Wow what beautiful scenery. Always love running in new places ✌️
It was absolutely stunning! Running in new places is my favorite part of visiting new places! 👊🏽
Wonderful and Beautiful views and Entertaining!
Thanks Marshall! Our whole trip was awesome.
How absolutely beautiful!!! I would be worried the whole time that I might miss my ship departure! 😆 Man, rolling down a cactus covered hillside would really ruin your day! It looked like a gorgeous, despite not going quite to plan.
Generally speaking, if I can avoid rolling down a cactus covered hillside it’s been a good day! 🤣
It really was stunning and my run not going to plan probably made the one I did more impactful. It was a blast!
@@its_Matt_B_ 🤣 😂 generally speaking! And it's true, I've always found its the adventures that DON'T go perfectly smoothly that are the most memorable.
⛰️ That looked like a beautiful run. It's always fun to just take off running and see where you end up! Really enjoyed the video Matt. Thanks!!
I’m with you, Mark! Not knowing where you’re going or where you’ll end up adds another layer of excitement to a run! On another note, my legs were “marathon-level-sore” after for a couple days after this run! 😂 It was clear I’m not used to to ups and downs.
🏔️love going on those random adventures
Yep! The best adventures are always random and unexpected!
Lovey, you are amazing and I’m so glad you made it back onboard in one piece! xoxoxo
It was touch and go, but I wanted to get back to you (and our afternoon Scottish dancing class)!
***people reading this: I had given Harmony instructions to stay on the ship if for any reason I didn’t make it back in time***
I agree with you, @Harmony! If I were married to him, and if I could have seen where he got himself, I would have been worried!
Simplemente Fantástico. Muito bem! Valeu
Cheers, Milton!
⛰ Wow, you almost perished out there, Matt. I’m glad you’re okay! 🏔That’s awful that the weather forced the ship off course and you had to land in such an inhospitable place with only goats and rough hills.
It was a tough time, for sure! I’m just lucky my mountaineering skills are so sharp and I was able to overcome the almost insurmountable barriers (like using the wrong shoes). I fear that if I had been out there for much longer I may have felt ever so slightly hungry! Ugh! The thought of it gives me chills! 🤣
@@its_Matt_B_ hahahahha! Have fork, will travel. 🍴
Gutted you're missing in Madeira! Though I'm going there for vacation in 2 weeks, care to share the route you had planned? :)
I hope you have fun in Madeira! I really can't wait to go now! As far as the trail I planned, search for "PR1 Pico do Arieiro." It's a 7.5 mile out and back course between Pico do Arieiro and Pico Ruivo. Enjoy it and LMK how it goes! 👊🏽
Nice views!!! I would like to do some running in Tenerife someday. Tenerife has the highest mountain in Spain (Teide). It would be great place to spend summertime hiking around. Definitely Saucony Peregrine 12 or Xodus Ultra would have worked better on your run but hey Tempus proved pretty capable shoe anyway. Which cruise trip did you take? Did you board it in Barcelona?
I was in various cities around Portugal for 2 weeks late September and really enjoyed the country. I wanted to visit Madeira as well, but it is way too far out to include in a general Portugal trip. A cruise stop there or a trip dedicated to Madeira would be best.
Early this summer I did Lake Blanche trail in UT in Peregrine 12 and I was thankful for the rock plate and lugs. Pretty hard trail, slightly over 10K in length (out and back) with 2800ft (850m) elevation gain. It took me slightly over 3h to complete (moving time only) but the views were worth it. At the top there was still some snow, and the lake was party frozen.
I’d love to get over to Mt. Teide next time I’m on Tenerife, but it just seemed too far from Santa Cruz for the time I had available. I think renting a car would be the best option if I’m there on a cruise stop!
Yes, the cruise boarded in Barcelona and we cruised to Port Canaveral.
I’m looking at the Lake Blanche Trail on AllTrails as I type this. It looks epic! You did well to do it in 3 hours! Did you see any wildlife?
@@its_Matt_B_ I did not see any large wildlife, but it was during the day so probably they were inactive at the time.
What a great adventure! Thanks for bringing us along. 🏔
Thanks, David! It probably won’t be surprising to hear, but these adventure type videos are by far my favorite to film and edit!
I would take high hiking shoes.. Like army boots.. Normal running shoes are a recipe for disaster. You really feel safe in shoes that lock above the heel. You just run sideway on steep parts.. I am surprised you felt the rocks with the Tempus...
Boots just take up way too much room. I like to travel light!
It took over an hour before I started noticing the rocks, but the benefits of a rock plate quickly became clear.
