You both so deserved that Spa after UTMB 🙌🙌 Great informative video Thanks Jeff 🙌🙌🇬🇧

[@obabij]

Your delivery is so smooth and deliberate; there are no pause words or "ummms". So, ummmm, my vote is that either Audrey is standing behind the camera with bristle board or you have a teleprompter.🙂

[@zacrezin]

I presume you have a script that you read from, but it has never been distracting and always feels natural

[@IdRatherBeHiking]

If you have a teleprompter you are either a ninja at reading and maintaining eye contact or you just have a few bullet points to cover in the video. I've filmed over 700 videos on my other channel with a teleprompter and I found it impossible to keep perfect eye contact unless I'm memorizing each line.

[@SendingStache]

Definitely going to miss this series!

[@jonasjonasson15]

When you’re almost done with the boring thread mill session and realise that Jeff released new content, so the only thing to do is to continue running 😊👍

[@cpruns4501]

I'm all in on a big "no" to the teleprompter. The way you speak about things I just don't see it. I think you use your video editing skills well to blend it all together awesome. I think what will shock a lot of people is the amount of time you put into these videos. I bet it's something like 4-5 hours of work for every 10 minutes that we see in the final product. People have no idea how much time this stuff really takes. You do awesome and I can't wait for your newsletter! Keep up the great work:)

[@cpruns4501]

PS - I LOVE These training diaries. What I love the most about it is it doesn't have to be this all out- super impactful video. It can just be a weekly check in and here is what I'm doing. I just love trail running and enjoy content like you put out. There are so many videos on youtube in this space but not very many great ones:)

[@emma-eventing]

@@cpruns4501 i bet you're right -- i always just assume the videos are scripted, but that Jeff basically already kinda knows what he's gonna say just by nature of storyboarding out the videos. will be curious if there IS a teleprompter tho!

[@ScottRunsnStuff]

@CP Runs it’s nice to see your name over here too! I love Jeff’s channel and the amount of detail and work that goes into these videos. I’ve got a long way to be at this level but love to learn and pick things up from watching other running documentary channels.

[@cpruns4501]

@@ScottRunsnStuff Thanks and ya Jeff is awesome. I love seeing the twist everyone puts on their channel (yours included). I so much respect the amount of time and energy that goes into producing these great videos:)

[@ScottRunsnStuff]

@@cpruns4501 it does take a long time (me especially I feel like). All of my race recap videos 100% take me longer to edit and produce then running the actual event - even my first 100 miler, at 35.5 hours. But as I’ve always said, the hours and work I put into a video is a one-time effort (sorta) but gives me - and my family and friends - always something to look back on and cherish. It’s worth it to me to make these even if it’s just for me because of how much I enjoy rewatching them, so when others show their appreciation for what I’ve done it’s just so incredible. Thanks a ton for watching, commenting, and just now subscribing to my channel! Let’s see if I can bump past 200 by the end of this year! Happy running!

[@ThatFlowState]

I really enjoyed the training diaries this year and I hope you will bring it back next season. I'm a big fan of the Leki poles and their strap system. It's so nice not to have to grip tye poles tightly. I'm kinda impressed you managed to break one 😅. In regards to that definitely contact Leki to see if the pole can be repaired. They stock lots of replacement parts for years and I've had a great experience with their customer service in the past.

[@mikkiwillidenphd5696]

Great video Jeff, and that spa - amazing! I had never thought about a teleprompter - my guess is no...

[@ROLLRecovery]

Thank you so much for your support and positive feedback about our new R1™ PERCUSSION!

[@GreatWhiteWine]

Good job on the race! I was following you live as well as Audrée and was surprised that so many people were able to follow your pace or even go faster, the level is so high it's incredible. Regarding the prompt, I never thought about it, but now that you mentioned it... I also wanted to say that I really enjoyed these training diaries this year and I hope that they will come back next year! I wish you a pleasant recovery and I hope that you know that you are inspiring many people to run more and in a smarter way (including me with my very very small 59km with no moutains...).

[@arnoldb5437]

Dream trip out in France nicely done! Definitely teleprompter app✅

[@Shevock]

That spa looks amazing.

[@kimgradwell4510]

No to the teleprompter but you certainly are well prepared in what you present - speaking wise.

[@daniellimaribeiro7387]

Awesome, Jeff! Thanks. And yes, I think you read from somewhere. But your eyes barely move like u were reading.

[@1121gsm]

Great advice: take a walk during a long flight about every hour. On my way back form the Mt. Everest Base Camp Trek (Doha to Philadelphia) I didn't do that and ended up with a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). I doesn't affect my trekking performance but my leg is still a little swollen. Now, I take a little trip to the toilet every hour. Thanks for all your very helpful videos.

[@Sanko1960]

I think you do not use a teleprompter. I think you are just a very good speaker. I enjoy your videos very much! Thank you!

[@jaykelly6475]

Signed up for the newsletter. Yes, I think you use a teleprompter. Love your videos!

