Thanks Kev, I'll need to make sure I take more footage when things aren't going so well on my next race, I'm sure there's going to be a period when I wish I'm somewhere else 😃
Congrats on smashing your goal and finishing strong under six hours - that's seriously impressive, Martin! Keep smiling and keep pushing those boundaries. Cheers to more epic runs ahead!
Brilliant, back on your feet running a scenic ultra and crushing your expected finishing time. Plus one for trail running shoes and over the top filming. Hard to believe you were also running the race-the event video is top notch.
Thanks Brian, it was a good feeling knowing I was ahead of schedule in the last 3rd of the race, it took all the pressure off & the shoe choice was bang on 👌 Glad you liked the video, it turned out well 👍
Congrats Martin, super thrilled that you're back racing ultras and a testament to your strength to heal and stay positive. One of the best trail race vlogs that I've watched, super cool to include drone footage. Well done!
Thanks Reto, it was great to finally run the distance again and I feel I’ve learned a lot in the time away from Ultras, it was a nice not going all out and suffering, which I used to do too often. Appreciating the fact you can run and spend time on the trail was a good feeling 😀
Brilliant run Martin…. always so honest about how you feel along the way. So thrilled you got a better than hoped time too! Onwards and upwards to whatever is next 😁💪
Cheers Soupy, I don't think I managed to be in total control 🤣 But I seemed to do not too bad for a change. I need to figure out my next event now while the momentum is in my favour!
Cheers Neil, I was thankful things had gone well early on, it meant I could walk now and again towards the end, that gave the legs a rest and recovery has been surprisingly good, the stairs are thankfully ok to walk down now 😂
The Trailfly’s were great, no issues at all, gave good grip on the trail and on the slippy downhill, yet still had enough cushioning on the road, I’d say they were perfect for the course overall 👌
You always make these runs look so easy. Even though you say you're feeling it we can't tell by the way you run. Keep up the great work.

Thanks Mihai, it was pretty satisfying with how the day went and pleased to be running longer distances again 😀
Super running Martin, what a result 🎉 Good to see you back out for ultras again. The three poos at the start thing is very relatable 😅
Thanks Ben, I was pleased I'd had two but the third, a minute before the race start wasn't what I expected! 🤣
Yes Martin! Cracking running mate! What a performance! Huge kudos bud! 👏👏👏🏅
Thanks Ben, it felt good to be back doing what I enjoy & I didn't break myself which is always a bonus 🤣

Good effort Martin, some great footage there. Really enjoyed the event and certainly a few lessons learned. All the best.
Thanks Andy, great to meet you and get some miles in together, you did a great job for your 1st Ultra 👏

Super job running, coming in 3rd while shooting a first class film!! 🥳🤩🤗
Thanks & I'm glad you liked the video 😀
That is impressive! I'm thinking under 7 hours would be great on my next one, meanwhile you're flying in under 6. Amazing stuff mate, well done.
Cheers Mark, it’s nice when you sometimes do better than expected 😀

Thanks Wendy, hopefully, any future events go to plan as well 🤞 but I think that might be asking a bit too much 😀
Looks like some craic! We did a rally there not long ago 😊
Thanks Tamson, it’s a nice route for sure. What was your rally?
Brave putting a drone up on that day. It was pretty blowy. Nice vid and well done.
Thanks Pete, it was a great day out. I’ve had the drone out on some pretty windy days, it’s an impressive wee beast 💨
You did a great job Martin 👏, 7:51 can spit myself 😂
Thanks Jordon, well done to you as well, I’m guessing you meant spot yourself? Unless you’re a fan of spitting 😂
@@TheDeterminedRunner that's what I meant spotted myself 🤣🤣, as u came into finish line just seen me next to Vikingphotography
@@Jordan_McMillan I thought that’s what you meant 😂
Great vlog, thank you for taking us along ☺☺
Glad you liked it 😀
Great running and a great video too mate, looked like you were in total control 💪🏼 it’s brilliant to see you back to full fitness again.
Cheers Soupy, I don't think I managed to be in total control 🤣 But I seemed to do not too bad for a change. I need to figure out my next event now while the momentum is in my favour!
@@TheDeterminedRunner onwards and upwards mate 👍🏻
Fantastic result Martin! As others are rightly saying a great performance. Looked a great race. Hope legs are ok 🎉🎉
Oh and how were the trailflys?
