How to Train For Your First Ultramarathon With PaddyO

[@ColinRockFight]

Yes! Put all of Paddy's shows on KZbin!

Is this from the Gospel of Interwebbing? Regardless, thanks for the love.

I can't tell you how much I love this and could not have come at a better time !! 67 year old in my first year of running, 16 years sober and I can tell you that the committee can be loud and nasty. Took a very bad fall last week in a backyard ultra on loop 2. Crashed hard coming down hill and landed on my shoulder. I just kept going and did one more loop to finish out the day at 10.13 miles. Goal is to do something more ?!! I went to the dark cave of self doubt all of this last week, lots of pain and pity...I'm too old, I'm not a runner, blah, blah, blah. Finally went on an easy run this morning and squeaked out a couple of miles. I have a race this weekend (10K). I really needed this today...thank you. Somedays just suck..and somedays don't...Keeping up the good fight.

We're rooting for you! 👏 💪

[@paddyoconnell159]

Thank you for watching and thank you for the kind words. And remember the wonderful sports idiom, which is especially true for outdoor sports: If you're not falling, you're not trying...and if you're not smiling, you're trying too hard.

Hell yeah Paddy, this is so sick. Those feels when you were telling your wife that you were thinking of them the whole time 😭

[@paddyoconnell159]

I hope you enjoyed the double stuffed emotions, my friend.

[@JeffreyWindsor-tb9de]

I was not expecting this to get so emotional for me. Dang. Way to go, PaddyO. And big thanks to Outside TV for putting this up for free.

[@OutsideWatch]

We're glad you liked it!

[@paddyoconnell159]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@RickLaCaille]

Bravo! One foot in front of the other with running & life. Gotta feeling this is not your last ultra.

[@paddyoconnell159]

I may just be dumb enough to sign up for another...or maybe not...but maybe...buuut...

[@jasonmcroy205]

You may suck at ultra running, but not film making. Really good video on several levels.

[@paddyoconnell159]

Thank you so much!

[@shawnbrennan7526]

Nice PME hat! And good advice from Brendan and Mirna too

[@paddyoconnell159]

Dude, you are a runner. Sure, you're built a little differently than most of those toothpicks out there, but damn, great work. Congrats man, way to suck at ultra running.
