@@warrenl3545Thank you for the advise! Definitely need to get out there to get more hill work this next year. 😎👍🏻

@@chad.haggerty Thanks man. I’ve looked at the Fenix before. May need to give Garmin another look. 😎👍🏻

@@mikemackenzie8618 Thanks Mike. I need to make a change. 👍🏻

@@Stick79 Thanks Alex. I’ve ran it twice and loved it both times. Except for the suffering part. lol.

@@FUDNF Back again next year?

@@Stick79 Unfortunately not. I’m running the Tahoe 200 which is also in June and they are moving the BYU to June as well from August. I will probably come out and spectate for a bit. You signed up??

@@FUDNF That’s pretty incredible! Best of luck!

@@Stick79 Thanks man!

@@ndehgan Agree. Such an awesome spot to run in Calgary.

@@vonayengrindhoug8760 Thanks for the great feedback and sharing your experience. No pacers are allowed on the 100km only the 100 mile distance. Love your mental approach to the loops. 👍🏻😎

@@mikemackenzie8618 I like to swing for the fences…lol and yes so much planning. Good on you for doing the 100mile next year at LSU that’s a big one as well.

@@Runfast45 Hey thanks a lot. It’s going to be a journey for sure. 😎✌🏻

@@ndehgan Thank you! I have a lot of work to do. 😎✌🏻

@@georgekirkman8325 Well done man. Congrats. Always a few lessons and training opportunities to take away. I’ve noticed that a lot of the guys that go super long tend to go slower and eat on the loop versus in the rest area. Still a puzzle I’m trying to solve so I can make 24 hours the next time I try a BYU.

@@FUDNF very true the one who won at the weekend was averaging around 50 minutes per loop so just enough time to eat , drink, toilet and then go again! I was having so long I think that I was starting to seize up in the later loops, probably better to walk a bit more and have a little less time.

@@FUDNF and I am also going for 24 hours + the weather at ours was horrendous, heavy rain for the whole night loop, they almost cancelled the race and I fell over twice on the trail due to roots etc at night as you could see nothing, hopefully better conditions next time and I can make it through that night part .

@@georgekirkman8325 Agree. That seems to be the best strategy. But then the day can throw all kinds of curve balls out you which makes it such a fun but tough challenge. I don’t feel like I’ve hit my full potential in the BYU format so I guess I will need to find another one to do. 😂

@@FUDNF I’ll be looking for one in the spring next year! Always tough in the U.K. with the weather but at least I’ll be guaranteed to not be too warm 😂best of luck in your journey!

@@mikemackenzie8618 lol. It was a learning year for sure. Great to see you out there and see you again next year! 👍🏻😎

@@chad.haggerty Thanks Chad! Thanks for the note and sub. It was a hot one for sure but next year no excuses 😎 I know Nose Hill well and even have a video on the channel about it. Glad you’re here. 👍🏻

@@FUDNF I’ll look for that NH vid now. Nice work on the edits/filming btw. Very clean, comfortable watching experience without some of the…choppiness of other channels with low sub numbers. That will change quickly, I’m sure. Really good stuff, man!

@@chad.haggerty Thanks man. Appreciate that. ✌🏻

Let's go!

@@GottaRunRacing Hey thank you! Definitely a tough year and yes I’m coming back to get my redemption. 😎

@@Runfast45 Thank you! Looks like I’m going back again next year so I can put it behind me. 😎

@@bcrruns1085 Thanks Baron. Great to meet you out there and congrats on the finish. Also best of much in Moab!

@@RichRuns909 Good luck man! It’s always good to have a clear plan and then be ok when you need to adjust as the day goes on. The backyard format is such a fun and painful challenge all at the same time. Go crush it!

@@chadgillespie9088 Thanks Chad. Appreciate the comment and support. It’s hard not to get humbled in this sport most days! lol. Good luck in Arrowtown. 👍🏻

@@MonteComeau Good luck this year in Cottonwood. Having a goal to make It to the morning will help you stay focused. I also agree with the concept of peeing every lap to gauge how well I’m staying hydrated. As the day goes on I find it harder to keep Drinking sweet electrolytes so next time I’m going to switch to water through the night and more solid foods. Best of luck!

