My Girlfriend Kicked My Butt! The Caballo Blanco Ultra Marathon 2023

[@duzer]

I forgot to add this, but Amelia ran 8hours, 20 minutes and got 3rd place. BOOM!! Also, if you’ve never read the book, Born to Run, I highly recommend it-even if you don’t like running, it’s a great adventure story.

[@tubesockets120v]

Congratulations Amelia 👏👏💯

As a US citizen who loves Mexico and her people, thank you for spreading the word that what we see on the news is an unfair portrayal of that nation as a whole. You’re a wonderful ambassador representing American athletes, as well. Speaking Spanish,embracing the culture and making friends. Thank you for taking me along on an amazing adventure.

Amelia back in the videos + Ryan being Ryan with a personality second to none + Beautiful scenery + Amazing culture and people + Happy kids enjoying life and embracing health and fitness. Awesome is an understatement! I reallllyyyy need to break my comfort zone and get out there and start living more. Thanks Ryan for such amazing, positive, and motivating videos. :)

Hello Ryan. I just "run into" your Caballo Blanco ultramarathon videos and man I really enjoyed all of them. Emilia is just gorgeous and a warrior. I am a "could have been a good runner" but now I am caught in the 9 to 5 daily grind you know. Man the Copper Canyon views are awesome. I did the Chihuahua Pacifico train years ago and I know where you are running, just grueling. Plus you are filming, cheering and narrating. Thank you for promoting my country. I hope in the future I can go there and get to meet you and some of the Muchos Locos doing that race. No one can beat you on getting fun, one can really see you love what you do. You are blessed. Say hi to the Raramuri people for me. Take care man. P.S.. That "hola vaca" was epic, I spilled my tea all over.

[@rudycarrizales885]

My daughter Amy is a 5k runner Who just did the Yosemite half marathon. Any training advice is greatly aappreciated. Greetings from California

[@racefast64]

I enjoyed your video about my people. My great grandfather moved to Chino, California somewhere around 1903. It’s known for sure he bought land there in 1906 for $6 an acre. Recently I’ve been looking for a way to give back to the community around the race. It’s exactly what I need for my mental health. Thanks again for the positive video. There’s another side to this story and the struggles of the Raramuri.

[@MrGavers]

You’re an inspiration Ryan! The love you show for the Mexican culture is truly amazing! Great video!

[@duzer]

Thanks! Mexico is my happy place :)

[@hibiru6868]

I'm still in the first ten minutes, but the comments about Mexico in my experience are spot on. I've been to Mexico a lot due to work and I've got to see their personal and work cultures. It's not perfect, but I've never experienced a culture that was. What I found is that the people were kind and helpful. There are definitely those that aren't, and I DO NOT enjoy driving there :), but my experiences were always mostly positive.

[@jimspies2775]

I started watching your channel because of the biking videos, as a fellow biker and aspiring tourer. However, as a former runner that is kinda starting again as my kids start doing 5ks, I think I enjoy your running videos even more! So much joy!

[@duzer]

I love hearing this, thank you! I wish your kids all the best on their running journeys (and yours too)

[@josephesalmoran6797]

I started the other way around lol. I started watching because of the running videos and it got me hooked into running just finished my 1st marathon, and now I just bought my first bike to start biking!

It made my weekend and thank you so much for sharing. The Mexican people are kind and warm. You are a great couple and I wish you both the very best for the future. Yeah, she did kick your butt but in a good way!

"It's gonna open up a whole new world!" I couldn't think of a better analogy for beans honestly. There is no way I would finish that race. Not because I couldn't, but because a food stand got in my way. I'd happily trade a medal for some of that food!

[@reasonmattersmost]

Amelia is like I was with Ultras. I was always used to running races that at many points in the race you are alone for miles. This is waaay too social for me. But it certainly matches your spirit Ryan. I swear you should tack on an extra 5 miles to what you actually ran with all your cheering! You made me tired...but also can't help but smile. Looks like fun.

I'm from Denver (DTC area) and looking to run this next year! Been on my bucket list for years and you are "making it float to the top with your videos!" Thanks! How do you train for this in colder temps and less daylight so when you show up the 80+ temps are not so bad? Curious of your mileage and type of miles you do training up to this as well? I'm just looking to finish. I have lots of marathons under my belt (most at 3:30 or faster), but this is a different animal (and I'm older now), so trying to gather insight from someone with your experience.
