[@FilmMyRun]

Have you done CCC or any of the UTMB races? What was your experience? I loved it, but I think I can do better. I'll definitely be back.

[@marianodominguez6062]

awesome movie and congrats. Finisher CCC 2017 and MCC 2018. Will try CCC again next year

[@kennethwheeler8606]

Film My Run. Great film, You captured the whole event & atmosphere really well, happy memories apart from that dreadful diversion to le Flegere. I ran the CCC this year for the first time, longest race in distance, time and elevation, whole different ball game to what I’ve done in the past!! I had 107km on my watch too?? Great running by you to get under 24hrs👏👏

[@ibrahimeravci]

I was there and at the last starting group and I was 1 hour back bro.. My time is 25 hours and I can do it better, too.. :) Your video is really awesome, like a BBC documentary.. I show it to my family and say; here is my race and what I experienced... ;) Good job... If you feel good, there is a cool race 1 month later in Turkey cappadociaultratrail.com I'll be there... ;)

[@DavidToth-re6zw]

Its CCC 3 me nil so far, 2015 unbearable heat ground me to a halt and i was withdrawn at Annuvaz, 2016 much the same with the heat just had nothing left on the climb up Col de Ferret and had to stop ,this year i got the furthest I've ever done Trient,where i arrived 4 min before cut off and mentally crashed,im so close to a finish now i can smell it, made a few errors this year which cost me time and i can ill afforf that,learning all the time and will run into Chamonix next time,great vid mate,and well done on a fantastic finish

[@FilmMyRun]

David, I really don't do well in the heat, so I am glad it wasn't hot this year. It's always a problem because nice sunshine makes for better looking videos!!

[@Crismans843]

Best self coverage ever of UTMB!

[@TheFODRunner]

Mark Paren totally agree!!

[@yorgos1701]

i totaly agree with you

[@dudi___]

Exactly!

[@patrikbrannbacka7971]

Totalt agree!

[@serhiidanylenko3015]

Really enjoyed watching this movie! Great!

[@vim4583]

Спасибо! Хорошее видео, реально всё показывает, это не просто.

[@konrad983]

Must say that i had tears of joy watching this spectacular "documentary" about u running UTMB. Love your channel sir

[@TheFODRunner]

I got 5 minutes into this and realised it was going to be epic so put it on the tv instead!! Absolutely incredible, I take my hat off to you 🔥🔥

[@MegaMick56]

The FOD Runner I echo all these sentiments .I will never get nervous about the parkrun again.

[@MegaMick56]

PS I echo other views as good or better than expensive professional production . so scenic and clear .

[@rgonzales1657]

“They also do park runs, 5 kilometers.” Walmsley: “Wow.” Idk. That just made me laugh! Seriously, I love your channel! I miss the races this year and your vids are a soothing balm.

[@beloy200]

Man i adore your courage and the footage was excellent, i will never experience this type of indurance and persiverance of runnning ultramarathon it will be a just a dream for me, congrats to all may you have always the strenght that you need..

[@nittos49perciste2]

Amigo,, this masterpiece of a video needs to have a 100 billion views .

[@Intrepid_women]

This is outstanding. I got goosebumps watching it! This is on the big list

[@FilmMyRun]

Wow, thank you so much Millie. If you can you must get out to Chamonix and do one of the UTMB races. See you there!!

[@Intrepid_women]

@@FilmMyRun thanks Steve. It looks amazing 🤩 Three of us from Australia are entering lottery for OCC. We are hopeful. If we get in we will be dropping everything and moving heaven and earth to make the trip.

[@FilmMyRun]

@@Intrepid_women Well definitely let me know if you get in because my wife is hoping to do OCC as well. Collect as many Running Stones as you can!!!

[@chefsolidOriginal]

Just watched this after your training video, total legend dude #respect.

