Thanks mate, really appreciate this feedback, I’ve been abit out the game recently. Makes me want to lace the shoes back up! How’s your training been going?

Classic deesy

Also fair play on the effort put in by the lads! Looking foreword to doing it in a few weeks, although I think the route has changed slightly

Road shoes would be fine mate, the majority of the first 25K is flat / paved. Then it gets abit hilly and slight technical uphill. But then the down hill through Chopwell is pretty well worn woodland paths. You’d be sound in either mate, whatever your most comfy in I’d say.

Cheers fella, it’s a class route, Ah really what changes have they made?

@@caniultrarun859 More road, less forest this time - but they left in anklebreak alley I think which should be fun tomorrow :)

@lc1577 love it mate

Thanks man really appreciate that

Awesome mate, all the best on your ultra! What race have you opted for?

@@caniultrarun859 Manchester to liverpool 2025 and looking to get a few more in as well in 2025

That’s class, enjoy mate!

Awesome mate - smash it!

I signed up for this if it’s the one around Windermere! How did it go? Looks hellosh elevation

You’ve got this! Scenery will be amazing along there! Big regret of mine not training hills enough that’s for sure!

Thanks mate, it really was an awesome experience. Hardest thing I’ve ever done for sure. What race are you training for?

Amazing mate have you got a race in mind? There’s some class options out there these days!

When I said comments always help the video out this wasn’t what I had envisaged 😂

Sureeeee was! Couldn’t fit every bit in the video sadly!

Thanks Jason, really appreciate that.

I wish you ever success buddy. Enjoy it, but don’t kill yourself Doing it!

Thanks mate really appreciate that!

Thank you very much Debs! Really appreciate the kind words

@@caniultrarun859 my pleasure you have a lovely channel debs xx

Most kind thank you!

Haha you’re not ring there mate! You training for anything?

Yes Xterra Snowdonia Ultra Trail….

Nice! Sounds hilly!!

Legend it’s such a nice route. So remote in places it’s just amazing.

How did it go?

@mrfrisky6501 really good thanks finished in about a day and a half ( weather was supposed to worsen )

Thanks mate, I wish you every success in the race. Especially given it’s your first it will honestly change your life. Enjoy my friend. Enjoy.

Thanks mate input everything into it!! Brutal to say the least!

Senior / Senorita oddball, thanks for the comment. Genuinely comments like this make it worth while. I’ve got an ultra up in the North East in July which I think I’m going to document but won’t be as lengthy as this one maybe a 10 min vid or something. How’s your training coming along?

@@caniultrarun859 it’s going well 😀. Volume is up at 60k a week and HR is down to 120 on easy runs. But the 30k was a rude awakening that a race is nothing like training! That event was rather technical with lots of rocky steps and terrain which really drained me. Lots of learnings to be had and in particular lots more hill training required! My 50 has 2400m elevation and the 100k has 3700, so I have my work cut out for me. Great to hear you will do another one, I look forward to the video. You inspired me to try and try a video myself. Another fun aspect of trying a new hobby.

Love it mate!! Thanks for watching, really appreciate that!

Thanks mate! Appreciate you taking the time to tune in.

Anytime mate! Thanks for tuning in!

Thanks so much for tuning in Ri, comments like this keep me motivated for the next challenge!

I’ll pass on the well wishes!

Thanks Chow man!

Thanks Rigby! Wasn’t easy but worth it. Can’t beat Yorkshire, most of it was filmed in Northumberland which I would argue is better, both absolutely class tho.

Thanks mate really appreciate it!!

Yea its such a great trail. I really want to go back and walk it over a few days, I think that could be a pretty cool experience. Couldn't agree more with HODL btw as a side note.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! Genuinely means a lot! Are you training for anything in particularly?

@@caniultrarun859 Yes! Hopefully hiking the Cape Wrath Trail and the West Highland Way (back to back) next May. Need to lose a few lazy kilos first :)

Oh wow that’s a monster! I need to do abit more exploring up that way, haven’t ventured that far yet!

Kate, make it happen! It’s stunning. Good luck getting back on the Ultra train!

Thanks so much!

Appreciate it Sue hope you enjoyed the vid!

Ah mate really appreciate that thank you. All the best with your ultra I bet the route is class down there! Enjoy friend.

Thanks Chris really appreciate the kind words. Was a fair old slog but most definitely worth it.

Really appreciate that thanks Nick

Yea that was a pretty raw moment, it’s funny watching it back I was so vulnerable at that point!! I totally stand by what I said though. And you know what, it DID change my life.

Oh, I get it. I've been exactly there. I relived that feeling as I saw it hit you. Congrats on the achievement and on the changes.

