I've been running since 2003. So, by now it's been 21 years. I started in college cause I wanted to be the first student to arrive in the 10km college run. I didn't even made the top 10. I've been running marathons since 2012, so 12 years by now. And I've been trying to BQ since day 0 in marathons (so, since 2012)

8 years for me.

When they took the 10K down to a 5K, did they keep the time? Looks like you were still out there pretty early. It would have been a great idea to move the 5K up to the 10K start time and stagger the runners. Maybe they did do that. Anyways, since I've slowed way down as a runner, I don't worry about how fast I am or the miles I'm running. Let's just go out there and have some fun!!!

FUCKING BRILLIANT, omg, so good.

Can hear dryer ..good music

Thank you sweetheart and it's true who jabs you is very important I have had bad experience

Hi my name is Florence Hallinan I have hemochromatosis I was born with this and I would really like to talk to you please I thank you for sharing I should do like you because no humans understand us until they listen

I climbed it to from east to west John Muir trail 11 days,, loved it, looks like you got married in Newport Beach harbor, on the mark Twain style paddle boat ,,I did too small world thanks for the video I did it in 1990 had only 1 pic , got to remember it again thank you

I felt really depressed. Even though I was running to avoid that. Now it makes it hard to want to get on the horse again.

very interesting video. FWIW, here are my thoughts as a guy who first climbed MW at age 49 and climbed it 12 times, 10 of which were day hikes. The keys to a successful day hike of MW are (1) to get in superb hiking condition, (2) acclimate a min of 4 nights at 8,200+elevation, and (3rd), stay hydrated... I did this by living in San Diego and day hiking San Jacinto (16 miles), San Gorgonio (19) miles and hiking Baldy often. Also it helps to be experienced with high altitude, previous to MW, I skied every year at Mammoth and Colorado resorts, I have spent a lot of time above 10,000' exercising hard...Before my first MW summit I did San Jacinto 5x in 5 weeks, in addition to climbing the local 500' hill from 3 directions to make it a 1,500' hill. There is absolutely no substitute for putting in the time and effort to hike as many 10,000' high mountains as possible. Not once or twice, I would do them 5-8x before MW. San Gorgonio is a good proxy for MW, if you have any problems with SG, don't try MW. Second, you must acclimate, that doesn't mean sit in the Portal for a few nights. Better to go to Mammoth at 8,200', spend the day climbing Mammoth and hanging out at the summit at 11,053", panoramic views, food, bathrooms and a gondola ride down. Stay in Mammoth for 3 nights, then spend the 4th night at the Portal. Finally, be sure to have your water pump ready and stay hydrated. Two more tips...bring diamox and the day before the hike, take a half a pill. On the actual hike, when you get to Trail Camp, take another 1/2 diamox. When I would summit, I would take 1/2 an Excedrin Migraine, that helped ward off the headache that comes on the descent. I would NOT start at 1am, you need all the sleep you can get, I would go to sleep at 800pm and awake at 3am, depart the Portal at 4am, summit at 11am, down by 330-4pm. Starting at 1am will unnecessarily tire you out. If you can't day hike MW between 4am-6pm, then you shouldn't be trying. Final thought is hydration. You will get good at that after doing many prep hikes, experiment and find what works for you. And finally, this whole idea of "3 tips for beginners on MW" is foolish, beginners should not be on MW, don't even consider doing MW unless you have done enough prep work to be an intermediate hiker. So there you have it, the keys to a successful MW hike, it's really not that hard if you are hike hardened and in MW shape as I called it...! Good luck everyone

This race will be my first ever 10K and naturally, my anxiety has been through the roof. Thank you so much for posting this!!!! 🙏

Stats is always a good reminder of where we were at that point in time 👍🏼

Thank you Anthony! Great info, see you Sunday!

Hi Anthony how are you? Do you know if I can pick up the bib the same day of the run?

I truly enjoy your videos Anthony. I did think about doing my own. I have quite a few ideas for topics and content. Maybe one day......

I have been using belvita soft bakes ( blueberry ) very cheap, and when you compare the nutritional information with the styrkr bar, they are very similar. And they are so cheap. Honestly are so good. Highly recommend......

geting one done today iam nervous.

I have a curious question If one is doing the 5k and the 10k do they get two shirts and two medals? :O

It’s going to be great for spectators, you get to see your family a few time. I should schedule this race for next year. Is close to my birthday 🤷🏻‍♂️. But definitely register fast bibs go fast.

