"I remember my first time" hahah, you got me on that one. Just received a bunch of Spring Energy gels. Can't wait to try them! Of course, used your code. Keep the videos coming!
@@willdtw Hey, it's the 14 hills in the Utrechtse Heuvelrug in the Netherlands. It's a 2 week long challenge you have to run by yourself & submit the data. So not really a race, more of a 50k challenge. Still my first 50k, excited!
Great video Sage thank you. Never ran over 20 miles and doing 50 miles tomorrow solo on the west highland way in Scotland. You are a legend and a gentleman... thank you again
I'm sitting here three months off my knee due to failing to heed Sage's advice: do not over train. Love watching the videos though it's scratching an itch.
@@ultraboy99x compared with Sage not much, but I was training for a marathon. I ended up with a chondral defect which is a small hole on the cartledge surrounding the knee cap caused by bad form and not enough engagement in the quads. I've had physio for the last six months which has taught me good core engagement and I'm running a few kms at a time again!
Great points- just completed 1st marathon, 4K' elev on trails of NC...the time on feet is so important to remember, thanks to the Sage-running base plan !!
I remember my first trail half marathon (after already completing a full road marathon). I thought I was going to smash it out at my normal road pace. I was so wrong. It has been my only race where I thought I might quit after 16 km. But I got to the end and loved it. Been running trail ultras ever since.
Hi Sage, I’ve been doing a 30k long run once a week for over a year now in my training, this week I felt really good at 30k so I thought I’ll give my first 50k distance ago, I took half banana, hand fill of dates nuts & raisins, one gel, & just held a bottle of water in each hand, got to 43k & my Garmin watch started going flat, felt really good but, got put off when battery went flat, so I did 44k over 800m elevation, I was waiting for my legs to tier out but felt good all the way, it’s amazing how over time doing a regular 30k easy pace run, all of a sudden feels like my legs can handle a 50k distance, cool feeling, thanks Sage 😀👍🍀🌳🌲🏃🏼♂️✌️
Good stuff thanks for sharing Sage. Currently training around 200kms per month to prepare for an Ultra Trail Run. Just increasing training and trying to progress slowly, patience is essential here. Congrats from a fellow vegan take care!
A handheld also costs more energy to haul along. A vest keeps the weight of your fluid close to your center of mass.... I heard that from a researcher on The Science of Ultra podcast... A great podcast.
Two of my races - Miner's Lady 8-Hour (July) and JFK 50-miler (November) haven't been canceled yet. Keeping the motivation to do the training is hard though.
Hi Sage...thanks for a great video full of excellent advice. Please allow me to return the favor...have a look into your audio recording setup. Audio is very washed out with a lot of room reflections in the mid/high frequency ranges...not a big deal but a little attention to your audio will go a long way in improving the overall quality of your videos!
Hey thanks, really appreciate the tips! I will admit the audio was especially bad on this video because I had to use my old camera without a mic at all! (Sandi was out with the Rode external....which I usually just plug into my Canon Rebel T5 main camera). Noted on the room reflections. Thank you!
@@Vo2maxProductions No problem! Usually your audio is pretty good...I just felt like giving something back after all the good advice I've taken away from your channel and seeing as I can't give you any advice on running (I'm a novice ultra runner coming off of road marathons, doing my 1st mountain 50k in Oct if the virus permits) but audio design, editing and post-production is what I do for a living so at least I can give something there...hope you guys are staying safe & healthy! Cheers...
How do you calculate your pace? I have experience running road marathons and have a good idea of what is a sustainable pace for that distance but have never gone further than 30 miles in training. I want to run my first 100km race next summer. Can I just add a couple of minutes/mile to my marathon pace? Also, how far should my longest training run be leading up to the 100km race?
Hey Coach, great vid's you have here, a real treasure trove on tips and advice! Many thanks for the help! I have a question, my trail shoe for the past couple of years has been the speed goat, but I'm finding that for me. the toe box is just not wide enough. My Road shoe, Bondi6, works very well for me, so My question is, which trail shoe has the same grip as at the speed goat will give me the same room as the Bondi6? Thanks Coach!
Perfect timing on the video, Sage! I'm currently training for a Bday Miles adventure trail run of (gulp) 33 miles, which will be my first ultra-distance run. I have just under 2 months left, and I felt great on my long run of 14.6 miles last Saturday. What do you think would be a reasonable peak long run distance before the actual 33 miler? The training plan I'm loosely following (from Trail Runner Mag) has me working up to 25 miles, but I wonder if that's a little short? Interested in your thoughts, maybe this isn't the most important element of training to consider and, for example, consistency is key here...
Hey Sage, in your opinion does pronation slow you down or is it simply a protection mechanism and has no effect on how fast you get? Wondering if I need to fix it or not
When running 40-50 miles a week how would you spread that out over 7 days? Like is it running every day or longer runs every other day or even shorter ones twice a day or does it not matter
so its starting to turn into summer which means its really hot, and these past couple days i was running and my body just wants to shut down because im constantly getting beat down by the heat and the sun, so i was just wondering if theres any way to fix that because it is definitely demotivating me to run and i want to have fun so i can do great for cross country.
I'd recommend most teenagers wait until they are done growing a lot....so over 18 for both the marathoning ultras. I'd imagine a lot of kids 16 and under even, could do an ultra, but back at that age I was mainly running cross country and track up to 5km in distance races. I guess I did do a half marathon at age 16, but generally it is better to be patient at bit in "moving up in distance". Also it helps to have more "life time mileage " and consistent running mileage under your belt before you do a marathon or ultra.
Ugh...I actually shuddered when you said an ultra on a treadmill. Lol What attracts me to ultra running is getting out on the trails. (I've been a hiker for years. ) I'm going to try to build up from my 11 mile mountain race in Sept (hopefully not canceled) to a 50k next fall. And ignore the hair haters- it's your great advice I watch for, not your hair style! Lol
Good work, some day you might catch up to that Seth guy on youtube that beat your records, what an absolute superstar. This still looks bit like 2005ish.
I’m running 60 miles a week, with a 15 mile long run, and 2 interval workouts per week. I run 7 days a week, what do you expect I will run in the 5k when I peak in October?
Ricardo Trigo I did research, and I gradually built up my distance, and I take my easy days very easy. I feel good everyday, and stretch very well. I think I’m good to run daily
"I remember my first time" hahah, you got me on that one.

