- We're now on the longest stage of a 7-day stage race in the country of Georgia with Racing the Planet where we're running 250 km while carrying all of our food and supplies for the week on our backs. The first four days of the race were just a wam-up for today.

Wow, really cool decision that Florian stayed with you through that long stage and you got to chat a bit. I really admire his attitude towards running and racing, it's really rare to encounter a top athlete who is not focused on winning and giving 100% at all times. It's a pity that the weather conditions forced you to take a shorter route, but nontheless the scenery was stunning!
This is just outstanding. Too much greatness to list but I loved the "I'm not chasing records, I'm here to enjoy life" and also "There was a point I didn't think I was going to make it, but here I am". When people ask my why I run ultras and I do so much training I have my canned answer but really it comes down to the solitude. I work all day with people, grocery shop: people, people everywhere. I have kids, a wife, extended family....people! I love my kids and my wife and all the people, but DAMN that training in the hills where I don't see another human being for 3 hours, it's indescribable what that does for me. Being an introvert I recharge mentally on those long runs and races. I couldn't love being alone in those moments more. I have also come to appreciate running in the mountains with friends too though so I can totally appreciate where Florian was coming from. Last thing I will say on this is what else is interesting is how in a race you will make all sorts of "friends". On long 50M races I have made best friends with 75 year old women, 18 year old guys and everything in between. Every race it seems you pass that one person a few times, they pass you a few times and then before you know it you are racing buddies for the next 20-30K. It's a crazy world runners live in. Their question was valid though.....how do you make it look so easy:) This video is amazing and rejuvenates my excitement for the human race:)
Excellent episode Jeff! Would be really interested in a follow-up with Florian for a more detailed breakdown of his pack and the how's and why's of what he picked since it looks so small! I'm always interested in ways to optimize gear especially for long self sustaining efforts such as these.
Could not agree more! Super curious about Florian’s pack especially after seen the care you put in organising yours in the most efficient way Jeff. His looks like the pack I carry for a 50miler in the Alps 😂
I have reminders set in my phone to watch each episode when it comes out. Absolutely love this series and all your videos in general
Yeah ive got to agree , i am Not here for records , i want to enjoy Life ❤
I'm simply in love with that community you are showing in every episode... Said it before, saying it again: How is everything this nice and inspiring! I'm so excited for the weather to get warmer here in Germany. Started running again after a long time last September, but had to pause end of October due to knee pain. Since then, I already got down the extra Christmas-weight and did a lot of exercises to strengthen my feet and knee for upcoming runs.
Your videos definitely inspire to go running, can't wait to start over again and meet with like-mind people like the ones in your films. Oh, and cannot wait for the finale of this series. Cheers! 🤓
All the things I love about trail running are in this series. Beautiful scenery, amazing people, and the camaraderie of the runners. I’m sure it’s hard to leave after the race has finished.
Just missed the live release but I'm so excited for this one! Jeff, as many others have said, your storytelling is among the best on TH-cam. I've been waiting to watch The Long March since you said there would be a stage this long - this is great!
I love your channel and really enjoyed Racing Georgia. Thank you from Nova Scotia!
Amazing Jeff, congratulations! It was like reliving the experience - brought back many beautiful memories. Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed the scenery in this one. This series is your best work to date. Kudos to you and your production team!
Wow. You make it look so easy Jeff! But such beautiful filming and very nice to hear from Florian.
Wow, so moving to see the emotions of the finishers. I struggle to keep 5:00 per km with no pack for smooth 10-15km trails… and these guys did it with a pack for 60+ km! Well done👍
I was just about to say the same thing! How do you do that?
@@Leclicq Genetics take up a smaller part. Hard training and devoting is the majority. Human body can be an unbelievable machine.
@@DamirUlovec 100% agreed. But still I run about 75k a week and still completely blown away 🥰.
See you @Eiger!!! Jeff I’ll come and say hi if I see you. Your videos have really meant a lot to me.
@@Leclicq Same here.
The part of the race we are waiting for too. This series is out of this world!
I literally crying watching this. Everyone was so supportive towards each other regardless where u come from. I cant imagine being of you…and being there. Im jealous 😢
Oh wow, what a journey, makes me sad it’s going to end, but also happy I was able to experience it at least in digital form! I think you’ve made friends for life, which along with the memories is probably the most precious thing you’ve left Georgia with 😊❤
such an inspiring treat to watch, what a beautiful valleys of wild flowers and amazing racers, Great Job and thanks for taking your precious time filming, narrating , adding beautiful music and sharing with us
Incredible effort. Your filming and production also goes from strength to strength. I especially liked your music choice in this episode. Amazing, thanks for another great installment!
Ok but why did I just cry watching the end of this? Everyone is so inspiring! And Jeff you're so nice to everyone, I love to see how you interact with everyone at the checkpoints. Your way of storytelling is second to none too. Thanks so much for sharing! Watching your Namibia series while waiting for the next instalment of this Georgia one.
Superb. Looked like smooth sailing (despite the miles) from start to finish. Nice to meet Florian. He’s got a great outlook on all of this. I’m really loving this landscape. Georgia doesn’t get a lot of… or enough love, I should say, on the global stage.
It’s unanimous! We love these stage races and you must must do a video on dog encounters!