Why do they ship the monitor/plate without any cardboard or plastic to keep it in place inside the box?!?! I thought mine was the only one that came that way

Can I put the standard 16.9 fl oz water bottles in the front pockets or is that a bad idea? Could they possibly rip the vest?

I know my SEO is horrible. I am at a place right now that I don't have the equipment or time to put into my channel but I'm working on improving that. Sort of finding my niche back at running since i starting having the back pain last year. I'm hanging in there but still not where I really want to be either way. Thanks for the tips. They work to help motivate people like me that already have one but are struggling to grow. Thanks Anthony.

Completely agree Anthony! Having a youtube channel is brilliant. It helps give you a great creative and social outlet. Plus in terms of running it helps keep.ypu accountable. If you say you're going to do something people will be expecting you to do it so it helps keep you motivated and focused on your training. Thanks for sharing TH-cam experience love buddy. Stay safe out there! 😎🤘

Getting close to the 2k subscribers 👍🏼 Good job Anthony 👏🏼👏🏼. A friend of mine told me, you got a very good camera (insta360 X2), why not post your races. So I’ve been posting those 🤷🏻‍♂️. Some people like that type of videos. Like you said, the community that goes with it is great.

Let’s go Anthony!!

KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE

Sending best wishes for a speedy recovery and that everything is ok.

My comments are made as a former paratrooper, Ranger Qualified, and multiple wilderness survival courses and ascents of several mountains. I have ascended Whitney and Kilimanjaro to name two. Here are other mistakes you made: 1. You left too late. 4am was way too late to summit and return back down in daylight. The easiest part of the trail is the ascent. It can be done at night. You want to descend in daylight if for no other reason you’re tired and more prone to injury or getting lost; 2. You failed to take wet weather gear. Mountains produce their own weather patterns. Never ascend a mountain without rain weather gear as hypothermia is the biggest killer. One can easily die of hypothermia if wet at 40 degrees. I would never spend any time outdoors without some form of poncho. Always assume you will have to stay the night due to unforeseen injury or getting lost. Take emergency food too, and Tylenol (aspirin will prevent blood clotting if injured- so use Tylenol). Always carry a candle, matches for immediate warmth. Cover yourself with a poncho, light sterno or candle underneath poncho, toasty warm). 3. You failed to take backup lighting. Your life literally depends on you ascending or descending in darkness. So you need good lighting. Never trust your life to one headlamp. Always take two plus an emergency flashlight. Last, never go alone. Actually three are better. If someone gets hurt, one can go for aid while the other tends the wounded.

I carry a Incrediwear ankle brace in my pack just in case. And I ware my knee braces. Nice video. Thank you for sharing. We are planning on doing it in July 2025 Happy hiking I recommend doing big pine lakes. It's another good hike

Was looking for an unboxing video, and found the perfect one.

fun vid!

If the list of running clubs in the San Fernando valley (the index card that you mentioned) is available online, please post it if possible. I run in the SFV but have a hard time finding a club to join. Thanks.

Nice account. Gruelling hike.

I'm injured and have been injured trying to figure out how to heal but took time off and didn't help so running again, I like to be outdoors running and like the feeling my therapy

I started running at the age of 50. My first marathon was in 2017, and qualified for Boston. I have been running for 11 years.

thanks brother

Women have to be superior to men since they carry us for 9 months.

I run in my 20-50's. I had a leg injury that took me off the roads. After physical therapy and healing I had gotten out of the habit and work took up that time. So now I retired and am returning to running and want to do it safely. Thank you for the tips!

"Was it worth it?" That's a silly question! You're still alive, so YES! Unless maybe you lost a friend up there.

Dude, congrats. It’s asking a lot from anyone to do Whitney in one day. I’ve climbed it about 7 times from 3 different directions, but NEVER as a 1 dayer. That came into fashion mostly when the hike got too popular and they had to start the lottery. But rolling an ankle on the downclimb ! That is cringeworthy, as was your photo of it. I’m glad you found your trail angels. There’s still good folks in the world.

Thanks for the great recap of the Run The Valley Fest! Loved seeing you out here in the Valley mingling with this very special community. See you around during LARR season

I am even more disappointed when I am all ready to go for a run and my watch is not properly charged. 😡

What a great video you went down to my area the San Fernando Valley😊

I have 1350+ miles on my novablast ones ( gps , no guesswork), i just cant let them go. ❤ I'm so in love with them, we've been globetrotting together for so long 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️
