Last week we were in La Plagne for our final week of training and recovery for UTMB. Before leaving Annecy, I had a chance to visit the Salomon Design Center to learn more about the development of the new Salomon S/Lab Genesis.

Grandioses those hills and mountains ! 👍🏻☀💚
I just ran the UTMB MCC race on Monday. What an absolute dream of a place to run. Terrific atmosphere even running on a Monday, with lots of people on the trails cheering me on. Now I am back at work wishing I was still there. Good luck to the both of you!
It's so great here in Chamonix. How did the race go for you?
@@JeffPelletier It went really fantastic. Placed 12th im my age group and I started running less than a year ago. 😃 Used tons of advice from your channel and a couple of other UA-cam running related channels along with a lot of running. And doing lots of elevation training (40k in a year). Fortunately, I am able to run tons of trails and did a bunch of prep races before as well to dial down on the nutrition/poles/shoes etc. So it was a lot of hard work, but extremely rewarding and emotional once I crossed into Chamonix. I wish you all the best for your race! It‘s one thing to run 41k, but a whole other thing to do do 170k.
Two years development is nuts. It's great that they put that much effort into a new design though.
Good luck to you guys. Enjoy.
All the best. 👍🙏
j'aime les vaches.
all the best you two for the big race!
Best of luck to you & Audree!!
What can I say? It brought back so many memories of roughly 15-17 years, going there every year. I was smiling from start to finish and recognizing places at first glance which I have not seen in 3 decades. It was also educating (the shoes) and as usual (is it even worth still mentioning) great cinematography...now the smile is giving way to some tears of nostalgia...thanks a lot
Another beautiful video! Good luck Jeff & Audrey!
Wonderful, beautiful, I wish you both luck !!! and have a follow up Vlog on your race experience.
Annecy looked beautiful in this video and the last, need to get myself down there! Was cool to see the design lab, hopefully you'll get to capture more in the future... Best of luck to you both for the race!!
Yes Annecy is so beautiful you have the lake and mountains
Go 'n get it both of you !!!
Best luck for both on your race. I will be following along. Hope the weather stays along and make things easier.
Good luck on UTMB you two- cheering you along!
Another great film Jeff, it'd make ya want to move to France. The cattle are great 😃 Best of luck to Audrey and yourself, it's going to be super. Yes above all, enjoy yourselves for sure. Looking fit and strong. We'll be cheering for you both from Ireland on Friday.
Good luck for the race. Travel safe & enjoy it!!
Loving this whole series💪👏👏
I’m so excited for you both! Have an amazing race.
Hi Jeff, I love your diaries (storytelling, info, images). I wish you both the best for the race! Cheers
Great video! Super cool that you managed to get some footage from the Salomon design lab! And la Plagne ridges look pretty epic!
Good luck to both of you!
Best of luck Jeff! So excited for y'alls adventure ahead and will for sure be tuning in! Enjoy!
Good luck on the race!
Wish you both good luck and a great race ☺
Good luck this weekend, have fun!
Good luck to both you you at UTMB!
Fantastic Jeff, La Plagne looks awesome!! Good luck for the race.
Wishing you both best of luck. So excited to watch the post-race review and experience of the race.
Another great video, can't wait to follow this year's UTMB.
Thanks so much for the update. Love watching your videos. You are a real inspiration to help me keep going.
Good luck from Vancouver; looking forward to following along!
GOod Luck to the both of you!!✨🙌
Another beautiful part of the world, thanks for bringing us along Jeff. All the best to both of you during the race, once again you seem ready and perfectly trained.
On a personal note I watched your video of the Beaver Flats race last year and it inspired me, as all your videos do, and I just completed my first 50K. I loved it and had used your training advice as part of the journey. Thank you so much for being an inspiration and running role model!
Thanks Gerry! I’m so glad to hear that. Keep it up!
Good luck for the race for both of you! Hope that you get the goals! And for recovery you can come to the west coast of Portugal where we have some 100m climbs and freezing cold Atlantic Ocean water! 😁
Good luck to you both..I'm sure you'll kill it. Be strong be safe. 🏃♂️💪💪💪💪
Good luck and have fun out there. I'll be running my first night event this Friday and will be thinking about you 🤙
Thank you so much for your videos ! We always try to go to the Alps once visiting our family in France, part of them live in Savoie and Haute-Savoie. Next year we hope to go. I hope you didn't suffer too much with the high temperature. I wish you both the best of luck for the race from Victoria !
I think we missed the worst of it - I heard that the week before we arrived was much hotter!
Wishing you both strong legs, big lungs and a mega-dose of grit and positive self talk. You have got this, now go and enjoy the experience. So cool that you both got in. Looking forward to the next update. All the best!!!!!!!
Just picked up the Pulsar SG. They come in later today! Can’t wait to climb a mountain saturday in them!
Let me know how they work out for you! By far my favourite current shoe.
Hi This place looks fantastic I go to Chamonix a lot throughout the year and for UTMB
I was looking for somewhere new to go training for a wk in May before My race in Andorra in June.
La Plagne looks great can I ask if you don’t mind where did you stay and is it close to the trails for running
Keep up the videos there great especially the UTMB Thanks Mark
We rented an apartment at Résidence Pierre & Vacances. It was a great deal and literally steps from the trails.
When you do "easy runs", at what speed do you actually run on average? The 2.5hr run was how long?
Hard to estimate speed in this kind of terrain as this one had a lot of slower hiking on the way up, followed by faster running on the way down. But in terms of ‘effort’, my long runs are always done at a conversational pace.
So is the Slab genesis the Replacement for the Slab Ultra lineup ? Does this mean therr wont be a slab ultra 4?
Nope, there’s an Ultra 4 coming. I got a sneak peak at that one too 😀. I see it more as a replacement for the S/lab Sense line.
Curious what's the percentage of d+ you can actually jog/run in UTMB, is it even worth it or there's a lot of power hiking on the course?
Lots of the downhills are actually quite runnable in UTMB, and maybe some of the climbs. But I think I’ll be hiking most of them 😉
Good luck to you guys. Enjoy.
