Hi Thomas, I think it's an older version of the Adv Skin Cross Season Race Flag Running Vest. Pierre is a great guy though, I'm sure if you were to drop him a message on his via his socials he would be able to help you further 👌

I’m thinking about this only run 50miles in one go will this be enough

[@precisionfandh]

Hi Scott,
It's awesome to hear you want to join the ultra running community and run 50mi! There would be some slight differences between a multi day event and a single stage ultra purely based on the duration of time you need to fuel and be self sufficient for. Plus you might not need your nail clippers for 50mi ;). However, on the whole the advice in the video can be applied to any length ultra event and would be a great starting point to get you planning. If you would like any specific advice for you and your event conditions, please free free to book in for one of our free video consultations. This way we can talk through things in more detail with you. In the mean time, happy training... 🏃
