100-mile Race, 13000ft Elevation, 30-hour Cut-off | Pt 1

[@runningchannel]

Watch part 2 here kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4axq5qQn6tniJo

[@robdevine4361]

I need a 30 hour audio book where Allie just talks about random running things. You can play it when you are in a long race and don’t have any other runners around you.

[@alan_oz]

I'd buy that :)

[@Tamieca.M]

That would be pretty awesome.

[@runningchannel]

We'd deffo give that a listen!

[@mcm4point2o]

virtual pacing app--- design it man,, send it to the nerds.. make some moneys! (and u'll provide an awesome service to runners)

[@MJoffmypickle]

I've been eating crisps like an ultra runner for years. Little did I know I was in training

[@runningchannel]

😂😂😂 Spot on, Martin!

[@kevinlance1813]

Loved every second of this one. What a lovely place to suffer so badly. I'm sitting here wishing I had fallen in love with running at 30 instead of 50.

[@SimonBerry]

So looking forward to part two, I love this woman and her attitude to running.

[@lanismith1463]

LOVE Allie’s honest commentary! I’m both scared to try anything farther than 26 and yet inspired to maybe give it a go.

[@runningchannel]

You can do it! If you need more inspiration or support, check out our playlist on ultra marathon training: kzbin.info/aero/PLD1LJvOjHmtel6-PW53w7SLpnrE7W1OxC

[@benm9901]

Go for it! Go run a 50k! That's not much longer than a marathon but also considered a ultra

[@Kelly_Ben]

If you can do a marathon, you can ABSOLUTELY run an ultra! More walking/eating breaks balances out the extra miles. You'll love it!

[@graemebrand4740]

The slippery slope of running: parkrun - 10k - HM - M - UM

[@shreyosibanerjee4906]

I'm merely on the second 😭😩

[@hairyairey]

My 4th London Marathon place was confirmed this morning

[@larslaird]

I did mine in the wrong order! 10K HM Parkrun UM --- not done M.

[@timbrennan6766]

Can't wait for for part 2...looks like when it get's dark...it get's DARK :)

[@hairyairey]

Not true - between roughly mid-May and nearly the end of July it does not get dark AT ALL in the UK. It is twilight all night. Same applies to Canada. From memory anywhere north of Dijon.

[@timmy111]

I love the episodes with Allie! The running channel has so many people with great talent. I love all the info you provide but I keep coming back because the people are so entertaining.

[@runningchannel]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@michaelgoode9555]

Lorna is a saint and a true friend.

[@trishthorne9044]

Yay it’s Allie! Making a daunting distance look like a breeze….goals!

[@Tara_Masika]

I saw this and thought "YES it's that lovely crazy person" 🤪 ❤👍

[@runningchannel]

That's one way of describing Allie! Hope you enjoyed the video, Tara 😊

[@Tara_Masika]

@@runningchannel "Parkrun is a gateway drug"..... Amen to that! 😂

[@Hearsonpearson]

Thank you Allie for another great video. A brilliant insight into Ultra running.

[@runningchannel]

Thanks for watching Ken!

[@marierunsultra]

I love watching videos with Allie in. I love that she’s just real about it all lol. I want to do my first ultra next year and she makes me think us none pros can do it too :)

[@gabriellebullinga5377]

Oh yay, I was hoping we'd see some more of Allie, her singing is amazing! Can't wait for part 2 :D

[@runningchannel]

Thanks for watching Gabrielle 🏃‍♀️🎵😊

[@nicktrueman]

This is just brilliant! Perfect morning after viewing after running my first ultra yesterday 😁 I scored quite well on ultra bingo... Looking forward to part 2, warts and all. The honesty is what makes videos like this so great 👍

[@runningchannel]

Thanks for watching Nick!

[@Kelly_Ben]

Congratulations!!

[@BananeeSplt]

This is so motivational Allie!! Makes me want to pick up running as I was slacking for a lil while..

[@LouiseN12]

Glad to see more Allie content...she is awesome 👌 !! Particularly enjoying this one as have walked (I am an Ultra walker but my running has never gone beyond a half...so far...) most of the SDW at some point or another so some very familiar sights and amazing views (we just won't mention the flinty paths of doom😬)!!

[@AO-wg3pt]

Ooo I want to run an ultra just to see everything on the ultra bingo list! What a beautiful trail

[@runningchannel]

Might be worth writing the list down as it's quite long! 😂

[@madr309]

It's not "walking" up hills - it's "power hiking". But you have to bend over, put your hand on your quads, and grimace, to really sell it. :)

[@Kelly_Ben]

🤣 😂

[@mvzinn111]

So excited to see Allie again!

[@runningchannel]

Make sure you keep an eye on our channel, as there's more to come!

[@runningchannel]

↓↓ Would you consider running 100 miles? Have you done one before? How did it feel? Have you got a question for Allie about this race? Let us know in the comments below! ↓↓

[@iberiksoderblom]

Yes, and it's awfull everytime, but so wonderful...

[@davidgiezyng4195]

I did the Western States 100 miler. Awesome experience and everyone helping at the event was amazing.

[@stuartdunn555]

Im doing my first 30 mile run in march and in nervous total respect for long distance runner's and indeed all runners

[@suepeterson379]

Love Allie’s race commentary. I am one of ‘those’ who started with park run then 10k and have just completed 1/2 marathon today 😂 I just wish we had the spectacular running trails that you have in the UK in Australia 🇦🇺

[@runningchannel]

Well done on your half marathon!

[@bravoalley228]

I am surprised. I would have thought that Australia would have its own nice trails for running.