Beautiful country! Wonderful film Jeff, I love the scenery and listening to the stories of the other runners. You all amaze me!
I love the end of this one Jeff, you can see what it means to everyone.
Wow Jeff, this series is incredible. Getting emotional every epsiode. The views, the soundtrack, the landscape, the DOGS!
Just…WOW!! 👏🏼
This was absolutely amazing to watch.
Fantastic job! Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see what your next adventure entails!!!
These video series are great, thank you for sharing your journeys
You made that look effortless! Another amazing run, thank you
So good, can't wait for the finale!
Awesome and inspiring....Thanks, Jeff.
Amazing 👏
I'm already looking forward to the next episode! Great performance and very inspiring 👍
I love this channel.
Your content is so inspiring, many thanks! 👍🏿💪🏾
Again way too good! 👊🤠
Wow!
i feel sad imagining your series coming to an end so i an only imagine how you guys felt out there! thank you for taking us on this amazing journey.
Brilliant filming 👍👍🏃🏻♂️💪
Awesome journey and outstanding film making.
Such beautiful scenery in this stage! I’m really enjoying this series and seeing all of you grow closer together. Very well done film!
Once again another amazing episode, from the running to the filming. Been hooked since the first episode 💪🏻
dear jeff, thank you very much for sharing your adventures.
Just..Excellent stuff Jeff..so enjoyable and so well made..hope you get all the rewards and more that this great content deserves..thanks👍
Amazing inspirational athletes! What a journey and a beautiful country!
Your filming and running so enjoyable to watch Jeff
Congratulations 👏
So moving. Such beautiful countryside and omg that camp, couldn't be a better location! I'm really pleased you had such a good run and shared experience.
Incredible scenery amazing running and incredible emotions of runners at each stage
This video really put the biggest smile on my face. I've been so frustrated with myself lately for not being able to sustain the running volume I feel like I should be able to. But I keep showing signs of overreaching and thus have to modify my training plan to not hurt myself. I really want to get good (sooner rather than later...), but I'm pushing myself too hard. This video reminded me that running isn't a "race" (no pun indented lol). It's about the journey, the adventure, the community. All of you have been running for years, I don't need to be able to bust out a 60k in a few months after only running for the last 6 months lol. I'll get to your level in my own time. :3
Your videos are always so amazing. You deserve so many more subs. A breath of fresh air compared tot 99% of youtube content. Thank you so much ❤.
what a fantastic week...I hope I get accepted as volunteer for future races...See you out there Jeff
I just don't want this series to end....
Love the community that this race brings together and that you cultivate in all your videos. Anyone else get really stoked to go run around in the mountains after watching Jeff's videos?
Thanks so much for the support! 🙏
Wow! So beautiful and so remote. Was that one village you passed empty?
Amazing! These races are very inspirational. I admire the grit that you and the other runners have to accomplish a race like this. A 50k is the furthest I've run, and that was a daunting race for me. I appreciate your videos. They keep me motivated to continue my training.
I'm running a few crazy races this year that you'd probably consider a warm up run. The RUT 28k at Big Sky, MT. Also the HURL Elkhorn 50k race in Clancy, MT.
What a great decision to run together. I'd be really interested to see a behind the scenes from the point of the camera work, the people who help film if you ever get a chance.
I cannot tell you how much your videos and this series in particular are giving to me in drive and inspiration, Jeff. I am just a half Marathon guy but I enjoy every km I run either in my 'big' city of Budapest, Hungary, or out in the countryside in the warmer seasons. Thank you for that. One more question, if you allow. I may have missed this info but did you have a support crew taking the drone shots and the rest of the non-selfie stick footage? What an amazing adventure, I absolutely fell in love with Georgia through you videos, thanks again!

I should have done this a lot sooner but I have now joined you channel to support you with a modest monthly donation. You deserve every cent of it :)
Zs
Thanks so much for support!
Congrats, awesome video (as always, btw)! Curiosity: how can you film using the drone while you´re running?
❤
Love your work Jeff. Out of curiosity, how was your average HR looks like throughout the long run? Did you stay between zone 2&3 throughout the whole run?
Is it me or the bag that Florian Vieux is using is jumping around a lot less than the one that Jeff is using? By the way Florian did 6h52 at the 100km world championship finishing 27 so definitively a very impressive runner.
Yea, his bag definitely has a much better fit to it. Florian killed it in his goal race!
Loved it! How do you go about selecting the background music?
Thanks! I license all my music from a website called Epidemic Sound and I invest quite a bit of time on the process, but I really enjoy it.
Dear Jeff, another great video and day in Georgia! May I ask, what size of Salomon vest are you wearing? buying my first one right now and having a bit of a back and forth between sizes and the two of us seem to be roughly the same bodysize & -type. Thanks!
I have the Small/Medium.
Jeff, tell us more about this race in Georgia, how to register for it, where can I find information about this race, will it be held in 2023 and 2024? Thank you in advance!
I’ll include some of that information in the final episode!
Really love your videos and this series overall, but why do you need to keep referring to Georgia as a former soviet republic? Just call it Georgia or Sakartvelo. It’s like if people called Canada a former british/french colony whenever talking about Canada 😅
You couldn't run AND do the drone filming, could you ? Or did you ?
