Where do you live?? That place makes where I live in Colorado USA look bland. It's beautiful.

Great video! Just signed up to run the full this spring

Great video Chris! I am going to run the race in 2025:) What camera did you use for the fiming? Thanks!

Thanks for video. It was great

This guy speaks my running language. Thank you!

Cool video! How about water in your soft-flasks? Is not freezing?

this model of asics it is a disaster.And i am super fun of asics.Why they try to copy hoka and salomon?This is size everest failure.

I started trail running this year. 6.8 miles is the longest I've run on technical trails so far. I use minimalist running shoes. Only because I have weak ankles.

Hey Chris great video! if you're interested you should check out the one I did as well I think you'll get a kick out of it-let me know what you think!

Had them for two weeks and already clocked 100 k in it,love it.ive got a wide foot and it accommodates well…it will be my choice for next week giant causeway ultra…

😂

Nice. Would you happen to know if there beginner to intermediate trail running events (10 to 30k) not too far from linz? Ill be doing a fellowship in linz next year around jan to march so would like to experience the outdoors. I guess it has to be around march though based on your season. Thanks

I was given a pair for review here at UTMB 2024. Just noticed your review. Ha, we see eye to eye (but didn’t have any heel slippage with my lacing method)! This is the review I posted on Strava: Nike gave me the Zagama v2’s to test on this run: The great; 1) Good lockdown with the laces and well cushioned tongue. 2) The built in gaitors worked well and kept out all debris. 3) Great ride, excellent suspension/cushioning! 4) I went up .5 of a size. Toe box was wide and high enough for ultra distance. 5) Grip was fine, not one slip on technical trails. However there were no wet zones on the trail. 6) Stack height is perfect for me. Facilitates great cushioning but still solid ground feel. Any higher I would be concerned about stability and increased risk of ankle roll. Slight negatives; 1) Weight, not the lightest trail shoe but to be fair didn’t notice extra weight probably because of the excellent cushioning. 2) Did one hard rock stub and the rock guard protection was solid. The front of the shoe could do with a little more protection ie widen the rock guard. This would give me more confidence executing side to side running down narrow gullies and in other situations when the probability of striking rocks with the front sides of the shoes is increased.

I am like you and a size 12 in my other shoes. In these, I found the 12 slightly too small in the toe box. Unfortunately there are no half sizes after size 12 so I had to get a 13. These then felt too loose. A real shame as the shoe is otherwise awesome

A fantastic video ! Dad.

Starke Leistung! Gratulation! Danke fürs mitnehmen :) Sind das die Trabuco? Wie gings dir mit denen? Ich bin mit Trabuco max 3 relativ unzufrieden...beim Matsch unbrauchbar und werden ziemlich schnell zur Fußsauna...nach ca.300km sind meine schon ziemlich deformiert...nach innen plattgetreten. Da ich ziemlich hohe und breite Füße hab...ist es etwas schwieriger etwas passendes zu finden

Great video Chris, and congratulations again on the race! Looked stunning and that it had everything including the snow to slide down! Everything except a monsoon like in Salzburg! Glad you had a good result! 👏

❤

Mega Chris! Tolles Video! Glückwunsch zu der Leistung!❤🎉

Super ! Sehr starke Leistung und trocken bist du auch geblieben.

Tolle Leistung. Gratulation! Wirklich cooles Video, danke fürs Mitnehmen. Macht auf jeden Fall Lust auf lange Strecken!

First of all great to see you running again. This was by far a very challenging race. Great effort Dude. Love the footage. Beautiful mountains and stunning views slipping and sliding all over the snowfields… that was fun. Hope you enjoyed your well earned After-Race beer ;-) Keep on….

Hi Chris how long does it take to hike up to top me and bf going to Salzburg in September he not keen on cable car thanks

Hi. I’ll be in Austria in a few weeks for work. Can you recommend any trail running groups or tours?

Where do you park overnight when doing this hike?

