Hey Flora, I think there is no need to tell you, but still wanted to... You are such an inspiration and motivation. Every time I watch your videos I just want to go outside and run. Big Thanks and thumbs up :)
This is so lovely to read, thank you!! ❤❤❤
@@FloraBeverley Me too and I mostly hate running!
Loving these videos Flora!!! You're killing it - thank you for taking us along with you!
Answering your question "is it desolate or beautiful?" I think the Scottish highlands is the most beautiful place in the world. I'm awestruck every time I get to visit. Especially Skye - talk about feeling like you're in another world.
Ahhhh amazing to hear! I never know what other people find beautiful but I absolutely love it 😍
I live in Spain, very hot, and very sunny. I also do trail running, and Spain has many mountains, and answering your question: The landscape is stunning and beautiful. RUnning it must be a great experience but also very challenging with so much bogs, moors, rain... Love your vids
Thanks for taking us along Flora, those views are stunning! Look forward to part 3 :)
I woke up feeling aches and pains everywhere and I'm thinking of all kinds of excuses to miss today's run (training for my 1st marathon here). Then I watched your video and I'm like, yeeaaah, I've got no excuse. Lol. Thanks for inspiring Flora!!
Haha yaaaassss go get it!
I’m really enjoying these and can’t wait for day 3. Your videos are very inspiring and while I know ultras are very hard, you make them seem achievable. I’m hoping to do my first one next year.
Great video Flora. That brought all the memories flooding (used advisedly) back. What a special place Knoydart is, and what a special event the Highland Ultra was.
Really enjoyed part 2 looking forward to three. Great effort well done.
What an incredible day, congrats on 1st female Day 2! Thanks for taking us along on the long bog slog. 😆 Those views are PHENOMENAL!! What a beautiful place to torture yourself for a few days. It's a very good thing you and Amy had each other for company! Before you asked about beauty vs desolation, I was wondering if any highland clans had lived in that particular spot, and what life had been like. It's both beautiful and desolate. I can't wait to see the final day, and how your ankle and tendons held up!
Well done Flora!! I watched the whole video. Loved the scenery where you are!
So glad you're running along side with Amy! You're both doing great! Hope the ankle holds out for your 3rd day. You got this👍cheering you on to the end👏👏🥰
Thank you so much! 🥰
Loved this!! So great to see all the scenery again - we did have an awesome day out on them hills! Super footage - Well done!
Thanks Amy, yesss i so love watching back over 😍 thanks for sticking with me!
Really enjoying your running videos Flora, thanks for sharing your experiences. It must take such strength and mental resilience to complete something like this, I’m in awe! Looking forward to part 3 😊
Thank you so much for watching. It was definitely tough but oh so worth it!
Really enjoying your vids. Keep it up.
I love these videos! They've made such a difference to my day. I'm sat at home with my newborn in my arms, so am enjoying living vicariously through your adventures, can't wait to be able to run again! Thank you for making them :)
Ahhh congratulations!! Happy for you to live vicariously through me for now 😅
Great effort Flora, very interesting video series. I love your humour.
Found you really funny on this one Flora!!! Great commentary. And yes absolutely stunning setting. Thanks again for inspiring us. Looking forward to 3rd chapter of this wonderful adventure!
Haha I'm definitely less filtered when I'm exhausted 😂 thanks for watching, part 3 coming soon+
Just reading that book at the moment too! Such a great book, very relatable im finding.
Hi Flora I’ve watched part 1and 2 of your ultra amazing scenery loved the content looking forward to part 3 keep up the great work 🏃♀️👏👏👏👍
beautiful landscape! and interesting that they have talks in the evening
Long slogs, bogs and hobbling pain … love the reality to trail running Scotland - well done Flora/ tremendous determination !!
Pretty much sums it up!
Great video again! Well in - look forward to day 3! Super cool to have so much footage available - love the combination of appreciation for where you are and the constant moaning about the terrain and the wet feet
Haha it's pretty much what my brain was doing throughout- pain combined with huge appreciation. That's what running's all about!