[@danielcassell81]

Easily the best coverage i've seen of any UTMB race

[@rgjusa]

Late to the party. Very well done. Very well filmed. And an ordinary proper runner. I get more inspiration out of watching people like you, and that are similar to me than I do watching the elites (but I love that too!). All that hard work paid off. Your honesty about underestimating it was refreshing.

[@patrikbrannbacka7971]

Having seen numereous vids of UTMB CCC this is by far the best both content, emotion and motivation. Great work on this one. Hoping for more like these, TDS was also very nicely done.

[@FilmMyRun]

Thank you so much. Very kind of you to say

[@markwalsh6714]

Brilliant video. Thankyou

[@patrickdunnegeraghty]

Have to admire the grit and determination specially towards the back end. Well done sir!

[@יהושעכץ-נ8ס]

Amazing video and adventure thanks

[@graham8854]

Yet another epic film and inspiration to get me going again after the Christmas break 👍

[@FilmMyRun]

Cheers Graham

[@craigbolton9649]

Amazing and humbling film. A fantastic achievement to not only run ccc in less than 24 hours but to make such a great film at the same time!!

[@TheGingerApe]

Absolutely superb video

[@FilmMyRun]

Thank you. Hope you'll find some others you like on the channel

[@MrBrianRoberts]

Absolutely brilliant 👌 fair play 👍

[@FilmMyRun]

Thank you

[@craigkilday]

Great video, love the 360 camera. Well done finishing the race.

[@VictorRamirezCostaRica]

Amazing video! Thank you for putting so much passion into it. I am running the Mont Blanc Marathon next summer, but I am looking to run OCC in the next 3 years.

[@williamrunner6718]

You did a fabulous job in this piece and I genuinely like you because you are so down to earth and very much like the majority of us common runners in the world. Thanks!

[@FilmMyRun]

That's very kind of you to say so, thank you.

[@amygreen1015]

WOW Stephen. You definitely pick some races. You have some super mental strength to keep going under difficult circumstances and to be out there for so long. I would be talking to myself something silly (I do anyway on teeny distances). I never realised what went in to ultra racing and how different it can be. You have achieved many great things and I know you will continue to do so. And again, just WOW!

[@FilmMyRun]

Haha thanks Amy. I think this one has become my most successful video in terms of views. It was an epic day out!!

[@jeanmarcjegou]

Bravo ! Your video is wonderful , thanks very much for your film😊

[@ryanmartin181]

This is Ryan from 26:43. This is a great video and very well produced and I have enjoyed sharing is it with friends and family. Thank you Stephen!!

[@FilmMyRun]

Hey Ryan. Good to meet you out there. I will definitely be back. Maybe bump into you again one day.

[@cyrillesauve2457]

Fantastique job

[@TJ-vi6on]

Seu filme é sensacional, inspirador. Quando estou desanimado coloco seu vídeo para passar. Sua chegada é linda. Muitos parabéns!!!

[@chriselliott3995]

Yea, well done. This film really does show the pain, hunger, desperation, and mental strength that it takes to complete this run..

[@davebennett9860]

Fantastic Video. The 'Thousand Mile Stare' at the low points during breaks, its the reason we run, to push through those moments and to celebrate what we weren't sure we could achieve. Congratulations on a fantastic race and achievement.

[@marcoparusso9504]

thanx x sharing this ...really amazing

[@stighw]

I did CCC in 2019. Barely made it trough. 25 hours. I probably opened to hard, combined with not dealing with the elevation. Not used to it. So I had a sick stomach after just 5 hours, that lasted most of the race. Throwing up really puts a damper on the joy of pushing on.. Still made it and an unbelivable feeling, to run up the finish in Chamonix. Highfiving the spectators. I hope to go back and do it better some day. Great video!

[@FilmMyRun]

Just seen this comment after 3 years!!! Have you made it back to Chamonix?

