Training On The Barkley Course

A couple days jogging through Frozen Head State Park.

[@ski999]

This is your year, Jam Jam!

[@pinky1494]

That icy soil is called needle ice or column ice :) It forms when the water within the soil is warmer than the air outside, so it is drawn up by the cold air and freezes on the way up.

[@albertoguerra3351]

Loved the video!! All the atmosphere of the Barkley's marathon!!!

[@runningwithmarc]

[@beeclimbing9954]

What AWESOME news that you & Guillame will be able to team up for this year's Barkley! With both of you being such positive people and both great at the 100 mile distance, this is a possible dream team. Best of luck to you both!!!!

[@luanngoldfarb924]

Thanks so much! BFC is on my schedule and this was great to see. Happy to see you doing well and having fun. I'll be cheering you both on for sure!

[@Jameswmin]

Beautiful video - thanks very much for posting it.

[@rsanders3]

Great idea to get out there and get more comfortable with the course before race week. Best of luck on the Barkley!!!

[@dz9012]

Good to see you back dude. Best running vids on KZbin 🤟🏻

[@nicobetancourt7629]

Welcome back Jam Jam! Love seeing that face on a vlog again! I'm sure everyone here is like me and will be rooting for you and keeping up with you on Strava until you upload again :)

[@grantpdenny]

Can’t wait to see you finish this year, Jam. Best of luck and happy training! Love these vids

[@MalarkusD]

Woohoo! Love this sort of content. I hope you do another Hardrock vid this year too!

[@siccinvite4622]

Very Nice!! Love that area so much

[@jak3__]

Missed the running videos! Keep em coming!

[@gypsyhikermonica227]

Icicle lunch! All the best to you sir. Loved watching the video.

[@aspacer]

Finally a vid again! i missed your vlogs :(

[@Len1977gt]

same

[@Howtowithpaulaandjohn]

Glad to see you again! This video should have "TRIGGER WARNING" on it . I was 3 minutes in and I accidentally signed up for a race I said I wasn't gonna run this year . :D (Sky Island by Spectrum)

[@BriManeely]

So glad to see you hitting the trails early this year!

[@wildernesstraildistillery3144]

Dope vid, miss your frequent postings!!!! Good luck this year

[@CoolInOlympia]

Cool! Guillermo is such a beautiful runner!

[@williamrunner6718]

You got it this year Jam! Jam!

[@slowjamcdub]

He’s back! Best ultra film maker around.

[@giuseppealonzo4294]

Nice to see you back!!!

[@Joshybabee]

More than doubled your sub count since i started following, keep it up! You have momentum

[@sadinopesca3139]

Good to see you back !

[@ryanatw7435]

I was starting to think I must have gotten blocked for some reason lol. Good to see you posting again!

[@shawndraroberts2583]

Tennessee has some great trails. Ran a trail half in Collierville and it was beautiful. Only issue was TONS of mud and the slick stumps everywhere threatening runners' ankles.

[@ijustzeke]

Go get it man! This is gonna be that year!

[@user-tc6xi1rc6m]

Wish your great success this year, from korea~~

[@aleksanderk6765]

Jamil running again on camera and Barkley course? Good stuff! Cheers from Norway

[@AlexRace2019]

Awesome vid! Love your whole channel! This inspires me to make more RUNNING VIDEOS !! 👌🔥🏃‍♂️

[@Suavek69]

I have a feeling that you are SO going to finish it this year :D

[@TheodoreK2]

Good to see you back! The ice on the ground is surface hoar frost, fyi. Jam Jam around ice... Would ya look at it?! Oh look at this! :D

[@jakuchuito5107]

This looks quite a bit like my home trails (west Japan). Complete with the ice beard Barkley snacks. If im not mistaken they appear when the ground is above zero but the air temp is below zero, forcing the moisture out of the ground. Edit - my explanation is not very good. They’re called Needle Ice: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needle_ice Hope you get to finish five loops!

[@vieuxsage]

Where in Japan are you? I'm in Osaka and saw them on Mt. Rokko a few times last year.

[@miguellamallas5021]

Jam Jam WILL finish this year! I can feel it!

[@inkjob12]

SEE ANY STRAY DOGS? I agree...seeing the course (sort of) in the sun light was strange. Hoping you all get some good weather this year.....and a finish. Stay safe and injury free...

[@Meatcook123]

wow i am so hyped to see barkley this year

[@LoFav76]

Good luck! Nice vid! Thank you

[@chrispowell8480]

We used to call it Hoar Frost. Happens when the air temp drops very low, very fast, freezing the warmer air as it escapes from the ground.

[@GogglesTyresandTrainers]

What a gorgeous day!

[@Ryantcross88]

Any links to song used? I’ve been digging some ambient style tracks while running

[@Rayven_cat]

My man you like the quality seltzers. Right on

[@RBeau82]

Sweet vid! Hope your training goes well. Any trail current podcasts planned for the future? I miss that show! :)

[@historyhypehub]

Love to see more Barkley footage, great job! What shoes were you running in?

