[@debbieboothroyd2420]

I’m not crying, there’s something in my eye!! Your endless positivity and enthusiasm is infectious and there was never any doubt you’d finish your incredible journey. I may never do anything quite that immense, but I am hoping to run my first ultra next year and your videos have been a massive inspiration. Thanks Loyd!

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks so much for your kind words Debbie! 🙏 I'm so glad that you are enjoying the channel and best of luck with your first Ultra, happy training and thanks for watching 😊

[@ZirothTech]

Absolutely beautiful video and route, almost felt like I was there with you! Thanks for sharing.

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks very much, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and the stunning views! It sure is a beautiful but brutal route. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

[@katiebrazier1308]

It was my pleasure to spend my 18th with you guys! What a brilliant achievement Loyd! Super inspired by at all, so much so I’ve entered the lottery for the Lakeland 50 next year! 🤞🏽🤞🏽✨

[@Run4Adventure]

That's great to hear Katie, did you get into Lakeland? It was great to meet you in Chamonix and to celebrate your Birthday on our shake out run! 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏

[@trailrunningphil]

Wow. Totally epic Lloyd. Hats off to Liga and Steve for pulling you through that dark patch. Huge congrats on an epic achievement. Inspiring stuff!!

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Phil, that's really appreciated 🙏😊

[@MrTCFIRE]

Your presence of mind to film and comment along the way is impressive…bravo!

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks very much 🙏😊

[@rogerrichards8048]

Well done to Steve & you Loyd for toughing it out - I can’t imagine how it must feel with that combination of distance, elevation and lack of sleep. Hats off to everyone who even attempt to do any of the UTMB races. Hope Luke did OK & looked like the Xodus Ultra’s stood up well.

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Roger 🙏 Unfortunately it was Lukes first experience of the big mountains and maybe the TDS isn't the best race for that. The big climb in the middle of the race, in the heat was a massive undertaking. He made it up the climb but chose to call it a day. The good news is he's ok and determined to go back next year and finish it off! 🏃‍♂️⛰️ Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

[@TheFODRunner]

Absolutely incredible race vlog, you captured it perfectly!! Really enjoyed this!

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Andy 🙏 Really glad you thought so and thanks for watching! Hope things are good your end and you are fit and well 😊

[@SimonJamesBayman]

48 mins of running/video perfection. Can't wait until tomorrow when I will watch this bad boy. Keep up the great work Loyd. Your race videos are always a must watch . Ps I cheated and watched the finish. Chapeaux

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Simon, that's very kind! Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching and supporting the channel its really appreciated 🙏😊

[@alicegregr773]

Love that I feature in this video! I remember it happening! My dad found it and sent it over! Congratulations on finishing, I did too. Hardest and most amazing race ever! Keep running xx

[@Run4Adventure]

Hi Alice 😊 I'm glad you've seen the video and well done for getting to the finish line! Hands down the toughest race I've ever done and I was very happy to finish. Hope you enjoyed your UTMB experience and thanks for watching 🙏

[@petersowerby5072]

Cant believe you managed to film all that epicness aswell as complete. Edge of seat stuff. Wow.

[@stevesalinda5270]

Loyd, no exaggeration here, but definitely one of the best running POV videos I've ever watched. I've watched it several times now and the emotion still hits me when you exit the woods and Liga is there telling you to get some sleep now! You've captured what every regular average runner suffers through when they tackle an absolutely shattering ultra the highs, the lows the ultimate victory. One of the most courageous bit of editing when you showed the raw emotion in that aid station at night---absolutely fit runners so spent that they're all asleep--tears every time I watch this. Well done, Loyd, well done on your TDS victory and well done on this beautiful video.

[@Run4Adventure]

Wow! Thanks for your amazing comment Steve, it really means a lot! 🙏🙏🙏 I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and you feel it captured all the emotion of a race like this. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel, its really appreciated 😊

[@jamstaa69]

Genuinely shed a happy tear for you guys making it to the end.. and getting that well deserved finish line. If it’s been that hard for you, and you’ve been there that week and all the hard training.. it just shows it’s no try your luck event.. wow.. Thanks Liga for being motivation and voice of reason at the aid station.. I was like noooo don’t give up, have a rest. Phew… we’ll done guys!!

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks for all your kind words, they're really appreciated 🙏 It sure was a tough 39hrs in the mountains and I'm sure I wouldn't have finish without Liga and Steve! It really was a team effort and I'm so glad I finished. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

[@martinscofield7477]

Brilliant video Loyd! You have such a good attitude. Your sense of humour really makes the video great. You are fast becoming one of the best KZbin creators out there! Well done!

[@Run4Adventure]

That's great to hear Martin, I'm glad you're enjoying the channel 👍 I think I did loose my sense if humor at one point in the race! 😂 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated mate 🙏😊

[@rachshirley552]

Epic Adventure!! So so stoked for you and your crew - Liga - what a STAR!! Super human finish Loyd - absolutely brilliant!

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Rach, that's so kind! 😊 Really glad you enjoyed the video, it was a big team effort to make it to the finish line, that's for sure! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

[@callummackenzie8937]

Congrats. Incredibly inspirational. Really appreciate the additional effort put into capturing this experience so well for others. All the kudos to you and your gang. Maybe one day.... Nga mihi, Callum.

