@@VIVSVIBE I can give you a few ideas of what I'm looking for. I ran my first marathon last September using the MAF method and am turning into an endurance addict, so I am looking for races with more miles, but also dabbling into trail running at the same time. Ideas: * Intro to trail running, what to get/expect/practice and more or less how you find trails and decide where to run. Are road miles and trail miles the same in training plans? If I'm power hiking most of my run up the mountain, is that mileage as if it were road miles? * How to progress -- do I go from Marathon to 50M or 50K? How do I decide which race to run? Should elevation or race reputation scare me? * Books -- what books do you read and find value from for inspiration/strategy/learning? * Race reports -- what race you ran, how you did, and retrospective on your failures/learning/take aways for next time. * Gear recommendations -- head lamp, hydration packs, shoes etc that have worked for you and why they work for you. * More of what you already do. I love how you incorporate your runs and some of the scenic views from them as segments in your videos along with the one liners that stick with me. I love your philosophy, especially on getting up in the morning to 'get out there' and to not make excuses for being too tired. It's easy to trick ourselves out of getting the work done, and I like your strategies for 'getting it done!'. I'm still getting through the rest of your ultra running playlist, excited to see the rest and see where you go from here!
Hey just stumbled across you researching ultra trail running as I always do, looking forward to doing my first 50k I had one in may in the French Alps but it got cancelled and rescheduled for September. I live in Ireland close to the mourne mountain region so lucky to have that as a training ground. Thanks for the tips 👌🏻
I was (and still am) more road runner, but time to time I do short 5 to 10km trail runs and I love how challenging it is. I live next to pretty big hill and I use it pretty often. Bought trail shoes, bough running vest (Naked running vest to be exact) and despite that I did only few half marathons on flat surface, I would like to do trail marathon even more. Too bad there are only two trail marathons in my country this year and one of them will be on 11th of June and second one will be 15th of October. And I have amazing plan. I will try to run in both of these marathons, but first one will be just to have my first experience, mistakes and hopefully finish. And second one in october might be more "serious", because I believe I will learn my lessons from first one + second marathon is 47km long, so basically it's ultra already! It's January at the moment, I do run a lot in snow and nasty winter conditions which makes my runs basically into trail running so I think I'm in pretty good starting positions of preparation for that first trail marathon on 11th of June. I have 20 weeks until this run and I hope I will manage to do that.
With 20 weeks to train you should be plenty ready. I hope you have a great time and enjoy every part of the process. Trail racing is such a fun time and the two marathons you partake in should be no different. Have a blast out there!!!
@@VIVSVIBE Thank you! Still need to do some research, because there are mostly plans for road runners and I finished one which was for 10k run on December. Had my PB in 10K and 5K, very happy with that, but I found that it was pretty boring to run in high pace whole time and feels like it is easier to get injury doing this, so I found trail running and it's awesome. Way harder, but way more badass :)
@@VIVSVIBE This part is interesting and scary at same time. For example I can't understand how runners can eat piece of watermelon and continue the race when I take one bite of it and I need to jump into bushes after 15 minutes lol
I like to listen to my body first and foremost but speed work throughout the week even as little as some pick ups thrown in a long run can really help with leg turnover.
I’m not a coach but I would recommend finding a training plan with very specific speed work built in. Then you can have a good structure and work your way slowly into speed work. Like I said, maybe some pick ups in a long run, then maybe some strides at the end of a shorter run, then maybe some progression runs. Something like that in a plan is what I’d look for!
This was the best informative video on ultra Marathon training I could find
So glad you found it useful!
Agree!
12 step recovery for ultras. Sha bang!
Thanks so much for this video!
Of course!!
Im training for the Franklin Mountain Sky Race! I’ve never ran a marathon. I’m excited and terrified.
You’ll have a blast! Best of luck out there. Poles will help:)
I just discovered you, and I'm loving these videos! And I can't help myself, I love, love your hair as well!😎💞😂💓
YAY!! Glad you found my channel and like the video. Are there any videos you'd like me to make that would be interesting for you?
Greatings from the UK. Great tips I'm doing my first 50k ultra this Sunday. Just hoping I can finish in one piece in between 5-6 hours.
Good luck out there and have a blast. I’m sure you’ll rock it!!!
Really great video ! You just made a new fan
Huzzah! Happy to have a new fan.
Thanks! Just signed up for one in December here in Texas 😁
Rock on!! Which one?!
These videos are a gold mine, thank you so much for making these! I'm just getting into this stuff now and learning so much, keep up the awesome work!
I’m so glad you enjoy them! Thanks for the positive feedback. Are there any videos you’d like to see in the future?

Book reviews are on the way! I’ll consider some of the other topics as well. Welcome to the endurance running party!!
Great informative video, subscribed.
Yay!!!
Last tip was 👌🏻
Aww thanks!
Great vid, lady! Lol definitely don't beat up the self. We're all human and, I personally love donuts too 😋
Amen to that!!
As a new again runner love getting more info from everyone. Couch to 50k is going.Doing the SA Ultra,process of getting mileage under feet
I’m glad I can contribute. Good luck on the SA Ultra!
Snot rag FTW!!!....I'm a shirt guy myself... thanks for the tip!!!!😁😁😁Great vid, good luck on your 50K!!!!!
-Ed
Snot rag can transition to tourniquet if you get impaled on the trail as well! I hope that never happens but it's always in the back of my mind.
Multipurpose usage.. even better!!!! So far (knock on wood) haven't impaled myself....fallen a whole bunch for sure!!!
Let’s hope it stays that way!!
Your support team is prepping for the big Franklin Mountain Sky Race. Weather looks good and should be a good test of your training efforts.
Holla!! The course preview video will be up next week. It was super windy when I went out there...Hope the weather is good on that front too!

First 50k in the alps?!?!? That’s incredible. Good luck in September.
I'm loving your videos! Entertaining AND informative!
Thanks for the encouragement!

Plus you can eat food the whole way! One race I ran even had cheesecake bites. It was the best!!

Haha! It’s something you can train your stomach to handle better. On my long runs I bring the food I’m going to eat come race day.
Very useful video,
and about increasing speed we just follow our body ?
I like to listen to my body first and foremost but speed work throughout the week even as little as some pick ups thrown in a long run can really help with leg turnover.
@@VIVSVIBE most safe way 🤔bcz we are looking for many years ahead and many miles, so just never harry increase speed 😃

@@VIVSVIBE very very good!
just signed up for my first 53k. I'm hella nervous haha
Whooooo! Congrats. To just make that commitment is huge. You’ll have such a great time and next thing you know it’ll be the 100k😜
@@VIVSVIBE I've never run more than 15 miles haha.
I am going to vlog the process to look back on too
Rock on!!
dude, I'm nervous for you too lol, mine is 7/31/21
Doing this while pregnant has made my pregnancie easier
That’s wonderful to hear!
