- I COMPLETED MY FIRST 50 MILE ULTRA. To say the least... It was crazy, challenging, and super fun.
I stared out into the early morning darkness. Thoughts of doubt, fear, and excitement were swirling in my mind. Heart numb from the cold and body feeling jittery from nerves. I was there, finally stepping into the arena... I felt alive!
Hope you enjoy my 50 Mile ultra story. Just a little running motivation if it helps. Looking forward to this new ultra running world and can't wait for the next one.

Who wants to go run?? Come on!!
yes yes yes
Jaroslaw- Haha I will bring the coffee!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee and oxygen pls. I done only marathon so far.
Haha oxygen indeed! Heck if you have completed a marathon you could easily train up for an Ultra.
Maybe a looped, timed run to keep it social? Go for 12 hours, run as many (or as few) loops as you want.
#12HoursAtCedarOta
Dude, you stayed upright and moving forward for 50 miles. Great physical accomplishment, an even better mental accomplishment. Congratulations!
I did for sure! I will give myself that. Put a plan together over the holidays to try and get my 50 miler below 8 hours this year. So we have some work to do to get there. Do you run many?
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee A couple 50k's. Contemplated a 50 miler, but wasn't willing to commit to the training work.
I've done a couple 24 hour runs. 5k loops, a new 5k every hour. run as many as you wish, sit out when you need the rest. They were fun.
I hear you on the time commitment. I don’t know if I can commit to 100 miler with a newborn coming. I would like to try one of the 24 hour runs too. I figure it would be more sociable and less stress.
Awesome video man, I have a 50 planned for next year. Love your mindset
Awesome, man. So glad you put together this video about it too because, I've often wondered what in the Sam Hell makes people want to do this sort of thing! Hiking the AT though, I can certainly relate to that bone-tired feeling that makes you start to wonder if it's even possible to set one foot in front of the other for that last mile or so to get to your destination for the night. My hat is off to you!
haha I hear you man. I use to think the same thing. For me it is really just personal development. I had a friend who hiked the entire Appalachian Trail. I would love to do that one day! Definitely on the bucket list. 50 miles is nothing when you think about that!! hahah
That’s just awesome!
Thank you!! I truly appreciate that and thanks so much for watching! Hope you have a blessed new year!
Wow Rob, I can't believe we missed seeing this clip, not sure how it did not show up til now! This video was incredible bro!! 50 MILES!! THAT IS WILD!! Congrats on your accomplishment dude, your grit and determination to complete the race was incredible! Great job man, most would not complete it - you did - WHILE FILMING & NARRATING! lol. Cheers Brother, I tip my hat to ya! Best, Rick
Haha thanks so much buddy!! I think it was the hat you sent me . Gave me some type of crazy powers or something. Lol truly appreciate you checking it out.
Awesome! Way to dish out the perseverance dude!
Thanks man! Ya there towards the end skill and preparation went out the window. Simply just getting it out at that point. Thanks for watching buddy!
Stoked! You crushed it! You never quit and that is a huge achievement! 🇺🇸💪
I'd definitely be down for a road trip run!
Thank man!!! Ya I really would like to get something together one day and do a “brew coffee run” session. I’m going to start thinking more on that for sure. Thanks for watching buddy and truly hope all has been well!
Awesome work!!!!
Thanks buddy! I need to start planning the next one!
Looking good bro! Good work on the video!
Thanks so much buddy! I truly appreciate you checking it out!
Looking forward to the content Rob.
Thanks man!! I’m going to give it hell trying to keep up! Lol appreciate you watching buddy!!
This is so inspiring. Thank you. I just did my first 30K the other day and signed up for a 50K & 60K in several months. Nervous for the 60K with 7,000 ft of elevation. But I really want to try 50 miles eventually.
I love the fact that you were to tired to walk back from the bathroom to say great race to the RD and filmed it in the car instead. Been there. Just subbed.
Lol I felt bad about but Walker is a cool dude and I knew he would understand. It was probably 1/4 mile away and I was like naaa. Not making it. lol truly appreciate if you watching and subbing. Where you from?
Awesome job! Congratulations on a good race! I love a good ultra!
Thank buddy! It started off good for sure but I fell to pieces! Haha learned a ton though and is so cool to see the 100 milers out there just crushing it. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee I had a somewhat similar experience during my No Business 100; video on my channel. I rolled my ankle severely, but finished!
