Thanks Kate, and you’re right, I heard stories of people going off course yesterday. Nice when you don’t have to worry about getting lost…there are enough other things to worry about 😂

Thanks for putting this together. I recce’d the first 16 miles and then back down RM and then the I checked out up/down 6 miles from Mishe Mokwa (Yerba Buena AS). But never got to the middle portion. Also, since you are planning to bomb to the finish, you actually turn off a side trail off of Ray Miller when you are just past the campground and turn back towards the campground. You don’t hit the trailhead and run back up the road. I will be significantly behind you on race day but I hope you have a great race!

Love this channel. Definitely think it's better than the 1.6K subscribers would indicate. Just one comment: I think a camera upgrade could really help you. I watch a lot of ultra-running channels and these days all the popular ones have extremely stabilised footage with amazing colours.

Thanks for the kind comment and, more importantly, for the honest feedback. Yeah this video in particular had some serious shake going on. I think i was out of practice with the video making process. I have a few more busy months with work but i will be able to put a much bigger emphasis on my FMTR channel after that. I have exciting plans that should see the improvements you have mentioned incorporated into future videos. Thanks again for watching 👍

Great video! Shame the fires caused the courses to be moved. They essentially reused the same courses as the summer Holcomb Valley trail series the race director also runs. I ran this course last June and there are some great views. It looks like though the UTMB version has much better aids stations! Hopefully they'll be able to get back to the original courses in 2025.

How does the course profile compare to somewhere like the Dublin Marathon
@filmmytrailrun 2 ай бұрын
Hmm, that’s a good question and the short answer is I really don’t remember other than the fact that neither one is all that hilly. What I will say is that Dublin has much more of a BIG city marathon feel with big crowds right along the course.

@@filmmytrailrun I'm thinking of registering for next year. 80km would definitely be too much for me but do you think the 47km race is a good introduction to an ultra? I've done a handful of road marathons (I usually finish a bit under 3h30mn) but I have no idea how I would cope on trail with incline.
@filmmytrailrun 2 ай бұрын
If you have run 3.30 marathons you are definitely able for the 47km. I’m not sure if you have been running trails already but you do need to get out in the hills because different muscles are worked. My advice would be to get out and recce the course if you have the opportunity and just go for it. You never learn as much as you do on your first ultra. All the best with it and enjoy the journey, after all, that is really the reward.

Thanks, no, kept it simple. 6-8 gels during the race with water. Then some comfortable clothes in the drop bag at the end. One tip I would give you though is: if you are arranging to meet other runners after the marathon I would recommend meeting while you’re still “inside”, maybe near the fountain somewhere. Once you go outside to the recommended meeting area it is crazy busy. Enjoy yourself, it’s a great, super well organized world major 💪🏃🏻♂️❤️

So you say...Dont do it without poles? I did it twice (succeeded once - timed out day 3 1st time around - by 5 mins) and poles wouldnt have helped me. In fact they would have hindered me. You need less weight, and less faff on CWU. But I guess - if you feel like poles would help you then go for it. But you can indeed do it without poles. the one I failed? 2021 - COVID, single tents, and brillliant sunshine in August... The one I succeeded - 2022. 8 days and the worst CWU weather on all the events history. Non stop rain, floods, high winds, high drop out rate, and I was the (one of if not the) oldest to finish at almost 62. As far as navigation - do the routes as recces. learn the key points where you can make mistakes. I recced 4,5,6,7 and I had already run day 1-3. That helped enormously. And as far as food - I loded up on days 1 and 2 with bars and gels, I collapsed with no energy end of day 2. Day 3 I completed with mild hypothermia. But I switched to sugar diet mid way (fizzy drinks, tic tacs), loaded up with soups and chips in the evening. and end of day 4 I bought a lot of sugar loaded food to sustain me through to the end. Shoes - Altra Timp 4 wide toed shoes and soft on the feet but admittedly less grip than some (no blisters - duplicate replacement shoes swapped end of day 5 - take at least 2 pairs). In 2022, with it being so wet, it didnt make a lot of difference in my opinion. Good video. But I say again - you can do the run without poles.
@filmmytrailrun 6 ай бұрын
Apologies for the slow response, I’ve been off KZbin for a little while. 2022 was the year I did it also. A wet one to be sure. Can you do CWU without poles? Absolutely, but I am so used to them now that they really add very little faff and I wouldn’t be without them in any mountainous race longer than about 50k. Sounds like you had to experiment with what food worked for you. To finish in 2022 is an added badge of honor. 270 started, 104 finished. Still one of my fondest memories. Planning to go back as a volunteer at some stage in the future. I hope your running is going well and you have more great adventures ahead 🏃🏻♂️⛰️💪
