#ultramarathon #running
You're a beast. I've started running for 1 year and getting up to a 20 miler in training. Massively inspired and subbed ✨
Sarah, you really are awesome. Thanks for inspiring this 40 year old man to improve his life. Your videos are great!
The editing is so good in this video. I'm training for my first ever half marathon distance (just a solo one) and your videos are really informative and I love seeing your passion for running!
thank you emily!! good luck for the half!
Gotta say Sarah I love these videos.. and shhhh.... I like them more than Ben's... Maybe that's because I am training for my 1st Ultra the Eden Valley 50k in 4 weeks time and your tips and videos have been so so helpful in this training cycle. Fantastic that you chose this part of the south downs way to do your back to back long run video as I do pretty much all my long runs over the Southease to Eastbourne route. I have a 22 miler tomorrow and chuffed its cooled down a bit. I also received my purple legend hat this morning so will be sporting that tomorrow ..looking forward to the next one. Also 10k time trial ...yes please..
good luck for the 50k, hadn't heard of it until today, looks like a lovely course! enjoy the race.. and the hat!! :)
Sarah, you are a wonderful ambassador for the sport of running. Your energy, charm and enthusiasm is contagious. Best of luck in all of your endeavours.
ahh thank you doug!!
10k SUBS WHOOP WHOOP
We want to see that 10k time trial 😏
Thank you for this video Sarah. It's so nice to see you on turf I'm familiar with.
I've recently started training for my first ultra (South Coast Challenge - 100k over 2 days) and I'm so excited.
I did almost exactly what you did this weekend - double long run - 38k on the hills over the south downs on Saturday, and a nice flat coastal route (about 22k) on Sunday.
As a newbie to ultra running I find your videos accessible and inspiring! Best of luck to you on your next race x
Beautiful trails you were running on. Congratulations Sarah on the growth of the channel!
Yeah, those trails looked so nice! So much to see!
I love doing back to back long runs. I actually did double 20’s once 3 weeks out from a marathon and I think it really helped me out. Maybe overkill for a standard marathon, but it was a huge mental boost.
I have a 50 K, my first 50 K, scheduled for seven weeks from today. I have been inconsistent on my training due to injury and health conditions, but watching this video makes me want to stick to my guns and not back out of this race. Amazing video. Very inspirational.
Another great video! I'm in the baby stages of ultra training. I signed up for a 4 wk foundation base building plan on vert.run, which has been eye opening, especially where it makes me incorporate strength, mobility, & yoga. Your videos are like a gold mine for me as I learn about this awesome sport.
Thanks Kelly! I hadn't heard of vert run until a few days ago, I think Lucy Bartholomew put a training plan on there, sounded like an interesting platform! Good luck with the training!
One of those channels I always hit 👍 on at 0:00 and then try to during and after but it's too late 😅
Hi Sarah: Thank you for these videos on 50 mile race training. I am a 59 year old recreational trail runner from Nepal. I have taken part in a few 50K races here in Nepal but am psyching myself up to do a 50 Mile race next. Since I have relatives in San Francisco, I am thinking of doing the North Face 50 Miler there, whenever it may happen after we get over this COVID pandemic. I like your idea about doing two back-to-back runs instead of a single big run, and my body will agree with that :). I will surely follow your other videos to learn more. By the way, in the video, I thought I saw a sign for the University of Sussex. I am currently doing a fully online Masters course in Energy Policy from University of Sussex. I hope to visit the University some day :). Thanks again. Cheers, Suman.
Thanks for the tips! Planning my first ultra (50 miles) in March on a flat course. I'm already starting to incorporate back-to-back long runs, but not enjoying the heat in the southern US.
good luck with the training mike! i am right there with you on the heat, it makes things so tough but come winter we'll be moaning about the cold haha!
Signed up for SDW 50 in April (happens to also be my birthday) so 100% going to do more back to back long runs!
What a way to celebrate your birthday! SDW50 is an epic race, you're gonna love it! Good luck with the training!
This came at just the right time and was great advice, thanks Sarah. I hadn't previously thought about doing long back to back runs but, after watching the video, I realised that this was what I should do. So, I did 30km last Saturday and 30km on Sunday. Easy, even pace from beginning to end. Felt good at the end of both days. I think I am nearly ready for the big one (but I'm not saying what that is yet).
oh wow brendan nice one! hopefully a good confidence boost for your race! good luck for it!
I just hit this year 55k,now i have free coach about preparation,thanks coach sarah this is very cool vlog,.😍😍😍
The sea side and the forest is refilling the lungs so beautiful nature that we had thanks again mam sarah,❤️❤️❤️
I LOVE doing transit-out-run-back runs 😊
Great advice, keep it up, and good luck with the ultra!