[@luiscolome75]

First of all, thank you for making the effort to record the video while being sick. I'm very sad that the training diaries series is going to end. I really hope you keep posting more regular content since you and Audrée are an inspiration to so many of us. Thank you. I can't wait to get the first newsletter! 😊

[@claudiobarreira9115]

Nothing beats a good Spa!!! :D

[@gerrybesworth7762]

My vote is a 'no' on the teleprompter. I had wondered this previously as you provide wonderful, and sometimes lengthy, commentary when addressing the camera and I just attributed this to natural ability and knowledge. Perhaps I shouldn't peek behind the curtain! Great training series, it has been a joy and an education to follow!

[@ContentsMayDiffer]

It's best to break both poles at once. I've had three BD Distance Z poles for a couple of years now.

[@EverythingWasGreat]

This might sound weird but your videos are always high quality and well thought through, so i always wait with watching so i can take the time to watch them properly and in one session.

[@rogerjohnson1391]

No prompter You have the gift of gab!

[@patricelemay1190]

You're a great narrator , your flow is very natural , very good level of language , up to an anchorman standard , if you're not reading a prompter dude you're amazing , well if you're reading one you're awesome too ...l'm gonna go with prompter ! 🤔 ☝🙂

[@samcarlson6001]

Jeff, it feels more like you have a fairly detailed outline of points you want to make sure to include. I vote no teleprompter.

[@SubtleForces]

Your training diaries are the first videos that I checked each time I went on KZbin. They were always captivating, very well filmed and produced. It never felt repetitive and I always learned something as an old new runner. I had been musing the prompter question but could not tell and decided there was no need to speculate since I could probably just ask you :-) Now I am looking forward to hearing about it, while I know I'll miss the diaries like so many others when the last is done. But, I am also looking forward to the long documentaries. (signed up for the newsletter and hope it worked). One last thing: I'll try a Spa after my next parkrun

[@gnilradlliw]

I think you plan what you're going to say but then have it memorized. Thanks for the great videos :D

[@jedikaren8112]

Well done! Being sick is never any fun. Ive doing my "race" of hiking around US national parks next week to see if a year of training has paid off.

[@rafaelhidalgo]

Great content as always 👍 will definitely be trying out that SPA in chamonix one of these days! Looking forward to the production behind the scenes. Will mo doubt be learning several things! You dont seem to be reading off a prompter 😁.

[@Tiinamor]

Huge fan! Absolutely loving your training diaries, always interesting and very well produced. Greetings all the way from Norway :)

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

Good point about the recovery you mention by David Roche. I'm sure your body will be more than ready to come back to training and have some fun in the trails or with some speed workout. As I don't have any goal for the coming months, that's how I "structure" my weekly runs. Mixing a bit of this and that, trying to keep my fitness level and maybe improve my Strava segments :) I have enjoyed these diaries and looking forward upcoming content. Cheers

[@sebastianmoreoferrall9949]

Come to Australia and run the Kosci50 as part of the UTMB series in December! Great single track running in a new place! I doubt you use a teleprompter. You might have notes but it seems too natural for it to be fully promoted plus the editing is super on point!

[@johnofardeal]

Great video as always, Jeff 👏🏻 and thanks for the spa recommendation, now I have more leverage to convince my girlfriend to visit Chamonix 😅 Sad to hear the series will end, I’ve been looking forward to each new episode these past few months, but I’m excited for the longer videos that you’ll be putting out! Can’t wait for the first newsletter as well! PS: I never thought you were using a teleprompter. I think it’s a combination of rehearsal and freestyle 😁

[@silverdesk72]

Very enjoyable episode.

[@NicWolfer]

Jeff! Super interested in the travel tips video! Traveling in 2 weeks, hope it’s out by then… really interested in tips about taking poles on the plane!

[@JeffPelletier]

I probably won’t have it ready by then, but I can tell you now that you’ll need to pack your poles in your check-in luggage. You can’t bring them in carry-on!

[@NicWolfer]

@@JeffPelletier ah! That’s what I’ve always done, was hoping there was some secret work around I was missing! Still looking forward to the video, thanks for the great content !

[@AntonChigurh989]

Ultra Trial Cape Town is a good option.

[@timlock238]

Will be at WAM this weekend! But no shakeout for me cause the 100 mile will have already started…

[@JeffPelletier]

See you on course! We’ll be marshalling. I guess the shakeout run is intended for the 50k runners..

[@christianpfeiffer7015]

A lot of great input. I just love the series and are curious for what’s going to come next. I guess you are using no teleprompter and are even more curious how you are creating the videos and story’s 🥰

[@1519Spring]

I'm guessing no teleprompter, but you do well with eye contact, so I may be wrong.

[@DavidBaak]

You use a teleprompter, but it gives you the text mirrored just to make it more challenging.

[@jsherzog]

This was great- Thanks Jeff!

