I like the new channel name. I changed mine a while back for same reason. You will do great in 100K. I am adventure jogger and hit the ultras every month. I race against the clock only since my goal is to finish. I typically pass many people late in races during that pain cave phase since I am relaxed and not competitive. As she mentioned the pain will come but just be prepared with continued eating, chafing prep, and good attitude. The tongue is rudder of body, if you start talking like you will fail then you will since last half is mostly the mental game as you mentioned. Good luck
Super wise words Richard, I really appreciate your advice there. "The tongue is the rudder of the body" I love that! So true! :) I'm actually aiming to WALK off the start line and not get caught up with that adrenaline build up to really bank that emotion and physical energy for later on in that cave! Thanks for watching my man.
@@trailrunningphil That is a great strategy. Those words are from Chad Wright. He is a ultra runner and retired Navy seal. A great voice for the sport. Check out his recent interview on the The Bare Performance channel with Nick Bare. He talks about it. It is a great talk.
Great insights here regarding the mindset for ultra running! I am very similar to Courtney's outlook in that I see no point in trying to deny the pain of distance running! Be at peace with the pain! Great vlog Phil! Beautiful trail as well! Keep pushing my friend!
Yeah I hear you, and for a year I felt it was something that made my channel unique but then I realized I wasn't really making much content for the music so decided to niche down a little. I may create a separate channel for my music and see how that goes. Hope your fit and well and ready for your race that's around the corner! You and me both! :)
I'm with you in the reasons for running. Fast times aren't really my thing but getting out on an adventure is always good. Not long til your big race then mate!
Every runner has different reasons for why they run, it’s the simplistic reason why so many people do it. I just hope that runners like us can pull people back may have been “put off” running anymore because they aren’t running as fast as they used too. Yeah on the taper now! :)
Hi Phil, I've never been to Breckon Beacons so it's nice to be able to see it on video. I with you on this one when it comes to running. I don't care about PBs and times. I love the feeling of exercising in beautiful nature places. By the way, I should have paid for proper sports physio because my calf is still crap and I still can't run, even after all the massaging (not professional) and strengthening exercises. It's very frustrating. Hope your ultra goes smoothly. Nice to hear your thoughts during your outing.
We have all been there Olga. Googled what it could be and then dealt with it ourselves. I was lucky that I only needed a proper sports massage in the right area to fix my issue but there could be all sorts of reasons why your calf is hurting so you should really consider getting some professional advice. If your anything like me, not running must make you angry and frustrated and so consider it a good investment in your mental health as well as fixing your physical issues. Good luck with it and I hope you get to the bottom of it soon. Thanks for watching my video :)
Phil, it is a beautiful place to feel like a kid again! Some lovely views of the sky. I'd love to still hear some of your musical creations! Awesome trail run!
Great video Phil. I absolutely love running the Brecon Beacons and enjoyed you experiencing it here too. I did 2 x recce runs earlier this year, followed by an ultra in late April, and it's one of my favourites now. I had a good chuckle at your stumble coming out the river/bog - only because it happened to me many times too. I think we all run a bit of an elevated risk of injury in this landscape - it can be pretty harsh! Hope the rest of your training for TP100 goes well.
Yes I need to stay sensible now really and not run over two many lumps! Saying that, even a tree root can cause you grief right!! Thanks for watching :)
Lovely scenes. We love running in Wales but our idea of an off road adventure is running up and down the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal. Noting the splits and heart rate data as we do it 😉 We appreciate all runners and how they embrace the sport in different ways.
Running is so inclusive. Its for everyone for any reason they wish it to be. Do you have any videos of your Monmouthshire canal adventures? I would be interested in seeing those.
@@trailrunningphil sadly not as that was before our videoing days. It was the sort of canal where you could never see more than 200 yards in front due to the twists to follow the contours. I (John) liked counting the bridge numbers. There is an ultra along there which Dawn was contemplating.
