PIKES PEAK MARATHON 2019 | SAGE CANADAY RACE REPORT VLOG

[@rgonzales1657]

After seeing your struggles in the past year, I’m so happy you’ve got this podium! Thanks for the inspiration! More power to you and Sandy! :)

[@eden8131]

second to Killian it's first to normal people.

[@wastelander1015]

@Liam S ahaha true

[@dinysanchez]

@Liam S absolutely

[@hossticklemonster103]

I love that your mom was cheering for Kilian! Lol

[@number1fan262]

Thanks, Sandi, for being such a powerful, positive role model for Sage (& all of us!), and motivating him to take better care of himself through a better diet, more strength training, etc.! 🤗 You are such an excellent, beautiful life teammate. 💓 Your running family LOVES to see you both running strong!

[@johnbouttell5827]

6 minutes off your previous time is a 3% improvement. Well done.

[@CasaBenny]

I'm in tears watching this. I'm happy for you, and for myself. I placed 2nd in a local club race yesterday, and this is the first time where I place in a race. I used to be obese 10 years ago weighing +100 kg. Discipline over motivation, day by day. Well done Sage. Keep inspiring.

[@htownallday281]

As someone who has hiked pikes, I have the utmost respect for you. Under 8 hours round trip is insane, let alone 3:39.

[@Kenzierose93]

Love the old guy’s reaction when he realized it was you at the finish. He turned and yelled your name in surprise.

[@Brett33]

Congratulations Sage. Can't think of a better person to finish 2nd to than Kilian .

[@KevleVid]

So happy for you Sage! As weird as it is, I feel genuine pride in you for your approach and deserved pay-off. You share so much that we benefit from and so much of your journey that I think we end up quite invested in your story. Great that you're coming back to see us in Scotland too - best of luck!

[@el_arte]

Weight loss + less mileage + more intensity = boom. Always thought that’s what you needed. Great job!

[@atanasatanassov426]

Well done Sage, just a month ago you were in a dark place and this weekend your second in the top of the most prestigious competitions, that's the spirit!!

[@JonsConsciousLife]

Amazing job Sage! Super happy for you, and I mean let’s face it, second place to Killian is basically first place lol. This one has to feel really good. Epic pic at 7:35.

[@valerson03]

Awesome race Sage! Thanks for everything you do in this sport.

[@paddysmyth90]

Dude, I've been out the past 7 months with 2 slipped discs, and couldn't bring myself to watch any running related videos. Good thing is now I get to binge on your videos. So happy to see you smash it out there. As I'm tentatively starting back, this gives me a whole lot of motivation to get back out there, get back to fitness and try and smash my own goals. Keep it up big fella, all the best! Paddy

[@Sawizzard]

Sage! Huge congrats, being second to Kilian is something 99,99999% of runners can only dream of. You are the coolest guy out there, always so humble and willing to go into detail on your own training strategies. Biiiig Kudos! You are the most inspiring runner for me, been with this channel forever, love your Strava profile too, so educating. I hope I'll get the chance to see you run live one day and scream "Go Sage!" from the top of my lungs ;)

[@johnmcmahon8434]

Sage, it's great to see your happy about a race performance. From a viewer's perspective you I'd like to see you happy more often. I know the struggle is real, and it's always difficult to dial training in perfectly, avoid injury, and avoid the temptation to over race, but I hope you're able to dial thing in so we can see a happy Sage more often. I understand that being your own worst critic is necessary to ultimately have race performances like the one you did at Pikes Peak this year, but I just want to know that you know you're impressive discipline and knowledge is always leading to progression even when it doesn't necessarily feel that way. Congrats on the amazing race and for always representing Boulder favorably in life, on the trail, and in races!

[@chones_]

Sage, you should use that bit of a trip clip as your intro to *every* video. I laughed out loud (not because you almost fell but because of your comment) and it reminds everyone that pro runners sometimes slip too! Glad your hard work paid off.

[@philippelanglet9463]

Fantastic turnaround in just a few weeks. An example for everybody. Happy for you, Kilian, and Matt... You look so relax!

[@michaelr2c]

That was an awesome performance, Sage! And, second to Killian is almost like winning! ;-) Huge congrats and looking forward to seeing you in the remaining Golden Trail Series races!!

[@lizgreen2936]

Brilliant run Sage!!....the first video I saw was Seth de moors an when he said you were running in 2nd place I was so happy for you an just hoping you'd keep it up till the end!!...congrats again an here's too the next golden trail race...🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃x

[@robroy8485]

Fantastic result Sage. You needed this. Great for your confidence going forward 👏👏

[@jbcholbi]

Great race Sage. I'm from Spain but you are one of my gods. Congrats for the awesome 2 place!!

