Training in the Alpine | Ep 7 Ultra Marathon Training 2024

Just a fun lil video of keeping it real during an alpine training day. Did some laps to try to get some decent elevation gain, at altitude. Hope you enjoy- I know the audio was a lil whack at times so bear with me- lesson learned.

I always thought that Styrkr was pronounced "striker"... Great job training in the high country! Looks beautiful.

[@user-no1yv8rg5b]

Very nice 👍👍❤❤❤

Great video, thank you (I like the straight forward , no-nonsense style with a little humour every now and again). I am also running my first 100km in November and enjoy sharing your training journey.

[@MountainHighLife]

Thank you!! I appreciate that! That’s exciting to hear- I hope you’ve been enjoying your training/running so far!!

[@christiaanhorn6624]

@@MountainHighLife I am thank you. It is exactly as you said, some days are just more difficult, luckily it is a small minority😊

[@Wickedweirdwednesday]

Currently training for my first 50 miler with a ton of vert’ and I have totally had those moments of “I don’t think I can’t do it”. I’m scared, but shouldn’t we do things that scare us? 🙌

[@julietrachael]

Hey there, my husband and I live in Boulder and are training for my first 100 mile ultra and I am totally going to do this twice for a training run. Thank you for the idea.

[@rcvisee74]

Keep it going!

No joke about those 90 degree days last week.. and it was humid! Even my night runs were miserable and sweaty

[@MountainHighLife]

It was so rough! Im so glad im not alone in the struggle 😂 I resorted to some morning runs but even then I was returning home absolutely drenched.

[@nessazee]

I found your channel looking for inspiration to fuel my own runs. I’m just a road runner, but I’m really enjoying your videos! Almost makes me want to try trail running. Almost. 😂

[@MountainHighLife]

Thank you so much!! And you should come join us in some trails!! They’re so fun and such a nice change of pace at times :)

[@hibiru6868]

Nice work. How do your legs feel now? On Sunday I did a little over a marathon in the mountains with 6k+ feet of gain and for a couple of days my legs were fried. They felt good today though thankfully, although like you my glutes are still a little angry at me.

[@gwilymeades]

Another great little video. Just wondering about your home made gels. I like that it's a BIG gel, because I find the commercial ones a bit small. What's the calorie density like?

[@MountainHighLife]

For that gel it’s roughly 300 cals! My recipe is soooo close- it gets better every time so I’m hoping to share it very very soon! Always appreciate your support- thank you for being here!!!

[@KidVentures365]

Stir-kuh meaning “strength “ in Old Norse 🎉 I’m very interested in your homemade gels!

[@MountainHighLife]

THANK YOU! I feel enlightened haha. That is really cool to know! As far as my homemade gels go- I’ve almost got the recipe down so I’m hoping to share it soon!

Coucou je suis français, les pieds pour les soigner il faut les strapper, il ne faut surtout pas les lubrifier, conseil d'un trailer expérimenté, à essayer, et tu n'auras plus d'ampoule❤😉

Pronounced Striker

How the ruddy f*k do you manage to scoot down hills while recording and talking to camera? I ruined my ankle descending a couple of weeks ago. And I was only concentrating on running down that hill. : / So somewhat envious.

[@MountainHighLife]

Oh my gosh I am so sorry to hear that!! Perhaps is a I’ve practiced it enough where I’m decent at it 😂 trust me, I’ve found myself on the ground quite a few times. Hoping you heal up fast and can get back out there!!

[@auldnglaikit]

@@MountainHighLife Cheers! I think my issue is my ankle has practiced being torn asunder almost every time I descend a mountain, so now it doesn't even have to try! : )

[@ricodelavega4511]

Did you pull out that folding aid station table in your car, and replicate an AS stop between loops? why didnt you show that? Also, if you ran with a drone your subscriber numbers would shoot up to 23k. I'm being sarcastic. Great video

[@MountainHighLife]

Haha I even had a camp table in the back of my car- next time I’ll do the whole spread for myself to really give it the authenticity 😂 But thank you!!
