[@MrBootsElectrik]

Quickly becoming one the most entertaining, educational, and insightful running channels out there. Thanks, Sally!

[@sallymcraestrength]

Thank you Larry! We keep building!!

[@in2minds907]

You’re awesome. That is all.

[@sallymcraestrength]

thank you for watching and for your kindness!

[@MelanieSakowski]

David Roche-style: YOU ARE AMAZING!❤

[@mharms22]

I love that donuts are part of your recovery process!

[@sallymcraestrength]

I don't think anyone likes donuts more than me ahahahahaha...they are a permanent part of my life LOL

[@kevinandlisa4807]

I am so glad you are posting so frequently in you tube. So enjoy this longer content.

[@sallymcraestrength]

appreciate the support!

[@dan_ferritto_REAL_broker]

I have my first 50 tomorrow, 26 degrees and high winds scheduled. I’ll be thinking about how strong you are to help keep me going 💪

[@sallymcraestrength]

Let's go Daniel!!! Hoping for strong legs and an even stronger mind...go get that Finish line!

[@_jandjdesigns]

Thinking of you and wishing you the best Daniel!!!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@casy6203]

How did it go?

[@thepatternforms859]

How did it go

[@daniilzhigimont2185]

Looks like not well😅

[@AV_4C]

Wow you are changing the world of Endurance Running, to run 100 miles on a fatigued body and recovering so quickly after your run is a paradigm shift in endurance recovery👏👏 I love that you are willing to choose strong and test what your body can do! All the best with your big run💪

[@sallymcraestrength]

Thank you!

[@lindaburbank7210]

As someone from the east coast who hasn't had in n out burger since 2017, I was happy to hear that was part of the recovery!! Donuts are great too glad to see that was one of the stats listed 😂

[@skipeterson71]

Every step counts over days, weeks, years decades. I’m 5 mos, at 52, into my trail running exploration. April 30k ✅, June 50k✅, July 50k✅, Aug 50k✅ & upcoming Nov 100k. I’ve never told myself I wouldn’t finish & feel significantly stronger after each race. The exploration of what’s possible on my own without a crew, pacers, sponsors, rad recovery facilities & a team brings me to tears at every finish line. We are all capable & being fearless or just not knowing any better helps too😉 Embracing the recovery!

[@NatalieO-ne3fe]

You have encouraged me to not be afraid to run a half marathon this weekend as I’m currently training for the Boston Marathon. This will be my 8 marathon and my 4th Boston so I’m not new to the training but never thought about checking out the legs and testy my training like this. I’m nervy it excited to see what I got in me. You are simply encouraging and amazing! Thank you

[@blipdriver]

Gooooooooooooo Natalie!

[@sallymcraestrength]

awesome!

[@_jandjdesigns]

Easy 8 mile run this morning and listened to your podcast the whole time. This will be my Saturday routine and I’m loving it 💪🏼

[@sallymcraestrength]

THANK YOU JESSICA! Hope you had a strong run!

[@kevindecoteau3186]

Sally, you are a blessing to all of us.

[@aaronsmith9009]

At first I saw sadly instead of sally 😅

[@patrickclarke1462]

Great to have regular longer content from you I heard you on podcast last year I'd never even heard of an ultra I was casually running a couple of months ..I've now run some short trail races couple marathons and 2 50k and have 40miler next month

[@sallymcraestrength]

so awesome Patrick!! keep going friend; you're building up!!

[@veronikaholaskova862]

[@sallymcraestrength]

Thanks Austin!

[@allisonhernandez8271]

Love all the different topic you’re incorporating into this series. Even though I’ve known you and followed him for a while now, I still feel like I’m always learning so much from you

[@sallymcraestrength]

thank you Allison!

[@tiffanyannlama2708]

I'm in my last month before a burly 40 in West Virginia mountains. I love watching your videos because I get to see all the work you do and it inspires me qhen I'm slogging through my training

[@ohaiitsarielle]

Loving these longer videos! I just ran Chuckanut 50k yesterday as a last long training run for Gorge Waterfalls 100k on April 1st and I feel pretty great this morning! You’ve always been one of my favorite ultra runners to follow ever since I got into the sport and I can’t thank you enough for letting us into your world.

[@sallymcraestrength]

appreciate you watching and commenting; huge props to your finish at chuckanut! heck yeah! wishing you all the strength as you build to gorge 100k!

