We love you coach sage

[@RunningWildSandi]

You're making me already miss summer! Appreciate you capturing the memories!

[@runningman4459]

Wow, what scenery. Amazing place.

[@pickelbarrelofficial1256]

easy stephen!

[@Vo2maxProductions]

🤣...only said that like a dozen times!!

[@nv3831]

Really want to do this! Thanks for the inspiration

[@Dora-bmrwarrior]

I'm really enjoying this series. Brings back memories of when I lived in a tent outside of Telluride for about 5 months, many years ago. The town was quite different then; not too much wealth yet and it was wild and crazy lol. I can't rock scramble anymore like you guys do, but you always inspire my old butt to keep hitting the trails. Great filming and editing job as always!

[@lmbraga]

"Easy Stephen!" for some reason that made me laugh.

[@hibiru6868]

I love seeing the look of bliss on your faces as you hit the "flow" state where it feels like you're running with almost no effort.

[@shellideckert4735]

Wow! Great job!! 🏔️⛰️

[@DRBG444]

Another beautiful piece, Sage! I work in mental health and have had my own personal mindfulness practice that started 26 years ago. Now I am in a year long training to be able to offer it to my patients as well. Your videos, the commentary and visuals, are a master class in mindfulness, Sage. Doesn't always have to be in the quiet of our own sanctuaries, but also in nature's sanctuaries, to be enjoyed and honored with loved ones! Thank you for continuing to offer this, especially for those of us shorter distance runners who admire long trail running from far away! Kudos to you, Sandi, Stephanie and Stephen, you all make a wonderful team! And your footwork is incredible btw 🤩

[@Vo2maxProductions]

Awesome to hear and congrats! Glad you like the video content too!

[@britd0g]

Thanks for filming this. Great to review through your lens. I ran CW almost to Handies in Sept, until my stomach shit the bed. Looking forward to going back and finishing the last 40ish from Handies to Sherman and on to the end. Also, coincidentally, you were running this when I was just to the east doing the High Five 100.

[@ianrussell2035]

Great footage Sage nice work

[@KTravRuNEr]

I want to do this. You two should host a small trail run group of same ability along this. I would totally sign up!!!!

[@Vo2maxProductions]

good idea!

[@raynal5275]

Rad! My backyard!! 🤘🤘

[@juliepowellco]

Very cool! Really enjoying these vids. A couple of my friends and I did Soft Rock this year the week of the race, but in the CW direction.

[@Scaythedhyponeros]

Great footage Sage cheers! So you don't elevate the heel that much on slow run eventually ?

[@CoolInOlympia]

I love my Speedgoat 5's!

[@RyanBransonTK]

I know tons of people complete Hardrock every year--but how do you handle those crazy technical pass summits? I watched your other video from Telluride -> Silverton and I've been up on Grant-Swamp Pass. It's SO loose and feels kind of dangerous. Even with poles and trail runners I was slipping all over the place. And then I just see you FLY down Kroegers like its nothing. I'm a new-ish trail runner and I have the endurance to do 15+ miles in the San Juans--but I've seen both of these videos and those sketchy passes scare the hell out of me lol. Any soft rock section you recommend to avoid any sketchy technical sections?

[@dann5480]

Hey there Sage. I have a qualifying race that I have to run to get selected for a position. Its for a distance of one mile to be completed in 6 minutes 30 seconds. I know its a piece of cake for you and most runners, but I'm a beginner. Any tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated. How should I go about preparing for it? Should I start with low heart rate training? Thanks in advance!

[@Vo2maxProductions]

depends on your running history (age and experience level). And how much time you have to prepare? But yes, generally start with low intensity (lower HR) running and try to build up your aerobic base first as a much as possible. But stay healthy! Speed/Intensity can and should come in later to prepare as the Mile still has some anaerobic component to it.

[@dann5480]

​@@Vo2maxProductionsThanks so much for the reply Sage. I am in my late 20s and have about a month to prepare. I will start working on building my aerobic base right away. Immensely appreciate you taking the time to help beginners like me. Your channel has been incredibly helpful. Keep up the great work. Cheers.

[@strund0]

How do you deal with water on long runs like these ? i've only 2 flasks but it's not enough sometimes and can quickly be heavy if i bring more

[@Protest1993]

i thought for a moment that i am watching a mediocre amateur vid there. same beat 👏👏 love it though 😁

[@CoolInOlympia]

What poles do you and Sandy like????

[@Vo2maxProductions]

We use Leki FX one super lights.....fixed length. I used to have some Black Diamond Carbon Zs as well. The straps on both took some getting used to!

[@CoolInOlympia]

@@Vo2maxProductions Thanks!

[@CoolInOlympia]

How long did Day 2 take you?

[@Vo2maxProductions]

Total time was a little over 5 hours....which included a lot of stops for filming etc.

[@CoolInOlympia]

Sure is beautiful, isn't it?????
