Excellent video! Very inspirational as I'm supposed to do the NDW100 in August (Still to be confrimed due to COVID19). I have done the SDW100 times but this race looks a bit tougher, any additional advice? I would be very grateful
Hi Victor. Thanks - it was an awesome experience. If you've done the SDW100 then you obviously know what you're in for in terms of the distance and what that entails. The thing that ended up surprising me about the NDW100 was the amount of climbing, especially in the second half of the race. I'd incorrectly assumed that most of the climbs were behind me once I'd made it to the halfway point but there were some gnarly climbs, tackled in the pitch dark, later on when everything was hurting. Stairs! So many stairs! Lol. So my advice would be prepare yourself mentally for the fact that it's pretty full on right to the end. Good luck. Hope it goes ahead.
Great video
Loved this vid! Doing the NDW50 in a few months :)
Just signed up for next year !

Thanks Chris! I hope I can do it under 24 hours otherwise I will have to go back in 2021. All the best. Gracias amigo
Dumb question: aren't you supposed to be running?
You’d think, right? Turns out running continuously for 100 miles isn’t all that easy.
