Maverick X Chilterns Ultra 2024
Maverick Race does it again, with a fantastic 50km route and top-tier vibes at their X-Series Chilterns Ultra! Favourable conditions meant I got around (relatively) comfortably in under 5 hours. This video offers a glimpse of the course, the scenery along the way, and occasional commentary from yours truly. Enjoy!

FIRST PLACE! at the Salisbury Plain Ultra 50 miler 2024 | My first ultramarathon podium finish
มุมมอง 3264 หลายเดือนก่อน
I won my first ultra - and I only signed up for it a few days beforehand! Had a great time running 50 miles around Salisbury Plain, the largest military training ground in the UK. Rather than racing it, I made a new friend and we crossed the finish line together, but one of us had to get first place and my chip time clinched it! A really well organised event by And-Over Trail Events with fabulo...

Double London Marathon 2023 | nohtaraM nodnoL + London Marathon in one day
มุมมอง 4.4Kปีที่แล้ว
To mix things up a bit this year, I ran the Backwards London Marathon and then the regular @TCSLondonMarathon, back-to-back! It was a fantastic day out, and I really enjoyed the contrast between running on the empty streets which were then utterly packed just a few hours later. As always, massive thanks to the volunteers and organisers for putting together one of the greatest races in the world!

Some have described Centurion Running's South Downs Way 100 event as the "crown jewel" in their series, and I can definitely see where they're coming from! This video chronicles a (mostly) enjoyable day on lovely trails with favourable weather and fantastic people - and my 4th 100 mile ultramarathon finish.

