Running her FIRST 100 MILES | with Oladance Earphones

We teamed up with Oladance to run the Centurion Thames Path 100 mile race and to test out the remarkable battery life on the Oladance Wireless Earphones. It was my wife, Victoria's very first 100 miler and it's safe to say the weather conditions made for one heck of a journey from Richmond in London , past Hampton Court Palace, through Windsor on Coronation Day, Runnymede where the Magna Carta was signed in 1215, on to Henley at half way and Reading before arriving at Oxford.

Have you run the Thames path 100? How did you get on? Also do you wear headphones when you're running? Do you think you'd get on with the Oladance earphones?

[@amygreen1015]

I always wear headphones outside. I like my aftershokz

[@James-nb5ur]

I don’t like headphones or music this should be a meditative tine for vyour self without stimulation or disrtraction good luck Vic and all I was keen to do an Uktra was walk the 10 km Souvtg Down’s path in the year of. My Stroje tgat would still be something I aspire to cibpkete even if I have cto gop! I would be defeated and I cannot be easily beaten down and or put off achieving things. Xxx

good lord guys, could this have come with a tear warning!? Brutal, epic and beautiful all in one go. I am in awe of anyone who can complete 100 miles, let alone in a cut off time. Ultimately you smashed it and Victoria, your "realness" on camera of how you really felt was heartfelt and a true testament to how hard you must have dug deep to get that done. HUGE well done!! x

😢I had some tears escape, what a fantastic achievement especially doing those marathons before. I did the Centurion A100 as my first 100 . Victoria has given me the inspiration to maybe take on the Thames Pathway 2024 - I will be 60 so maybe a "nice" way to mark the occasion 😊

[@FilmMyRun]

Thanks Michelle. Sounds like a fabulous plan to do it when you’re 60

I honestly think the three marathons were basically good training runs for the 100. She did so well. Really proud of her.

[@Steve-vr6mq]

What an awesome achievement. Thank you for sharing this video. This run is on my bucket list for the future. Your grit and determination is inspiring.

You will love it Steve. Flat does not always mean east but it’s definitely worth doing

[@neilcatley9474]

Great video. I finished in about 25hr15, having got to Henley in 10hr10 and with sensible run/walk pacing. The last 30 miles of mud was horrendous. Huge congratulations to both of you for finishing. It was my first 100 too, and watching Victoria's emotions play out in the video really hit home! ❤

Fabulous!! Amazing!! Huge well done to you both, especially Victoria on your first 100miler!! Even when I was a runner my biggest goal was a metric marathon (I 'only' got to a standard HM), I just couldn't imagine the immenseness of that distance!!! I'll stop waffling now 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👟👟🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

[@victoriac2134]

Thank you 😊 with long distance ultras, it’s all about consistency and being able to build up endurance. In my opinion, depending on the effort, any distance can be hard.

[@trailrunningphil]

Im not crying your crying!!!! 😢😅 An amazing video but yeah, it may have put me off doing it!! Be interesting to hear her thoughts once the dust has settled and she has time to reflect and see how she feels about it afterwards. Nice one Stephen 👍

[@FilmMyRun]

I was almost crying with relief at the end. It was a bit of a slog overnight! Vic has already said she understands why people go back and do these things again even though they hated it at the time!!

Thanks Neil. We all love a bit of Derek Road! I mean who calls a road Derek?!!

Wow! Outstanding .. thank you so much for sharing your journey, an amazing video. I blame you both for my growing fascination with ultras. I came across a live stream of the ARC in 2022 and was glued, and then ended up being an Arc Angel in 2023 at Lands End, this just fuels me more to step up and get out there .. very much look forward to seeing what is next for you, and congratulations Victoria on your 100miler finish, amazing.

I'm not 100% sure, but did you get some new earphones? 😂 TP100 was hard work, the mud was a bit of a mare and I picked up an injury which meant I had the hike the last 13 miles. Made it in just under 24hrs, but reckon I'm about 50:50 for SDW100 so the slam may go out the window. May see you at Matterley Bowl...

Did I not mention the new headphones?? I was sure I had. 😂 Anyway I hope you make it to the start of SDW!

[@SciFiScavenger]

@@FilmMyRun hopefully! Congrats to Victoria on her finish, she toughed it out. Many didn't!

[@victoriac2134]

Well done. I hope you’ve recovered well and get to the start line of SDW100.

I love watching these videos. I found Victoria’s steely determination so wonderful and inspiring! I have a question: I started running January 2022 aged 45. I recently did my first two marathons - Manchester 3:35 and Leeds 4:11 (hilly, hot, so tough). I have a couple of 50k ultras in the summer then Thames 100 kilometre in sept. If all that goes ok, do you think it’s too soon to give the Thames 100 miler a bash in 2024? I’m excited to try but also trying to be sensible as I want running to be a lifestyle for the rest of my life. Thanks so much and, again, huge congratulations👍👍👍

[@FilmMyRun]

Hey Conrad! Thank you for your kind words. If all your plans go ok then yes I think you could give the 100 a try. You’ll have had some experience of the flat nature of the path with the 100k so hopefully you’ll have worked out a strategy for dealing with it. It’s not the easiest 100 miler and deserves your respect. But I’m sure you can give it a shot in 2024.

[@conradburdekin722]

@@FilmMyRun I’ll see how the 100k goes. Excited tho! You and Victoria have inspired me

[@conradburdekin722]

@@FilmMyRun which leads me to wonder… which is the ‘easiest’ 100 miler?!

[@victoriac2134]

Stephen’s PB is at SDW100. He assures me that course is easier than TP100!

[@conradburdekin722]

@@victoriac2134 how can that be?! Aren’t there, like, loads of hills?! 😂

[@janerushton2324]

Hey guys, congratulations!!! As an Australian coming come over to do this next year, did you find the course well marked? I won't have a pacer. Are there enough runners around to not feel too alone? Thanks in advance.

[@FilmMyRun]

Hi Jane. Centurion races are always extremely well marked yes. I will be volunteering next year so I will see you there. There will be plenty of runners around although it won’t feel crowded apart from at the start.

[@janerushton2324]

Thank you so much for the info. I'm a bit worried about running through the night and getting lost, but hopefully I can join up with other runners during this time. Hope to you see you out there. 😊

[@victoriac2134]

@janerushton2324 thank you 😊 As Stephen said, the course is well marked. However, I think it would be easy to buddy up with people for the night section. Good luck, I hope you enjoy the route.

[@UltraRunnerMark]

Wow that's alot of mud 😕

[@FilmMyRun]

Mud? Oh I didn’t notice any…..

[@paulmulks]

Hi Stephen, quick question. I'm contemplating doing my first 100 mile event in 2025. Out of all the Centurion 100's on offer which one would you recommend would be the best to do first? I'm looking at the TP 100 and the SDW 100 as my top two however I'd appreciate your feedback from all your experiences. Thank You 🙂 And a MASSIVE well down to Victoria she really is inspirational!

[@FilmMyRun]

Defiiitely SDW100. Better scenery, better weather, better terrain underfoot. Easier to break up into walks and runs than a flat race.

[@paulmulks]

@@FilmMyRun Thank you so much for getting back to me. I did this years 50 for the first time and swore I'd never do it again 🤣 However I'm already getting that bug to go again 🤣

[@victoriac2134]

@paulmulks thank you for your kind words. If it’s any consolation, SDW50 2022 was my first 50. On the last climb, I knew I never wanted to attempt 100 miles! 😂 I agree with Stephen, SDW100 is the nicest. Also, you’ve done the 50 so know what to expect in the second half. Good luck!