[@jorgemorfin6232]

Congratulations Sage! It's really inspiring to see the man that taught me how-to run, having these performances! All your hard work is paying off. Cheers

[@craighammond5918]

That trip gave me a heart attack! Great performance Sage

[@sha4074]

Congrats Sage! Witnessing your struggles and determination along the way these years, I respect and celebrate you not only for your top-notch athletic achievements but also for being an incredible human being- your self reflection, openness to share, kind-heartedness, and hardworking is truly special and inspiring. Stay real! Keep going after your dreams!!

[@adyton]

Perfect run, perfect result, perfect family; perfect.

[@shawnat8799]

I was shocked you came in after Kilian that's just so dang impressive!

[@garyvaughn207]

Congratulations Sage!! Good luck on the Golden Trail series. You are such an inspiration.

[@harmpeters252]

Congratulations on great race. Thanks for co-developping the Torrent. Wearing it for a month now, and they are fantastic!

[@bendman336]

Fuck yeah. Been watching you for years. So proud of this. You truly are a Any Surface Any Distance athlete and as others have said, finishing second to Kilian is a tremendous accomplishment. So stoked to see how the rest of your season goes. Thanks for the update on your diet and hill reps! Keep crushing it!

[@libertandoapoeira]

Sage great performance. Proud of you. Congratulations.

[@christophersayers8257]

Great race footage and soundtrack to cap an awesome performance, top effort Sage!!!

[@TheFODRunner]

Brilliant result Sage, lets hope you can continue and finish 2019 off strong!

[@brunospasta]

Great to see you back in form! Hope you will tackle a nice 100miler next year without the nonsense spring marathon training : ) I still think UTMB would be your race!

[@jjfamilyfunandgaming7652]

Way to go, Sage! I’ve only been a follower for a little over a year but straight up got emotional as I watched. Congratulations!

[@johnlauer4389]

So Awesome Man Congratulations!! You have just renewed my faith in recovery, training and pushing forward. You have inspired me for many years now. Im in the middle of training for my first MUT 50K in October thanks for all of the great advise over the years...

[@redflash09021981]

Must admit, in advance, I didn't expect 2nd place so I was very impressed at the end. I'm glad you didn't fall. Thanks for your analysis afterwards. Congratulations!! Best

[@hiddenpunk291]

But in all seriousness, congrats on making the podium Sage. You've worked hard and deserve it

[@marcorossi6958]

ok, this is official: after years of watching every single sage's training talk video I know this one will be in loop for the next decade :D everything is there: smart race strategy, looking strong on the climb and quite relaxed with good flow on the downhill.. humbleness and wise post race analysis: you're great Sage!

[@rna3xhelix]

So proud of you Sage! You’re my spirit animal.

[@peanutbutterjam9501]

Congrats on an incredible result! And, wow! Arlene Pieper!!!

[@florintanasescu7068]

Congratulations on your result! I refreshed the IrunFar Twitter every couple of minutes to see the race progress. Don't know if I was nervous as you about Marc on the descent but I was happy for you when you crossed the finish line.

[@jbcholbi]

Same here!

[@sagecleveland3953]

Wow what a race Sage, Great to see you on the podium. Was such a fun video to watch. I hope you run this next year since it’s in my neck of the woods I’ll come watch you win the next one

[@boilingfrog783]

Kilian Jornet - the Eliud Kipchoge of mountain running. No shame in coming second to him. Good job 👍

[@dancook188]

Right on, Sage - *outstanding* performance! And, I loved hearing about your dietary improvements (whole food plant based vegan here!) 👊

[@roblasonder5015]

Great result Sage ! Very happy for you. Hope you will do well at the Ring of Steal in Scotland.

[@bboy6surme]

Bravo Sage

[@hungmanxxxx2462]

Awesome Sage!!!!!! Great to see you pull through the ‘lows’ and the self doubt to reaching TOP !!! Amazing journey

[@topoisomerace]

Awesome race! This makes me want to go out and crush a run of my own.

[@gokiwi2642]

EPMD_ haha yeah me to I’m off to the hills 😀

[@craigs6380]

Congrats on the podium finish Sage. Outstanding!

[@pauladams1659]

Great run Sage. Congrats and thanks for all you do for mountain ultra trail running. You’ve inspired me tremendously and taught me a lot. Hope you enjoyed a handful of Avery brews after this one.

[@Dean0017]

Great job Sage. Looks like you are back to form. Way to hold it together when you tripped.

[@nleepm]

Well done Coach Sage. So happy for you.

[@Sanko1960]

So cool that people shared their video with you, great editing, and really inspiring to just watch you run! Congratulations!

Man that was like an old-school Vo2MaxProductions race video! I loved that! Well done Sage!

[@danielschloss1111]

What a great race and what a great sport. Mankind's most pure event. America's Ultimate Challenge. I think this channel will bring many more to the sport.

[@walterwally983]

Sage bro you totally nailed this one mate! So happy for you G$!

