  • I had always thought that it would be cool to run an ultra, but did not think that it would come so soon and with so little focused training. Since finishing the Sierra High Route, I've found my body to be much more resilient to aches and pains - and quickly converted this hiking fitness into running fitness. This is one for my record books.

    Typically with any other running video I get bored after 30 seconds, but not with any of yours. I don't know what it is, but watching your running videos, and just any of your videos in general, I always watch the entire thing and I'm super excited when I see that you've posted. Amazing job. And by the way, you definitely don't look 30...

    Happy Birthday! At 30 the best is yet to come! After sheltering at home for three months (March thru May), I stood up one day and staggered. I realized sitting that long had really taken a toll on my balance and my body. I came across your JMT video and was inspired to take up hiking. At 60+ years old I feel like a late bloomer, but I've so enjoyed your videos and your enthusiasm, it was the kick in the pants I needed to get up and out. Thankfully, there are many, many trails here in Sonoma County where I live. I'm now able to hike up and down Taylor Mountain without wondering why I do this to myself. Ha ha! Took me 8 weeks of hiking almost everyday, but I feel like it's almost getting easy now. So, congrats again on your birthday milestone, and thanks again for the inspiration! :D

    Hmm, training for the TRT but that should put me on the path to run 38 this summer! I like it. By the time I'm in my 70s we'd better have the technology to rebuild me with bionic legs or there simply won't be enough hours in the day!

    • @HikingNerd
      @HikingNerd  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks Jana! Generally more specific training would be better - you can practice rope travel, crevasse rescue, and general mountaineering skills on friendlier mountains. For fitness, I also find climbing other mountains to be the most helpful and to supplement with other cardio activities. We were quite risk averse with our preparation so we wanted to minimize variables and surprises as much as feasible.

    Awesome job! Have you posted a video about your Sierra High Route trip? After doing the JMT, as well as the Northern Yosemite High Route (on a Skurka led trip), the SHR is next on the bucket list, though with a new baby, it might be a few years haha.

    That's awesome, Jimmy! Good for you! I'd do it if I were MUCH younger. As it is, I'd have to do 50 miles on my next birthday and the only way that's happening is if I were being dragged by a car.

      We can adjust the unit of measurement or method of transportation later 🙃 it could be 90 miles by bike or 90 meters with an electric wheelchair. I think the important thing is to keep on striving!
