"Soft" UTMB (Tour du Mont Blanc Trail) DAY 3: Courmayeur to Champex Lac! Sage Canaday Running VLOG!

[@TheFODRunner]

Oh wow that drone footage with the mountains in the background just blew my mind 🤯 fair play sage 👏

[@Azer_GG]

Everytime Sage bumps into cows "Don't worry I'm vegan" 😂😂😂

[@innemannen]

"It's alright I'm vegan" got me

[@christopheredwards7330]

Thanks for mentioning the hotel. That’s really helpful. Good work. Next time you’ll have to stop in Le Tour to say hi.

[@davidbaker5725]

Thanks for making this series of videos !!! It’s great to see the UTMB course in such detail over several days! Looks like you had a great time!

[@richardvanliessum4346]

Drone shots, I just leave it there. So cool.

[@kristoffortie5601]

Yeah indeed. CCC takes a longer route out of Courmayeur to Tête au Tronches a bit higher up, before it comes down to Refuge Bertone from behind those rock-slide barriers. From there on the route is identical. Really, really enjoying the series you are making!! It might help me finally convince some friends to do the route fastpacking style. I wish you a great run this year, after all the challenges you & Sandy have overcome.

[@ombakyoga898]

Great views sage. Don't worry about your lungs for utmb. Go easy at start, your legs will be stronger at the end. Use your weekness to be better!! I want to believe...

[@kokopelli2764]

Thanks for bringing us with you Sage, your passion for what you do is so special

[@jeffw654]

I asked the receptionist and he said that he was a Nike Vaporfly guy. So that explains it!

[@MaxRothFitness]

Would be such a mind blowing place to live.. WOW

[@JoshLruns]

It was cool to see that runner come up behind you wanting to hold the camera. I wonder if you ran into Ben Parkes when he was out there.

[@hibiru6868]

Thanks for sharing that amazing looking place with us!

[@tednruth453]

Spectacular Scenery Sage 🌼

[@pausague2562]

Let's go Sage!!

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

Seeing part of the section from Orsieres to Champex Lac brough me memories when I did OCC race in 2016. That first climb was fun as an appetizer for my race, nice to see the trail all empty for yourself. Amazing views coming in the next section from Champex to Trient.

[@richardstevens7213]

That was a great watch. 👍

[@mdny7788]

This is one of the best videos of your channel

[@79devo]

Not as uptight as in the past. You’re relaxed 🙏🏻 ! A good thing …

[@dempseydoodle2010]

Just over a week until I get back to France to do the much slower version of this 4 day loop. Thanks for these videos!

[@nicomastropietro3996]

Ciao, Sage, buongiorno! Thank you so much for this series of videos.

[@Jaqaroo]

That was great Sage! Loving this day-by-day running vlog of the UTMB course.

Love that series!

[@ivanmillar675]

Beautiful video Sage, bravo 👏

[@caderik1386]

Amazing scenery and unique opportunity to see through all these sections how hard the UTMB really is.

[@tiffanybrantley23]

I am so very much enjoying this series! Thank you for sharing!

[@EverythingWasGreat]

The trails looks extremely nice almost like fine gravelroads. Great views, fingers crossed for good weather at utmb.

[@Zimmi1989]

The drone shots are amazing and respect for carrying the thing all the way! :D

[@Movtail]

Another great video, really inspiring mountain views. On my bucket list.

[@robturner724]

Loving these Sage

[@Lion_McLionhead]

Sounds pretty involved, booking a bunch of hotels & airplanes in advance based on expected running speed. Then the entire trip to Europe can only be with what's in your backpack.

[@runfrankfurt]

Thanks again for taking us along on these runs. 👍🏻 Really enjoying this type of content.

[@Shevock]

Great views!!!

[@sanjaikic9114]

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video and your training,beautiful place.

[@RHEwithalex]

Great doc Sage! Great doc Sage!

[@nberkel]

Stunning! Love following along the journey 👍🏼

[@astralth]

Great series, and especially nice footage from the drone in this one !

[@ianlee7786]

Thanks for making these videos. The views are incredible, particularly the drone shots. Best of luck with training.

[@seangrams7502]

This has been awesome to watch! Thanks so much for filming and posting these videos.

[@Rick999888]

Really good content, you running and telling stories from your races. Beautiful views as well.

[@nealwailing3870]

Now, I feel I don't have to go myself; seen it, done it...

[@colmobrien8904]

Really enjoyed this, best of luck at utmb

[@obsidiantain]

Awesome stuff, again! A great little series. Really pumped for UTMB, wishing you all the best!

[@goggleboy2464]

Molto Bella!

[@50Something]

That was amazing way to start the day over coffee! You have motivated me to go out and try some trail running but I'll leave the beer until after🤣

[@Highnoonshred]

Looks fun!

[@chris.schmied]

Great video again!! Def. one of my favorite video series this year :))

[@kevinkrayna3097]

Avery IPA! A little touch of Colorado, far from home. A very nice, light video Sage, thank you!!

[@vantage4524]

"little rude to me, but no worries there" 😂

[@dougpow9462]

Thanks Sage for the course preview. I'm running CCC and it good to see some of the course before the race.

[@danieljstad]

Realize the first climb is not the same, CCC goes higher

[@amazanto]

Amazing, thanks for sharing your journey with us!

[@svenja5596]

Love this series! 😍👌

[@adamtyson1257]

Great stuff and fabulous views, have enjoyed the traveling, can you put out a list of the places where you stayed. Thanks for sharing!

