Ultra Running Coach Ellie Greenwood interviews me - Answering Questions about 200 milers Bubble Tea

Ellie and I have been friends for about 12 years. She is a world renowned champion ultra runner - and a coach. I've run (and documented) a series of 200 mile events. Ellie asked if we could meet to talk about 200s so she could give the best possible support to her client. Since she had not tried bubble tea, we met at a nearby place to sit down and talk. I brought a camera as I get asked questions about 200 mile races with some regularity. So this is an impromptu video. Hope you enjoy.

Ellie: "So, what do mere mortals do while they're running ultras?" Kerry: "I don't know. This is what works for me though."

[@jimswadling8138]

Great stuff Kerry and Ellie. I'm inspired to contemplate a 200, but being (fortunately?) well past my ultra phase I just feed off your experiences. Thank you.

[@FullTiltWard]

Jim, you are someone who would without a doubt be able to complete one.

[@joliver573]

Thanks for great info. Only planning a 50 miler, but for me a great start!

[@olegonthetrail]

This was amazing, thanks for doing the interview... I'm getting warmed up to doing 100M and beyond more and more! :)

[@grindpalm]

Thanks Kerry! Doing my first 200 miler this year.

[@kensaweaner]

I'd often wondered about many of these questions while watching your 200+ mile event videos. Thanks for recording and sharing.

[@FullTiltWard]

Happy to do it, Ken. Glad Ellie asked.

[@AKtrailrunner]

Perfect timing for this video Kerry! I'm pacing my friend Nikki at Bigfoot 200 this year, if it happens. I sent her a link to your video to get an idea of what's up for her first 200. Way awesome!

[@sjohnson522]

so stoked on this! thank you for this! more!

[@mikemaby5497]

I finally finished my first 200 today! That's the last time I'm walking 200 yards. :) Good to get answers to the questions we most have. Thanks guys.

[@melaneemaisey4083]

This is great. So glad you recorded it. Good luck Bryan 💪🏼

[@andrewroberts8139]

This is fascinating

[@Radishoo]

Amazing insight, thanks Kerry. You should do a podcast!

[@FullTiltWard]

Thought about it. But there are SO many of them now. My preference would be to talk to people while running trails - whenever possible - and sharing that way.

[@Radishoo]

@@FullTiltWardRyan Van Duzer does run/chats, I'd love to see you do the same on the trails. Your chat with Candice during Delirious was really special.

[@10pound]

aahhhh gah THE BLENDER!!!!!!

[@FullTiltWard]

Right!?

[@williamgodin1110]

Kerry, your content is amazing. I'm always inspired! Thank you and keep moving forward!

[@cherries4life387]

Unfortunately Kerry, there's another inaugural 200 arriving in the ultra scene (that you may consider) kzbin.info/www/bejne/navFo2N4mpyFnrs

[@vnpunt]

Hi Kerry, Val from the Netherlands here. Do you plan on ever doing a race in Europe, like UTMB or lesser known ones? If so, let us know!

[@FullTiltWard]

Would love to at some point. Perhaps TDG. I'd also like to run the UTMB course - though not necessarily when the race is happening just to see the area.

[@andrewroberts8139]

Excuse my ignorance, what is bubble tea?

[@cuttheknot4781]

Bubble Tea is an Asian influenced drink (China, Korea, etc.) that contains a number of flavors (Tea being the once prominent base) that contains "pearls" (round) solid balls of Tapioca or some similar translucent starch that is rather dense (like a soggy soft gummy bear. There are "healthy" versions, and well, less healthy versions depending of course what it contains. Some people develop stomach issues/bloating as a result of the "pearls" not dissolving in the stomach for long (weeks) periods at a time. My advice (if you care) is to try it, enjoy it - and forget about it for a long time, lol.

[@andrewroberts8139]

Ellie's rather posh, horsey voice reminds me of a friend of mine

[@vira7925]

Imagine if the client you were both talking about was Goggins