[@Backtothefutureradios]

Good Luck! May see you there! Lol, not a participant but a local runner checking things out again! Take Care!! Snake

[@seanschmidt9328]

#nobugle2019 for you and Guillaume! looking STRONG! 💪 Btw- ha, so funny they have Waterloo in Oak Ridge, that is my go to bubbly water, I’ll be able to get it in September for BFC! 👍. Did you try coconut flavor, it’s REAL GOOD!

[@pezholda5935]

reccing the area is a huge advantage over other competitors.well done!

[@thenapolitan]

Love that music during day 2 - is that original?

[@kevindecoteau3186]

I know of the barkley, and have watched some video of it. Seems like it would be real easy to get off trail and lost!

[@NovaChurch]

Great vlog broski...

[@deanrumbawa5676]

Is the soundtrack for this vid available? Or any of your vids for that matter. I love the music!

[@bobbymac1972]

Bout time we heard and saw some Barkley!!

[@jt0308]

inspiring as always

[@richardhudson4649]

Who was the 3rd who joined you and Guillaume on Day 2? At first I thought it was John Kelly, but I don't think it was. Also does Guillaume ever stop smiling?

[@Ryan-us4jf]

Yo! I go to the University of Tennessee Knox. Frozen head is only about 45 minutes away. I’ve been wanting to go out there for a few weeks now to do some training.

[@HeartPumper]

Arghh it's the Barkley madness again :D Them briars are waiting for the shins of innocent fools :D Either way, it is how you are making new moments in life, which you'll never forget (I guess, even with Alzheimer). Guillaume is running this year too? Awesome, lovely athlete :D Love you guys!!

[@madintheattic]

How many miles ans vert in total ?

[@peterchristie9737]

Awesome video! Did you record these runs on strava? Would love to check them out.

[@brentd2745]

Nice Jamil!! What watch are you running? Suunto... Maybe a quick Ultra specific review giving us the lowdown. :)

[@Barley_runner]

Nice one!! Is Guillame running this year? Good luck!!

[@Wolfman1250s]

Great to see you back 👊 Brilliant vid

[@XciterCalls]

Which gimbal were you using on this trip?

[@fiveafterseven]

Great that you got to overlap!

[@mxweng]

Very epic route but it also reminds me of the movie called wrong turn.

[@jessecragwall1359]

Jamil, I heard you say on the video that you want to visit every February. I live about 45 minutes from the park and camp there with my family a few times every year. So, if you need a free place to stay or any help with crewing the race, hit me up! I'm big fan of your videos and would love to help a fellow runner out.

[@jpk91]

Missed the running vlogs :)

[@thierrygrandjean7611]

super vidéo 👍🏃

[@sparrow819]

When the heck is the race? Where is the best place to find details about what happened during the race?

[@natek3954]

How many miles was all of that?

[@seank784]

Liked before the video started

[@buckeyejen1076]

Do you sleep like 2 hours a week?

[@kdrguru]

Is Jamil secretly training for the seltzer mile 2.0??

[@Tgolden069]

If you thumbs down this video I feel bad for you.

[@snavarro7713]

The barkley marathon is over. What did happen to you Jam ? Your fans are still supporting you !

[@Rayven_cat]

Polar ruby red grapefruit is outstanding

[@wolfeb99]

What beautiful weather. As I watched this I was thinking you could get some really awesome footage with an Insta360 one x camera. Have you tried it?

[@runsteepgethigh]

I haven’t played around with any 360 cams yet but I’m interested

[@kidzmeals50]

Didn't see this one on strava... 🤔

[@pablorolotti6739]

song name?

[@NovaChurch]

Is this recorded with the hero 7? No gimbal?

[@runsteepgethigh]

Correct

[@hupo]

Where have you beeen

[@giff74]

Great video! I'm trying to go beyond marathon distance with a "short" ultra this year. Does anyone have any strong opinions about poles? I've never used them and can't decide if I want to try them out or not?

[@010MACS]

giff74 I’m thinking a similar thing! Last year I did a 69 mile ultra in the UK. Didn’t use poles and don’t think they were that necessary, but I’m doing it again this year and I’m thinking I will get some. Yes I managed without but if they take some pressure off legs and knees when climbing to me that seems to be a plus...? Keen to see what others think though!

[@giff74]

010MACS I've wondered the same things. I just don't like things in my hands when I run, just a weird thing for me I suppose. LOL

[@010MACS]

giff74 yeah I know what you mean! I’ve not tried them so might be awful haha.

[@jakesaari7652]

That was awesome! What happened to the Osmo Pocket?

[@nednoriega]

Jake Saari I was wondering the same thing!

[@finite-element]

Is this shot on a DJI osmo pocket?

[@runsteepgethigh]

Hero 7

[@chones_]

Moooooooorrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee videos Jamil. Please. Thank you.

[@liamhackett7997]

I could only get 360p resolution? Any ideas?

[@runsteepgethigh]

Probly still processing. I uploaded in 1080p

[@liamhackett7997]

@@runsteepgethigh good point. Great video as always!
