My First 100K Ultra | Race the World Special (Julian Alps 100K Ultramarathon)

That view of the sunrise on top , your whole experience, combined with the beautiful story telling in a jeremy Clarkson like voice, make this a brilliant thing to watch. Congrats for your achievement!

[@TheLankyExplorer]

That’s very kind indeed! I love to share my experience as vividly as I can and honestly it’s nice to have the constant distraction of changing a GoPro battery whilst running for so long! Cheers again and tune in for the sabbatical walk next… followed by Finland!

I literally just finished my first 100k 8hours ago. Crazy how this video was an ad on my feed as recommended!!

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Amazing! Congratulations 👏 Where did you run?

[@SusanRae-w7c]

Incredible Matt. What an achievement! The video is awesome too 🤩

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Thank you! So satisfying bringing back the footage to show you all :)

[@StephenWadeMorris95]

The Lanky Explorer and DNF do not exist in the same sentence! So glad you started making these videos! Can’t wait for the next one! My guess for the building is the Slovenian branch of a Wetherspoons? 😂

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Cheers Stephen! It was pretty close but the view massively made up for the effort! Not this time I’m afraid! If only there were mountain based Wetherspoons 🤔

[@evanedmonds6871]

Cracking video, editing skills are well under way. 👌

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Thanks! Appreciate that 😃 Always trying to learn new skills!

[@peterrichardson9042]

Your amazing Matt, keep the videos coming.

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Thanks Peter, I will do my best!

[@lithiumrob]

Loved this! Well done mate, very inspiring video and attitude. Great running, great video, great work 👏

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Thank you so much, really do appreciate it! Next video coming soon 👀

[@jammy62]

So proud of you mate, cannot believe the views at the top!! I definitely would not have been appreciating every footstep at the end though... Did appreciate the bonus Ollie content also. Was the aid station located in the Slovenian version of the RNLI?

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Thanks mate! Really kind and honestly the beauty of the landscape offered so much mental energy. Loved it. No quite… it was a fire station!

[@dannystarbs]

Great video mate👏👊

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed… took longer to edit than run!

[@sjm.photos]

i could have done that easily. in my car hehe. mad matt , awesome location and race, with all the elevations i can now understand how massive of a thing this is.

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Thanks mate! Definitely pushed the line with this one, totally worth it though! Would love to see the Peugeot negotiate that mountain 😆

[@sjm.photos]

@@TheLankyExplorer remember when clarkson took the pug up a mountain on grand tour or topgear it made it mine wouldnt it would get stuck instantly too low hehe

[@JohnM-xr6ch]

Great video, I’m tackling the 80k next week, did you wear trailflys? How was the great?

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Yes! I was wearing Inov8 TrailFly Ultra G 300 Max and I’d say 270’s are great too. Suitable level of cushioning for trail and great grip. Personally love to use the Salomon quick lace kit with these too! Best of luck in your training - build gradually and explore your wonderful country!

[@evanedmonds6871]

Some kind of fire station, as it had fire brigade uniform inside.???

[@TheLankyExplorer]

Correct! Prostovoljno gasilsko društvo Podhom to be exact. We’ll have your prizes organised soon!

[@evanedmonds6871]

Woooo amazing news. 🙌