[@dbk81]

Leki poles are theeeee best, the quick clip system is so good and not having to death grip the poles over a long period of time really pays dividends. As someone who cross country skis allot this technology is used in skiing and is equally awesome.

[@JeffPelletier]

Totally agree. Not sure why it took me so long to finally give them a try!

[@dbk81]

@@JeffPelletier Did the hand wraps bother you or rub anything raw over that long a period of time?

[@JeffPelletier]

Not at all. In fact, they saved my palms when I took a tumble.

[@dbk81]

@@JeffPelletier good to know, longest run I’ve done in mine was about 6 hours they were great but I was curious what the longer efforts were like. 👌🏼

[@timlock238]

Once you get your own pair, just be wary of keeping the upper telescoping section of pole clean and dry when you store them after runs. I had five separate poles seize internally and the telescoping section wouldn’t come out! All were replaced under warranty by Leki, but given the demand for them, it took a while to get replacements. As far as I know this is only an issue with the new Superlite version, I have both and it has never happened with the non-superlite version. But I keep replacing them cause they perform the best!

[@daredarra]

Would have never thought that you used a teleprompter!

[@otaviodaudtdeoliveir]

I don’t think you use a tele-prompter, but I guess you rehearse a lot before recording, so as you sound so fluid!

[@danegreenwell2589]

Looking forward to your travel tips video. Any chance you would go slightly more in depth about compression socks for training AND travelling. Looking for more insight to these after recently flying on a sprained ankle and coming out worse from the sitting still for a 10 hour flight.

[@EverythingWasGreat]

Great info as always. Sound like fall can be full of great films and info. I think you use a teleprompter in your phone or on your computer, considering how much you seem to plan ahead and think stuff through 👍. Have a good weekend!

[@debasishsen9397]

U n Ben Parkes almost ran together initially. Could notice u in his video. Unfortunately, he couldn't finish the race. 👍🙏I'll also request u to do a review of Nnormal shoes.

[@SeeChadRun]

I bet you're pro, and only review notes before recording with some fancy cuts/transitions when you aren't saying things well enough. Great video! I just tried signing up for the newsletter but didn't see a way to submit my email on the form...

[@JeffPelletier]

Should be fixed now!

[@---lj2ni]

The lower two sections of the Leki poles are replaceable in the event of a breakage. If ya haven’t already bought new ones.

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks! I’m struggling to find where to buy them though - could it be that this may not be the case for the ultralight poles?

[@mikew6840]

Great stuff - that spa looked brilliant. I am wondering if you and/or Audree get the blues a day or two after these long races? It happens to me and seems to be not uncommon. And yes on the teleprompter 🤔 you never stumble over your words…

[@audreelafreniere2258]

Yes, definitely after the ''high'' and satisfaction of achieving such a big goal, comes a ''low''. For me, the blues come a week or so after, when I feel somewhat recovered but still unable to train or set my mind onto my next goal. There is a bit of a void, but the best thing to do is to fill it with family time, catch up with friends and do other gentle activities (in my case, gravel biking) until I can start running regularly again.

[@kellybaker6353]

Looks like the code gremlins are still interfering with newsletter sign-up. Now there’s no data field for an email address or Submit button. I’ve been enjoying this series, so I hope it continues next season!

[@JeffPelletier]

Oh man, sorry about that! It seems to be fine on my end by I’ll have to do some more testing..

[@jeanphilippeproulx]

Leki sells individual poles if you broke one...

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks for the tip, I had no idea!

[@jeanphilippeproulx]

@@JeffPelletier Me neither... It's the guy responsible for the Leki stand at UTMB expo that mentioned that. He was kind enough to clean and lube my poles and kept ranting about how I should clean them after every run 😂

[@ricodelavega4511]

you say you convinced audrey to use the massage gun, however, you cut to a shot of her using it while you left out the part where you convince her of the benefits of the massage gun.

[@jasonhutchinson3653]

How did Audrey do at UTMB??

[@JeffPelletier]

She did well, but you’ll have to wait for the film to hear the whole story! 😂

[@iksanderrr]

not sure the newsletter sign up is working as when i type my email address in, there's no submit button.

[@JeffPelletier]

Thanks! It should be fixed now.

[@brittanykopke6133]

I think no to teleprompter. I think you write it out, rehearse on a run and then check notes as you go to stay on topic. Lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@lenagennemarkedsbacker]

No prompter?

[@pablo_elizalde]

I'd run the 100 miles just to go to the spa. 😆

[@RachelBurton]

I think you have a structure to your video and you have thought of all your points, but I don’t think you have a teleprompter

[@chad.haggerty]

No teleprompter. Notes but loosely followed.

[@isabelringuette8185]

You don’t use a teleprompter! You’re a natural or you make it look that way is my guess

[@Incroachment]

I don't think you are using a teleprompter

[@aphiggs8657]

You're way too systematic an individual to NOT use a teleprompter! 😉

[@ianbritton7534]

No teleprompter but scripted.

[@ChamindaJ]

I am guessing no teleprompter but highly scripted.
