Running 50 MILES in 12 Hours

Here's my biggest day of training before my backyard Ultramarathon. 12 laps of 4.1 mile loops on the hour every hour for 1/2 a day. Enjoy!

great to see you uploading again! I think you're going to smash 100 miles and beyond!

[@elijahorr]

Can't wait for it

[@patrickcadiz6865]

Was looking forward to this vid after seeing the Strava just casually dropping 51 miles keep it up!

[@elijahorr]

hahahah thanks man!

[@artyomsadov992]

wow the sunset at 7:50 looks insane!

[@runningwoman7207]

Awesome! Great job! That’s some BIG miles & big calories! What a beautiful sunset!

[@elijahorr]

A nice sunset always helps through the pain

[@mariefrench916]

Wow, that sky on lap 11 🤩 well done you are amazing. X

[@MuseFoxs]

Great to see some race day strategy and nutrition! I know you said that you wouldn't want to do a full day of eating, but it would be nice to see an updated grocery hall so that we can see what you eat more on a weekly basis to support all of this training.

[@tec2224]

Always get so excited when you upload videos!

[@oatmeal4life441]

You made 50 miles look easy! And that pinkish red sunset with the palm trees was amazing. Great job and best of luck on the race!!

[@jonathan889]

been waiting for a new vid youre in great shape my friend crush that race

[@tomasdalponte733]

Wowo man, that's a great workout pre Ultra. If you allow me, I would like to give you three pieces of advice for the race: 1) Nutrition while you run: you can try to carry a soft flask or 250/300 ml bottle with water and a gel to drink 10/20 minutes into your run. 2) Nutrition between loops: since when you run you eat something sweet, something salty can be used here to avoid getting cloying. Don't rule out using salt pills (it could be one every hour or two) and caffeine pills (Ultra runners recommend between 50 and 100 mg per hour for someone your build). 3) Pacing: if you find it "uncomfortable" to go 9:00-10:00 min/mile, you can try alternating 4 minutes jogging at a speed that is comfortable for you without wearing yourself out with a minute of walking. I don't know if any of this that I learned running some Backyard Ultras and attending others will help you, but I hope you have success in your career. It's great to see you uploading again!

I didn’t know jimmy g grew his hair out

[@dominofuel8050]

Great work, that looked hard! Having done a few of these style races myself, my number one advice would definitely be to slow down quite a bit. Most people out there will be walk/running the laps anywhere from 45-55 minutes to minimize that fatigue, even the pros running for days on end. Keep it easy and fun and stay fueled, you're gonna kill it!

[@HDPew]

Absolutely amazing work mate! What an inspiration

[@elijahorr]

Thanks brother!

[@gueenvictoria64]

You have really grown up....... looking like a grown man. Glad you r still running. # Time Waits 4 None Of Us ❤

[@Laver1969]

Love this sooo much. Thanks for sharing your practice run

[@elijahorr]

Thanks for watching it! Stoked to race soon!

[@teresaorr503]

I wish you all the best on your ultra. Please be safe. Loooooove

[@mariokartman10]

Loved watching the video and wish you the best in your backyard ultra! Just curious, on average how many days a week do you stretch and for how long?

[@hmunoz314]

Another cool thing about these type of ultras is that your aid is every 4 miles and if you feel like crap one loop, you can recover fast on the second. Can't wait how you perform man!

[@antoniopadilla6343]

Great job by the way

[@KidCodyRunning]

super excited to meet you at babbits! im a sedona local and will be competing at babbits again this year. Look for a big purple tent with Sedona Scorpion Logo on it! :)

[@JohnnyMelwood]

There he is! Lap 11 sky was amazing. How was Hood to Coast?

[@antoniopadilla6343]

I’m running my first 50 mile ultra marathon on Saturday. I can’t wait. Wish me luck

[@jnewsom1979]

Evening lighting is majestic......

[@rachelcroft3893]

I did my first backyard last week, definitely needed way more salt Goodluck on yours

[@elijahorr]

Salt is the 🔑

[@nimagholipour]

Bro missed your videos. Keep in touch

[@CassieHW]

The burgers made it all worth it 😂

[@JustMorals]

Nice job bud

[@pete801]

Definitely want to do the really long runs with a fully loaded vest on. A couple of kilos makes a big difference on your gait and smashes everything. I'm sure you know that because you're a quality runner.

[@LuisRodriguez-ru5qi]

Serious question: You appeared to be under fueled by the end. Why not eat more between laps? For example, why not eat a burger or a pizza slice between each lap or every 2-3 laps?

[@jimwaxer8166]

I would need to choose a route with multiple toilet options. Stomach issues would be almost half the issue with this challenge.

[@shredit4983]

amazing, I wonder how many hours you slept afterwards

[@michaels4868]

76 000 steps is insanity 😅😅😅

[@enocespinoza7575]

Minute 1:48😂😂

[@cyclist5000]

Have you noticed any differences in health, energy, running, recovery etc since you now include more meats and animal products in your diet?

[@elijahorr]

The energy is much more consistent throughout the day for sure