Well done, stunning scenery, looks hard work but worth it for them views
I was waiting for this! I was rewatching part 1 😛 you are amazing Flora!!
Haha part 3 coming soon! Thank you for watching ❤
@@FloraBeverley thank you so much for replying, can't wait for part 3 😃Really such an inspiration, despite injury, tiredness and the conditions, hats off Flora!
I love your videos flora, your really inspirational as you keep sticking to your goals !!!
Thank you, that's so sweet!
Oh my gosh, thank you for replying :)
Absolutely love your videos! Your doing amazing and have defiantly inspired me to give ultra running ago next year! :)
Ah yay so happy to hear that! Thank you 😊
A stunning area to run, really happy to call this place home! Well done with the race Flora, it was nice to hear how much you loved the views 👍🏃
Ah lucky you! It was gorgeous
Great effort Flora, hope your ankle is okay for day 3 💪🏃♀️
Congrats Flora!!! Another amazing effort, especially considering your ankle injury. I similarly had a horrible ankle tendonitis when hiking the Larapinta Trail in NT, Aus (also on very rough, steep, uneven terrain) and had to limp for the last 50km to finish the hike, so I empathise with how disheartening injuries can be! But good on you for picking yourself up and powering through until the end! Keen to see part 3 :)
Ah no way, poor you! That sounds tough. Thank you 🤗
I’m from California in the USA, and that view is spectacular. I would love to go hiking there.
Wow wow wow Flora, looks like you all definitely earned those amazing views 😍!! You must be so strong to just keep going, it’s always really hard seeing others in pain :(. Really hope recovery is going ok and you’re getting back to having more energy again. I’m sure you’ve already considered this and know it doesn’t work for you but coming down those steep and uneven downhills always makes me think about having a chest mount for your go pro. Can’t wait for part 3 :)!
I've tried a chest mount before and unfortunately the footage is never smooth enough for TH-cam- because when you run you twist! The footage always makes me a bit seasick 😅 head mounts are better but too heavy!
I am usually a silent watcher and don't comment much, but as a big fan of your channel since before you started training for Tokyo I just wanted to say how amazing is to see how far you have come. Your channel is an amazing inspiration every time, thank you so much for sharing these fabulous adventures with us! 🥰
Hi Sylvia, this is so lovely - nice to know you're one of the OG subscribers! Thank you for your support 😊
Looks super tough but incredible scenery 👌 you’re certainly one strong lady 👊
Enjoying this series Flora. Video & sound quality is great. It must be difficult to choose when to film and balance battery life.
What a lovely journey.
Yaay! I was sad when part 1 ended. Happy to see you uploaded part 2
Part 3 coming soon!
@@FloraBeverley yaay!
Beautiful scenery! (sorry about your ankle)
I love your bits of French thrown in there - I do the same thing with French as a learned language. The "Quelle suprise" 🤣
What a hard but amazing experience!
I never saw myself as an ultra runner...but those views are stunning. 😳
They were incredible! Well worth the effort
I am from South Africa and really enjoy your videos. Just completed my first trail ultra across Table Mountain and it was awesome. You should definitely come and run some ultras in Cape Town.
That sounds epic! I love it there. I'd love to
I'm a big fan of year round open water swimming - swearing helps with cold tolerance, as I'm sure you found with that river crossing 😄 Fab content at always 🥰
Hahah I was literally saying how swearing helps with pain during the run - its a fact! 😆
Boise Idaho has a similar views in the foothills, but no bog. It's a high desert. Pretty spectacular and bleak at the same time.
Just found this in 2023 - fantastic content 👏
Welcome to the channel!
I dreamt about pitching a tent last night and that didn’t go well. Don’t know how that got into my head 🤔
Your video was a great watch by the way. Saw some real Flora moments 😂😂. Looking forward to Part 3.
