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"!

Thank you so much Jamil for bringing this awesome content, really love it and so stoked for your time back at the Barkley!!!!

[@jojonounours44]

Gary robbins, jamil coury and karel sabbe will be 2020 finishers for me. You will do it, good luck from france guys !

[@harrylthompson]

has karel confirmed he's entering?

[@jojonounours44]

@@harrylthompson Hello Harry. With the Covid-19, USA borders are closed for US (europeans people), karel sabbe is from Belgium so if he is already in USA, it can be OK but if he is in europe, he can't travel for the barkley. The situation getting worse everyday and i don't think it will be ok in few weeks, too many people died here, it's too dangerous. I hope the race will be fun for the barkley runners.

[@mattthreestarssometimes3754]

Karel can’t go he posted on Instagram

[@jojonounours44]

Ok the race is cancelled, my pronostic will be ok for 2021 i hope !

[@michaellerner3764]

How do you train for the lack of sleep? That seems to be a huge obstacle for you warriors!

[@federicotarabella440]

Super fun watching these Boot camp movies. Thank you for sharing an look forward to watch you

[@rallyrobb943]

Finishing a single loop of the Barkley is beast for anyone to say they've accomplished...And then there's you marvels of the marathon!

[@Extolguitarest]

If we could somehow combine Jamil's long, flowing man-mane with Gary's full-blown bush- beard, it would be the ultimate in mountain-main facial aesthetics!

[@willdraxler9161]

We can! It's a bit sloppy but I photoshopped Gary's beard on Jamil. Enjoy! imgur.com/a/8HPo1Io

[@kalemaguire7612]

Will Draxler That is beautiful

[@Muehlefenzl]

@@willdraxler9161 It's Anton!!

[@Extolguitarest]

@@Taylorfuckinrice haha, you're right. Anton's beard is pedestrian compared to Gary's though.

[@Extolguitarest]

@@willdraxler9161 haha, that is so epic!

[@dorsza6879]

Great series; looking forward to Barkley!

[@jaypow_]

great way to finish guys! both all the best for the Barkley

[@steveilg6134]

"The most powerful weapon any athlete can bring to a Start Line is confidence born from training." - wrote that in my first book (THE OUTDOOR ATHLETE/1985) and it feels like this Barkley training camp has stored a lot of confidence for you finishing that mofo! Get it! 10,000 waves of gratitude for taking us along! head bowed,

[@addisonfinley7746]

Thanks so much for sharing your Barkley training adventure with us! Would love to see you both added to the list of finishers this year. You both have worked so hard for this! 👊

[@TrailRunningWales]

It's awesome seeing what it's like out there. Good luck both of you

[@pikusczuczi6898]

Totally agree, especially that Laz doesn't allow any cameras out on a course so huge thank you to both of you guys for letting us know what it's like out there

[@bonomonkey]

I would love to see a video of you going to the terrain in spring! Would be nice to see the forest in green :)

[@ricksticksgaming]

Mission Accomplished. Great stuff Jamil and Co. :)

[@beeclimbing9954]

Best wishes for this year guys! Jamil & Gary, hope this is THE year!!!!

[@chotsky]

Love your music choice!

[@bryanmcdermott4204]

Agreed. If anyone knows what was used from ~2:00-7:00 please post it below.

[@Elarrion]

Love the footage, Jamil! You’re going to do great this year! Good luck!

[@TexasCountryLiving]

This is your year. Both you and Gary.

[@pikusczuczi6898]

I've been following you guys for a while so I understand the struggle you guys went through at the Barkley over the last few years. Just wanted to wish you guys good luck and I'm rooting for both of you dudes 😊

[@Ray.J]

Lived in St. Louis my whole life and we have a saying. If you don't like the weather, just wait 15 minutes. Tennessee isn't much different. I am so looking forward to following this year's Barkley. Good luck to the both of you and all of the "victims"!

[@eddieg1386]

I legit LOL'd so audibly at work when JamJam pulled off 7 layers of clothing 3 minutes in. Thanks for that laugh, much needed :)

[@davidshort7499]

Awesome! You will all do great

[@paulsparkes5741]

Your gonna suffer but enjoy and overcome 💪💪💪

[@lupus2252]

Good luck, guys!

[@cvn6555]

Good luck this year.

[@legitlee8359]

Loved these set of videos. And Jam I tried out my ultra pros again but I re-laced then to give me more room,I crushed a 17 miler in them yesterday,it's a real life love story haha

[@rtaupin_]

Once again loved your video Jamil ! Each time I see Gary on your footage, I have the weird impression that he's made of 50-60% shoulders :D

[@PaDutchRunner]

Nan, Gary is moving very well!