Yeah and yah

Thanks for tips ,doing my second trail today 8k but i have learned new things here🤗 good day sir

how about wearing this one for 50k-70k ? can i have an advise, im using Altra Olympus 5 for more than 600km including 3 70k race and now looking for something new

You say about heel slippage but you haven’t laced them with the runners loop which stops this

hi buddy, i m wondering if i should for this or hoka mafate any idea ? Im coming from saucony xodus ultra i like them, but i want to change brand just to try something new ! :)

Thanks for the tips 😊

I know it must have been tough to being close to the finish but still far. It happened to me not long ago with a shorter distance (42km 2800+) when I had only left 10k to go but I had to pull the plug. Weather was very hot that day, wish I had some rain hehe. Hope the recovery went well and go back to your regular training. Sure next year you will redeem yourself. Cheers!

Took me about 14h and change to finish the race and I don’t understand how can you say that it was really good job from organizers, it’s beyond me. Absolutely zero preparation for the weather, non of the aid stations had shelter, place to worm up or anything like that. I found a shelter at the 3rd aid station in some farmers garage and layered up, probably this move saved me. I saw people quitting and still had to wait outside in the rain for the buses for few hours. There was only one place in the second aid station to fill up the water ONE tap and probably 100 runners. St Gilet had no place to sit even :D. Lots of people take ultra running as a hype that was clear, vast majority was underprepared.

That was a tough day. That freezing side wind in the mountain uphill almost killed all. Almost 70 DNFs in the next checkpoint says everything. You did great with 88km, I screwed it in km 50. Salzburg 2025, the revenge 👊🏼

Hey Chris. Thanks for the effort. Looking forward to seeing you finish in 2025

10:48 when you say it wasnt much, i think you totally missed the hardest part. It was not going up, but coming down from Koppl. Not sure you would have seen it anyway because they rerouted part of the race, but coming down from there... you had to cross some rivers coming down on tree roots, there was so much water... ankles were twisting left and right 😅

Great video Chris, conditions where really hard. You have my Respect reaching so far on those muddy trails and the horrible weather

Hey. I finished the Mozart100 and it was the hardest race I've ever finished! I also felt cold and it takes me 5 - 10 minutes after every aid station to feel warm again. All the best, I hope you feel well again, Hannes

Great video Chris! It made me relive the whole day 😅 Also sad about the DNF after 85 km, but we will go for revenge next year 😉🤞👍

Das Wetter war richtig mies, die Strecke matschig, rutschig und schwer zu laufen. Das fordert den Körper mehr als gut ist, dazu die Unterkühlung. Du hast auf deinen Körper gehört und so war es die beste Entscheidung. Es gibt noch viele Rennen in der Zukunft. Ein DNF ist keine Schande!

Great video again Chris, sorry to see the DNF, but as a first time Mozart Light runner this year, even on our bit of the course the mud and conditions were unbelievable, downhills were so difficult, and it was a long time to be out in those weather conditions. - good to see you in good spirits at the end a few days later, despite the DNF thats an amazing distance on that terrain - maybe see you there next year as well!

Very well done Chris! A tough, tough day this year. Lessons learnt that will help us all in the future. Keep the videos coming and all the best ..Cheers 👍😃

Respect for the effort! I made it to 32km where i missed the cutoff, due to underestimating the mud. I was freezing my butt off too. It looks like you could have profiteered from warmer clothes right off the start! I know i needed more insulation and rainprotection definetely. Anyways, see you there next year!

Btw, have you considered resoling shoes? Some people have them resoled with a vibram zegama before they even break them in. Resoling can be a diy project for people with a belt sander (<30euros). If you have them done professionally, you're looking at <70eu. That should give 300km+ extra, with a superior outsole to begin with. So roughly 50% more shoelife, which pays off for a shoe that costs 160eu. The vibram zegama should perform a lot better over the whole life of the shoe too, with barely any wear until the end.

If this has too much stack height for you, you might love the torrents?! They are my all-time favourite shoes. The toebox is pretty roomy, so you can easily add an insole for added cushioning.

Amazing video, will be trekking from La Spezia to Levanto soon and this was great for our preparation 🤩

Herzliche Gratulation zu 1500 Abonnenten! Der Mozart 100 war in diesem Jahr leider mehr eine Schlammschlacht als ein Trailrun.

Hi, Chris, what about salt. Did you ever had some troubles with your wades? Then some salt should help. Do you have some tips about consuming salt tablets during a race? Thank you in advance. 😀

Do you recommend Underberg or Schafberg? At least the view from Schafberg looks better?

You should try The "Columbia escape thrive endure" 👍