[@JOsc4-v]

Looks incredible and incredibly tough.

[@DartmoorPaul]

Brilliant! So nice to put images where the dots were when I was following live online. What an achievement for you and Steve & so nice you finished UTMB and TDS with him. btw, surely that lack of CP/water on that 14er climb was a huge mistake by UTMB? Complete lack of safety for runners, especially in the heat and if the weather had been bad too. Shocking! Glad you both got through it & under 40hrs, smashed it! 👍🙂

[@chad.haggerty]

My god, Loyd, that was the most emotional video you’ve made, my friend. I’ve got tears in my eyes from watching you finish. Love it. What an amazing adventure, effort, and accomplishment. Kudos.

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks for the kind words Chad, they're really appreciated 🙏 I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the finish line footage. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment 😊

[@owenf9793]

Loved this video - I also did the TDS this year and so many memories and tears. This race will stay with me for the rest of my life. Truly life changing experience. Flooded with memories thanks to your images. Congrats to you and Steve.

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Owen and well done on the TDS! I'm glad the video bought back memories, more good than bad I hope 😊 It sure was a tough race, one of the hardest I've ever done! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

[@jeffloflin6316]

Holy Cow! Great job and what inspiration this provides to the masses. God bless Lloyd!

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Jeff 👍 It sure was a tough race but I'm super happy that I dug in and made the finish. Thanks for watching and your kind words 🙏😊

[@kevinjames1930]

Excellent video. I am moved by the running, the panoramic views, and the friendship shown amongst the community, Well Done!

[@patrickcarroll334]

Bud that finish nearly, very nearly, had me shed a tear. Absolute massive and total respect. Great effort and even more so what a wonderful display of friendship, love and support. You and The Pirate showed how far those precious things can take us. Chapeau to you all. An inspiration many many thanks Loyd

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Pat, that's really appreciated! It was an amazing adventure we all had and I'm so glad I hung on and made it to the finish. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

[@fatrunner]

I cried when you crossed the finish line, just amazing and really appreciate you capturing the lows as well as the highs.

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks so much for your kind words, they're really appreciated! Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙏😊

Best. Video. Ever ! Congrats and much love to the 3 of you... Epic.

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Carl, that's very kind! Really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏😊

[@Steve-vr6mq]

Brilliant!! A brilliant achievement for you both in what looks like an epic and yet brutal race. Brilliantly capturing the highs and the lows of your run in this film, which is one of the best videos I think you’ve done. Inspirational. Thank you for sharing

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Steve, that's really kind! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and you feel it captured all that 😊 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

[@kamanyau1560]

Thank you Lloyd and Steve for taking us on your epic TDS journey! Absolutely amazing, you guys are such an inspiration!

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks for your very kind words Kaman, they're really appreciated! I'm gkad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙏😊

[@beardodraeb]

Congrats to you and the team. Really enjoyed the video as it reminded me of some of the amazing views on the route. You weren't the only one going to sack it off at Beaufort, I nearly did too and would've done without my Wife's support. I was just leaving that ski lift after having a kip when you guys got there. It was a life saving little sleep that one as I'd been falling asleep whilst walking. So glad you all finished. 👍

[@Run4Adventure]

I'm glad to hear you dug in and got the finish Dave, great effort 💪 The short sleeps made a big difference, I was the same as you, I fell asleep a couple of times walking! It was a crazy race but I'm glad I ticked it off 😊 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

[@markdawson2989]

Great watching your 2022 TDS video again. I did it again this year after my DNF at Beaufort last year. Despite being very sick in the woods before Beaufort this time I carried on after an hour at the check point. Made it to the finish line this time and loved the Chamonix finish. I'm glad we had -5 degrees in the hills this year, much better than how hot it was last year. Looking forward to more race videos from you. Bravo!

[@Run4Adventure]

Well done Mark for getting it done this year! It sure is a tough race and that decent down to Beaufort is ridiculous. I'm glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏😊

[@robsbeenrunning]

I already said it on the other social media channels my friend, but that really was awsome. Massive respect to you and Steve for completing that race and not forgetting Liga on support, you all did a sterling job. UTMB looks like a magical, but also soul breaking place, and you can't help but be inspired to want to race there. Congratulations on the race and the video, hopefully catch up with you in January at the ARC.

[@Run4Adventure]

It's definitely a magical place but it can be a brutal place as well! 🥵 It was a massive team effort and I'd have been lost with out Liga and Steve. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel, see you at the Arc! 🙏😊

[@johnmcnulty1129]

That looked absolutely brutal Loyd, respect for completing. When you're entering the "red zone" both physically & mentally and still have the strength to film & commentate, whilst at the same time nailing a positive narrative. Obviously the views are out of the ball park, but when you're running on fumes in that heat, on 20 min cat naps, appreciation of the views gonna be the last thing on the mind, even the mind of a seasoned warrior ! Well done

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks John, that's really appreciated 👍 It sure was a tough 39hrs in the mountains and I had to dig deep to get back to that finish line! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

[@karlthornton8022]

A perfect moment in time is how I described this year's UTMB week to my partner Michelle. Awesome memories. Completed the OCC, meeting so many great people, tracking people I have followed on insta, youtube etc including yourself and Steve. Gutted for Ben Parkes and Sage Canaday, but ultra trail is a journey. I encourage anyone who has not yet undertaken trail running to start the journey. The community I have experienced in the Trail running scene is off the chart, from 5km right through to ultra distances. Awesome.

