[@raleyadventures]

Looked amazing there 🎉 we are so pleased you had such a great time 🙌

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@raleyadventures It certainly was guys, I’m now wishing that I’d stayed😢

[@blewdigeidfran]

What an astonishing bit of scenery!!! Lovely trail run!!! And a great video Andy 🙌

[@AndyCliffMTB]

Thanks Gethin, that was a stunning place and the best day to explore the UTMB course. ALso great to meet up with Gelu, you should check out that marathon video he did:)

[@RunFreeandStrong]

Hi Andy, watching this with my morning coffee ... what a beautiful UTMB Nice Cote d'Azur course!!! Time for you to give it a go!

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@RunFreeandStrong Hi Reto, I hope it gave you a lift, the weather here has been cold, grey and damp and we have a big storm coming in tonight😩I’ve bought some trail shoes recently (Velocity Nitro Trac 3) but they’re still pristine, unworn😂I’m booked for a 10K trail race in March though😀

[@AndyCliffMTB]

And UTMB, maybe a short one. There’s a 30K trail race in Monaco next year btw, how does that sound?

[@RunFreeandStrong]

Hey ​@@AndyCliffMTBthanks again for the shout-out! Totally epic for you to experience the Nice UTMB 50k course with a new friend and fellow runner! Yes,.UTMB races consist of different distances, and trying a 20K or 30K trail race would be perfect! Cheers!

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@ You’re very welcome Reto, UTMB is right up your street✅

[@sharedpath]

It was great to meet you Andy 😊 I really enjoyed our little run together. Next year, we'll definitely do a proper trail-run together 💪

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@sharedpath Likewise Gelu, I loved our trail run and it was great to learn I had sampled a UTMB course😀I think next year I might do Monaco and I’ll hopefully be in better shape😀

[@markg99]

Lovely trails, Andy. You must have been feeling it after the 10k in zone 5 😅

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@markg99 I was, and even though I held Gelu back, it was such a perfect morning. I’m looking forward to his video of the Monaco 30K trail in early Feb, that should be a cracker😀

[@TheRunningWhale]

Some stunning views there mate, what a treat. I wouldn’t mind if that was my local run route lol. To think how we were under block of snow and ice at the same time 😢

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@TheRunningWhale Hi Craig, yes, it was a stunning location for a trail run, and looking outside now, I wish I’d stayed😢

[@TheRegularRunner]

Loving the trail Andy. There looked to be some serious altitude involved, and that airbnb looked like bliss. We are planning to give some trails a go ourselves over the next couple of weeks 🤞 Is it the Great Manchester Run 10k that you are doing? Becky and I have just signed up to run it with one of our friends for her first ever race. It would be great to catch up if we can. Hope your plantar etc are all doing okay!

[@AndyCliffMTB]

@@TheRegularRunner Thanks for watching Matt, that week in Nice did me a world of good, certainly helped me to clear the chest virus thing I had. The trail was a treat, I had no idea I’d be sampling a UTMB course when I met up with Gelu😀I’ve bought some proper trail shoes which are still pristine, Puma Nitro Trac 3s😊Yes it’s the Great Manchester Run (10K), I’ve done it since 2021, it’s a highlight of my running year, especially for the session in Albert Schloss afterwards🍻Thanks for asking, it’s up and down tbh🤔
