[@epasch]

These vlogs are my favorite content. They always get me pumped to go out for a long run. Keep it up!

[@runningwithaj]

Absolutely have missed these! I'm going for a 90 minute half marathon. Hoping you do well in Vermont!

[@copilot1976]

I really like this type of content from you. Very relatable as a dad and someone that still wants to push himself. I’m four+ weeks away from running the Denali 135, crewed by my three brothers and spreading our dad’s ashes along the way. It’s going to be an emotional race. Good luck at VT100!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Wow the Denali 135! What a great way to honor him. Good luck! Thanks for watching!

[@hiroazuma1410]

Hi from Japan; doing my first 50k ultra in a few weeks. This contents gets me pumped to keep training for it!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Awesome! Good luck!

[@RhodySeth]

Good luck at VT100. Get in whatever training you can and go for it! I'll be spending my summer hopefully building up to a return to fall racing.

[@seanlowther4875]

looking forward to more non-gear review content

[@ChaseTheSummit]

More to come!

[@yazevans]

Love seeing you hit the trails! I'm breaking in my sunrise trucker now. Go get Vermont, you've got it.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Awesome! Hope you love the hat!

[@seanupton3170]

I agree with the other comments, I love this type of content and it helps motivate me to get out and run. Looking forward to more of these, and the merch looks great too!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks! More to come!

[@ShervinShares]

bring them backkkkk

[@ChaseTheSummit]

full force!

[@KomengDeBatiste]

Glad these vlogs are back! Ever since my last injury, I'm cutting back on trail runs and doing more road. I signed up for a fun run trail event in June, then nothing major until a pacing duty for an FM early next year.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Sorry about the injury! Hope recovery is going well!

[@richt3993]

Anyone else just waiting for the Chase the Summit notification on the Instinct 3? I KNOW youre testing it out Dave!!!! 😂

[@beachs7210]

Love the running vlogs 👍. Going to have to get another hat!

[@user-xp2ms9gf5d]

I do love your vlogs. I like to see trails that couldn’t be more different to my local trails in AZ. I also love the conversational, relaxed style. Keep them coming!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks!

[@KwyjiboVanDeKamp]

Hey Dave, really love your training and race vlogs. 💪🤩 So keep them coming! Your passion about ultra races is pretty inspiring! My little challenge for 2024 is to run a marathon (just the distance, not an event) each month. Just for fun in training - easy-going. Maybe one of the next will be 50k to challenge myself even more. It's hard to imagine to ever run a 100 mile race. That's a whole different story! Wish you all the best for your upcoming race!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Awesome! Good luck with your goal!

[@gpfraser1]

I'm going to do a trail run for the first time this year because of this video. Best way to beat the heat!

[@SeeChadRun]

Loving the running content! Good luck with your training and looking forward to the races!!! Love the new hats!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks Chad!

[@colinwilson1124]

If you're looking for a fun game to play in the Fells, you can run to all the gates by drawing their numbers randomly from a deck of cards. Brian Burke came up with the game and a few of us have done it. 1. Pick a place to park 2. Draw a card in the parking lot and run to that gate. 3. At the gate draw a new card and decided if you want to run to that gate, or just back to your car. 4. Repeat Cards are removed from the deck once you draw it and make it to the gate in the same session.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Haha I saw this on Brian’s Strava and want to try it!

[@chrisjoyce5935]

Thanks for the honest content. Inspirational to hear that someone else doesn’t have anything else on the calendar that they’ve signed up for😂. Stay ready. Hope the hand heals up quick!

[@oscargine9384]

Great video, Dave. Good luck in Vermont. My next race will be in July 20th A 42 km mountain trail in the Aneto Posets massif, the highest in the Pyrenees.

[@Zan____]

ah glad to see your trail blog again...this year, I have like 3 series trail that I never try n went before, the usual....vacation-trail-run-might-as-well

[@-R_H]

Turning 40 in August... 4 kids myself... Just hoping to get out in the woods consistently. Currently rucking with a flak watching your vid. That nightfall hat looks awesome. Good luck on the VT100

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Same boat! Keep it up!

[@simonpollock2799]

Just finished my second-ever 50k, out at Sun Mountain in Winthrop, WA! Looking forward to some unstructured running weeks and some trail adventures this summer, especially playing around in the Teanaways.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Awesome! Congrats on the 50K!

[@SiriusScientist]

Personally, the video doesn’t really need to have a defined purpose. My favorite videos are the running vlog style, where it’s partially the nature views and partially chatting. I’m hoping we have more training videos between now and then, but good luck at the VT100. I had signed up for a race in Acadia this weekend, but we ended up getting a Border Collie puppy sooner than originally planned due to the husband’s surgery date being moved, and it would be too long in the car and too many days adventuring for his age. Hopefully next year! I agree about engagement, having followed you for a while now. I interact with videos like this, and read the comments, but not really with the review content

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks for sharing! Congrats on the puppy!

