My gear for a 55km run

My midweek runs and getting ready for an epic this weekend pacing at the Downunder 135mile Ultra Marathon!
New video every Tuesday and Thursday

I am a 27 year old runner from South Australia. I focus on long distance trail running and have completed 10 ultra marathons since I took up running 3 years ago after having a long history of chronic ilness. I wanted to combine my love of running and documenting things and the result is me making these videos/vlogs about my training, races, opinions and experiences as well as some of my everyday life outside of running.

Yas! A runner that is good at vlogging! 😀 Fully entertaining!

[@DanWhitehead]

thanks glad you liked it!

[@annaspringbear]

Slowly working my way through your films chronologically and they are an absolute pleasure.

[@DaniyyelB]

Great cut away, “Changed my mind...” you got a new subscriber!

[@IronWill]

I'm doing my first Ultra in just over a month at the 6ft Track Marathon in the Blue Mountains (NSW)! This video is great for me to figure out the sort of things I'll need to bring with me :D

[@ForTheLoveOfRunning]

That "run on your rest day" vibe

[@radsdau]

Your vids are inSANE. Do you have a meta-documentary on how you make these? And how much time each one takes? Unreal.

[@alicethecameltoe]

Random comment but it's about bringing your jetboil along. Try one of those Decor brand drink bottles from Woolies that keep liquid hot or cold for 12hrs. I pack those and they stay roasting hot ALL DAY (can't speak for them staying cold as I haven't tried that). They're amazing for bringing coffee along and much more compact than bringing your jetboil!

Ha ! my running days off always end like that. Great video.

[@neilcatley9474]

Great video. Packing for my longest event yet (43 miles) so good to see what you're packing. Loving the aeropress being in there - it was first in my kit bag too!! 😂☕

[@400mile4]

Great Video dude. Looks like mandatory kit is more like UK style

[@FloNoTrail]

Good stuff Dan - you just popped up in my feed - good to see another Aussie on KZbin- have you tried the Inov8 vests?

[@DanWhitehead]

Nice one had a quick look on your chanel I will check it out properly tonight. I will have to get you to show me around tasmania some time ive always wanted to go running there! I haven't tried the inov8 ones no they look good though. Pretty happy with the new salamon its a good vest.

[@FloNoTrail]

There's some good wild places to run here - we've been getting to some cool places since starting our channel, gets you out and about more than you probably would otherwise. Liked what I saw of your channel, will check out more tonight - )

[@itstherunningmonkey]

Owyeah you take a lot on a 55km run! Is trhu that the mandatory lists in the US are way longer than in Europe?

[@f3penang287]

Hi Dan. How did you find the vest? Any issues with the speed flask bottom hurting your ribs?

[@gooseandmav2k11]

Yo Dan, killed it again 😀 did you find out the name of the Patagonia jacket?

[@goodnewsrunning]

Dan I recently found your channel and I’m watching all the old stuff. I enjoy watching what you post. I’m sure you’ve been asked or posted somewhere but what stabilizing pole do you use when running?

[@edcurl2255]

Dan, could you please provide the details of the water bottle you make reference to at about 2.50? I can't find anything like it. Cheers. Ed.

[@IsaiahDanielJohnson]

It looks like something from a brand called ‘simple hydration’. I don’t think it’s the exact same but pretty close

[@Nkei-bb9dy]

I knew you are a real runner when you decided to run on your rest day...

[@Simulati0n]

Great video, got yourself a new subscriber.

[@anandyahamdi]

How much weight of all the gears excluded water?

[@GeorgeRussell9]

7:00 Yo, I have that same guitar mug! Rate the decision to rock patagucci when possible given the eco-friendly nature of their kit. Rapanui bamboo shirts and a few other small surf/outdoors brands from the UK are worth a look too, not sure how accessible they'd be overseas though

[@supmission]

Cool vid with drone runs! Which Salomon vest is that mate?

[@PoetWithPace]

That is a lot of gear dan and excellent stuff! How long you been Altra?

[@chadlunders4898]

Both elastic bands which hold the bottles up have broken after only a few months of use on my vest.

[@charliehutson2062]

Great video

[@lundqvistmarkus]

A runner who uses aeropress.. one more follower collected! The waterproof jacket, what's the model? Anything you recommend?

[@amaurylouvrier5651]

Love ur vids but please just speak a bit louder 😼

[@sdnalyam]

Which area were you running. Any idea for a pack that I can use day hiking and running.

[@michaelgreer21]

Do you carry all of that gear when you are on a long run? Do you have someone meet you at certain points? How does that work?

[@marianseifert8453]

Great Content! Whats the Name of the Vest?

[@JeanderRibeiroFotografia]

great video! i will subscribe now!

[@j9405]

This is a dumb question but I just started running about a month ago at a pretty slow pace everytime I go out, I do it everyday for at least 2.5 miles and average above 3 everyday, I’m at about 92 miles right now and my stamina has improved pretty good, however my calves*** still hurt when I run, I know it’s only been a month but I’m just wondering how long you think it will take until I can run a 5k at least (I don’t even know if I can jog a mile) and I’m 15

[@TORvikoli]

I used to have issues with calves, calve raises and uphill (very slow pace) helped me. In additional you have to evolve your feet and shin strength and stretching to avoid injuries. The most important thing is ligaments, to improve them will take a while

[@dimka11ggg]

Omg, I didn't know that so much things need to running

[@varu76]

hey there , about the water bottle any brand in particular, or the detail name so i can find it in amazon, thanks

[@SepticInsect]

Whats that bottle called that you stick in your shorts?

[@chinthm]

Awesome filmmaking dude .. are you from Australia ?

[@vinnyd8216]

That accent.. definitely Aussie.

[@MaxTV-hd9wb]

Anyone know what pantagonia jacket it is???

[@kingnothing5678]

Pewdiepie???

[@SNlPER27]

The music to audio volume was super annoying in this video. Bad editing.

[@HIGHVILLELAUNCHER]

you mentioned environmentally conscious. So you're vegan?
