Training for UTMB '17: The Lake Sonoma 50 RACE VLOG | Sage Running

"Alright somebody give me my phone, I gotta upload to strava" 😂😂😂

[@TheGingerRunner]

Great to see you as always, Sage! HUGE congrats on the win :)

[@Vo2maxProductions]

Hey Ethan, Great seeing you guys out there. Excellent work with the film - tell Kim congrats on her race too!

[@troyhelmers7515]

I love the camaraderie the running community seems to inspire. Racers, filmmakers, supporters, runners are really some of the most supportive people I have encountered

[@jp05598]

Little things that make people tick: your mom saying “go sage” is one of the most beautiful things I’ve heard on the internet. You can just hear the enthusiasm and love in her voice, it’s so genuine. You’re very lucky to have such a great support group. I think that’s a very underrated and little talked about aspect of these longer races; those boosts are super important. Doubt you’ll see this bc it’s an older video but maybe an idea for a future video, great job!

[@tubesockets120v]

Whoever keeps yelling "Go Sage!" is great race support.

[@sbsb4995]

Congrats.

[@number1fan262]

Your mom is so adorable! GO SAGE! GO SAGE! :)

[@iaincarroll2260]

Brilliant Sage! A humble, informative and talented runner willing to share his thoughts for others benefits. all the way from Glasgow, Scotland.

[@scottsheridan4800]

Congrats on the win Sage! Couldn't be more deserving!!

[@cms851113]

Congrats Sage! You inspire me....

[@michaelayres5384]

Glad to see you pull out the win - 2016 is in the past! Did you notice that Dakota swapped out his entire pre-packed vest, essentially skipping the aid stations? Having 2-3 pre-packed should eliminate the under-gel issues and cut down on transition time. Enjoy your downtime, looking forward to seeing how your year shakes out!

[@carolinecardullo6463]

way to go Sage.......was rootin' for you as always from 3,000 miles away back East.........rest up and head for the hills.......wahoooo!!!

[@alonsomartinez7000]

"Go Sage!" Is by far the cutest thing I've ever heard

[@willsessions2474]

Congratulations Sage. I'm very proud of you and very pleased with the decision I have made to follow your coaching advice. My running has greatly improved since I have. Peace in your heart. Namaste.

[@justjustjoo]

Dakota clearly had the best strategy. Having multiple vests prepped and just switching the whole vest. very clever.

[@TheMoonSeesMe]

Great race Sage. Have a great break and rest well, we know you will come back firing on all cylinders.

[@BR-lx7py]

Congrats Sage! I like Dakota's aide station strategy. Ever thought of adopting it ? Seemed like a 30-60 second gain every time.

[@ironmantooltime]

Balazs Rau yea it's pretty efficient

[@drvk1982]

Hi Sage! Am a huge fan. Love from India. Congratulations on the win. Good luck for UTMB'17 :-)

[@adamszymanski5573]

Congratulations Sage. You're a real inspiration for everyone on my running team in Montreal.

[@JRJapaneserunnerinUK]

Loving to see all runners just chatting each other after the race ❤️❤️❤️

[@bboy6surme]

Just watched it now, so setisfying to see you winning Sage

[@janvanderwegen01]

I must say: By any measure the most original intro EVER! :)

[@David-te2yp]

I love how you greates dakota at the finish. You are an awesome dude! Thanks for letting us look into your life a little....

[@2600nano]

Killer win Sage, good for you man, you nailed it.

[@ronir.belcheva3731]

Your amazing Sage..it was so great to see you fly by on the course. Rest up!

[@Sawizzard]

Amazing job Sage! You are one of the most inspiring runners of our time. I'm sure you'll do great at the UTMB!

[@Archangeldawn]

4:38 that is some NICE filming! At first I thought it was someone riding in a bicycle, but was like, nawh that path is too narrow. So it must have been a drone!

[@juanantoniomoreno9826]

Crazy stuff!!!... I never understood how is possible to run with so brutal climbing. I love running in forest tracks but I hate hills, so imagine mountains... Congratulations!

[@Patrik34as2]

changing the whole vest seems like a nice time saver at aid stations

[@reedbreuer9947]

You mentioned speeding up your transitions, have you considered using Dakota's strategy of just replacing your pack? I know the pack is a bit of extra weight but you wouldn't have to worry about forgetting anything if you made the packs yourself pre-race. issue would be that if you needed to make a change it would be harder.

[@tomvandeplassche]

In UTMB there is a lot of mandatory equipment which you need to have at every moment (like rain jackets, long pants, security equipment etc.) so that would mean that there you would need to have that in every pack.

[@reedbreuer9947]

Yeah I didn't mean for UTMB specifically, just for other mid-d races like 50mi where wearing a pack is optional

[@tomvandeplassche]

Ah okay my bad. I thought since this series is training for UTMB you meant it for that.

[@kiely4561]

Sage has some powerful looking quads compared to the other guys, well done on the win brother

[@Turnschuhheizer]

sick, good luck in squaw. This Sunday I will try to run my first sub3 marathon in Hamburg.

[@SeaBreezyProject]

Amazing job Sage! You continue to be a huge inspiration to many runners whether it be the ultra community or road racers, you are an amazing role model and your hardwork will pay off this year at UTMB. Best of luck!