Check you out with the editing skills! Wha hey! A hidden talent right there.
hahaha thanks only issue is that it takes me days!!
Thanks, Sarah, I'm training for my first Ultra (London2Brighton in May), your videos are super helpful, especially for a relative Newbie to trail running. Also, lovely to see you running on some of my "home" trails.
Thanks so much for the video and tips! I have been training for ultra runs and completed a 12 hour race a couple weeks ago. I realized from from the race I should have definitely did back to back long runs. Congrats on 10k subs!
ah nice one kevin, there's always something we can learn from and improve for the next one! hope the race went well!
@@SarahPlace I definitely agree! and thank you!
learning to run on tired legs is a sore skill to gain! Congrats on 10k
Enjoy your videos! Great motivation and tips as I train for my first 50 miler in October.
Doing my first trail race ever as part of a relay team that will cover 100 miles in total next weekend. Thanks for the inspiration.
Back to back running (at weekends) is something I've done, but not something I've found easy to do week in week out and increasing the distance but is the only way todo Ultra training and getting the distance in - fabulous work Sarah and you do make this look so easy, but must be an age thing that's slowing me down 😂
Another great video i know why your channel is growing as fast as it is! Because it's awesome! I rather wait until you hit 100.000 and see you do and 100k race 😂
thank you marielle! yes i would probably also rather run a 100k than a 10k hahaha
@@SarahPlace Deal!!
Definitely do the 10K TT, it will be "fun"
yes for everyone else but me😂
So much more fun to cruise big slower miles. Enjoying the videos!
Fantastic. Thank you. I have a 50k in North Carolina, USA in 4 weeks. My back to back long run was scheduled this weekend. Yesterday at mile 10 I had to stop due to intense pain in the inside ankle. I'm headed to the gym today for some cross training and will try a light jog to see where the ankle is at, but I'm a bit disappointed.
Enjoying your videos. You Inspire us to get out there and enjoy our runs. Thank you 🙏
Great scenes on both days but must have been challenging in those temperatures! Thanks for the practical advice
Awesome content & so good to see your approach towards a 50 miler as i have the same to look forward to. Keep the awesome vlogs coming..
thank you! hope your training is going well!
Thanks for the video! I’m doing the Southdowns 100k at the end of May🤞🏻 great to see some of the coarse! 🤘🏻
I’m going to be getting in some back to back long runs ahead of my upcoming ultra in September.
You chose 2 amazing places to run both of which I know well. Been doing b2b long runs most weekends ahead of the SDW50 myself. Did 2 X 25km last weekend and probably going to do a 2 X 27.5 km this weekend. Favourite runs of the week for me.
Another great vid. Definitely do the 10k TT. I have been training all summer for mine, two weeks to go! I am scared 😧
good luck with it harry! you'll be awesome!!
Such great advice! Thank u. Training for my first 50k and this was so helpful.
I hadn't thought about back to back long runs for some reason, I reckon I'll give this a shot in the build up to my first ultra, thanks for the tips! I'm still apprehensive about races so I've picked an FKT to have a crack at! Just going straight in at the deep end haha
hahaha nice love the attitude!! good luck with the fkt!!
@@SarahPlace Thanks! I'll need it lol
Another solid vid! Congrats on hitting 10k subs 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This is great advice--I am doing it next week, I am convinced!
Very interesting Sarah, especially looking at your stravas too! I am very bad at looking at the pace and not doing "easy runs". I will definitely do this moving forward. My first Ultra was cancelled this summer so roll on next year.
Do the 10K! I'm slowly coming back from a bad knee injury and living vicariously through you. :)
Another great vid video Sarah. Great tips + will definitely trial back to back runs in the lead up for my first Ultra in Feb. Congrats on the 10k subscribers too 🙌
Lovely to see parts of the South Downs way that are on my doorstep and parts of my regular routes (I know I'm very lucky)
B2B runs are a good way of getting used to running on tired legs, but they are very straining, they can compromise upcoming training sessions, and can make you become slower. Plus, you risk injury... Proceed with care.
Brilliant 10 k 👏👏💯💯, great
Info also 👍👍
sooo nice... you make everything look so smooth!
Great advice, thanks Sarah. Will definitely add the back to back runs in with my North Downs Way 50 training next year 😁
ah good choice on ndw50! got that to look forward to in november :D
Great work Ssrah. Very much enjoying your videos.
I used Galloways run walk method schedule , 34 all day run for my upcoming 50k, worked out good
Great video Sarah and well done on two long runs on consecutive days in the heat!
off for the Nidderdale Ultra 54 tomorrow, so the vid couldn't have come at a better time thanks!
