Great video, those trails up north look stunning! Keep up the training, I’ll see you at Tahoe!

This is so helpful as a new runner. I’m training for my first marathon and I’m trying to balance this exact mindset

no one cares... literally

Thanks for the jacket link I live east of Calgary and ran on this same day and FROZE my ass off.

Im just back from a snow run, we got about 6 inches of the fluffy stuff. Sun was coming up and shining through the snow in the trees and it was beautiful. Worth the struggle of going slower, i wear a trail sneaker for better grip when the weather is icy or snowy. Looks beautiful up there 😍

Absolutely not, i just completed a 10k faster program for 8 weeks and lost my last five pounds and feel great. 🎉😊

Getting to wake up before sunrise to get in my run before work is a privilege that not everyone has, even if my own privilege is temporary. Great thoughts thanks for sharing 😊

Brother. I have to say your editing work along with the content is next level. That of someone who does this full time. Well done. I look forward to following your journey. Thanks for the content.

When I think of all the runs I've ran, I always think I'm running towards myself, a better self, I'm chasing her. Always keep moving forward, you're running to meet yourself in a better place 😊

I keep randomly getting your videos recommended and I really enjoy them. Gonna have to sub. 😂 The trails there were sooo green how can that be in Canada? 😂

I don't understand how he doesn't have more subs and waaaaaaay more views. Your stuff is gold.

Sound advice bro

Here is a link to the trail runvictoria.ca/trail-routes/

Awesome place to train , enjoy! Thanks for sharing 😊

You make it look so easy but it’s really difficult

Don’t forget to exhale when u go down and inhale when u go up but good job 👍

I think it’s a great idea to start your training and your logistical preparation early, and to bring in a coach with some ultra experience. It seems like you’re really setting yourself up for success. I’ll be interested to see how your training goes. And maybe I’ll see you blowing past me on the trail in June!

Pacers- I have had a few good here are the qualities. I had a pacer who was a super chatty lady, she would just tell amazing stories about places she ran. I was so tired and hurting that it was actually a nice distraction to focus on her story. I also had my bro in law pace me and he was quiet and gave me my space. Rules for pacers - they are not permitted to complain about anything that is hurting them in the moment chances are you are in worse pain, they should never ask you how you are doing or how you are feeling (you are running 200 miles you are not going ot want answer how you are feeling). I good pacer will do whatever you need, tell them if you want some quite time,. They should just encourage you and assess your coherence. Crew - i know you didn't ask for any advice here but i had used friends and family to crew me and I wish i would have trained them and given them better instructions ( spreadsheets :) I have crewed a few people in the past and the crew boss needs to have thick skin because they may very well get to see your dark site ( so choose wisely). I will be at LSU too in September, I got the 100 done but the 50 k seems to be my nemesis strangely enough . Also agree 100% with warrenl3545 Prairie mountain repeat. Calgary Trail running meet up club used ot do them often, if you have not tried out that group they are quite good to run with and will et you out in the mts a bit more ( safety in numbers)

That's a set not a rep

Is it easy?

Good job👍

Was going to do it, but got tired thinking about it😊

Sunday was a mixed bag for sure. I had two dogs with me (one husky) and it felt like I was training for the Iditarod. I did a couple overnight Sartan races and found Nose Hill at night to be good practice. As for the legs and lungs you will need for Tahoe, Prairie mountain works well. There's lots of ups, decent, and flat connector trails. I would offer to help pace, but I've only done that on shorter distances.

i will watch your journey and progress and see what training you do. i never see much training on the endurance vlogs of athletes running or training on hills. where i live in UK soon as i start my run I'm faced with a step incline for 1/2 mile and is a killer as well as other hills would love to see athletes showing some hill training. good luck will be following.

🔥💪🏻🏋🏻‍♂️👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻👍🏻

That was good 😊

Nice job

The pulse belt works just fine for me.

I see a Welsh flag

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.

Get the SHokz for sure, i use mine to call and talk to my mom while I am out on my long slow run LOL... double dip on time with family AND training :).

How do you exercise River on days when you're either not running or doing a really long run? Like you, I expect that this would likely be two days each week in my case when ramping up for a marathon or half. Thanks!

He barely goes down for a push up. It looks like half rep push ups

1 rep???? 😅😅😅😅

Super clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clean!

They need to drop the "DNF" phrase for when you stop. Very negative for a positive accomplishment, regardless of the distance. And if you run 100 miles and get a DNF because somebody else ran 104... gimmie a break - you didn't DNF just because somebody else went farther. I predict in 5 years that term will be replaced with FY (finished yard) and then the lap number. As in somebody had a FY15. Much more useful and descriptive term.

I always get a good laugh out of all the declarations and instructing others on how things are going to go and stretching/warming up like it’s going to help whatsoever. Your first lap is your warmup (save your energy) and just have a loose plan and go with the flow.

I can fart twice in a row. But sometimes i have this dream, this wonderfull tought,.. That i could be able to fart 3 times in a row.

This is so true and I think about it always, it opens up possibilities for you!

Thanks for sharing. I'm hoping to get a GSP next spring/summer, and start running with it after it's fully grown. The one reservation I have is that I usually run on pavement/asphalt, and that the impact would be too stressful on the joints for longer distances (10+ miles). What surface do you usually run on?

I wonder what my grandchildren will have

Woah i never thought of it that way

I became an evening runner when my kids were young, get them to bed and then head out and it just stuck. I have tried morning running but prefer the evening because of if I want to turn 7k into 12k, I don’t have to worry about running out of time. Great gym you have there!

I run morning, evening, night all time of the day. :) When it fit's in with having smaller kids. :) I love to run in the winter and in the dark, from Denmark, so we have many dark hours, rain, grey skys. So it's better in the dark. But nice video, keep that up.

I've started morning running but to keep my day the same I've changed my wake up time to 04:30. It's only day 11 but so far I'm still going strong. I like the feeling being out when no one is about and doing something positive when everyone else is sleeping. Great video.

Hi there I’m a couple years older than you live in uk love the vlogs keep it up

I unfortunately fire up the vehicle by 5:20, so morning runs are a bit rare. I do love the morning run mindset montra though. You do build resiliency.

This is even better than the last. This shorts really make me and others think about how we live our lives. It makes us realize how little we do in our lives just because we don’t take risks. I love this video. Keep up the good work!

damn I felt this ty