Oh, a new channel name 👍Sports massages are a must to keep issues minimised, you'll need to keep them up Phil. You have the perfect outlook for running by seeking out new places, it's all an adventure 😀
Yes I think I've slipped off a few peoples radar down their sub's feed with the new name but it just felt right. Most other people in this space have the word run or runner in there so it make sense :) Thanks for taking a look!
@@RyanCondon yeah this time next week I will be approaching the first pit stop! Still haven't quite mastered the audio while running. May just film when running and chat on my walking breaks.
Epic views for sure. Courtney is my inspiration too. You covered a lot of good topics on your run Phil. The 360 camera really does great for running vlogs. Question, what mic are you using... it sounds great.
Yes and Insta 360 have just released the x3 which is even better in low light! I recently purchased the dji mic for my audio as the sound quality I thought was fairly low in windy conditions on the insta360 x2. I don't need a RX and a TX because the TX on the dji mic has its own built in recorder! It can store 15 hours of audio and you just plug it into your computer via usb and drag and drop the audio files straight in. It's super easy to sync the audio to the video in davinci afterwards using the auto sync feature. Thanks for taking the time to view the video my man. I look forward to seeing what you achieve with your new bit of kit!! :)
Nice video. Good luck with the name change. I have put up a fell running comedy if you would care to check it out. Best wishes to you from north Lancashire.
Nice new channel name Phil. Really interesting to hear how Courtney deals with the pain cave, definitely going to give that a go and try to embrace it! Brecon Beacons trails look excellent, hoping to get out to them sometime soon. Best of luck with the last few weeks of training before the race.
Last time I ran an ultra, my camera battery died on me just when I started to enter that same pain cave and so this time around, I hope with two batteries, I can document just how I deal with it as its happening!! Its all good and well saying it before the race, but the mental battle is something that I find fascinating! Thanks as ever for watching the video Ben :)
@@trailrunningphil Can definitely relate to that, I really like finding tips and nuggets to help get through the mental side of ultra running. Hope your batteries hold out so you can capture the full experience!
Hey up mi duck! Great video mate, I like the longer vid. Oh you can’t beat a bit of Rich Roll I chuffing love that guys podcasts! Need to checkout the Courtney one as I’ve mainly been listening to the radio or the one audiobook whilst working. Good to see you getting ready for the big one 😁 I love being ‘in the flow’ whilst running. Got there a few times whilst training for the London Marathon on longer runs. It such an amazing feeling, I sometimes didn’t even really realise how rare it was - maybe I just need to run more 😁 Ps I like your new channel name! you inspired me to finally change mine too 👍
Some lovely comments Ash. A great new channel name mate! Currently recovering from the race yesterday. Totally smashed me! You still up for spires and shires again next year?
@@trailrunningphil Yay! Didn’t realise it was yesterday! Hope you had a good strong day yesterday and your recovery goes well. Yes mate still up for the Shires and Spires 2023 👍 need to pull my finger out and follow your lead - inspirational stuff 👌👍
@@skinnylegsbarefootshoes Well, Im not sure about "strong" day but i made it to the end! I ran very strong for 50k and then got through the second half the best I could! I think the 50k or 50 milers are my limited to be honest. With the amount of time I can give to the training. Anything longer demands alot more time on those long runs!

Wise words from a wise runner! Thanks for taking a look Paul. Its my race tomorrow!
I like the name change! I think it's sad that one needs to only post for one niche. I understand it, though. Great trail running!

Awesome stuff Phil! Great video to wake up to. Some lovely views out there mate! Not long now until the TPC its going to be epic! 😎🤘
Thanks mate. Your continued support is always appreciated :) I honestly felt like a kid in a sweet shop on that run!!
Phil, it is a beautiful place to feel like a kid again! Some lovely views of the sky. I'd love to still hear some of your musical creations! Awesome trail run!
Thanks Gill. I will use my own music in my videos and I plan to start a separate channel for it under my producer name - Sense of Understanding.
Love the shots you got here my man!! Thanks for sharing this SUPER cool video!! 🙏 🏃♂️
Thanks Eric :)
