Trail RUNNING in MALLORCA - Training for the MOZART 100 2019 - S2 E6

[@nikfarrant1640]

Fantastic thanks for sharing wow those views

[@MuseRunner]

Haha! I parked in that same car park yesterday for a test run as Galatzo trail marathon this weekend. Top work team

[@DanRuns]

I'm hoping to get out to Mallorca in May or June this year. I normally stay in Can Pastilla but i'll take a look into other areas. Thanks for the footage!

[@BenParkes]

Will no doubt be much warmer then!! Was about 2 degrees standing on that mountain in the video! Have an amazing trip Dan 🙌

That's so cool that you are coming to Austria for the Mozart. I did the small one last year and it was a very relaxed atmosphere. However with a pace like yours it's probably a race for the top position.

I got a new garmin running watch for my birthday and I am loving it! It has encouraged me to run more! I think I am going to start planning and training for specific races and distances as well❤ the trail looks beautiful that you ran on! Stay strong and keep running!💪

[@BenParkes]

Always a big motivator when you get a new watch!! It really helped me improve my running. Great you’re building up now. All the best! 🙌

Stephen Scullion is a Northern Irish runner aiming for a sub 2:10 and Olympics - his journey so far is on Spotify and could be worth a listen! He has a lot of content up (long journey) but some could worth a listen! Another good one is Trained by Nike, also on Spotify! Lot's of talks with elites on training (and recovery) and what they're doing at the very top, quite interesting as a non-sport-specific podcast...

[@nberkel]

What a run! Awesome effort and great scenery!

[@bryandail1449]

Scenery and terrain amazing! Was in Mallorca 3 years ago, got tired simply driving some of those hills! Try “North” by Scott Jurek.

[@BenParkes]

Thank you Bryan. I have North sitting on my book shelf.. really need to read it!! Appreciate the recommendation. All the best!

An audio book I can’t recommend enough is “can’t hurt me” by David Goggins

[@BenParkes]

That was my first download!! So powerful. Only about 2 hours in so far. Love the way they chat between each chapter. Can’t wait to carry on listening on my next run. Thank you!

Hi Ben - loving the videos. I'm currently training for the Hamburg Marathon (end of April) I have a few weeks left of hard training before I can taper. My PB was 3h28m58 in Paris three years ago but training has been going well and I am hoping for 3h15. I did a 20mile race last week at 7m16 pace. I have to admit I felt OK at that pace but I do keep worrying/over thinking that I am being too optimistic/over reaching. I am running the Coniston 14 mile race in The Lakes this Saturday then my final 2 x long runs will be 19 and 21 miles then taper for two weeks. Watching your videos really does inspire and motivate me to keep going!

[@sark255]

Like usually superb vlog! I'm running in 2 weeks the Arran ultra.. I hope I will survive. now you have a Fenix 5 can you share how you split your screens for trail run.? Also in to which folder you uploading the map's? P.s. I love the motivation quote's in your video, nice touch!

[@BenParkes]

The maps are built into my watch.. no uploading necessary. Lucky to have the Fenix 5+ which has them already. I will add my watch screens to my next video! Thank you. Good luck in the Arran Ultra!! 🙌

[@sark255]
