Inspiring .. As someone who's training for their first 100 mile [ at age 58 ] this was just fantastic , Congrats

[@sgtpluck8344]

I'm 50 next year. Hadn't considered doing one until I saw this. Now I want to do it. Good Luck!

[@edscottdotblog]

This is honestly one of the best ultrarunning documentaries I've seen. It's honest and understated, cuts right to the core of the reality of the sport. Fantastic work.

[@ajspinks268]

[@gdman1969]

love it- "people that do it and love it are wrong in the head" . "he is in a little bit of ultra pain" Time for me to stop my excuses and complete a 100 miler!

[@daiwilson412]

Inspirational film Iwan! Can very much understand the emotions that you described about your lad when he was born, congrats on completing this milestone and raising awareness!! PS I was gone by the end 😭

[@PaulCoatesTrailRunning]

Wow, loved this. Great video for your cause. It was such a hot day. Even got my back in the video at 17:16 (100 Mara club top). My feet also had blisters at the end. It was such a struggle in the heat. “For those less fortunate “

[@paulcornock5435]

[@Steve-vr6mq]

What a fantastic achievement. Well done Iwan on not just completing the run but for raising awareness about Strep B. Brilliant film.

[@ianthevegantattooedultraru1113]

Well Done Iwan, Suzie, Mike and crew. Enjoyed watching this, Mike you know a DNF is always better than a DNS, you will indeed be back., Iwan you know you will be back for another 100 miler, check out the GUCR, it's a 145 Mile race and a British classic, Well Done to all involved with this film, very well produced and enjoyable to watch, Centurion events always well run and supported and a great place to meet new like minded friends on these journeys ✌🌱💚🙏🏃

[@goodcopbadcopwrestlingpodc6117]

[@martinwebb5329]

Super film. Susie gave some tough love out there and Iwan gave it everything. Congratulations on a huge achievement and sharing it with us 👏👏

[@philipsomarakis265]

Well done Iwan. Great effort!! Saw you coming into Eastbourne..... Welcome to the 100 miler club!!

[@tracyerridge4574]

Really enjoyed watching this film, very emotional but what an amazing achievement my friend and I did this was so hot, well done on raising awareness top job X

[@BlowToTheSkull]

Excellent, well done to Iwan, that looked like a really tough shift. Also, kudos for the proper ultra runner behaviour at the end: completes a 100 miler and first thing he does is take a photo of his battered feet and blisters!

[@CotswoldTrailRunner]

Amazing!! I found it just as hard. Well done! Nothing is impossible. You’re watch may have said ‘overreaching’ but you did it… x

[@mickiiegirle3067]

So inspirational, but crazy!! True warrior you are! Such an amazing achievement ❤️

[@paulshorthouse3250]

A great watch. An emotional rollercoaster seeing the highs and lows and keeping it real along the way. Congratulations, such as inspiration.

[@deandmb5201]

Just amazing to watch, I am so proud of you mate, even I cried watching this!

[@caniultrarun859]

Such an amazing video. Loved every second of it, Super inspiring and so well shot. I did my first Ultra in July albeit 75KM, it was brutal. Id love to do a longer distance and this has spurred me on! I documented it on my channel but don't quite think it had the quality of yours! Great job, cant wait to see whats next, have you got anything in mind?

[@FionaLundy]

That was amazing! So emotional and such a good cause to raise awareness for!

[@mikeseaman969]

Brilliant film and an epic achievement from an inspirational awesome man

[@hannahhopwood3384]

Really looking forward to watching this 🙌

[@rascott1970]

Respect

[@Nikenik2001]

Why the 2.35:1 format? All the shots look cropped/zoomed in and I keep looking for a "zoom out"-button. It's really difficult to watch. 16:9 format next time please.