[@amkitch43]

Looked like a great day for racing! Congrats on the win!

[@markwilliams845]

[@CAIrondad]

Great footage, great re-cap, Sage. And big-time congrats to you... well deserved win!!!!!!!!!!!! And great job sneaking in all the sponsor plugs! Ha ha ha...... (gotta do it!)

[@hlynurolason3329]

Congrats on the win Sage!!!!!

[@hiroaono1205]

Congratulations Mr. Sage!! All the hard work is paying off :) Best of luck for the rest of UTMB prep; you are gonna kick some serious ass!!

[@YC80087]

Congrats coach Sage!! You are truly an inspiration to my training for my up coming 10 miles race. I am working my way up!

[@mikkelgislejohnsen6920]

Epic stuff! I really liked the race part with no music, it's more intimate and direct!

[@RadbatDa]

Congratulations on your win!!! You are my go to source for running advice, ThankYou🙏🏼.

[@cesaralvarez9980]

Congratulations Sage.

[@jamesshaw89]

That was fun to watch. I'm making a list of takeaways I see in the videos like your pit stops and Dakota just throwing down the used vest and grabbing the refilled one at the aid station never stopping. I would think that stopping for a couple minutes to see your crew and catch your breath would be very helpful to recover your body a little and possibly your mind a lot?

[@davebegbie362]

Very well done Sage. Totally deserved!

[@Peter-ri9ie]

Beautiful landscape! And congrats on the win! Go UTMB! 👣

[@joegentry7525]

Killed it man, nice job and glad to hear nutrition is holding up.

[@JavierISampedroTNF]

[@jenniferblott7966]

[@nberkel]

Nice win man! Great race for a great cause to boot. Thanks for sharing the footage.

[@michaelreid322]

Nice job, Sage! Congratulations on the win! Enjoy your break!

[@TRUc972]

Hi Sage, congratulations on your win. An idea for a training talk video would be for good technique for down hill running, both on the road and on the trails. Cheers 👍

[@MrSuperbluesky]

Wow fantastic running and preparation congrats !

[@stevenrein1779]

Congratulations on the win!

[@ironmantooltime]

[@genevievel3252]

dude, your vlog intros are the BEST!

[@aaron4239]

Sage great win and awesome effort was waiting for this video to come out .. you rocked it ....congratulations!!!!

[@snazzycracker2]

Well done Sage. Looks like you could do with several of your Nathan running belts already preloaded with whatever you think you need, you can ditch what you don't need as you go. Should stop you running out of gels at least :)

[@MotherMuse]

Congrats Sage taking 1st! Looks like a great race and a great time. Awesome job dude.

[@kofuzi]

love those gimbal shots

[@thinniesh4470]

Way to Sage. So happy for you!

[@SorenAdventure]

Congrats on the big win Sage! I just released a string of running videos on my channel that I'm pretty proud of! Would be sick to gain some people from a likeminded audience! Either way, congrats on the win again and keep the vids coming!

[@wyattlandis1701]

SorenAdventure I watch your videos

[@andrew2114k]

[@Howtowithpaulaandjohn]

Awesome job! Looking strong! Congrats!

[@reed574]

Thanks for all the inspiration

[@effiekatrantzi2103]

Hello from Thessaloniki, Greece🇬🇷 What an amazing race Sage!!! Such an inspiration watching you cross that finish line fist! I've been following your vlogs for the last couple of years and all your trainings are so hard, technical and specific to the last detail. From teenager up until now...HOW do you do it? Evge!!!(cudos)

[@zaphod2]

Wow thats impressive. Great job.

[@HrPedrosak]

Congrats, dude!

[@chinitosheaven]

Congratulation IDOL Sage!

[@joshgomez5602]

u still got it sage

[@jimmiejoe1636]

Awesome job Sage ..

[@RealG-j2q]

Well done, well deserved!

[@austinshields8627]

18oz Handheld(minus gels) = 1.2lbs.. if I was running a race I wouldn't want to do it with a 1.2lb weight in my hand. I think its time for a VaporSage vest! Congrats on the win!

[@tryhardpker]

Austin Shields they don't need vests for these shorter races that have loads of aidstations... id say it's not worth the discomfort

[@snazzycracker2]

It clearly works for Dakota, comes in minutes behind and leaves ahead by the looks of it. The vest aren't uncomfortable either. 50 is a short race?

[@tyrandavid6617]

Love the intro music. Great run...

[@SuperHappyHeads]

well done Sage!

[@WarpedNeurons]

Congratulations

[@caseyevans5519]

Great job Sage! I love these videos!

[@jamietrimmer805]

congrats sage great video

[@johnnyrobinson1111]

Sage for the win

[@PatricF]

Congrats on the win ! I wonder one thing, what water bottle from Nathan do you use ? I looks like a nice model and im looking for one ... Should be nice foolowing your traing for UTMB and that race!

[@bboy6surme]

still coming back to listen to the intro music lol

[@1998flash]

I love the tree trunk sized legs sages. Damn

[@1998flash]

Like compared to all the other skinny guys.

[@marisol5841]

Awesome !! Congrats Sage!!