[@DSPotapov]

Yay! Epic return 😊 like it! 👍

[@davely7]

I missed these training vlogs. Good luck in VT100. Might see you there as that is my goal race this year. Jealous over the VO2 MAX. I am at 45, down 4 from last year, but I am just overcoming an injury. I also have the BFC 50K later in year one day before my 50th. Stst safe out there! No more falling and remember no fast start at VT!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Awesome! Haha, I’ll probably still go out too hot. Old habits die hard!

[@NickolausHillman]

Great to see the training vlogs back. This summer I will be training to get back on my feet post injury from this springs dnf. Lots of work ahead!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Good luck!

[@cameronmorrison4519]

Really happy to see you doing these again. I don't watch a lot of these types of videos, but your delivery, content, and time are well done. Good luck on the race!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks! More to come!

[@christopherbrandi6588]

All your road miles will help in VT. Almost 70% of the course is packed gravel which is closer to asphalt than trail. In 2022 I trained too much on trails and not enough on roads. Sub 24 this year let’s goooo

[@ChaseTheSummit]

You’re not wrong. I finished a few years back and all I remember is rolling dirt roads and blown out quads 😂

[@leanneruss1073]

I agree with the other commenters - this a is good content that helps create a sense of community. Also, hard related on the gravel rash, I unceremoniously collided with the earth whilst running the other day....middle aged, we don't bounce like we used to!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

I need to practice the GoPro + running again so I don't eat it next time!

[@SiriusScientist]

I’m going to use that phrasing the next time I bite it on a trail! Minor unintentional earth collision 😂

[@ferencantal708]

Hey! Glad to see some new training/running content! I missed them very much. Want more more and more asap, I mean it! These kind of episodes give me energy to train more for the @MSG Maraton Apuseni - Semi edition! So a big thank You, Dave! Keep it up, and good luck!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Awesome! Thanks! More to come soon!

[@frankmalcolm1321]

Keep it up, missed these as well.

[@ActiveIdeas]

Let’s goooo! 🔥

[@Mack.Tracks]

Hyped to see these return in force! Cheers for making this!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Lots coming!

[@ericruman542]

I have one of your earlier hats not shown on the table, trucker style mostly white. I may have to try the newer styles. Keep up the good work on training vlogs, 👍

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Oh man! That’s one of 30 I think! Awesome!

[@Gabrielerf]

I really like this kind of content, thanks Dave. I wish you the best in Vermont.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks!

[@philipcoates11]

Yeap, love the training vlogs

[@rickb4384]

Great video 👍

[@jeffhallman676]

Great video! I’m going to attempt a 50K trail run in November. It will be my 3rd try at this distance. This time I’m going to try to actually follow a running/training plan. 😂. Next year one of our goal races will be a Ragnar Trail run in Vermont!

[@robkrueger8803]

I definitely prefer the running, training, race day content. Something I connect with on a regular basis as opposed to gear reviews only matter when I'm looking to purchase. Consider doing some running kit specific reviews like shoes, vests, poles, etc. Personally I've just completed my first 50 miler in 12:22 and plan on spending the summer getting stronger to try and cut an hour off that time for a fall race.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks for sharing! Good luck with your goals!

[@SiriusScientist]

I love the vlog and race content! I need one of those new hats too. I’m eyeing the white one but I know it’ll stay white for approximately 2 seconds once I’m out on the trail

[@ChaseTheSummit]

😂 so true. This one is about 2 weeks old and still appears white. Fingers crossed!

[@jeffrunner2701]

Hey. I’m just trying to get back in shape so I can run the cape cod marathon in October. It’s inspiring to hear how your runs are going even the scrapes. Thanks for your great inspiration sir.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

So glad you enjoyed it! Cape Cod marathon looks awesome. Good luck!

[@davely7]

Good luck at the cape cod marathon. I did the half I think two years ago with my kids. It was alot of fun!

[@MyViewon_Life]

As a beginner trail runner, I enjoyed this episode!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

More to come!

[@user-nn6uy7vn9s]

That's a really cool trail your running on,as far as the race,you can do it in 24 🎉,nice new hat's Big Dave

[@user-nn6uy7vn9s]

Oh yeah bro,ouch 🤕 hope you heal up fast

[@mlegrand]

Those new hats look 🔥 👌

[@mateuszwardzynski]

They do indeed, dont they? Nightfall - my fav ❤

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Thanks Matt!

[@jhiaaa]

Currently dealing with plantar fasciitis, took two weeks off to let it rest while doing PT. Today was my first day back, just 20 min but I'm hopeful!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Oof! PF is so frustrating. It feels like such a minor injury but it sends everything into a grinding hault! Hope your recovery is going well!