Dang man! Ya I have heard of the No Businesses 100. I have been looking at the races in TN to eventually work on elevation later down the road. It’s completely flat in Louisiana. I will have to check your channel out tonight! Glad you mentioned that!
Inspiring video Rob. I am going to set a goal to train for and complete a 5K run. Thanks for the inspiration.
Heck ya buddy! You pretty close to. Maybe I will see you out there one day! Let me know when you do. Would love to hear how it went! Thanks for watching my friend and enjoy the journey!
Came from FB. Nice one. New sub as well. Edit: time to start an ultra playlist.
Yes! I actually think I am going to start a new playlist for sure. This was pretty fun to edit and I want to do more of them and obviously get better at it. Thanks so much for watching and subbing my friend!
Proud of you, bro.
Thanks Bruce! I truly appreciate that! Hope all has been well my friend!
I did the Dave Goggins 4x4x48 Challenge Nov 6-8 & added miles to equal out 2 marathons at 52 miles to raise funds for WWP. For sure was a massive mental challenge, esp on 4 hours of total sleep. I began to argue w/ myself around midnight to about 5am both nights. Worst part is that the challenge is a go stop go stop, & my calf muscles froze up at rest. I agree with you on the learning part, it sucked but I learned a lot! My last 5 miles I worse a 20lb vest & all I wanted to do was quit...once I finished I was bit by the run bug. It did so well w/ the community participating that I'm repeating it Oct 2021 & making it a 4x4x72 challenge to raise funds for WWP.
That’s so cool! I remember when they were doing that and a ton of people were participating. I think that would almost be harder because if I would of took a break 5 miles before finishing I don’t think I could of physically started back. When I got home that night I literally had to crawl up the stairs because I could not lift my legs anymore. 72!? That would be crazy!! Super cool you are doing it for a good cause to. I would like to get more involved in that. I did a good bit while I was serving for WWP but I have fell off the wagon in that area. Thanks so much for watching!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee Hammer Nutrition has this pdf on everything ulta running. More of a fine science of Nutrition & Supplements before & after running. I messed up the after part....took me a month to recover
@@dawn97911 I will definitely check it out! Really appreciate the advice. Recovery has been longer than I figured it would be as well. I have to do some learning in that area for sure. You have any other races planned coming up? #nevergiveup!
5k and I'm in homie
Haha yes indeed!! I def want to make it happen! Thanks for watching my friend.
Great video! Well done. New follower here. Crow✌️
Thanks so much Crow!! I truly appreciate that. Hope all has been well!
Well dang. My longest distance is a half marathon, but you've got me itching to train up for something big like that, although, I don't know HOW you managed to keep a grey tshirt dry for 50 miles. Pretty sure I'd need at least three changes due to sweat LOL. Way to power through!
Haha yes indeed!! Go for it buddy! It really does improve your mental strength so much. It was actually a nice cool day. About 60 degrees and towards the night I actually got cold. I wasn’t able to run at that point and the temps were dropping. I sweated in the beginning of the day when I was able to run heavy and I didn’t video much then. Where you located?
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee outside of Atlanta, GA.
Well shoot, you are pretty dang close! If you find a race you want to do that is close to us hit me up and if the time is right I will do it with ya. 50 miler or more.
Well I’m impressed 🤯
Thanks Jamie! Heck I was impressed to after the fact. Had some doubt there at points. Thanks for watching buddy and hope life has been treating you good!
Well good on you for even attempting let alone finishing. I was actually looking forward a way to message you earlier. But a couple of months ago, you mentioned you were a Product Manager. I had been contemplating moving over into Digital Product Management and after watching that video I decided to jump on it. Here we are 8 months later and I was offered the job last month. Just finished my first week!
Heck ya dude! It can get stressful and the first 6 months are always hard because you are having to learn everything. There is always a good demand for skilled project managers. I would like to try project management at a more tech/software like place to see how different it was.
Well done. An ugly finish is still a finish.
And I've had some pretty ugly finishes! :-)
It would have been nice to see some more of the run / course. It's always great to see different parts of the world.