Good luck!
good luck adam!!!
Great video Sarah! I’m doing my first 50k in a month (Eden Valley) and was going to do Bedgebury and Bewl on Sunday too 👍🏻
oh cool, just looked the race up, looks lovely!! good luck with it and enjoy your run on the weekend!
Sarah Place Yes I’m excited! I stayed close to home in the end, not that we had a storm but felt great to get it done! x
Awesome Job on your workouts and Video! 💯👍 Keep it up!
Im running my first ever 45k next weekend. I have ran 30k max. Wish me luck all !!!
Great video sarah but would have been great to hear more about how you were actually feeling at various points like waking up next morning - any aches etc, perhaps hear more about how your body felt during the second run and perhaps see some of your recovery afterwards
Thanks for the videos !
There's nothing better than a long run
No idea how I came across this video. But mann that's inspirational!
That was a HUGE bottle of water that he hid, ha! I don't know why, but I wish I had more gates to open during my runs; seems like fun.
ah so great! this video comes in the right moment :D training for a trail marathon (though not more then 43km but 1.600m ascent on the way) so def. thinking about your back to back suggestion. anyways - now Im motivated for a cool longrun tomorrow :D greets from Austria
Got a 50 mile Virtual Ultra starting tomorrow...you have 5 days to complete but I want to do in 3 (20k, 42k and then a 10k to finish) as I’m building up to doing an Ultra distance in one day (hopefully v soon!). So this video is helpful!
Ahh nice one, sounds awesome! Good luck with it!!
So happy to see more women becoming running vloggers 😃
Great content, and advice!
My problem with long long runs is nutrition afterwards! Would love a video on that!
Also, a suggestion: Consider a video on tapering for an ultra? I'm doing my first 50mi four weeks after yours and some guidance would really help.
Back to back long runs - that's a great idea to help me train for a marathon that I can't seem to train past 30kms straight for! Thanks!
10km celebration run - fun idea, but you should make Ben promise to do a 30km time trial soon when he hits 30k
The back to backs stink. I'm training for an ultra right now too. This weekend I had a 28 miler on Sat, then 15 on Sun. That Sunday run is brutal.
Keep up the good work and great videos.
yikes casey that's tough!!! well done for getting through it, you'll be glad for it when the race comes around! good luck!
Great job! Those cows were knackered.
10k TT would be good - with all the prep and strategies You (and Ben) do to make it your best!
Such respect Girl Power!!
Got my first ultra booked for next May but not sure how to start my training
10k time trial do it! Great job on the runs!
Looks lovely there thanks for sharing 👍🏽😎
Would love to do the Thames Path 100 but need a 50mi time to do that, and to do a 50mi I need an official marathon time 😣 guess I know what my next target is..... Find a marathon that's going ahead!
Another lovely snap shot of your training Sarah, it looked mighty hot!!! definite 10k time trail sounds a super idea. SDW 50 in diary for next year so any videos of training runs on the downs would go down a storm as I wont be able to travel to recce the route, keep up the great content 10k followers already, tells you how you are appreciated.
thanks jon, you are in for a treat for the sdw50, it's an absolutely amazing race and so beautiful, you will love it!
Great video!
Hey I'd love to see a personal Q&A?! Either with you or both you and Ben?
Congrats on both 10k subs and also agreeing to do the 10k time trial ;-)
Inspiring! What app (if any) do you use to plan your routes and have them with you on your long run? I'd usually plan it out with Strava routes and save them to my phone app, but I don't think it's the easiest option and am sure that something more suited for foresty trail runs exists out there...
Congratulations on 10000 subs great content as always 😊...and yea give a 10k TT a go 😁
10k TT is a must!! Give the people what they want!!
Enjoyed the video,I'm doing my 1st ultra in October, what make is the hydration vest your using?
Training or race advice for a redemption ultra 50k?... lots of cramps on first attempt want to improve for my next one coming up soon.
Only got a couple of half marathons planned for the next 6 months but I think incorporating some back to back long runs would be a good help. Do you do any conditioning work ie bodyweight exercises outside of all this running?
I got some great conditioning exercises from the website None 2 Run (not sponsored/affiliated lol) and they really helped me.
@@KatieM786 Thanks! Will check that out :)
hey jon, at the moment i try and get on my bike once a week and then do a short strength routine in the flat just 20 mins or so once or twice a week but i definitely find it a bit of a drag and would always rather be running but it definitely does help and something is always better than nothing!
Great film. Coming out of an aid station after a bit of a rest with 20 miles done...my legs are REALLY stiff. Any tips for getting them moving again? Would more back to back training runs help?
hey kevin, personally i just try and avoid sitting down at aid stations completely as i know i won't want to get back up again! just come in, refill your drinks, grab whatever food you need and get out as soon as possible!