Exactly that mate what’s the next challenge I’m looking for Inspo?

@@caniultrarun859 Well, what distance are you looking to challenge now? I know that you have lots of phenomenal runs in your neck of the woods (perhaps with a little travel). Next on my calendar are the Rocky Raccoon 100 and the Keys 100. With any luck, I can train without injury and actually start (and finish!) both of these races.

Haha I think without the hedgehog I might not have made it 😂 thanks for tuning in, genuinely appreciate it.

Beautiful part of the world have you had a chance to visit?

Awesome Richard, given I’m in Newcastle and the Lakes really aren’t too far I can’t believe I’ve not really explored it much! Enjoy it the scenery it will be stunning… AND TRAIN YOUR LEGS I LEARNED THE HARD WAY!

Thanks. Yes already looking forward to it. Yes you need to get to the lakes. Some great trails.

Brilliant - all the best for the race! Enjoy the training too, all part of the journey.

Thanks for tuning in! It’s kind of just a hobby for me, never had any video training etc just UA-cam videos on how to edit lol. I’m really glad you enjoyed it, I’m hoping to get my next challenge launched in the New Years! Stay tuned… like and subscribe and all that lol

I couldn’t agree more, it’s amazing what you can do once you’re in the thick of it… really what choice do you have once you’re half way along! Quitting isn’t an option! What kind of distances do you cover? I think half marathons my sweet spot

@Can I Ultra Run I’m almost 59 so I’ve done lots of races and half’s are definitely the perfect distance for maintaining a good core endurance. These ultras are awesome but they involve such a big training commitment in time and effort. Only recently did I take to the trails and so far 42-50km are my distances. Trail running doesn’t beat a guy up physically as much as road marathons but as you know trails tend to have lots of vertical challenges. I do want to try some longer distances like you did. I’m in a fairly isolated part of Canada so not a lot of options without taking on a fairly big financial commitment too....3 dogs, travel etc. Sorry for the long winded message! Thks for your reply bud!

That’s amazing good to know you’re getting out still doing some serious running! I’ve got a run bike run race on Saturday, haven’t done it before so let’s see how that goes! All the best my friend

@@caniultrarun859 good luck on that. Depending on the distances getting the legs to transition from cycling and running is a good thing to train (like running hills in training for a hilly race). I did lots of triathlons too. They are great for “forced” cross training!

Yea that makes so much sense, I think something I’ve lacked is strength work in my legs. My IT band gives me issues which is annoying but I just have to get on with it really!

Awesome thanks for watching! I work with a couple of guys from Canada, super friendly people!

Thanks mate, really appreciate the positive words, it wasnt an easy experience in terms of a physical exercise, but from a mental exercise the positives most certainly outweighed the cons. I think it might be time to plan something else! What race would you sign upto?

@@caniultrarun859 no idea yet, maybe something in the Alpes or Vogezen, I first need to wrap my head around a training program instead of just "winging" it. But the distance itself, trying to give it my all and being unsure if I'd be up to it, is very attractive.

Yea abit of planning goes along way for sure! The alps sounds absolutely amazing! Good luck to you sir!

Thanks mate! Do you do much running yourself?

Thanks mate! Do you do much running yourself?

Thanks mate appreciate it... Certainly helps if you ask me shouting at yourself lol. I find that only happens at a certain point of bewilderment as to what on earth have I done! Have you done a few yourself?

@@caniultrarun859 No way! Ultra running in general is not my strong point. I enjoy the Spartan races (obstacle races) which allows me to break up the runs every quarter mile or so. Furthest I've done is a 21k but my goal is a 50k. I know I already said it but I greatly enjoy your videos because they are real.

@@bennythejet4821 Go for it mate, it did take abit of time to comfortably up my distance past 30K but eventually I kind of just got used to it. Im trying to build from 21 - 30K at the moment, almost like starting from scratch.

Good job man! Enjoy it! Take it steady and you’ll smash it

The struggle is real Ryan! The struggle is real lol. Thanks for watching mate!

Thanks Russ! How’s the training going so far? When’s the race/which you doing?

I think it’s going ok time will tell I guess. I’m doing the Devil of the highlands, follows the west highland way from Tyndrum to Fort William. 6500ft of total accent so it’s fairly hilly.

Awesome mate, I’ll check it out. I’ve just got a camper so I’m hoping to get into the west of Scotland and do some exploring / running. I’ll be sure to drop a message see if you’re around! Tip for you, get stretching now, I didn’t enough and the hills caused me big issues with my IT band which I’m sure proper steering / flexibility work would have solved