Looks amazing! What app do you use to find trails?
It really was amazing! I use the free version of the AllTrails app.
We make plans and God laughs.
Exactly!
⛰🚢
Oh yeah! 👊🏽 for the 🏔!
⛰ 💪🏻
Thanks for watching, Matt, and especially for the 🏔!
Great adventure and great video, Matt! I've really only heard about Tenerife as a place where pro athletes go for winter training camps, so it's fitting that you would run there. It was great to see a bit of it and I'm glad that you got in a good trail run even if you didn't go quite where you had planned, or on the island you had planned actually!⛰
It all turned out beautifully in the end; I got to go to and run in a place I’ve never been, and I have somewhere else I want to go (Madeira).
⛰ Be careful out there! If I hadn't already seen on Strava that you made it back safely (or of course figured out that you couldn't have uploaded the video if you hadn't), I would have been seriously worried to see you running on some very dodgy, narrow trails overlooking cliffs, with no mobile phone signal, insufficient water, and almost no one else out there to find you.
Meanwhile, though, I have a question. You mentioned at the beginning that you used your "trail app" to find some good trails. I use various apps myself to find trails when I'm traveling in unfamiliar locations, but I'm not really satisfied with any of them. Do you have a recommendation of a specific app? You might even consider doing a video about this, if you do have a recommendation, since I think many of us runners have that question.
One problem I have is that I prefer unpaved trails (because of my hip and knee issues). Strava's maps function theoretically lets me choose to prefer unpaved surfaces, but then it proposes paved routes, ignoring great unpaved trails. The All Trails app lets me choose to prefer paved trails, but strangely does not allow me to prefer unpaved trails. Sometimes I find that Google Maps is actually the best way to find a good unpaved trail, but that has its own problems. I could mention other apps I've tried, but you get the idea.
It was a fun adventure! I suppose it was a little sketchy, but it was the right amount of sketchy where I wasn’t really concerned for my safety (unless I had an accident).
I used FatMap to find this trail and I usually use AllTrails. I don’t have too much experience with them as I only use them once in a while when I’m looking for trails in a new area. There are no trails in my area I don’t already know about, so there’s no need to use them on the reg. I haven’t explored the apps enough to know about filtering for paves/unpaved trails. I usually look for the highest difficulty rating as close as possibly to my location. A difficult trail is aways an unpaved trail. 😁
@@its_Matt_B_ Thank you! That's very helpful. I'll check out FatMap. And I hadn’t thought before about the fact that difficult = unpaved. Good point! I'm glad you made it back to Harmony and the ship OK. The volcanic cone at the top of Teide is awe-inspiring. I hope you get to visit it someday. Because the Canary Islands are close to the coast of Mauritania, we used to change planes in Las Palmas, and several times we extended the stopover for a cheap vacation in the Canaries.
@@joseph.cumming I definitely plan to visit Teide the next time we’re there. I just didn’t have enough time to plan, but now I know I’d have to rent a car from the port.
@@its_Matt_B_ Yes, you would need to rent a car. It's been many years since we were there, but back then we found it astonishingly cheap to rent a car in the Canaries. Perhaps because it's impossible to put very many kilometers on the car on an island, and because maintaining cars in a warm, dry climate is relatively cheap.
@@joseph.cumming A taxi was estimated at €100 each way and I read a few things that indicated it is a challenge to get a taxi back from Teide. The trail I wanted to hike/run suggested 6 hours to complete, so it all just seemed a little tight.
⛰ took me a while but found the emoji 😂, interesting run lovely views there!
Thanks so much for looking for the⛰!
This run was a lovely change from my usual flat runs! 😄
⛰️ Always to the end. May be the new Novablast trail would be worth an investment.
They definitely would be if I ran trails on the reg. Thanks for watching ‘til the end! 👊🏽
@@its_Matt_B_ This is more of a climb than trail running.. So many loose rocks... If you don't lock down your heels you can't run down hill. There is a reason why you get boots in the army 🤣
For that kind of trails, I highly recommend you invest in a trail shoe with rock plate. Saucony Peregrine 12 is a good one with a flexible but effective rock plate. If you prefer more road to trail shoe, Saucony Xodus Ultra would be a better choice. Slightly shallower lugs (3.5mm vs 5mm in Peregrine) but still incorporates the same rock plate.
@@TolunayOrkun Agreed! Unfortunately for me I don't get to run trails like this often enough to buy a specific shoe for it!
🏔️
Cheers, Kenneth! 👊🏽
@@its_Matt_B_ Cheers Matt.
