Aside from your great talent as a videographer of tremendously beautiful courses, what also amazes me is your fortitude, perseverance, resilience through the ups and downs (literally) and the often brutal weather conditions. The grandeur of the views from the tops of the cols in this particular race are breathtaking. I can only imagine what they were like in person. The sound of your voice, the words you speak, the sound of your breathing, your facial expressions - these are just so very inspiring. Thank you.
Congratulations Martin! What a fantastic race, can't believe that you were able to accomplish 210 miles with so little sleep! Even when you're obviously having lows you're still hammering AND recording it. Amazing! The film and music choices were perfect and give just a little insight to what you experienced. What an adventure, can't wait for the next one.
Thanks, it was quite the adventure! I wished I had recorded more at the aid stations, but you just get so busy trying to take care of yourself that recording just doesn’t happen as much. Anyway, to me the scenery and experience while out there are most important to me and I think I captured a lot of that:-)
Thanks so much for this Martin. I met you post race on the Saturday night (out with Patrick, Tobias etc) - I was the British, bald, old guy wearing Altra's. It was really great to watch this because I had forgotten (or blanked out?) so much of the route, checkpoints and scenery. I had done (with Patrick) Swiss Peaks 360 in 2022 and I have whole sections of that race that I can't remember. Such is the nature of 200 plus milers in the Alps I suppose! Hope to see you again out there one of these days.
I totally get that, I had to use the video to help me remember. Everything was a giant puzzle after the race, ie I could not remember what happened when during the race, only that it did happen. Sections were all garbled up and out of order in my head. The race felt more like a month long event than a week:-) I kept thinking on day 3 that day 1 felt like weeks ago. So strange, but sleep deprivation is definitely to blame for most of that:-)
Very nice video! I've watched a few others about this race, but none shows the beauty of the area, the small towns and details as this one. Very nicely done! And, of course, your accomplishment. Congratulations.
Congrats, Martin, on yet another amazing finish, accomplishment, and incredible journey! Thanks for sharing an absolutely beautiful video! I consider it a privilege to view such majestic handiwork!
@@I_0..0_I the scenery at these types of events drives my desire to keep training for them. The beauty I experience is as important to me as the challenge itself of covering 200+ miles on foot.
Congrats. I wonder - is melatonine and such stuff legal for these races? Something like 2-5 g ~30-45 min before a planned sleep? Could help with unusual schedule+"having to go to sleep", especially when you stick to non-slow-acting (probably something to try out in the training up to such an event). I mean, caffeine for the opposite effect is somewhat popular.
Not sure, I didn’t have this issue during the 268 mile Spine Race in June. It’s mainly the fact that I need quiet around me as I am a light sleeper. I eventually managed to get an hour or so, but that was due to sheer exhaustion. The earplugs and sleep mask helped, but the environment was often just “too busy”. I already know why to do differently next time, plan on sleep away from the life bases, at the rifugios or other opportunistic spots, instead.

Landscape amazing! Choice of music quite stressful :-)

Such beautiful scenery! Seems like one big climb and descent after another!
Yeah, man, I joked at one time during the race that we actually found a 1/2 mile flat section at one point:-)

Thanks so much! I’m excited about new adventures ahead in the new year which I hope to share here as well!

Much appreciated! Glad you’re enjoying my race videos!
SO beautiful....you need years to train for an event like this but it seems really to be worth it just for those stunning views :)

You had me at "running" 🙂
congratulations 🥂🍾🍀🥳 you´ve done a really good job 👍👍👍 thx for this amazing trip with you by video 👌👏
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Congrats on your beautiful race. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Glad you enjoyed it. It was a grand adventure and challenge!
Dankeschön Martin. Perfect visualization material in preparation for the upcoming race!
If I hadn't signed up for SwissPeaks 360 this year I'd tackle TDG again right away! Such an amazing adventure!
@@ultrakraut I’m curious to see from your perspective how the two compare. Even more so now they offer a 660k option. Viel Glück!
Beautiful video!! Looks truly amazing!
It was the most spectacular and also the most challenging race I’ve ever done.
잘 봤습니다. 축하합니다. 힘들었들텐데...., 나도 도전할겁니다. ~
Congrats on your run. Very inspiring!
Thank you very much, toughest and most memorable run, yet!
Awesome video! Congratulations on your great race, and thank you for sharing! It just needs more cowbell!
Haha, you can never have enough cowbell!!!
Amazing that looked so hard.well done sir
Thanks very much!
You take some of the most epic adventures! That is so awesome! Great job!
Also are you planning on running the Appalachian 100/200 when they open!
Not sure about the Appalachian race yet, mainly because I want to either run the event or run an aid station as volunteer, instead.
Great video, and I do like the color commentary. What software are you using to edit your footage?
Thanks! I use FCPX
legend 😮
@@MrLorenzobringheli thanks so much !

i don`t even can begin to imagine how one would train for this. If anyone has any tips, please advise.
Maybe I should do a short about training for 200. My training isn’t very scientific, but I finished all of them except my first attempt:-)
@@ultrakraut would be very helpful!
gigante ;)
thank you!
