Curious about how to train and run an ultra marathon? Welcome to my ultra running training VLOG - Episode 5. This series follow me - Simon - as I race 100 miles ultra marathon every month. These two weeks were a bit intense - after racing Cocodona 250, I raced Bryce Canyon Ultra Marathon (100 miles). Also, I go through a Cocodona 250 Q&A.
Original post-race interview from Mountain Outpost :
• Simon Guerard on his C...
This was a bit of a 'surprise' race. I've been thinking about completing the Triple Crown or Trifecta of Vacation Race 100 milers for a while - namely Antelope Canyon 100 miles, Zion 100 miles and Bryce Canyon 100 miles. And I've already raced both this year. AND Bryce is only every other year. But, it was 1 week after running 250 miles / Cocodona 250. So, I didn't sign up, and waited to see how my body would recover after such grueling race. Turns out, for once, work was reasonable. About 40 hrs finally - so I was able to sleep, eat, rest. Which did absolute wonders to my body
I signed up for Bryce Canyon 100 miles merely 12 hours before the race - 6:30pm Friday evening! It's a challenging course at altitude - ranging in the 7000-9000 feet, and with about 15k ft of gain. 36 hours, and I intended for once to take all the time I needed and not rush it. It wasn't about speed - it was about resilience!
Beyond this, the last 2 weeks were mostly recovery. Recovery from Cocodona. And recovery from Bryce. Actually, it's a bit crazy - over 21 days, I raced 3x ultra for a total of 450 miles, 80k ft, and 155 hours! But training is going back full speed from now on, as I'm heading up to Bighorn 100 miles and a bunch of crazy mountain races over the summer.
As always - Thanks for watching and remember -
Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits!