Hahah suspicious 🤣
Thank you so much 🤗
Those river crossings! Did you have waterproof socks, or change to dry socks during the day, or just go with wet feet the whole time?
I enjoy your running videos Flora, keep running and doing videos!, congrats. One quick question, what is the running watch that you use?
I use garmin fenix 6s pro solar 😊
Well, I live in the desert. So these views are lush and gorgeous!
Ahhhh haha amazing! Yes quite the opposite to the desert 😅
i’m from south florida, and those views were BREATHTAKING! but i also think abandoned buildings are beautiful, so maybe i love the desolation, hahah.
Haha yes I know what you mean! Glad you enjoyed :)
I’m from California and think this is absolutely beautiful. I it reminds me a little like the deserts we have here in the sense that it is vast and somewhat lonely. How do u know where to go? Some parts it seems like you are off trail?
We were definitely off trail 😅 there were red flags or verbal directions at each checkpoint 😊 still thought we were getting lost a lot!
Wow love the scenery something i would love to run myself... finish kinda sucka tho haha
Hey flora, who organises this race? Amazing vid series btw, just found your channel. :)
Beyond the Ultimate. Same people who do the Spine race! They do some epic stuff (this is probably their easiest race 🙈). Great team, super friendly & supportive 🤗 welcome to the channel!!
River crossing looked a bit chilly, no wonder you lost feeling in your feet. That’s not good, I find that I then get poor blood flow, lack of cushioning and risk of bruising.
I like my waterproof socks, though the water would come over the top. I see Dekshell make a couple of versions with a seal around the top, one specific for wading. Has any tried these? Perhaps the top seal would be uncomfortable when running or cut down blood flow. Worth a try though?
Definitely worth a shot for sure! Thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately everyone who used normal waterproof socks got very wet still! No escaping it 😆
Lucked out on that weather 🙃 Certainly is a beautiful place. Injuries are horrible, I'm not good with distances because of easily being injured no matter what I do to try and avoid them 😒 Just have to live those ultra distances vicariously through your channel 🤣
We did! And yes likewise, I am too injury prone 😅
Make sure you take care of yourself@@FloraBeverley, don't want you getting injured :)
Ok been wondering this every time I see you intro. @ 32 secs wat is that pink stuff under the avocados???? Whenever I see it I think it’s like a think slice of bologna (Gross) I kno it’s not but what on earth is it? Yay another fun adventure!!
Hahaha I can't even remember! Pink hummus or something 😂
Good to some reforestation. All that area would have been impassable temperate rain forest before we came along.
Yes it would have been spectacular 😍 hopefully again sometime soon!
Rugged country, eh? Which makes turning an ankle when wearing running shoes fairly common, as you found. Great effort though. Were you wearing waterproof socks? These are brilliant in the wet. I wear mine when MTBing.
Haha yes pretty tough terrain there! I was not - we were wading through knee deep rivers so would have had to be wearing fishing waders to avoid getting wet 😂
@@FloraBeverley They seal around the top so the water doesn’t get in. 😂
@@kevinw1129 everyone who was wearing waterproof socks said their feet got wet. I asked a lot of people!
@@FloraBeverley Your feet spend less time in the water when on a MTB. Waders in future then!🤣🤣🤣
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Oh the soaking wet feet. That has to be torture. What brand watch is that you're wearing please?
It was pretty damp 😅 its garmin fenix 6s pro solar 😊
Anyone have any tips with dealing with self doubt
The more you out yourself out there and succeed things you never thought you could do, the more you start to believe in yourself. You've got this!
@@FloraBeverley I've ran a few marathons this year, there's another one I'm thinking of in December but keep thinking I can't do it!!
@@AugherAndy if you don't try you'll never know! But also your worth is not determined by which races you can and can't complete 💕
@@FloraBeverley true.... What is next for you xx
@@AugherAndy rest and getting my foot better! A priority so I can hit the ground running next year.
It's hiking not a Ultramarathon
Hiking is a gait, ultramarathon is a distance. What's your point?
