    Absolutely smashed it James. Great reflections. One to avoid I think 😂 Too dark for too long but hats off to you 🏃🏻‍♂️🏁

    Yes, you missed beautiful views. It’s so beautiful on that coastline. Good work 💫

    That eye problem must have scared the 💩 out of you. Glad to hear it recovered OK. Can safely say I won't be signing up for this race but I enjoyed your videos about it 👍

      Haha yeah I don't think I'll be returning to run it again but glad I survived!

    Really interesting and relatable - thank you. There seemed to be a load of road running (or at least hard-packed trail). What type of shoes work for this? I didn't get the impression you were crewed, and you didn't mention foot issues, or drop bags (with shoe change options). I am generally fine with the mental side, but (for example) the first half of the SDW100 hurt my feet, and I could see this going the same way!

    • @jamesday1

      Thanks. There was quite a lot of hard packed trail but this is very weather dependent. We had an unusually dry year, but the forecast a week out did have snow and rain forecast. Last year they had a lot of rain so the route was super muddy. I went with Nike Kiger's which would have been my choice even if it was more muddy. I had spare shoes but didn't use them. I've never been crewed and prefer the idea of not having a crew. I did have foot issues in the last 20km with the downhills but luckily it was the end of the race so I could just battle through.

    Well done for finishing that beast, James. I love running but I'm a fan of being able to see and eat too 😂😅. This one is not on my bucket list...

    Bit of a silly question, but where is your red/orange hat from? Looks really cosy and I'm looking for just that for a winter race 🙏

    • @jamesday1
      @jamesday1  День тому

      It's a old Vans beanie that I've probably had for like 20 years. It's definitely seen better days but I'm a big fan of using gear until it completely falls apart.

      @jamesday1 nice, thanks for letting me know and good luck with your next adventure! Hopefully it will be a bit gentler 🤣

    Pretty insane to have no food on offer for 7 hours of race (longer for the slower runners), especially given it's a loop section aaaand they had food later on.

    • @jamesday1
      @jamesday1  День тому

      Yeah agreed. I think the event are pretty up front about this but it's definitely something I missed when reading the instructions.

  • @philipking3010
    @philipking3010 2 дні тому

    fair comments that reflect my experience too. what it lacks in vert it makes up for in other ways. being happy running trails at night with a head torch is a big advantage.
    it is clearly stated in the race guide that most aid stations are liquid only.
    come over to Sörmlands 100 next year for a more Centurion experience.

    • @jamesday1
      @jamesday1  День тому

      Yeah the night time running is a big one. Totally agree that the event are up front about the liquid only aid stations but it's something that I missed. Luckily I planned to use only my own nutrition but I saw others who hadn't properly prepared for it. I just had a look at the Sörmlands route and it looks like a great point to point. Is the terrain similar to Ultravasan?

    • @philipking3010
      @philipking3010 22 години тому

      Quite similar actually. A lot of roots and rocks in the foresta which you hit at night making it slow going. There was a little too much gravel/road but they are planning to change that which would make it even better. I'm planning on going back.

    Trying your luck for utmb?

    • @jamesday1
      @jamesday1  День тому

      Thanks. I would like to do UTMB at some point but probably want to build up to an event like that. I definitely don't have the leg strength right now.

    Got something big in mind? Like a UTMB or Bayswater?

    • @jamesday1
      @jamesday1  День тому

      I'm starting to think about longer term goals but not sure I'm ready for the elevation of a race like UTMB yet. Definitely want to do more 100 milers but need to decide on which events.

    The eye thing is crazy, Courtney Dauwalter had the problem where like 90% of her eye sight went

    • @jamesday1
      @jamesday1  День тому

      Agreed. I don't understand how you could run with it in both eyes. I spoke to a few people who had to drop out for exactly this reason.

      Haha I've got some shorter races planned.