Perfect vid for today. First 50K coming up tomorrow! Thanks for all the tips & tricks Sage
Where is this 50k and how many people are they letting compete?

How much did you run?

The picture of you and Sandi is awesome 👍😍

Yay!!!! I have been tirelessly searching for your videos. Today's a good day! Instantly subscribed.
As always, more useful advice per minute than any other channel out there. Thanks Sage!
Broooooooo..... I love this channel!! Thanks for all you do for us!!!

Finding the perfect ultra shoe takes a lot of research. I love my Hoka One One Challenger ATR 5s.
Nice video. I'm thinking of moving on from road marathons to off-road and the info on equipment was particularly helpful

Plug for the BQ marathon plan Sage and Sandy have!!! Tough so be ready but will get you there!!!!!
A handheld also costs more energy to haul along. A vest keeps the weight of your fluid close to your center of mass.... I heard that from a researcher on The Science of Ultra podcast... A great podcast.
COOL STUFF Thanks Sage!
so happy to come on and see this video thanks so much Sage
Congratulations!
Nice tips and footage in between. Thanks Sage!
I'm signed up for my first 50 mile in November, and it's through the Ozark Mountains with a 14 hour cutoff. I think it's gonna be close.
You got this! 👍
good luck Arlen, my first is in October along the Wicklow way here in Ireland
Transictioning from marathon...I'll be doing 80km Wicklow eco trail in September...thanks for advices
Good video, I remember for my first ultra I transition from 10k's to 53k. I definitely think ultra's are great fun if you enjoy running.
I'm looking at making the same sort of jump. How long did you train before that 53K?
@@Blacksunshine636 a year. In that time I increased my mileage from around 40 miles to around 70 with highest being around 80.
Two of my races - Miner's Lady 8-Hour (July) and JFK 50-miler (November) haven't been canceled yet. Keeping the motivation to do the training is hard though.
Cool thank you!!!! I’m a newbie ultra training marathon runner !
I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing!
I run mid distance why am I here still a banging vid tho :)
Same yo....
Thanks Sage!
Looking for a vid like this, cheers!
In the future I definitely going to try ultra thanks for the tips! I will save this video for the future haha
Was NOT prepared for that intro hahaha

When tom cruise join to ultra marathon and giving advice in youtube
Training for my first 100km called the Fox Tail 100 in AUG however I THINK IT WILL BE CANCELLED. I'm going to run the distance anyway :)
My first marathon was cancelled, I continued training and ran a sub 4 hr 🏃😉
Rongo mā Tāne - God of Cultivation Same did a sub 3 no looking to do the same fox trail 100. Its like a hamster wheel I did one now I need to do more
thank you sir
Yo great vid. I’d hate doing an ultra through terrain like your new hair style! Haha. Love your channel
Does Hoka make any blue suede shoes there Sage Presley? Your quarantine do has got me all shook up. ;)
are there rules for helpers? ... can a runner have their own water/food stop helpers?
Could you make a video about why aren't there more Kenyans running ultras?
Not enough Money to be made

Around what age do most people start moving to ultras from the marathon
I'd recommend most teenagers wait until they are done growing a lot....so over 18 for both the marathoning ultras.

So that camelbak version takes the hard bottles in the front pouches ? ,
Thankyou
actually no, you want to use the soft flasks for that

I’m running 60 miles a week, with a 15 mile long run, and 2 interval workouts per week. I run 7 days a week, what do you expect I will run in the 5k when I peak in October?
You need to rest
If you want to progress you need to rest at least one day. Dont over training
Ricardo Trigo I did research, and I gradually built up my distance, and I take my easy days very easy. I feel good everyday, and stretch very well. I think I’m good to run daily
Tom Petty FTW!
1 marathon = 2 x half marathon
1 ultra = 2 x marathon
Sad but true... 🤔
50k is fun run....
You wanna practice trail running, move to West Yorkshire, UK, where I am, aint no such thing as flat ha
Try North Yorkshire where I am!
@@Youiptrhgbv HAHA fair play!
Make sure to get your meth to pace ratio right, otherwise you're gonna break every record and be investigated
I hear some aid stations have alcohol 😂
LOL! There is nothing like boozing up during a run! LOL!
Ultras are way to far for me man...
1st
Yay!!
You need a haircut bad.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your passion!
