You are the definition of inspirational dude! Could not have picked worse conditions - pouring rain, starting in the pitch black... and managed to get it done in 6hr 34! You're amazing bro!

[@SotaMaehara]

[@digthegrig]

Congrats Sota! That was an outstanding effort last week!

[@SotaMaehara]

Thank you Grigory!

[@msl758]

Solid run thanks so much for uploading. I think i've done every bit of the route but never in my wildest imagination could I attempt it in one go. Great footage and really cool to see it from your perspective. In a way the rain helped you avoid some pretty serious crowds especially near Shelley Beach. Could've watched the whole 7 hours if i'm honest. Subscribed

[@SotaMaehara]

That's true, I was thinking that, the rain must've kept a few people away! I think the production quality of my vids will only get better moving forward, and hopefully we'll have some more epic camera angles and shots! But this was nice as well, it was authentic, raw and in the action

[@H.KH44N]

Awesome stuff brother!

[@SotaMaehara]

Thanks so much!

[@leslie7922]

Everyone: ill run with you to help with video and nutrition what pace will you be doing? Sota: low 4s Everyone: 💀 ⚰

[@SotaMaehara]

All the best with it!

Hey Sota-san! Love the content. Randomly stumbled across your KZbin channel after it popped up on my home page recommendations. I'm the guy that bought the couple of Japanese baseball hats from you - didn't know what an epic runner you were! Have just subscribed and looking forward to your future videos!

Wow what a coincidence haha! Thanks so much for subscribing

[@JasonHindley]

Your support crew is so wholesome! In ideal world, what would you have done to prevent the injury?

[@SotaMaehara]

Because I had very little time to get into this shape because of a prior injury (which was the same thing on the other leg), I had to do some aggressive training (quick build up, lot's of threshold and elevation to get to this stage, and doing this 80k was the icing on the cake to flare up the injury properly Next time I'd be more conservative with the training. And also, I think I just need a couple more years of improving in the 5 and 10k in order to become a good ultramarathoner

[@calvus]

The australian edition of Forest Gump, people joining you at different legs haha awesome work!

[@SotaMaehara]

[@Andrewmcgregor2024]

lucky I found this chanel and subscribe straigh away. You are legend bro. Btw how do you find the rute so well without wrong direction or trap on a wrong way on dark early morning run

[@SotaMaehara]

Hey Andrew, thanks so much for subscribing! I've run this route so many times in training (parts of it) to get familiar with it, and also there's an app called Gaia GPS that you can get on your phone and import a gpx file to make sure you're going the right way This was a run that I had to practice a lot in training to make sure I knew where to go on the day of this actual run

[@Andrewmcgregor2024]

@@SotaMaehara wow..is great. Thank you for replying to my question, and I will follow your advice for my training next Sydney marathon 2025. This kind of helps me to find a route without going to the wrong direction
