Running for Days at the 2022 Cocodona 250

[@xXAnthony619Xx]

A lot of ultra runners don't really know how much they inspire me to keep moving forward in my running journey. I'm so happy to be part of the trail running community. Keep being awesome people 😊

[@MichaeMichaelMichael]

Ditto!

[@andreasweng9126]

A lot of ultra runners don't really know how much they inspire me to keep moving forward in every part of my life: husband, father of two boys, scientist, unsalaried kids-soccer-coach and last but not least wannabe-runner. Watching these videos and seeing these people really digging deep makes me happy and shows what human beings are capable of. One more vote from me: Keep being awesome!!!

[@Antoniooooo0]

Same here bro

[@billbraski]

I ran a marathon this last week. 2 days later im driveing down the road and it dawns on me that if i was running an ultra like this I would STILL have been running. Thats wild. Simply wild. 🤘

[@mheise]

As a big guy trying to lose weight and training for a half marathon, this is inspiring. The fact that a human body can endure like this is amazing!

[@nsant]

Keep it up dude

[@joelg4849]

Keep at it man! We believe in you.

[@kellyrodgers9326]

24:41 got in 29 miles for the day. And he’s still working, filming etc. I run 10km and I’m done on a go slow for the rest of the day. These guys are absolute machines!

[@TforTX]

You and your crew did such an amazing job live streaming. I really wish y’all gave Annie Hughes more FaceTime in the stream and in this vid. She’s a beast and deserves more love!!

[@runsteepgethigh]

I didn’t come across her in my time this week as I would have liked and lost some GoPro footage I had

[@zacrezin]

So glad to see this video back up! The Cocodona live coverage was quite the achievement and was wonderful to watch all week long! I can't wait to see what you do in the future for events like this. You have really bitten off a huge technical achievement!

[@nsant]

As someone getting into road biking and just now being able to ride ride 26.2 miles let alone run that far, you runners are absolutely bonkers

[@Damian_Hunt]

Great vid, Jamil is a born narrator, just wished that it was longer (the video, not the race!).

[@gloee8535]

Love the choice of music, the same type of playlists I listen to when I’m forced to do long runs on a treadmill.

[@WayeOfLife]

It is so cool seeing the places you filmed during the course previews, now set up for the race.

[@Dora-bmrwarrior]

Really enjoyed this. Great job, Jamil!

[@MrTCFIRE]

This is the running version of Race Across America...so many stories, just so much of everything...so incredible...

[@DasGrantlock]

Loved the live coverage. Amazing stuff. I want to go so bad next year. Maybe I'll be able to join in by then.

[@davidfecteau1027]

Thank you for posting this Jamil. This is great as usual, and of course, I can't say enough about the awesome live stream coverage

[@alerian4752]

Love the videos. The only criticism I have is that the music is always so much louder than the talking. I turn up the volume to hear what you say and then get blasted by super loud music.

[@TheSocalHandyman]

Great race, would like to see a little more of the runners other than the leaders. Again, great race!.

[@TirnanHealy]

Thanks to you and your crew for making this! Love your vids

[@grennangoeshiking]

I’m curious to what you do for a living. Race director, photographer, I’m trying to figure it out and haven’t yet!

[@ashleydasta1486]

Really enjoyed this video, thank you for it!

[@chones_]

Great content as usual Jamil.

[@WalkingwithWendy]

Amazing! Thanks, Jamil!

[@Bxtskul1l]

150 to go we'll be fine!

[@Simco_]

Love everything you guys put out. This one is a great example of chekhov's gun, though. Was hoping when the original was taken down it was to re-edit. Would love to see a short piece put together of Versteeg or Eric. Has to be enough overall footage from the event to put out multiple videos an I'd watch them all.

[@runsteepgethigh]

I just caught some footage when I could amidst helping product then 100 hour livestream. We will have a full film following one of the runners coming this fall.

[@westongrilloruns]

The section of trail where you paced Senseman, was so scenic…!

[@MichaeMichaelMichael]

Versteeg oozes cool. Almost makes me want to buy some of those $900 shorts.

[@FNGACADEMY]

My guy was in sandals. 🤯

[@bennytdi]

Satisfy Running team are all great

[@smokeystone8005]

Luna sandals are great

[@travymoto1]

This was an awesome watch

[@leocriscuola]

This really makes me want to do this, but haven’t even done a 100 yet.

[@jenniferduncan2074]

Coming back from an injury, see you there in 2024 💥

[@emilytedrowe4441]

Great event, great footage!

[@runslowtorunfast6528]

So good!

[@mikulajsandor]

Smashing video!

[@walterhogie]

Awesome video!!

