Thanks for the video mate. I spotted my wife a couple of times. She ran near you for a while. Your video showed me a bit of what she went through. Thanks again
Great run and so close to finishing. Please give it another go next year I do like my annual dose of the Samira 100. It’s such a tough race but with right training I am sure you can do it!
So close, John! Fantastic effort. You absolutely should nail down a 100k finish next year. Were those salt tabs right before salted watermelon? That would have wrecked me. Hey, what a lovely woman at 17 min. Thanks for sharing! Great vid as always. Interested to see what version of Hokas - if any - that you wind up in.
Thanks Cole! Yes, salt tabs, electrolytes - the brand is Saltstick Caps, do you know them? I was trying to reduce my intake of sugary sports drinks, which after a while tends to upset my stomach. I think they also help reduce muscle cramps. I was actually going to ask you about the Hokas. I was thinking the Clifton 5.
@@Jaqaroo With regard to salt, I've moved away from tabs. I hydrate with the one of the "superfood" berry flavor powders I drink every day, then only eat peanut butter Clif bars and vanilla energy gels for the rest of my calories. I rarely race, though. I spread my minimum 80 miles/week out evenly. My 2 cents isn't worth much because I only do 50k max. at a time, which you can do on a baloney sandwich, really. As for Hokas, you have many more options because you're lighter and faster than me. My go-to shoes are the Bondi 4 and Bondi 6. I stockpiled a bunch of Bondi 4, but then love the lighter mesh uppers of the 6. They're probably way too mushy for you. I have two pair of the Clifton 4, which I really like (the Clifton 1 was over-rated, IMO, and the 2 was narrow for me). They're lighter than the Bondi, and have better grip on easy trails. They changed the rocker for the Clifton 5 - some people love it, while others are "meh". My favorite knock around shoes, though, are the Clayton 2. But I'm too heavy on my feet, and only wear them for interval work - and for my everyday job (photographing sports, where I pretty much run up and down the sidelines). My wife tells me my Claytons are the only Hokas that don't appear to be medical prescription shoes, LOL. My trail shoes are the Challenger ATR 2, but they're a pain in the butt because I have to use the heel lockdown holes. Jeez, I'm like a freaking Kardashian with my two dozen pairs of shoes ... Bottom line: def try on the Cliftons, but they're going to weigh more than you're used to. They are a plush ride, for sure, but there's a bit of a price to pay for all that softness. I'm sure you know the Ginger Runner is the review guru and always spot-on. Good luck and happy Hoka hunting!
Hi Cole, thanks for the information. So, yesterday I went to the sports shop intending to try on, and if they felt right, get me a pair of the Clifton 5s. But they didn't have my size. So I tried the 6's, they felt great, so I got them. Haven't actually run in them yet, just waiting for a break in the rain. The Bondis look...big, medical devices...LOL. I should probably have a few pairs in rotation, but I don't. I buy a new pair, wear them until they are starting to wear down a bit and then buy some more.
@@Jaqaroo Hey, happy the Cliftons feel right for you. I'm not too proud to grab store returns of like-new Hokas off eBay (you can tell from the marked outsole). Lemme guess: orange and black or the snazzy red ... I'm gonna say you bought the red pair. BTW, I get 600+ road miles on Cliftons and Bondis. Run fast! F the rainy season!
That was so close! Thanks for your awesome video logs that inspired me to give it a try. Was great to meet you in person and really hope you come back and finally close off that final 10k!
Thanks for the video mate.

Thanks again
Thanks Bruno. I hope your wife had a good race.
@@Jaqaroo She finished the 100ks!
However, she was 1 minute and 30 seconds too late for the medal. can you believe that?
Nooooooo! Oh that's hard, that's disappointing. But she had the satisfaction of running and finishing 100k, and you can't take that away.
2025 is your year John come on!!! Gambatte
You know, I have been seriously thinking about trying again in 2025. Your kind comment might just push me into action...!
นักวิ่งเจ้าของคลิปอายุมากแล้ววิ่งได้80 กว่าก.ม.ถือว่าสุดยอดมีหมอเมย์นักวิ่งชาวไทยมาซิ่งด้วย เยี่ยมครับ ถ้าอายุมากขนาดเจ้าของคลิปนั้นผมก็ไม่รู้ว่าตัวเองจะไปได้แค่ไหน ขอบคุณเจ้าของคลิป ครับ.
ขอบคุณมาก
Don’t stop now that you made it so close! I truly believe in you John!
Max, thank you so much! If I get another chance to do the 100k next year I will prepare and train harder.
Great run and so close to finishing. Please give it another go next year I do like my annual dose of the Samira 100. It’s such a tough race but with right training I am sure you can do it!
Thanks! If I can get into the 100k next year (not guaranteed...) I will definitely give it another go. Next time more training, more milage...

So proud of you John!
Fantastic video, you also certainly met lots of nice people along the way!
Pretty sure you'll be a 100k finisher next year!
Thanks Dani!
I nearly collapsed just watching you cross the 50km mark! Just amazing John...
Good luck next year 😈
Thanks Marie.
54km地点で荷物をあげた人です！
来年は完走頑張ってください！
ありがとう！
来年こそは完走します！！
Cheer up, How effort of your, a long time ago. For me you won many of the medal already, thank for inspiration with great video
Thanks! The important thing is keep trying.
I'll be back next year.
What an effort, at least you know what you have to do to finish, the 50k is too easy for you so you know what to do next time! Super vid 👍
Thanks! You're right, I do know what I have to do to finish. So, tomorrow, the slow build up to June 2020 begins... LOL
John, you get a metal🏅 in my book for just attempting a 100k.
You should not beat yourself up, you did do 88k which is fantastic!
Congratulations 🤗
Thanks! Very kind.
I'm satisfied I went so far.
残念でしたね！後10km程でしたのに，42.195km過ぎで諦めずにゴールしょうと声を掛けたのに 私も3年続けて80kmに到達できませんでした。来年こそは完走しょうゼ！
Thanks!
応援ありがとうございました
来年こそは、二人ともゴールできるように頑張りましょう！
nice try
It will be a challenge next year
I was running norikura tenku marathon
Thanks! Hope you had a god marathon. I will challenge it again next year.
惜しいですね。
ワッカまで行ったらやっぱり完走したいですよね。
Thanks
来年こそは完走します!!
I would recommend to eat much more on CPs and in between. Not two tomatoes, but four-six. You can go back and pick up more
Yes, you are right! Eating is so important, but it gets harder to eat the further I run... I did eat some gels.
That was so close! Thanks for your awesome video logs that inspired me to give it a try. Was great to meet you in person and really hope you come back and finally close off that final 10k!
Thanks and great to meet you too!
I'll be back...