[@Run4Adventure]

I'm glad you enjoy your UTMB experience and well done on the OCC! Chamonix at UTMB is a magical place that's for sure and the trail running community is awesome. Such a shame for Ben and Sage but these things can happen when your running in the mountains 😔 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏

[@kevingoodwill2856]

great adventure! Super Positive. Thanks for making this film, massive inspiration to pick yourself up when the chips are down. You remind me of Jimmy Bullard :D:D

[@richardnottage4737]

High highs, low lows. Inspirational effort. Superb story-telling. Well done!

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Richard, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. There really were some low points in the race for me so I'm so happy I dug deep and made it back! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

[@richardnottage4737]

@@Run4AdventureAgain, awesome achievement and good to hear/'see' you on Ben Parkes' utmb video too. They certainly did look after each other 🙂

[@PaulCoatesTrailRunning]

Wonderfully open and honest. What an epic adventure. So nice to see Stephen Cousins as well. Keep up the great work. The highs and lows and the team work with Steve Wyatt and Liga. Superb 🎉

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Paul, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! It really was a team effort out there and I'm sure I'd have struggled to finish without their support. We had an awesome trip and I can't wait for the next adventure. Hope you are fit and well and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊

Congrats again Loyd, you can really be proud of your journey and huge respect to you, Steve and all the runners on this epic race! Great job with that video which, i think, reflects very well all the differents states and emotions you've been through to reach your dream. I'm also glad to have done my little part of support at the cormet de Roselend (not sure you'll see the cornish flag super often, moreover raised in frenchman's hands ^^) and later at night too, a little bit after Beaufort and at the very beginning of the climb to Hauteluce. Please keep on making such an amazing job on the tracks and behind the screen, it's super inspiring for many people ! 🙏

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks Yann and thanks so much for your support out on the course! The last thing I expected to see was a Cornish flag and it really did lift the spirits 😊 I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it's really appreciated 🙏😊

That was EPIC, what an adventure and great video. Love the bit when you were moaning to Liga about distance between checkpoints or did you see what we've just had to run through...makes the finish even more sweet. Would be so boring for you if it was easy.

Hats off to you. Think of all the humans in the world and you have to be up there in just a fraction of the 1% who could contemplate this challenge, never mind complete it.

[@joellaing228]

Congratulations Lloyd! Massive achievement. It was great to see the journey including the mental battle. I think negative thinking can destroy you, and it takes a lot to flip the script once you entertain it. I could see it with your comments about it being too hot, too steep, not enough water etc and it snowballs under extreme fatigue and lack of sleep. You should be proud that you pulled yourself out of it, and got it done. I am sure Steve and Liga must have been so valuable to get you through it. Incredible grit and heart....The battle is always against ourself.

[@Run4Adventure]

Thanks for the positive vibes Dan, they really helped! All the support we were getting was amazing, it blew my mide if I'm honest. It was a tough 39hrs in the mountains and definitely a team effort. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel its really appreciated 🙏😊

[@markdawson2989]

Brilliant effort and great video! I was runnng it too. I know what you felt like coming out of the woods before Beaufort! I was quite positive after getting a few messages from friends before that section, but went into a total downer after the woods mountain bike trail section. Sat down totally knackered and dropped out without thinking it through. I should have thought of things being better once we were through to the dawn and the great views again. My first two nighter, so lessons learned. Well done again! After looking at your previous videos I trekked the Grand Balcon Nord two days after the run and was blown away. So beautiful. Fantastic 15 miles and 5,100m ascent.

I feel for you Mark because I would properly have done the same thing if I didn't have Liga and Steve around! That descent to Beaufort really kicked the stuffing out of you so I totally understand how you were feeling. The sleep did me a world of good, my brain just needed a rest but the second night is always the tricky part of races like this! Hope you are recovering well and it just means you need to get back out there next year and finish it off! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it's appreciated 🙏😊

@@Run4Adventure Yes, I've entered the Ultra Trail Snowdonia race in May and I'll see if I get a place for the TDS again at some point. At least I'll know what's coming if I do it again.

[@Run4Adventure]

@@markdawson2989 You don't actually need any running stones for the TDS next year, you can just enter the race! You'll definitely be more prepared next time around and you'll get to that iconic finish line in Chamonix 🏃‍♂️⛰️ I'm thinking of running the UTS so I might see you there 😊

[@markdawson2989]

@@Run4Adventure Yes I just noticed that on the Brits at UTMB site last week. See if I can get a place in the first come first served entry place for TDS, I have a 100K qualifying race from St Cuthbert's Way and a few others. I'm just in the 100K at the UTS, don't want another DNF trying the 100M and still get 3 stones.