@@MonteComeau Thanks Monte! I caught that and initially assumed the tabs were 1500 each and saw they are 750. 😳

@@willneverforgets3341 Thanks Will. Great advice. I’m running 100km tomorrow which will be the longest I’ve used them at one time. 😎

@@alane3983 I heard about the car!! Haven’t found it let but will keep trying! 😎👍🏻

@@Pi2.718 Thanks and congratulations on the new pup. They are the best breed ever. You will be busy now. 😎👍🏻

@@Runfast45 I have them but have not tried it yet. Thinking that the caffeine will be a nice kick in the later stages of my ultra. Have you tried them before?

I have tried the caffeinated gel and the chews. I love them both.

@@Runfast45 I need to pick up the caffeinated chews. 👍🏻

Such a gem of a spot.

That's awesome Bill..congrats! If you can do 50K you can do 100K! The biggest training tips from me would be getting lots of easy mileage in. The key is time on feet. You will need to practice your nutrition strategy in the months leading up as these events become just as much as an eating competition as a running event. A combination of fluids, carbs, solid food, and electrolytes are important to dial in. Everyone is different on what you need and can tolerate so practice a bunch. I also did the Goggins 4X4X48 challenge as part of my training which was a good mini simulation to try out. It helps you run when you brain and body don't want to. Last, practice the pacing. You will find that you will likely need to slow way down from your normal pace and will want to do this in the actual race. Getting a loop done in under an hour is easy. Finding your best strategy for how much rest you take after a lap will dictate how fast you run. It's a great event and you will have a great day. I will likely see you there next year!

@@FUDNF These are awesome tips, thanks for the detailed response! I will check into the Goggins training plan too. He is intense!

Hey man thanks and congrats on the marathon. The biggest things that I found in my training for this was a few things. Definitely a lot more weekly miles but mainly easy running versus pure road marathon training where you have a lot more speed work etc built in. You need to build up both mileage and time on feet. Also practicing a nutrition strategy and getting good at eating and running and figuring out what you like and can tolerate. They say the backyard ultras are just as much a eating contest as it is running. I also did a fair amount of running at night to get used to that. Try doing the Goggins 4X4X48 challenge. It's a good mini simulation that I've put into my training in the past leading up to these. Last it's tough to work on but the mental game is so important. Putting yourself into situations in training that take you into the hurt locker a bit also helps prepare your mind. Good luck!

@@FUDNF Awesome, thank you for the detailed reply!

I try to double up on my miles. If I run 9 on Tuesday, I will run 9 on Wednesday. I try to do two long runs on the weekends, like last week I did 13 miles on Saturday in trails and the 17 miles on the road doing hills. Like he said, getting the legs used to running tired, so just building up the volume. Last week a group of us for training, ran 4 4.167 loops Backyard style as a way to get used to running, stopping, resting, and running again.

@@marlinweekley51 Lol. It’s a whole different challenge and mindset. I have a love hate with the backyard format and know I have a better result in me. Good luck in yours! 😎👍🏻

@@latebloomerrunner Thanks for watching. Good luck in your race coming up! It will be epic. 😎

@@ndehgan no not yet. It’s on the list though as it’s in my back yard. 👍🏻

@@AlanBD1 Thanks Alan. I can see how the gloves could irritate. They feel pretty stiff at first.

@@missingmimic Such a dad move. 😂😎

​@FUDNF congrats on 17 laps, great effort 👌

@@missingmimic Thanks!

@@joshchapo Agree Josh. The physical side is not as much of a challenge as the sleep and repetitiveness of it. It’s a good fitness and mental builder.

@@FUDNF Yes definitely a good mental builder for sure. The first day is easy , the first night is quiet , then the rejuvenating morning runs and by the end it starts to get to you a little bit mentally, I’d say mainly due to sleep deprivation,and as you say the physical part really isn’t that hard, But definitely a good little challenge to do Feel great after it’s accomplished

@@PatrickGerstner-cm2tq Hey Patrick River is not from a show line. He was from a local breeder here in Alberta Canada where we live. I worked with a trainer named Tyson Hainsworth who taught me a lot. His company is called Cog Squad. 👍🏻
