As an ultra runner and content creator I enjoyed this very much, great story and very well done. Congrats on that 3rd place and even more on that sub 15, amazing. Even though you served another country, we here in the states thank you for your service in protecting freedom..
Well done for flying the flag for the UK at the elite level, Tom. Personally, I'm a fat (218lb) 49 year old man training for my first 100 mile (flat) race in 2021. All the best.
Fast forward to 2023 and Tom becomes one of the fastest ever at Western States. Incredible to see at the same time we have Tom, Jim W and Zach all peaking. It's hard not to believe every meaningful record will be broken in the next few years
Tom Evans, ex British Army Captain and current British Trail Savage. That was a fantastic video insight, and what an ending to come in under 15 hours. Mind is fully blown.
Just came across the channel Tom awesome work excited to see what the future brings for you..................come across very humble very genuine and the heart of a lion.............. wish you all the best
Tom I remember you seeing that determined racing during the WTC. I def. knew a new rising star was there...I wasn't wrong. Wish you all the best in the Terrex team
I don't know if I will ever run 100miles (max is 100km 😅 doing Oxfam trailwalker) but your journey in just a short time, is admirable. You run the perfect race.
Last year he had some decent races: ultrasignup.com/results_participant.aspx?fname=Chris&lname=Mocko He went full professional running a while ago. Is he injured or anything?
@@tomevansultra Do you find it helps with the longer races? I have been using it for shorter higher intensity training sessions when lactate build up will be more. Not on long runs or racing as not at a high intensity.
Never a zero you arrived like a shockwave and western states was epic - unbelievable and your attitude and work ethic deserves all the success you have. Thanks for uploading some much needed inspiration and guts 🤘True competitive force now in the world of trail running, up there with Jim 🤜🤛So cool to have a Brit in the elite events, you could even be a Barkley finisher (when it's back)...that's would be amazing. 🙏
Mentions he was in the army I was like...oh cool me too infantry private then mentions he was a captain I have to giggle a bit at the first thing mentioned
Times command LT, it not only gives you the time but the date as well! Great when you fall asleep aside of the trail in multi day races and haven’t a clue if it’s Tuesday of Thursday. 😆🏃♂️🏃♂️
Hi there, I am getting in touch from The Running Channel as we are putting together a video of our Top 10 Running Documentaries/films. We really enjoyed this documentary and would love to feature it in the video. Would it be ok for us to use some footage from this video? We would just use short clips (up to 30 seconds) from the film and would link to the film in the description box. My email is sarah@therunningchannel.com if you need any more information or have any questions. Thank you!
Phil Orriss Hey Phil. You ever tried covering a 100 mile race over remote trail terrain when an athlete moves faster than you can transfer between CPs?? Clearly not!
I think there are some copyright issues with the music, there's no sound for half of the video.
I'm experiencing the same issue...every now and then the sound is cutting out :/
Same. Painful
Glad it is not just me

Instablaster.
This is an excellent insight into a true warrior on the trails!
Shout out to the crew! Looks like they were doing a great job.
The shadows of those strides on the track at the very end are amazing
really amazes me how relaxed and chill you are especially at the michigan bluff. usually people just hit the wall in that part of the race
Great stuff Tom! Love the video! Love your focus, your approach and your story! All the best for your next challenge!
Thanks! You too!