[@AimeeandApollo]

Yes! Allie! Love her so much! Excited for part 2! Xxx

[@kathrynhilder9609]

The emotional roller-coaster of ultras. 😂 Doing a 2.2km loop for 12 hours and your crew never knows which version of you (cheery, sobbing, aggro, zombie, etc) is going to come past!

[@AnthonyConstable]

Just signed up to my first 100km. This is wonderful to watch.

[@runningchannel]

Glad you enjoyed, Anthony!

[@kildpopper]

Well this is dangerous.... I'm feeling inspired :) Am about to start googling races for next year.

[@runningchannel]

Let us know what races you end up signing up for!

[@Kelly_Ben]

That's the best motivation ever for me! Lol Dooo iiiittt!! 😆

[@OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro]

The "gateway" drugs of distance trail running at 9:20. Yep, THAT'S how it can start. 😄 It's a beautiful thing!😊🌳🏞️🏃🏾 I feel most alive when on the trails with LONG MILES ahead of me! The running-related aches and pains, are well worth it, to me! I enjoyed watching this.Thanks!👋🏃‍♀️

[@Leeroy49]

It's already insane to complete a 100 miler. Imagining Jim Walmsly doing this below half the time (30h cut-off) is crazy.

[@madr309]

Walmsley is a beast. He's on a whole different level. Like Kilian Journet - these guys are just insane.

[@meredithe4330]

love watching these before my runs ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@totriornottotri]

Heard of this after the recent pacers/crew podcast and wanted to watch! Looking forward to part 2!

[@redrunner]

I love watching this. It reminds of the 2 SDW that have done and my PB for the 100 race at SDW.

[@cac7865]

She's back - hooray! You've listened!

[@runningchannel]

Oh yes! Hope you enjoyed the new videos 😊

I've done the Lakeland 100. That's roughly 21000ft of climbing and is a jolly way to spend a few hours. This event looks fun!

[@runningchannel]

The Lakeland 100 sounds pretty gruelling, congrats for completing it!

Allie has a great personality -- really enjoyed the video!

[@bigz1296]

Bloody love Allie Bailey

[@runningchannel]

So do we! 😍🏃‍♀️

[@waynef4388]

🤣 gateway drugs. What a legend, gotta love Allie’s mentality. I’m just getting on to the hard drugs now having just finished my first 24hr race and this race doesn’t look half as stupid as it did just a few days ago. Well played Allie, you’ve planted the seed in my brain 👍

[@runningchannel]

Welcome to the Ultra Marathon Club! 😊

[@karenkillingley6946]

This has given me so much confidence to complete the Ultra Challenge Yorkshire 100k continuous, in two weeks. My first ever, with the furthest I've ever run being 25k, but I've already processed it into 8, 15k(ish) runs with rest stops. It was soooooo nice to see that it's ok to walk or Jeff as I call it. Jeff will be my friend on this adventure!

[@runningchannel]

Good luck for your ultra Karen!

[@pieter2236]

YES! More ultra running adventures! Love these! These are so inspiring!

[@jodyeverson2505]

I just loved when you talked about going from Parkrun to 10km then a 1/2 to a full then some say trails it’s exactly what happened to me.

[@littlejogger95]

I’ve gone from Parkruns to 10kms and then during quarantine reverted back to below Parkrun standard 😫 trying to get the motivation to run again, just not having it!

[@morrisonmission]

OMG, I was so entertained you were totally making me lose my Sh!@, getting ready to do my first 100M and I have the same conversations in my head during every training run (maybe a few less Fwords) but you are awsome , looking forward to part2

[@Iron_Owlz]

I was sucked into running exactly as you described and agree that it is a gateway.

[@roisindamm9151]

That bit about the gateway drug is scary! I started with parkrun early 2019, did a 10k last year, did my first half marathon last month and now all this crazy marathon and trail running doesn't look as mad as it used to....

[@runningchannel]

It's human nature to look for bigger and bigger challenges - you can do it!

[@madr309]

Don't ever watch the Golden Hour at Western States, then. Watching those guys just making the cut-off would make a dead man get up and lace on a pair of Speedgoats....

[@fatrunner]

It's so true, I did my first 5k in July 2020, did 10k the following October, HM in March 2021, got a marathon in October and have already booked onto a backyard ultra race for June next year. 😂

Great to hear!

[@cejay67]

Not a hundred miles, not yet anyway. Main race this year is the Scenic Rim Ultra, a 105km run on the Gold Coast Hinterland in Queensland. For a practice run, we are doing a local event called 3 Marathons in 3 Days this coming weekend, held in the hills behind Cairns, Far North Queensland. If I get through these, then a 100 miler is possible. Coming from the South of UK, I loved watching this, memories of such beautiful countryside

[@runningchannel]

Good luck for your events!

[@hayleygardiner2531]

I would love to be able to run that distance. I would love to run it in England. I am absolutely in love with the english countryside. I also love that it seems that the gras is so short everywhere. Is it grased by sheep? Here we have so much high gras (Germany) at the trails I have to check for ticks every few meters or else I get to anxious 😔

What is your average HR during the runs? Do you see it creep up too high going that distance?

[@Kelly_Ben]

I've been incorporating HR training, and was really surprised by my 50k 2 weeks ago... as many do, I pushed it, and was in and out of the 160's for the first 20 miles. The last 11 miles I settled into a slow jog, and my HR dropped to a steady 140! Wish I'd done that earlier, but I was glad to find there's no threshold, it's never too late to drop my HR!
