Doing hard things! Gold Camp Road is a beautiful area!

[@UltraTrailSteven]

It sure is!

[@adamtyson1257]

Beautiful pictures, well done, must be near Colorado Springs?

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Thank you! Yes, I live in Colorado Springs.

[@vandy91298]

Beautiful snow run - enjoying the training log videos. Those sunglasses look like they would work well with all the snow/reflection - don't see them in your gear list. Can you share which model they are?

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Thank you! Those are the 30 South Trail RX. They don't have those anymore, but the Trail RE look almost identical. 30south.co/product/trail-re-recycled-sports-sunglasses/?v=7516fd43adaa

[@stevejosepher7787]

Putting together good weeks!

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Thanks, Steve!

[@lesterburris1]

LOVE Carbs fuel....the unflavored aspect is a big part of why I like it so much, but can see how that is not desirable to everyone. The best part to me is their price; cheapest gel per calorie on the market!

[@UltraTrailSteven]

It does have a taste tho in my opinion. But yes, the price is perfect!! Thanks!

[@lesterburris1]

Totally agree...I just happen to like that "taste" I guess 😂

[@hibiru6868]

Your snow run looked like my run a couple of weeks ago. I'm still early into my training after a long break but the snow really made my hip flexors work more than normal. Did you feel the same thing? The new training program sounds like a big jump, excited that you'll be taking us along.

[@UltraTrailSteven]

It definitely works the muscles more! My hip flexors were fine, but definitely had more overall fatigue than normal.

[@SamPardys]

Yo Steve, I am newish to trail running (been trail running for about 1 year consistently) and you’ve been a huge impact on it just from watching you. But question for you, what would you say the best GPS watch? I want to get on new trails without getting lost and having to pull out my phone to find my way back. Thank you!

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Thank you, Sam! Glad to hear you are loving the trails! The COROS APEX 2 and APEX 2 Pro both have great navigation. Both have topographical maps and can upload GPX files, and have turn by turn navigation.

[@dylanp6310]

haven't commented in awhile but keeping up with your videos, still love them! after seeing your Leadville series and running my first half-marathon in Frisco.. i signed up for the full marathon in Leadville this year. would love any tips or advice to running that trail. little nervous since i've been recovering from a torn hamstring muscle since November that's kept me sidelined still. thanks much!

[@UltraTrailSteven]

The Leadville Trail Marathon is a good race! Trails aren’t very technical and it’s mostly, if not all fire roads.

[@bradwheeler9946]

We all know the real reason to wear two watches is to get double the mileage 😉

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Darnit your on to me! LOL

[@afewmominutes]

Wow that snow accumulated fast! Great training, which 200 are you getting ready for?

[@UltraTrailSteven]

I am training for the Sangre De Cristo 200 in September.

[@afewmominutes]

@@UltraTrailSteven That's a beast, have fun!

[@UltraTrailSteven]

@@afewmominutes ha I’ll try

[@springfieldprancer]

How do you manage to not hit your head on the ceiling when you are on your treadmill?

[@Kelly_Ben]

I thought this was a joke until I got to that part of the video! 😂

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Very carefully! I can go up to 20% incline without issue, but if I want to go steeper, I have to move to the back of the treadmill lol

[@Kelly_Ben]

Man, I get so jealous watching you train in Colorado... it's like it's custom made for outdoor sports. It'll be cool to see what the additional strength training does for your running! What are your "must do" exercises when you're in a time crunch? I just signed up for my first 100k... it's only 4 months away. 😂🫣

[@UltraTrailSteven]

Colorado has got to be one of the best states for outdoor activities! Hm I don't know if I have a list, but it would probably have split squats, deadlifts, planks, pushups, and lunge jumps on it. Which 100km??