[@stighw]

@@FilmMyRun Hi :) No, I have struggled with Haglunds Deformity (spelling?) and had two surgeries on my heal. Painless now so up to about 30k a week running. BUT, it is now near impossible to qualify from Norway/Scandinavia, even though we have great UTMB runners here. I simply cant afford travelling around Europe to qualify.. And the issue with UTMB recently, which you covered very good in your video btw Also loved the 24h running coverage you did. Best Ive seen on that type of race 💪 And thanks for the reply 😀

[@newrunnerjohn]

Fabulous footage, great narration. This video has inspired me to aim for it.

[@kylenieber7380]

This is a really awesome take on UTMB. I'm so used to seeing so much race day/training footage of the pros and this was really neat to see it from this perspective. Thanks!

[@jSirBrickzAlot]

Awesome movie and congrats!

[@jayantsingh439]

Immense respect for your push at the end. Kudos for filming while running so hard. You've got great filming skills too! Love from India.

[@valliratnam7229]

Mind boggling.what a hero !

[@tinylittleanj2]

That was cool. Never watched your films before, only put it on to watch for five minutes… watched the whole thing. You are a very good story teller, and well done on your finish. That was quite an accomplishment.

[@jaumebarautbach7654]

Congratulations on the video, for your time to record it, it will serve as stimulation for my 1st CCC that I hope to finish and get a new personal challenge. My sincere congratulations, I think this video deserves all my admiration. Congratulations

[@FilmMyRun]

Thank you. Did you manage to run CCC?

[@76Aston]

After running the UTMB route last summer (not the race...we did it over 5 days), I've been hoping to find a video that truly captures not just the 'epicness' of the trail - like the arduous, technical climbs and descents that seem to go on forever - but the incredible beauty and grandeur of the Mont Blanc massif. In this video you have captured it all, and more. Without doubt, this is one of the very best running films or videos I've ever seen. Congratulations on your run, and on making this brilliant record of your experience!

[@FilmMyRun]

truly grateful for your amazing comment. Thank you. I will definitely go back again. Such a beautiful place.

[@76Aston]

I would love to go back again too. But, alas, at 62 I doubt I'll be running it ever again! I found it interesting that, despite your extreme fatigue, you managed to find the strength to finish with a flourish. Unlike racing 170 km where you get increasingly fatigued as the race goes on, I found I got stronger and stronger over the 5 days, eventually - to my surprise - pushing the uphills as hard as I could. In fact, the most fun and exhilaration over the entire TMB was the impromptu race I leapt into with another runner just 3 km from the end... At that moment, I felt 'right on the edge' of peak performance or disaster, and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way!

[@domjones4959]

Wonderful story and thank you for allowing us to share your adventure.

[@wafflebutt1]

Gr8 vid - one of the best Ultra selfie vids I’ve seen. Cheers

[@ianssight2785]

Carrying the camera and narrating the video must be little sacrifices to your overall performance. I can only thank you for this and congratulate you on completing the ccc

[@Bled00]

Oh my god, just 1 minute of watching and I got the chills!!!

[@FilmMyRun]

Hey thank you

[@Mandalaman]

awesome!! thanks for taking us along with you! its hard enough to run it without having to worry about filming.

[@mdgeorge4993]

Stephen that was heroic. And what a finish!

[@fauthadrien]

This is the best race recap I have ever seen ! Thank you so much for this. I hope I’ll do the CCC one day !

[@Anomicx]

Watched this last night with both my brothers and found it incredibly inspiring. Really pushing to enter my first 100km.

[@Thegladiator823]

Fantastic!!👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆🏅🏅🏅

[@jadangts3552]

Great work. I aspire to run ultra, need to train myself harder, watching your video was certainly inspiring. Loved the background music too. Keep up the good work 💪❤️

[@FilmMyRun]

Thank you

[@The_Great_Escapist]

Awesome coverage of CCC from a participants perspective.

[@alexcooke8387]

Too good. I ‘ran’ UTMB 2017......your video captures the essence of the UTMB festival brilliantly. Thank you.

[@FilmMyRun]

Thank you so much

[@stevejodoin9937]

That looked harsh. Still congrats. Loved the reality of it all. Thank you for doing this.