And if you ever get lost, make a left turn and keep going for a bit..... and find yourself in New Zealand, let me know. We have a few challenges down here that you just might like ;-) (and probably never come back! hehe)
Thanks for the feedback buddy! I will definitely do things differently next time. I didn’t know how much camera gear I was going to be able to carry but I could of easily packed a bit more along the trip. Will definitely get more footage of the race next time. I have heard great thing about New Zealand. Just watched the bear Griles challenge they had over there a few months back. Definitely on my bucket list of places to experience. Truly appreciate you checking out my video and again thanks for the feedback. Will definitely implement.
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee If you want to check out some of the trails on offer, I've videoed my races and some of my training runs. They're all on my channel. They are also a useful insight on how NOT to do things ;-) No-one ever accused me of being a smart man. hehe
Oh heck ya! Didn’t realize you had a channel! I will definitely check them out. Sometimes the best advice is just seeing how somebody else does it. And we in the same boat on smartness then. I don’t get accused of it much either! Lol
Congratualtions Rob! I'm going to do my first 50 mile ultra in San Diego this weekend. Did you get any runs in before this ultra marathon the week of? Or did you give yourself more time off to rest? I have a few days left and want to throw in at least two more runs before the 50 miler but I know rest is equally important also.
I did some light and easy runs to stay loose before ny 50k! Hope your race went well!! Can I ask what your peak week long runs were like?
I took that week off. Just seeing this though! How did you do?
@@kathleenbolanos Congratulations on your 50k marathon! I did 32 miles the week of the race taking the day off one day before the ultra. My highest mileage when I trained was 1 week before the race reaching about 58 miles. I did this 2 weeks in a row same mileage. Keep on going Kathleen!
@@Run4it92 thank you!!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee Thank you for getting back to me. I feel like I could have done better maybe taking the week off however I finished 29th out of 159 in 11 hours and 30 minutes. Bonked at mile 30 and that’s when a lot of people passed me but like you said I made it that far why give up now! Now I know a few things I needed to fix like adding Salt Tabs and electrolytes to my fuel. It is an accomplishment and I appreciate your video giving me faith to push forward. Now I’m preparing for a 50k in Julian, Ca in July. Cheers buddy!
14 hours is not a bad time
Can I head down to LA go for a run and roast some coffee? Awesome job man. Lovin the vids
Heck ya man! We can start a brew-run-brew event! Where you from again? Thanks again for watching!
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee LOL in TN but would definitely head down for a brew-run event and make a long wkend out of it with my fam [if you throw in a free bag of Cedar Ota lol]
Haha heck ya dude! There are some great races in TN that I have been looking at. I think I will actually do one in TN in the fall of next year. I have to train up for the terrain up there. What part of TN?
We are around Nashville area. Dude, I am really wanting to take my coffee roasting serious and push health in 2021, so I am really looking forward to your 2021 content! Best of luck, I’m your first customer when you get everything rolling!
Yes indeed man!! My goals exactly in 2021. Let’s keep each other accountable. I’m here to help in anyway. I was just discussing “taking it serious” to a friend earlier. Most of us treat things as hobbies, side hustles, or fun projects but the only way to make it a success is if you get serious and think, treat and operate it as a business. Basically just take it serious. I feel most people give up or fail because it was never truly important to them. I have to get my head straight with that too.
Discipline is key! Will there be a next time?
Most definitely!! I am actually looking up races on “ultra signup” right now. I want to at least complete a 100 miler one day.
Can I ask what your peak weeks in training looked like?
Max week I did before the race was about 60 miles. I stayed right around the 45-50 mile week. Which looking back was not enough. I would like to get a few 75 mile weeks and be comfortable at 60-65 a week before doing another one.
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee ok! Thanks so much for that info, I appreciate it. There aren't many resources out there for this distance
I would be down for a meetup run!
Where you from again Coby?
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee Tulsa, Oklahoma
Ya they have some nice runs out your way. Colorado has some of my dream runs. Do you run ultras or mostly shorter distance runs?
@@RobPirieCedarOtaCoffee I don’t run that often but it is something I’ve been wanting to do more. I think if I ran with a like-minded group of people then it’s something I would do more frequent.
I hear you on that. Not to many runners hear around me. Definitely makes it harder when you have to go it alone. Same issue with coffee down here. I have been trying to find a good coffee cupping/roasting/brewing group but just not that many people passionate here about it.