[@Siimaging]

Congratulations Sage, it's been great seeing you turn it around over the past few months. Psyched you'll be at The Ring of Steall next month, I'll be racing that one too. I'm a fan but I can't promise I'll go easy on you ;P

[@LuisBecerra79]

Well deserved Sage. Congratulations and keep working hard for your goals.

[@Scuba_Son]

Happy seeing all your hard work come together!

[@philiphodgesnz]

Total joy! Well done - u deserve this success.

[@merkin22]

Nice work. That 'slip' on the rocks has left my heart in my throat for awhile! Yikes. You looked strong.

[@Dissey]

Congrats on an amaxing performance Sage.

[@M4N1F3570R]

Massive congratulations mate. You've had a tough last few races, but you're back on your game now!

[@eagerunner1]

Thank for sharing your experience of pre race. I love what hard work and never giving up produces. Pikes is a the first 14tner that i did. So happy for you a super awesome finish.

[@johnfazzari6208]

Nice recap, very positive. Congratulations and thanks for being an inspiration.

[@ultrahighcarblife6283]

Congratulations Sage! You are so inspiring!

[@Ligerpride]

Well done big man, delighted for you.

[@littleoldmanrunning105]

Yeah Sage! Nice to see you finally firing and living up to your potential. You put in the work and you certainly deserve the results. Where are all the people saying you should eat meat to improve your performance now? Best of luck for the rest of the series.

[@jonathannyce2798]

Glad to see all that hard work pay off Sage! You deserved that for sure

[@billmccaffrey1977]

Congrats on the 2nd place finish Sage. Hope you can finish the GTS as a top 10 finisher.

[@GokuRunnerV0]

Good job. Congratulations your vlog is one of the bests in internet. .

[@NathanRidings]

Congrats on the placing! I also got to tell you it was refreshing to see a truly positive race report.

[@lwu101]

Awwwsome!!!! Great to see you back in peak form. Hope you can match or do better on the next race. Cheers

[@guest00791]

You rocked it!! Love the race day sun glasses!

[@tmnt3998]

[@ollspur2505]

You are the man Sage! - Major congrats!!

[@22RedEyeJedi22]

Hell yeah! My man!!! I had tears of joy for you!!! Love you brother!

[@DanRuns]

Stunning effort and great video documenting the day and race

[@ericsisk1]

Bad words. Lol. Congrats dude! Happy to see you on the podium!!

[@pogcrazy5398]

Great video compilation and great result, Sage. I have been watching you for a while as you learn, develop and go through some good and bad runs. I am really happy to see you place well for Pikes Peak and it goes to show that youre on the right track. Keep it up, and keep working hard at what you love. Hopefully will get to see you next year if you return for Comrades Marathon in SA.

[@dahl121]

Great Sage! You deserve it after a hard period. Form is temporary class is permanent!

[@emcinc9654]

Great work. Definitely kept the pedal to the metal.

[@IjinPT]

Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration!

[@BassGoThump]

Yeah Buddy!!!! And you were worried about top 5...psh 😎 Good work Sage! You're truly inspirational

[@nonorunner8136]

Awesome race, Sage. You should come back to the UTMB, but to race in the OCC or CCC. You would ace them. The CCC in particular starts with 1400 m D+ over 9.2 km, and there are a few other similar vertical stretches. The races are won and lost there (saying someone who finished the OCC in the last quarter and DNFed at the CCC ...)

[@jasonjennings8465]

Great work Sage! Good job at not rolling that ankle and falling. I was watching from Dallas, TX. Keep it up!

[@tianl98765]

so happy for you man!!

[@markmccormick4407]

Fantastic Sage, great result and super happy for you! Keep it up dude

[@bmarcel7598]

very happy 4 u, congratulation! ...and what a great ''shake hands photo'' at the finish line with Kilian Jornet, nice, and bravo also to your crew!

[@dannymontes4110]

Well done Sage. Congratulations!!!! And thanks for sharing it. You mean a lot to me Man, so thank you.

[@jcizzlepiano]

Man that intro made me anxious 😂 have had one too many moments like that on the trails. Oh yeah and you destroyed this race!

[@Abes523]

So happy for you Sage, absolutely amazing performance. Highly motivational.

[@timbrownblacksmithandknife5648]

Great race sage. Nice to see the improvements.

[@ystong6345]

Yes! I've been waiting for Sage to release his video!!!

[@gokiwi2642]

YS Tong me to

[@matteoschiavetti8105]

Ah, the immediate benefit of gym exercises for runners that never did that...;) good job man!

[@thedolenorway]

So happy for your second place finish here!! Let this positive trend carry you onwards and upwards, and be careful on the Ring of Steall descents, some stumbling and cursing is ok, just no supermans! 😉

[@brandoncornell6715]

Congratulations on the awesome race and finish!