[@FilmMyRun]

It was tough. Thank you

[@somkitthompson9559]

Congratulations on your amazing success. Thank you for sharing such an epic video of your journey. This is absolutely incredible, and will inspire others. Bravo Dear Sir⭐️

[@FilmMyRun]

Thank you very much. Looking forward to getting back out there in August!

[@lachaudjl]

Félicitations! Super course ! Pour ma part ce sera en 2021 que j'y serai sur cette course. J'espère en prendre plein les yeux également ! Quels paysages !

[@gabrielapocsa9196]

Thank you for this video! I watched it while training on the stairclimber for 6 months, every week. It helped me be prepared for CCC this year. And it was indeed magical race. You helped me visualise the race before I did it.

[@Abby_walks]

Epic! I felt the butterflies in my stomach at the start line as if I was there!"

[@agnestenwolde6895]

Amazing performance! Congratulations on finishing the CCC. Epic video, i loved watching it. I hiked along a lot of those trails over the years. Great race recap!

[@alnomesamy]

That was so entertaining. Well done

[@ricardoj2344]

I'm a little late but , have to say , congratulations! For the epic race and excellent coverage. I felt really inside the race. Thanks a lot for sharing it.

[@breakheartdan]

Stephen, This is without a doubt the best trail running/ultra video I have seen...and I've watched many. The videography, the storytelling, the scenery and music were brilliant! Overcoming your fatigue and making an epic push down the final descent, passing numerous runners in the process, was inspiring. So happy to have found your channel. BTW, what is name of the instrumental played throughout the video? It would surely get me pumped in the final miles of my next ultra. Cheers!

[@lisafrancis9605]

Wow what a race. Great video. Love your honesty!

[@TeamRouxie_Gilles]

What an incredible video ! I realy did appreciate a lot your minds, the way you present yourself inside the race. It is probably one of the best video I ever watched on UTMB. When you were running to the end in Chamonix, you said "I didn't respect Mont Blanc, it was harder than I did expect"... This makes me having big emotion ! Thank you very much for this and congrats to be a finisher !

[@wallydrake3680]

Magnificent capture of the essence of endurance racing. They are fun, exhausting, exilerating, inspiring, intoxicating, sometimes all at the same time. Thank you for a boost and a reminder of patience!

[@tommosal]

Love this video, can't wait to try CCC in the next few years, thanks for filming

[@FilmMyRun]

Have you managed to run CCC yet?

[@tommosal]

@FilmMyRun not yet, but I did UTS100k last year and doing the 50k this year, so I'll have 5 stones. My grand plan for 2025 is the Arc100 and CCC or UTMB....this will all depend on how I get on at my first 100 miler this year at the Spine Challenger South race, wish me luck!

[@ianbritton7534]

This is the best coverage I have seen and great self awareness.

[@Tui4ui]

Thanks for such an honest account. Well done and thanks again for the inspiration.

[@patricecalo1821]

Super immersive video, you are strong and brave. Bravo !

[@runeatexplorer7796]

I recently got in for CCC and your film is giving me goosebumps and terrifying me at the same time. There are no mountains where I'm at...just small 100 foot hills by the river. I'll have to run those over and over and over and hope for some sort of super will power to do what you accomplished. Great job on the video and your CCC finish!

[@accobra7515]

Great video. One tough race. Well done on your effort. Thanks for sharing this :)

[@TT-xy2km]

That was an awesome video Stephen - really captured the spirit and challenge of the race from a runners perspective. Well done

[@nonorunner8136]

Great movie, thanks. And good race too. The climb to La Flegere is indeed very dispiriting, even if I only did it at the end of the OCC. I can only imagine what it is after 45 more km ...

[@FilmMyRun]

I don't mind if I know eactly how far to go, but by then my watch was already saying I'd done 100km!!

[@supmission]

Amazing watch. Make me wanna get off my paddle board and lace up my shoes and try the CCC myself sometime..!! Well done with your achievement! And for sharing this experience with the rest of us. BRAVO!