[@gingerrunning]

You’re so rad Sally. Gearing up to run Aliso canyon in the morning (first time in over 8 years!) since I’m here for a quick visit. I miss our old runs there! ❤

[@runningwoman7207]

Wow… you are truly amazing! You make me wanna be a better runner & better person! Love watching your videos. You inspire me! Thank you♥️

[@cthor7085]

This is turning into my favorite running vlog on KZbin. Amazing insight from a Pro.

[@sallymcraestrength]

Thank you!

[@lizzypicardi]

Hi Sally, I just found your account - and deep dove watching all your content I recently lost my mom earlier this year to unexpected brain cancer, she was so young healthy. I have been watching your videos and balling

[@Julia-lg2on]

The scenery in this video was so gorgeous! The water, the flowers…so pretty 😊 Great tips as well! I’ve been trying to prioritise the most basic element of recovery: sleep. I’m finally accepting that you need extra sleep for running long distance, and that doesn’t make you lazy at all. It makes me feel better in all aspects of life, even apart from running.

[@avinashbhogun]

How insightful, especially the donut part/recovery! 😊🎉

[@thewaxandgreaseremover6182]

Sally, you’re awesome. Thank you for this ❤

[@rachelshirley8403]

Great video Sally! "Not afraid..." I'll keep this message close! xx

[@sallymcraestrength]

thank you for watching Rachel =) yes.....stay courageous!!

[@adamtyson1257]

Great stuff, thanks for sharing, you are such a role model to us all.

[@sallymcraestrength]

thanks Adam

[@Meredith_Feira]

I needed this video! I have such a “go go go” attitude, that sometimes I forget that my recovery efforts will also make me stronger in the long run. Loving your channel so far! I love your podcast, but let’s just say I’m a visual learner. So I’m digging it 😜

[@sallymcraestrength]

thanks for watching, Meredith!

[@dianafrederiksen7525]

You are amazing - I love the way you explain things. You are a wonderful blessing. Thank you for sharing it with us

[@sallymcraestrength]

youre welcome - thanks for watching!

[@Roman-vg2xc]

Thank you for this video, I am on the road to a journey of my own so this is exactly the video I needed to see. Thank you and keep living and thriving;)

[@gerardomata.costarica]

I learn so much from the questions:) thank you for doing this team!

[@matthewvanleeuwen9086]

Another great video!

[@sallymcraestrength]

thank you!

[@jenniferschwegler7831]

Such a great video Sally!! Being a runner for about 15 years now and having my share of injuries from a weaker left side, I love seeing you lay out your recovery. I loved seeing you work with your PT friend too, she looks amazing!! I had a major accident with one of our cows last summer and broke most of my ribs and am a little jealous of how she works through your back! It's amazing how much I have learned about my body through injuries and working back to full mobility and strengthening weaknesses. Anyway, thank you for all you do! I'm running the Sedona 125 and I hope to see you out there, unless you've already passed when we start 😉 Have a great rest of your training and best of luck with your summer of 200s!!

[@sallymcraestrength]

Thank you!

Toda una inspiración! Saludos desde Uruguay!

[@MelanieSakowski]

7:47 that O2 lab sounds amazing- I’ve seen a machine similar to this “Pulse” electromagnetic machine used for equine therapy (and tried it on myself after the therapist said he uses it on himself!). Very interesting!

[@sallymcraestrength]

yah it's awesome....feels awesome my low back- where I need it the most

[@norbutsering1318]

3 Donuts XD! Love your videos, Sally!

[@sallymcraestrength]

ha ha...ALL THE DONUTS!

[@miguelsoto3892]

Stay on the grind 💪!

[@mara434]

Keep the videos consistent, this channel is going to blow up

[@CarolineLegare]

You are goals! I get so excited to see you’ve posted a new video. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@sallymcraestrength]

thanks for watching, Caroline!

[@dom19ar05]

Great video highlighting the hard work over the years and how that is contributing to your success. Thank you for the content and I look forward to more.

[@Kelly_Ben]

Aggressively attacking recovery... I need to adopt that attitude. My recovery after races is just not running. Not a great method. I need one of those crazy blue back things too! I would love a full prefab PT session, too uncover/ fix all of my issues. A half hour massage twice a year will have to do! 😆

[@Christianwomenspodcast]

I would love to see a recovery vlog that starts as soon as you cross the finish line

[@EmmaEdinburgh]

Loving your videos, they are really inspiring. Roll on Cocodona!!