[@PauloPereira-he6hl]

Thanks for the amazing video 💪

[@FarfurBridie]

Stunning views the whole way and great to see a lot of the sections of trail we see on the UTMB coverage in more detail.

[@nizam_mr]

hope one day i can make it there, even for CCC. looks beautiful 🙂

[@pimacanyon6208]

stunning scenery! Lucky you to be running thru that. And you had the weather for it. 🙂

[@silverdesk72]

Great film. Beautiful cinematography.

[@marathontrainingwithivan]

Beautiful scenery! I like also to hear the stories of your previous participation in the UTMB and that you can revisit these places like this! This is the 3th time you are going for the utmb?

[@Vo2maxProductions]

yes for me 3rd start at UTMB

[@coolhatadventures8111]

Sage, I pray that you have a much better race this year!!!

[@Damo_GingerMarmot]

Loving this series Sage. Just tried to do a similar effort on the Haute Route in Switzerland over 9 days. It was a tad more challenging than last year's effort at a 5 day soft utmb route. If anyone is interested in a version of soft utmb, refuge mottet was a highlight for me. For the Haute route I made it from Cabanne louvie to Cabanne Dix, two amazing locations

[@Vo2maxProductions]

The Haute Route is a bucket list adventure for me to try to do one year!....you have to book the huts very far in advance, right?

[@Damo_GingerMarmot]

@@Vo2maxProductions my buddy booked huts as he lives near Lausanne. If you fast pack it you are looking at 3 huts max. Cabanne Dix is off the beaten track and the best. In terms of Cabanne Louvie it's also slightly off beaten track for haute route but is very accessible for those doing one or two night trips or even a short hike up from the village of Fionnay. We skipped Cabanne Mont Fort and Cabanne Prafleuri as do don't work for fast hike and are bit too busy... We booked about 3 months in advance and cancelled Europaweg at short notice The Schwarzberg in Gruben is a lovely pension (with dorm as well as private room option) you would probably blast by Gruben and make it to Gasenried... Europaweg is popular so needs to be booked a few months in advance but you may not stay there pending on itinerary. I'm a few craft beers deep currently so might be better placed at another stage to advise further

[@chrismackenzie28]

Absolutely stunning scenery, great video

[@Gasperracing]

Shot to the homie with god energy flying in with the film cameo 🙌🏼 that was an amazing moment

[@Noodlyk18]

Amazing views, really missed watching your videos. I've been watching again after a long hiatus due to me not running (disc herniation). Hope I can back to it soon, doctor doesn't want me running for a little while still, but I ain't giving up. And good luck to you!

[@andisulu2847]

Get well soon!

[@Vo2maxProductions]

hope you feel better soon! thanks!

[@StreamCrossingRunner]

Thanks for taking us along - so helpful as I plan my own soft utmb in the next month. Pulling for you during utmb

[@Nono-de3zi]

Man, if you think the climb out of Courmayeur is tough, please do the CCC! Much longer and tougher. And by the way, you would rock the CCC. But those views between Bertone and Col Ferret... they're burnt in my brain for life! Nothing ever came close (admittedly, I did not run Hard rock or any race in the himalayas)

[@hansschenker]

Sage as always cool video and a long day! Little correction - these are sheeps not goats! - Orsiere is pronounced "Orsiair" in english! Good luck on UTMB 2022!!!

[@Vo2maxProductions]

good catch...those are sheeps 😂!

[@RemiLeroux]

Great video, nice to see the course and hear about your past experiences. I was wondering what shoe you were planning to use for the race? I'm running the OCC and am hesitating between the Torrent and the Tecton X. Thanks!

[@danifolgado]

Nice 👍

[@thestreakpodcast]

Brilliant series. The guy said, "I'm running with my wife. We're doing the tour over 5 days."

[@clarklight2918]

lol maybe the checkout dude is team Salomon or Team North Face 😂😂

[@chch242]

Can we get the end of the story when you laid down next to the trail exhausted? I hate cliffhangers :-)

[@Vo2maxProductions]

oh I got back up and finished....but it was a lot of walking and stopping in aid stations. I think like 12-20 guys passed me just in Switzerland.

[@cpruns4501]

Amazing video!!! Those views.....oh those views. I love your attitude and how you just love this stuff so much. It's infectious. Regarding that check out person I bet he hated you. Miserable people can't stand people like you. Especially when they see you about to enjoy an amazing day in the mountains. His Xbox controller probably craped out this morning:)

[@doofenshirtzful]

What's the model of the backpack ? 10x

[@Vo2maxProductions]

CAMELBAK octane series....25L

[@danielhall2049]

Brilliant - the scenery, the trail and the film making. Thanks for sharing this with us Sage. Do you have a target time for your UTMB this year?

[@Vo2maxProductions]

1. Goal 1 is to Just Finish, 2. Goal two is to beat my time from 2017 (disaster of a race for me)...so sub 26 hours. Goal 3. is to go sub 24 hours though (and place top 20)...better yet would be like 22 hours though! Any of those is going to require a lot of pain and suffering and it's going to be hard...but I'll try!

[@danielhall2049]

@@Vo2maxProductions Will be following and cheering you on! Hope this year it all comes together for you

[@ultrarunneradam]

So engrossed I burnt my toast 😂😂

[@2487jemma]

Love this series. What pack were you wearing? Thanks xx

[@Vo2maxProductions]

CamelBak Octane Series 25L

[@jes6266]

Sage were you finished your story when you had to lay down beside the trail? I wanna know what happened You were interrupted by the guy who filmed you for a bit haha

[@markkendhammer5932]

What running vest do you have on?

[@Vo2maxProductions]

new CamelBak prototype...hopefully coming out soon!
