  • Embark on a journey with me as I tackle the ultimate test of endurance in the Cocodona 250-mile ultramarathon through the heart of Arizona. I push my limits, conquer obstacles, and experience the highs and lows of this epic adventure. From the breathtaking landscapes to the mental and physical challenges, this is my firsthand account of pushing beyond boundaries and achieving the extraordinary. I hope this can inspire and motivate as I share the triumphs and tribulations of my very first 200+ mile ultramarathon. Thank you for watching :)

    As a Brit, we don't get to see the beautiful scenery in U. S. A.. so it's a real treat to see just HOW MUCH scenery there is, I love my cosy island but my heart is panging
    to experience some of that awesomeness (not 250 miles though) please know how appreciated this content is 🎉

    You may not remember me but we ran together over Hogback Mtn (from miles 31-37) in Marquette… Either way I wanted to say congratulations! Very inspiring. Keep it up! Hope to meet up again at another race in the future.

    Great video man! Lots of lessons packed in there. Also I love Kaylee keeping expectations real, “no, not really, you still have a mountain to climb!”. Congrats on that finish brother, and great work Kaylee for getting your runner across the line.

    Congrats on what looked like an epic run. I'm curious about your gear that you used and more specifically what shoes you chose. I know you mentioned your Hokas. What Saucony shoes did you go with?

    • @cameronmueller
      @cameronmueller  19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you! I wore the Saucony xodus ultras (the first iteration); this model of shoe just works perfect with my foot. Although I still believe I should of sized up late in the race given how my pinky toe was getting smashed in the toebox.

    Amazing achievement! And great job filming so much of the journey. I think the last thing I'd want to do in that situation is take my camera out amd record myself! Or did you find the camera a positive distraction? That walk into Deer Pass was hard to watch!

      Thanks man, it prob slowed me down to film this but I wanted the memories to relive. Happy you enjoyed the video. My feet took a beating before Deer Pass and I really learned some great lessons about shoe choice for a 200 miler (i.e. sizing up!!)

    Sorry for ignorance but what is a prescribed burn?

    • @cameronmueller
      @cameronmueller  16 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      Prescribed burn is a planned fire; it is also sometimes called a “controlled burn”. Usually done for forest management issues and I believe in Arizona its to prevent a larger spread of wildfires if they were to happen.