This has just hyped me up to do one myself! Thanks great video 👍
Great video man, keep up the awesome work and content ☺⛰💪🏃♂️👍
Gave me chills! Massive kudos!
From CANADA!
I had no idea that you were so new to Ultras, impressive work ethic!
I don't know if I will ever run 100miles (max is 100km 😅 doing Oxfam trailwalker) but your journey in just a short time, is admirable. You run the perfect race.
Epic!! Would be cool if you gave a breakdown of the gear you used for new or aspiring ultra runners.
Well done Tom , absolute heroic achievement.
Great Vid Tom and an awesome performance! I have a place for this year, hoping it still happens 🤞
Awesome! Way to represent
Inspiring!!! (Great music too. )
Fair play Tom , from the time you joined the battalion it was obvious you were going places
Great video Tom!! A real inspiration
scott kelly thanks Scott!!
Inspirational Tom!
Incredibly inspiring! Good luck in the marathon trials, I’ll be routing for you 🤞
Tears in my eyes seeing you give everything to sprint to the finish line. Well done.
4:29 Man, I miss Mocko.
Scott S me too. What happened to the guy?
Last year he had some decent races: ultrasignup.com/results_participant.aspx?fname=Chris&lname=Mocko He went full professional running a while ago. Is he injured or anything?
That would make a great video: “ In Search of Mocko” 😁🏃♂️🏃♂️
Total inspiration Tom as always dude
EML Recordings thanks very much!! Lots more to come in the coming months 👍
You did your first 100 miler in the time it took me to do my first 50 miler! I love your attitude and effort. Looking forward to see what you do next.
Brilliant.....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻....x
Amazing, Tom. You have a massive future ahead of you. Go get it.
Loved watching this, such an inspiration! *Salute*
Which water bottles and belt do you use to carry your gels??
Del Dunworth I used a whole range of bottles for this race. I love the naked band - it’s the most stable!
@@tomevansultra What were they applying to your legs at the aid stations? I MUST get some of that...
Brilliant Tom well done mate 👍
Fantastic achievement
Very well done video
Amazing video Tom! Gutted I don't get to meet you at the start line of the SDW50 anymore :(
Amazing! It just makes me want to get out running more! World champion in the making
Amazing!!
Perfect video!
...INCREDIBLE! I now have a dream to do what you've done. How did you get to where your at so quickly?
Probably years of running as a 'hobby' and two years running as a pro which is plenty enough given one has the proper genetics. He clearly has some :)
Amazing video and run! what was the cream being rubbed on your legs ?
It's AMP - a sodium bicarb lotion - its awesome!!
@@tomevansultra Do you find it helps with the longer races? I have been using it for shorter higher intensity training sessions when lactate build up will be more. Not on long runs or racing as not at a high intensity.
Need to sort the edit out guys - entire chunks of sound and music missing.
Amazing! Congrats man
Miguel Leça thanks very much 🙏
Amazing effort. Massive massive congrats. So inspiring.
( Not bad for an ex pongo!!! ) Haha.
Excellent race. What were those handheld bottle holders you were using, and what belt?
Really inspirational
What a shame the music cuts out on what is a fantastic video
Is the original movie somewhere available?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Normally I think Adiddas looks wonky and always trying too hard to look cool but those shoes and singlet were bad ass.
Sound keeps cutting out. Such a bummer.
Would of been much more compelling if a better mic was used during the self reflection parts.

RESPECT!!!! 😘
Mentions he was in the army I was like...oh cool me too infantry private then mentions he was a captain I have to giggle a bit at the first thing mentioned
13:40 5K yesterday. Incredible range.
@ 11:00 was that Cody towsend in the back?
Does anyone know the name of the flask holder Tom is using during this race?
What’s the cream being rubbed on a Tom’s legs at every aid station ?
“Amp PR lotion” Sodium bicarbonate sport lotion
This is amazing! What watches do you recommend?
Times command LT, it not only gives you the time but the date as well! Great when you fall asleep aside of the trail in multi day races and haven’t a clue if it’s Tuesday of Thursday. 😆🏃♂️🏃♂️
Anyone know where to get the white terrex tank with the into it that he has on at the beginning of the race?
Who was your pacer Tom ? & how far did he run with you ?
MANTEP!
how did you get in
Not to take anything away from your great run, but Rob Krar is the fastest non American. Rob is from Canada.
Anyone know what they kept rubbing on his legs??
Red Bull™gel.
AMP gel..

Yes, of course
sound is of a lot
Audio is 80% of a video. You need a better editor
In theory a great video but lacked content I felt
Phil Orriss Hey Phil. You ever tried covering a 100 mile race over remote trail terrain when an athlete moves faster than you can transfer between CPs?? Clearly not!
red bull, come on...that stuff should be illegal in races.
Why? What’s the difference with a caffeinated sports gel? Which are seen as essential?!
