    Thanks for checking out our videos. The phrase "Run Steep Get High" was coined on a training run in Silveron, Colorado one of my favorite places in the world to run. We hope to inspire you to reach for that higher peak and goal in life by living "The Steep Life"!

    Can confirm that the Blackcomb portion for the 110km racers was brutal. Sleet, heavy fog, nighttime - zero viz still in shorts 😂 I was having horrible flashbacks watching this except I couldn’t see anything the entire race so it was actually really nice to see all the views I didn’t get to see. Congrats again Jam.

Proof that a multi-year foundation and mental toughness is the key to ultras, not short term mileage. Would love to do one of Gary's shorter runs one day.