[@sallymcraestrength]

Thanks Emma!

[@JPiazza791]

I love the Rattle & Hum shirt!!!

[@sallymcraestrength]

such a good album!

[@Terrilyn_Austen]

OMGI thought i was crazy?! After my first ultra the next few days I wanted bread, cheese, and potatoes? Like I late those 3 things for every meal! Glad you said you do that too. I thought I had scarred my tastebuds for life lol

[@MelanieSakowski]

18:10 indomitable spirit!

[@angistone-macdonald6283]

Can you tell us what the funky blue thing is for your back and where to get it? Love your videos.

[@PetKatFizz]

@SallyMcRae yes, would love to know what it's called. Did some Googling to try and find it but wasn't hitting the right keywords to see it.

[@runwithbritters]

Also curious! I could totally use one!

[@sallymcraestrength]

It's called a Fanlecy Neck & Shoulder Relaxer

[@ashleymiller8571]

What are your fav exercises to combat runners' knee? And how many days a week should runners do S&C? I'm 35, relatively fit, and train for various 10ks and HMs, but I continue to have random a flare-up of runners knee. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@sallymcraestrength]

I have a whole category in my running and strength app called STRONG KNEES and there's several workouts in there that I personally do to keep my knees enduring. If you don't have my app you can try it for free for 7 days and see all those workouts; the link is here in the show notes!

[@PickleStan]

I ran Cross Country Jserra Freshman year! I’m ultra training now! Go Lions!

[@KeepHealthy]

You are so great!

[@sallymcraestrength]

Appreciate the kindness! thank you for watching!

[@KeepHealthy]

@@sallymcraestrength You Are Welcome 🤗

[@saraeppenbaugh4956]

How do you schedule your leg days in your training week? Any tips? I always end up running the long run on sore and recovering legs! Still can’t figure it out!

[@sallymcraestrength]

Hey Sara! thank you for watching- you have a great question; and it's a very popular one too. We are going to tackle that in one of the episodes but for now, I will say that it's a progressive build, much like your long runs...little by little you build to longer mileage. What I've noticed is that I can lift and handle way more weight and running than when I first started...I was sore after short lifts but not anymore. Also, I do prioritize each workout's purpose. If I want to run a fast, hard workout then I lift AFTER the run but if im doing race assimilation then I'll purposely trash my legs then go for a long run. Key is to stick to the purpose of that day's workout. More to come!

[@MelanieSakowski]

This is very helpful: build gradually, dose-appropriately and implement intentionally. Thank you, coach!❤ I was wondering the same thing, Sara 😊

[@_jandjdesigns]

@@sallymcraestrength thank you for your guidance! I’m binging all your content. So grateful for you sharing your journey. You are amazing. Go one more 💪🏼❤️

No way has she bossed some Hip Thrusters with some Dumbell Presses at the same time. Flabbergasted but very impressed. Bravo Sally.

[@runningwithrhyno1525]

Where can I get one of those weirdly shaped back thing?

[@sallymcraestrength]

[@RealStrategyGamingClassics]

I have neuropathy i really wish i could do the training to lead to a 100 miler or even 1/4 that. I only do what I can without the muscular pain. But im glad to be running at all after i couldnt run after blood clots.

[@manuel_877]

Hi everyone from 🇪🇸. Like to Sally McRae. A nice weekend for everyone. 🌤️🏃🌤️

Silly question...but where can we find the Nike trail hats and gear you wear?

Im here for all the sick nike gear

[@justapedn1]

Love me some postrace cheeseburgers.

[@sallymcraestrength]

[@tammyjams22]

I broke my ankle 3 years ago and I am just now training just a half marathon, ran 8 miles. My ankle is so sore that I am concerned that I will not be able to run the marathon without pain. I have 2 months before the marathon. I am using ankle wraps and icing it. Do you think I’m screwed? Any ankle pain tips besides wraps and icing? I hope I can run

[@laurencharltonn]

Are there any shoes you recommend for a better recovery?

[@gillonblank]

In Long races with a lot of Vert you will be hiking. Other than the strength training, what specifically are doing to hike faster and longer?

[@tylerpugliese7668]

What’s that blue back thing called?!

[@sallymcraestrength]

It's called a Fanlecy Neck & Shoulder Relaxer

[@JamesJones-r8r]

How many miles per week of volume do you do/expect to do when training for a 100miler?