[@b.mendiola2515]

I got in my first ultra 2 months ago. Nothing like it. It’s horrible yet addicting lol

[@tobinjordan8533]

In may 2022 I could barely run 2 miles without getting out of breath and having to sit down. I used to love running but I suffered with chronic bronchitis for almost a year in 2021-22 which ruined my cardio. Now in October 2022 I just completed my second half marathon, and after watching a lot of ultra marathon vlogs, I feel rejuvenated and want to keep training and maybe get into the trail running scene. Every time I feel like I can’t walk up my stairs because my legs don’t work from a day of strength training I try to be grateful. Grateful that I have legs which allow me to run. I also now focus on turning all my difficult training moments into a reflection of how I’d handle myself if I was running a 100 miler. I feel like I’ve fallen in love with running, and I’d be the luckiest person ever if my body lets me run a 100 mile race in this lifetime.

[@runsteepgethigh]

Thanks for sharing your story! Glad to see you were able to find running and I hope you continue to figure out your health issues!

[@tobinjordan8533]

@@runsteepgethigh Thanks Jamil (and team!). Luckily I’ve continued to get healthier and stronger! Watching your vlogs is a source of major inspiration for me these days, especially when I am feeling weak, sore and demotivated. Thank you for all you do 👏🏻👏🏻

[@escallite]

Wow bro you have copd and you do marathons ?

[@tobinjordan8533]

@@escallite yup! I just make sure I take my albuterol. If I go longer than 2-3 hours bring it with me, or bring it anyway if weather seems triggering

[@escallite]

@@tobinjordan8533 wow fantastic! How many years have you been diagnosed and don’t mind sharing how have you fared since diagnosis? I believe you managed to stop it from progressing ? You’re an inspiration!

[@fabiusmaximus2554]

You are a beast respect ✊🤙👊🙏 Thanks you

[@ambissing]

I think I recognize the guy that gave him the buckle. Is his name Steve?

[@RT-sc8qu]

Hell yeah; Get Some👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸

[@hmunoz314]

4:15 I would like to hear the people's thoughts in the cars as all the runners crossed the street lol

[@AD-xn4yw]

Song beginning around 5:50?

[@darrenroberts1713]

What happened to homeboy in the sandles? I figured he would have been ipushing hard unless he did some other total? My apologies for not remembering his name but I firmly believe he is an all out badass!...!

[@runsteepgethigh]

Michael Versteeg dropped after 60 miles, had an injury going in to the race

[@darrenroberts1713]

@@runsteepgethigh Thank You for the reply! Versteeg, yep, the dude is a bandit!!! Good vid on the race and it looked like a fantastic turnout! Hope Versteeg is doin good, have a shot in honor....🤘🏻🥃

[@ErnieOne]

Don’t you miss your old blue watch?

[@jacoblindquist]

Dope vid

[@cameronmueller]

Can't wait, 39 days out.

[@50mileninja]

What a dream race 🎉has anyone taken part from the U.K. before?

[@agnostichaos]

Epic

[@Courtneydoeswalter]

Am I going to get more than 5 mins in before it gets removed again this time?😂

[@thegreatoutdoors1000]

Think I might sign up

[@LoganWWalsh]

What kind of poles was Eric using? Really interested in that belt/pole holder

[@nmamrak9405]

Leki micro trail pro

[@murdercityjustin]

I think he’s wearing the Rabbit Shredder shorts, they come with those pole straps

[@NK-ib7qh]

10:17 👌🏻👌🏻

[@billys100aolcom]

Epic.....

[@antonrossouw8015]

Unbelievable !

[@durianwalker]

where is the suffering that he went through?

[@ady110fv]

I thought I was doing OK when I do a 40 mile run lol

[@mikekiss648]

why is it that none of these runners know how to use the straps on their poles? put the straps on like across country skier!! No need to grip. Very easy, low effort and effective

[@trailsandbeers]

too many adverts, bye...

[@xGoobeyBearx]

Title should have been: "How to permanently ruin your knee cartilage and guarantee early onset crippling arthritis"

[@susanjane4784]

Made it 12 minutes in and realized that this wasn't racing coverage at all. This was an advertisement. Woefully few landscape shots, and hardly any history, interviews, or status updates. In fact, I suddenly realized, that this is all about where to shoot, what to shoot, where to put up the drone, where to set up, and what the drive access is like. Sure the whole picture, as it were, includes some about the photography, but not this advertisement. Not subscribed. Not going to now. Good luck with your business.

[@runsteepgethigh]

It’s actually a race vlog episode. It’s capturing a bit of my experience filming and covering the race we created and organized. We have a full race film coming out this fall on the event. The “Steep Life” series follows more my day to day life and experiences vs race films. Just some context to consider.
