  • Here I am sharing a video of me running the Ultra-Trail Snowdonia (UTS) 25K without training. It wasn't my intention to run this event with no training. This was due to injuries and I highly discourage taking on this chllanege without adequate preparation.

      Thank you. I feel like it was a huge achievement just crossing the finish line. I will make it within the cut-off next time 😁

    Wow, those trails are so steep! You did so well getting through such a tough race.
    I'm glad that you were still able to get a medal. You really deserved it after putting in so much effort!
    Those views are incredible! I would love to visit and climb snowden one day

      Thank you! It was absolutely beautiful there and definitely worth visiting. It was very tough trying to finish and I wish I could've prepared better for the race. Hopefully I can go back and run a faster time 🤞🏻 Would you consider running this race?

      Yeah, i would definitely consider doing it one day, the race looks like a lot of fun. Are you thinking about doing any other UTMB races in the future?

    Some of those hills looked like a prime location for rolling your ankle. The elevation gains on Snowdonia are brutal. Congrats getting it done!! =D Super cool looking medal :D

    • @YuennyLam
      @YuennyLam  Місяць тому +1

      The ankles have had a good workout for sure and the elevation was indeed brutal. We started climbing quite early on and it just doesn't stop until you get to the top. Really worth doing though for the views, and of course the medal 😁

    Still a great accomplishment. You're always running against yourself not other runners. Your viewers are proud of you. Thumbs up.

    Unbelievable run. Especially after doing Manchester a few weeks ago. After some hill practice you would easily finish before the cut off. Good luck with your running

      @YuennyLam  Місяць тому

      Thank you 😊 It was really hard and I get why they're a bit strict with their stones. I guess it gives me a reason to go back and try again. Hopefully next time I'll be better prepared and not be injured weeks beforehand. Are you looking to collect stones?

    Another awesome achievement. Which medal are you prouder of, Manchester or UTS25? They are both indicators of an incredible amount of training and dedication. Even if you don't want/need the UTS stones, it would still have been great to see a result on the website. Next year maybe? The views looked incredible, although a little too hot maybe. I have heard other people say the downhill is more difficult than the uphill. I'm definitely going to sign up (unless I get into London again - which is unlikely). 👍

    • @YuennyLam
      @YuennyLam  Місяць тому

      Thank you! I still think I'm prouder of the Manchester medal because it took a lot of time and hard work, both physically and mentally, to get to the start line. The UTS was really really hard on the day, but I didn't feel like I have put in as much time to prepare for it (although I would've loved to have prepared more). I will definitely consider trying again next year, depending on what other races I have on around the same time. It certainly was a bit too hot, but if the weather was really bad then it would've been a different kind of challenge I think. I highly recommend it and I hope you'll do it next year.