[@wojciechmiszczuk5108]

Regarding plans - just finished my first marathon (trail), now want to train few month more and try one of the city marathons, let’s see what’s the difference :)

[@Doggodoggodoggodoggo]

First trail run, DXT in the Dolomites this year!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Awesome!

[@tgilbs]

I've got a goal to do my first long trail run before I turn 40. I've got less than two years!! Hah. I am thinking of signing up for a 30k that takes place in 11 months. Trying to tell more people in my life so I can be accountable to do all the training I'll need for it!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Accountability is huge! Make a youtube channel! 😂 good luck!

[@justinhongphotography]

For this summer I would love to try doing the presi traverse in a day!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Yes!

[@randalfippinger9448]

I am coming back from a torn meniscus. I was a marathoner. I hooping trailer running will be better. Looking for good trails in western MA. Live the video.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

How far west? The Midstate Trail is a lot of fun!

[@randalfippinger9448]

@@ChaseTheSummit Williamstown. As far north west as you can get!

[@matthiassventoest6800]

I ran an ultra in the spring. I have signed up for a road half in Kansas, as it was only 5 dollars and close. and I am pllanning on trying to run an event during the bye week, in early October (I coach football.., errrr, gridiron for the int'l viewers). long term running a marathon in February ... but that's it. 2 races, possibly 3. so training for the kanas race.., and possible race during the bye

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Awesome good luck!

[@JoshButton]

Brisbane Half Marathon next weekend June 2. Aiming for a PB sub 2:12. 2:05 would be extra nice. Then the world's biggest fun run City2Surf in August and Sydney Marathon in September.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Heck yeah! Good luck!

[@jpd4376]

Love the clarification of 90F Dave ... Us Canadians were worried for you eh? ;)

[@ChaseTheSummit]

I’ve learned from other videos that I always have to specify 😂

[@pieterOD]

Strained my calf a littttleee like 3 weeks ago.. But back at it today! Im a busy lad Wanna do a 50km in NOV - i dont feel ready yet - any training tips? Play field hockey and 5-a side football - both I love ! Its turning winter in South Africa but no snow so training can continue! Missed these videos Dave!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Ouch on the Calf! Glad to hear you’re recovering. The only tip I have? Keep moving, keep smiling!

[@rusty9514]

My only goal for the summer is to get back into the swing of things. Between horrible weather and working 55+ hours every week for the past 2 months my weekly mileage has dropped from around 35 to under 10 and my running ability has dropped off significantly.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

You got this!

[@rusty9514]

​@@ChaseTheSummitthanks man, just a matter of getting that discipline and consistency back. Always love a good trail run but the weather has been forcing me on the road which is a bit less exciting but still beats sitting on the couch doing nothing

[@tas6s]

I finish a 59km and now rest..

[@brandonm4664]

Both my sons did their rocket launches for Boy Scouts in that field.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Small world!

[@scriptosaurusrex]

For the rest of the world watching, 90°F is about 32°C Also, come on Dave. Touch the hat. It's not been worn until it's dirty!

[@ChaseTheSummit]

The problem was I didn't even take pictures of the hat yet for the website lol! Couldn't have a bloody messy cap as the product photo! This is the only one I have until the bulk quantities arrive!

[@scriptosaurusrex]

@@ChaseTheSummit I mean. You COULD, but I get what you are saying. 🤔😂

[@cont5111]

Awesome vlog mate, the tattoo on your forearm. What does it say if I may ask??

[@ChaseTheSummit]

It's greek for "I miss you". I get asked about it a lot so I actually made an entire video about it a while back: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoHKZZuOjLmlaZY

[@cont5111]

@ChaseTheSummit I'm also greek, and I could kinda see that the writing was greek. I just thought I'd ask... thank you and I appreciate all the great content.. all the best

[@Newmannnnnnnn]

Where are you at with Altra trail shoes right now?

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Still use them regularly. Specifically the Mont Blanc Boa are one of my favorites for ultra distances.

[@isthi000ify]

What watch are you wearing mate? Fenix or Epix?

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Forerunner 965 in this video

[@isthi000ify]

@ChaseTheSummit heard that's another killer watch!!! But for a different audience than the Fenix, Epix lines right....running Vs hiking etc?

[@powerram92]

I was wondering if your still taking ag1? If so what are your thoughts?

[@ChaseTheSummit]

Yup, I still feel similarly about it but it feels good and it’s a habit now so I keep taking it!

[@madscatt1063]

Nice content. My advice, don't spend the video discussing how uncertain you are about making a video, and well, show us your run and the environment.

[@ChaseTheSummit]

For sure, ultimately I find myself in analysis paralysis with the vlogs and end up over thinking them which leads to me never posting them. This time I decided it was getting published either way. Stay tuned, I’ll have more content rich videos down the road!