@@SarahPlace Thanks Sarah. I will keep the sitting still to a minimum and try to keep moving at least a little during tea breaks!
11wks out from my first Ultra.
A 35mile in the Dorset hills.
I have done 6 marathons and fully understand the training. Never done back to back long runs, so keen to try it out.
As a single long run, how far would you go ? I usually did 21/22 miles for my marathons. Should do anymore distance for the ultra ? Thanks.
Great video again Sarah!👍 Watching your (and Ben's) videos is really giving me the seed in my head to try an ultra. Should I get a few marathons under my belt before turning to ultras? I have done just 1 marathon previously although am a fairly seasoned runner at shorter distances. Any advice would be a great help. PS keep up the great work!👍
hey mark, no right and wrong here, but i think it's sensible to build up gradually. doesn't mean you have to go and do a bunch of road marathons but maybe have a look for some trail halfs and marathons and get used to the terrain etc and then when you feel ready start having a look at some longer distances. but the fact that you have been running for a while and have built up a good base is a big plus! good luck and enjoy!
Definitely do the 10km TT👍🏻😁
New subscriber and new to trail running. Question: do you wear trail shoes or reg running shoes? Thanks!
Regular road shoes are perfectly fine for easy and well groomed trail. If it gets technical with lots of roots, rocks, tripping hazards, loose ground, etc, I’d recommend trail shoes.
Another great video ... I did my first ultra at the beginning of August ... a 50k, which I really enjoyed ... I kinda did my own training plan, including some back to back long runs (not 20 milers though !) but could definitely of benefited from a more specific training and just wondered if you guys might add an ultra plan(s) to your available plans on your website ?
hey dave, we were talking about it the other day actually. i am a bit sceptical to do so just because every ultra is SO different with regards to terrain and elevation and conditions etc and so much is down to the mindset and nutrition as well which is difficult to put into a training plan! so at the moment it's unlikely, but might be something we work on for the future as a lot of people have been asking!
@@SarahPlace Ah thanks for taking the time to reply. That all makes sense ... I made the mistake of treating mine (was the Round Reading Ultra) .. as something that was just a slightly longer Marathon lol ! And for the next one I think i'll seek out some more knowledge for sure :-)
Any tips for the Lakeland 5 Passes next year - 33 miles/10,000ft ascent? I’m trying to mix up my runs but it’s difficult to get anywhere near that ascent without being in the hills or mountains. 10K time trial has your name on it :)
10k TT! 👍
Excellent video Sarah and some great tips - I’m keen to try an ultra next year after being inspired by reading ‘The rise of the Ultra Runners’ and watching your vids. Is a 50k doable training 3/4 runs a week (busy being dad cabs to kids) and where could I find a sensible training plan please? 😁👍🏼
hi! yes it's certainly possible, the training for a 50k won't be too different from a marathon so i'd probably just adapt a marathon plan slightly by swapping out some speed sessions for hill sessions and putting in a few back to back long runs on the weekend. and just try and make it as specific as possible to your race, so get out on the trails/hills as much as possible if that's what the race is like. hope that helps!
Sarah Place thanks Sarah, that’s really helpful advice. Think I might give tailwind a go for nutrition on the run 🤔
Great video Sarah, thank you for sharing! I was wondering if you would recommend something similar like two half marathons back to back as part of a marathon training plan?
hey! no need for marathon distance, there are lots of other things that would be more beneficial to focus on, such as some long runs with chunks at goal pace or a fast finish long run where you push hard in the last couple of miles to mimic those latter stages of the race :)
10K!!!
Hi Sarah! Which 50 miles race would you recommend to someone wanting to do their first ultra? Ideally, with no cut off time because that’s scare me a lot 😂😂
I’m from London and I wouldn’t mind traveling 😉
hey alessandra - have a look at centurion they do some great 50 milers and lots of people use those as their first one. there are cut offs but they are fairly generous. also check out threshold sports as they put on the race to the king, race to the stones etc which are great events for first timers with lots of aid stations and extremely generous cut offs! x
Good videos 👌
Where are your sunglasses from? They’re really nice and I always seem to struggle to find good ones to run in
That's a great hat! Where can I find one like it?
yes please 10k tt
when you do long runs do you ever stop to walk? I am getting up into the teens for long runs and if I ever stop I feel like such a failure because I didn't "run" the whole thing.
Waking is not failure. I did a 10 minute : 1 minute run/walk ratio for my first 2 marathons. For my third I ran through it as planned but still took walk breaks whenever I felt like it during training. There’s no shame in walking. At all.