[@kennethward9530]

Is it just me, or does look like the pace picked up a little once Gary Robbins arrived versus boot camp day 1 & 2?

[@legitlee8359]

I thought that too. When a couple of savages add another savage to the list it's only going to get more intense. It's priceless training for them

[@somethingvegan]

Thanks so much for sharing!!

[@jessemoore312]

All the best guys!

[@jimduyck]

I’m with Jamil. Nobody likes cold hands. 😃

[@merkin22]

Go strong, you guys!

[@LadyoAbigail]

Sweet! I've been enjoying your work. Particularly how you focus on the trails & not the personalities. Not that i haven't enjoyed your. You seem lovely. Take care ~Abby

[@islandborn6752]

Footage of you standing in the snow looks sick

[@benmitchell1185]

Hey Jam, firstly I love ya work, very inspirational channel 👏 Gary and yourself are elite athletes in your sport and you can both run the distance and the terrain of the Barkley quite easily, your past videos have shown this. For the Barkley it seems to be the conditions combined with sleep deprivation that effects runners decision making abilities and the inability to make good decisions whilst under severe distress which ends their Barkley dreams. My question is, have you ever planned Barkley training that exposes you to the worst conditions whilst suffering severe sleep deprivation? These practice boot camps seem to easy for the Barkley challenge. Is there any way to totally exhaust yourself before you kickoff on your training loops (Marathon road run to the gate??? Stay up for 24hrs and then run??) and try and work through a bout of severe sleep deprivation and train your brain to make the right choices when totally drained, wether that be navigation choices or determination to continue. I am really interested in your answer partly for the science aspect, partly for the human desire to succeed. Of course I have no real experience compared to what you legends have achieved, it is just an observation from my side of the computer screen. Once again love the channel, massively inspirational, keep up the good work. Ben 🇦🇺

[@JoelWalters]

Crossing my fingers for you guys at Barkley. Nice training block!

[@tonyblunsum2547]

Good luck lads

[@davidhatton8775]

What sort of nutrition do you take with you on these sort of days training?

[@pikusczuczi6898]

I'd like to know as well

[@Subo23]

Awesome content. Kick ass guys

[@campingalan]

Awesome training, Jamil. Thank you for sharing that with us. Great to see your buddies out there with you too!Is it the existing trail network in the park that you are allowed to visit prior to the race?

[@Charlesdylonbrown]

Nice brother, Im pulling for you! #number16

[@DanSpeicherPhotographer]

Looks like a crazy few days of fun! What are you using to filter water while on the run? XA filter, carrying a water bladder, or just sipping water? Ive found the Sawyer mini is just to slow for long runs.

[@desmondyap5391]

i am hoping you guys would be barkley #16 #17 #18

[@sumobo7108]

What camera and audio equipment you use?

[@bipmix]

another great bunch of videos, Jamil! good luck when u race!

[@petergrant9259]

I got an idea for a great video... get all these great runners together and make a race out of the AT.. the Appalachian trail. Start in Georgia, and see who reaches Katahtin first in Maine. Then next year the PCT, followed by the CD. It would be classic !

[@PikeSlayer69]

Theres a video on yourube about a guy who did the pct than the App FKTs

[@PikeSlayer69]

Then the barkley Too its pretty good idk what its called

[@adriennenixon9520]

No Andy in this one 😥

[@Bevsec]

What are the dates for the Barkley this year?

[@benona123]

What shoes did Gary wear on day 4? Sense Ride 3?

[@jeremyquiros5483]

So what's the status of the Barkley this year with the travel ban now?

[@runsteepgethigh]

Obviously European entrants will unfortunately not be able to attend.

[@derekpugh5457]

Can anyone tell me what the style of running cap Gary has on is called please ? The one you can put the peak up on ? Thank you ...love this style

[@Tanneenkrss]

Derek Pugh cycling cap

[@derekpugh5457]

G Fortier thanks, they should make running caps in that style too

[@zachtutor7998]

What song are you using in this video???

[@nataliewashburncruz1779]

ELFL - Eyes To See It

[@hoospoodles]

epic

[@alexknapp8910]

16th finisher will always belong to Gary

[@nicholassheldon8638]

I've been a runner my whole life but have recently been getting more interested in this type of trail running and need a vest. Which should I get? Looking at the Salomon active skin 8 and the UD mountain vest 4

[@wallysworkin823]

The only thing that would make that better is Guillaume being there.

[@runsteepgethigh]

Agreed

[@nretherford1]

The music reminds me of the Mannequin soundtrack.....anyone else??

[@theultratourist3506]

great video, everything looks like the Blair Witch Project , should be called the Barkley Witch Project.