hello everything is fine? I saw that you arrived at 6:30 at the grant park and entered the corral a/b. Was it ok to leave the clothes in the locker? bathroom?
Yeah, one of the things I love about Chicago is that despite being a big city race the start area has plenty of space and doesn’t feel super chaotic. I had time to drop my bag, hit the porta-potty and walk to the corral, but not much else as I don’t like a lot of waiting around. Hope you have a great race!
Geen water man
So much variety on the course without looking too technical. Excellent running, James. It looked like a good event.
Not technical at all really - everything was quite runnable. I think it could be quite a fast course if someone wanted to really put the hammer down. There’s so much great running in the area, I’m going back next weekend for the Centurion Chiltern Wonderland 50 miler 😊
Looks like a beautiful course.
Yeah, it was - a nice variety too.
Great video. Will you run it next year
Yep - already entered. See you there?
Looking to enter it. Dont think ill be beating you though 😅@runjamesrun
@runjamesrun never done an ultra but does look interesting
it’s a great first ultra if you live in London, @@MihaliWheeler
I know Ealing very well :)@@runjamesrun
Making it look easy lads 😁👍🏻🏃♂️
Is most of this race off road , it looks amazing
Yeah a very small amount of paved road - the vast majority is crushed gravel and there are a few very nice sections of single track trail too. Very runnable throughout (we accidentally spent the first few hours on target for a 7hr finish before we reined it in a bit 😅)
Ran London in 2023 also, but glad I took the nice trains to the start 😂
I found your phone! ( I think 😄). Picked up an iPhone quite early on and ran with it for a few km, glad they got it back to you! 🏃🏿♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏻♀️
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! Around the 7km mark? I’m so glad a runner found it and gave it to the event staff and it wasn’t a random hiker 😅. Hope you enjoyed your day?
@@runjamesrun sounds about right 👍🙂 and no worries at all, just glad it found its way back to you 👍. Was a great route but a bit tougher than I planned for, always the way 😆 happy trails!
Thanks for losing your phone and getting cramp for our entertainment, James 😂 If you could introduce even more jeopardy into the next race, that'd be great! 😁👍🏻
I aim to please 😅. If my GoPro hadn’t died during the 2022 Thames Path 100 you’d have been treated to 40+ miles of me fantasising in great detail about how comfy the taxi ride home was going to be 😆.
is it allowed to drink more than one cup on each chateu?
Yes, if you want to - but I’m not sure I would recommend it! 🥴
super cool!
Great idea for an ultra. That flooded bit was a bit wet 😅 Well done, James.
Thanks 😊. The water wasn’t too bad honestly - I’ve certainly had to run through much worse!
Always nice to find new races via TH-cam videos, I have added this on to my race calendar for next year.
Awesome! You’re in for a treat 😊
Muddy! 😂❤
well done
Wow! Well done 🎉 This is truly amazing! It’s amazing what the body is capable of doing. ❤️
Best breakdown i have seen yet
Hi!! I'm doing the same this year. Aiming for a slower first in about 5hrs with friends, then about 4:30 for the second. Any tips, lessons, things you'd do differently??
Ah you'll have a great experience! There's a large group that does the backwards run in the middle of the night rather than the early morning, and I expect it would be really fun to do it with them, but I aimed to get to the start with just enough time to change and turn right around so that I didn't get too cold, stiff, etc. If I was going to do it again I might give myself time for a McDonalds breakfast in between! The main thing to think about is carrying food and drink for your first leg, and I brought my drop bag in my pack so that I could drop it off and lose the extra weight for the second half. It is really easy to get lost in Canary Wharf because your GPS will be useless, so pay attention in that section :) Let me know how it goes!
@@runjamesrun cheers! There's a group of Bad Boy Runners doing it and we're setting off at 2am. Some are just doing the backwards, so they can take kit etc to save carrying it forwards. Really looking forward to it! 👍
Great run! Really looking forward to doing it this year!!
See you this year?
Yup! Can’t wait 😊
@@runjamesrun awesome! Silver Medal 🥈
@@TheSiameseDreamerI will try, but it is such a big step up 😅
James, fair play - amazing! I’ve run London a couple of times but have also done event set up (putting up the big ‘Toblerone’ advertising hoardings on Tower Bridge, Cutty Sark and at the start. You’d often see people running it back to front coming into Red and Blue starts by about 8/9 am. The thought of then turning around and doing it again makes me a bit queasy! 😂😂 Great vid. Are you doing ‘24?
Hey, thanks so much for all your hard work making the course look so awesome - and for the friendly waves at the nutters doing it backwards 👋. I don't have a place next year unfortunately, so will need to figure out what my running goals are going to be. How about you?
Just watched this as I'm running it tomorrow. I have your number this year! (288). I won't be as fast as you though! Thanks for a great video; am really looking forward to running this
Hey that’s brilliant! I’m sure you’re going to love it 😊
@@runjamesrunmany thanks - am really looking forward to it. You did it in an amazing time 👍👍👏👏
hi James! I have a question about this video. How can I contact you? Kind regards! Ann-Sofie
Happy to answer any question here!
@@runjamesrun did you see my question?
Nope - how can I help you@@ann-sofiesabbe2884 ?
It´s just above here. ☺️
@@ann-sofiesabbe2884 can’t you ask your question here so everyone can benefit?
This video was awesome! Super helpful for my Chicago 2024!
Hi, I am running the Chicago marathon this year and want to film it with my GoPro on a gimbal. I’m the rules it says they don’t allow any video equipment or selfie sticks of any kind. Do they check that? Did you have to hide your camera? Should I be worried they might confiscate my GoPro at the security check? Hope you can give me some advise. Thanks a lot.
I think their main concerns are not wanting any professional footage (because they've sold the rights to that) and preserving the safety of runners (because selfie sticks and people not looking where they're going are a real hazard). I didn't hide my GoPro, but I didn't flash it around either -- it was in the waistband I carry my gels and other goodies in. I just use the little handheld grip, not one of those telescoping sticks. There were several other folks with GoPros around, but I didn't see any full gimbal setups. My advice would definitely be to follow the rules, but if you choose not to, my experience was that the security guys seemed to be looking for weapons and explosives rather than cameras, so you'll probably be OK. Whatever you decide, I hope you have a fantastic race -- it is one of my absolute favourites!!
@@runjamesrun Thank you so much for your answer. I was a little concerned they might take my camera, but I've lived up to this race for so long now, had it deferred last year, I definitely want to film it. I saw the rules mention no video, so emailed the marathon itself, they replied with a copy paste of the lines from the rules. :-) It's my third Major and have my fourth coming up (NY) so want to document that journey for sure. Thanks for your help, it's made me a bit less worried now.
Wow I never realised how wonderful this iconic race is until I had to fly over 10000 Kms to run it. I love this race! It makes me reminiscent and home sick. This is what South Africa is about! Passion, dedication, discipline and courage to overcome any obstacle.
What sunglasses you wearing?
They’re Sungod Renegades
Thank you for sharing this excellent run. Thinking of going for Chicago Marathon run in 2024!
I highly recommend it - best of luck getting a place!
You are such a sweetheart I enjoyed this so much
I'm glad ☺
Amazing. Shosholoza!
Epic songs 🎵 at the start line !
Yes - goosebumps every time!
I'd love 2 try that race great video again
Good luck James if you are running this year and to other fellow comrades. Really looking forward to another vlog if you are. Awesome stuff :) #Thisisit
Thanks Kyle! I am going back, trying to execute my plan better than last year 🤞
@@runjamesrun routing for you bro! gonna be epic for sure.
Thank you 🙏. Last minute change of plans means I need to skip the race this year but it will be all systems go in 2024!
Wonderful video, so emotional, I was also there it was my first Comrades ❤
I'm so glad you liked it! How was your race?
Fantastic video James! Love your tank! (Same in Comrades) what is the brand? Thank you! 🫶
That's my South Central Brooklyn Runners club shirt from a decade ago, still my all-time favourite!
They said the top ten get gold 🥇 i want it 😂
Never say never!
You just need to RUN VERY *HARD*
Congratulations James! An epic run - you captured the scenery so well. Your technique after one hundred miles was still sharp, that’s incredible 👏
Woah, that means a heck of a lot coming from you man, thanks! It was great to share a half mile of banter with you that day before you left me in your dust - I hope to see you on the trails again some time soon 🤙
Spotted myself 👍
Awesome!
parcours plat, mais quelle descente!
You’re a mad man. 😂 Great run though, very impressive
Thanks 😅
Well done on a great run! You looked strong and comfortable all the way. Doing my first Comrades in a few weeks from now and watching content like yours is really quite inspiring and encouraging. Thanks a mill :)
Awesome! I’m sure you’re going to have an amazing experience 🤩. Best of luck for the end of the training block!
Good luck Paul. Enjoy your first. See you there🏃♂️
Awesome video James!
Thank you 🙏
Great to watch considering I've just finished the NDW 50 for the 2nd time as last years event I missed cut off by 4 minutes and this year made it with loads of time in the bank. Such an amazing achievement as the thought of going another 50 miles from where i finished yesterday probably would of killed me. Well done.
Congratulations! It was hot out there on Saturday - I'm so pleased you had a good race 🙌
Thats a serious shoehorn you have there :)
Haha yeah - a bit Crocodile Dundee isn't it!
@@runjamesrun love your style
Last race i did was on 2018 so i wanted to check a few videos to take me down memory lane. Thank you for this... Im back again this year 2023✌️🤞 LETS GO!!!!!
Comrades has lost none of its magic!! I’m sure 2023 will be incredible as always - I can’t wait 😝. Best of luck for the race!
Really enjoyed that video
Thanks Mick!
bravo, excellent temps ! avec de belles dégustations ......!!
Loneliness of the long distance runner. Congratulations from Inga DK.
