Look who’s back! 😁
I love how chill Sarah's videos are compared to Ben's 🤣 Well done
I went from "I'd love to try this" to "theres no way I'm doing this" in about 10 minutes. Massive congrats on completing it!
haha yeah i won't be doing it again 😂
@@SarahPlace Oh no! I just told my wife I really want to try it, and was hoping I'd meet you there one day! 😂
'ok that's enough' said everything that needed to be said about how tough that looked...well done on the finish and well done for filming it along the way too!
Great video, Sarah - thanks for sharing your experience on this amazing run (and your kit list)!
Well done Sarah, that was amazing. Glad to see you posting videos again! :)
Yeeeeeeyyyy!!! Another Sarah’s video!!!! Love your content! Well done and keep them coming!
Love your videos Sarah! You've totally got me into trail running. Keep um coming!!
That’s next level Sarah- super impressed!! Well done for getting around!
Congrats, that was amazing. Inspiring LetZ Go Sarah! 🤙💪 Those climbs and that surroundings wow
That looks absolutely incredible! Congrats on finishing such a challenging course in less than ideal training!!
I can’t be the only one who finds Sarah’s smile do damn infectious? 😍
Great inspirational video Sarah. So good to see you back on TH-cam x
Well done! So glad to see this race finally happened!
So glad to see a new video! Lovely views but those scrambles looked tough. Great job Sarah!
Was a great race! Enjoyed this video a lot re-living the day! Thanks
Great video! Thank you! Gorgeous trails. Really hope to get over there and explore the area some day. Thanks for taking us along and for the breakdown and tips at the end.
Thanks Sarah. Excellent vid and well done on completing what looks like a really tough course 👍
Amazing. Congratulations! You make it look so easy.
Brutal .. brutal... brutal 😫
Congratulations for completing it Sarah 🤩
Amazing views! What a beautiful race! Thanks for the virtual trip to Wales!! 🏃🏼🏃♀️
An epic performance again Sarah - the mist as you were up on the summits was quite mythical and eerie. Well done again!
Great video. I like the chill, not yelling at the camera, way you shared your experience. Thank you
Inspirational Sarah💪👏👏👏👏
Great to see you back
Superb running & well done on a toughie...
Yay! New video! Great job!
Congratulations on finishing it Sarah!
Great run in the clouds!
Well done Sarah , that's a beautiful route 👍
Well done !!!!
That was VERY tough, well done Sarah! 💪🏼
Twas nice seeing you on the course.
thanks and well done you!! hope you are recovering nicely!
wow that course!! Great job !!
Thank you Sarah -
Lovely! 50km run and still beautiful
I did the UTS 50mile a few years back and loved it so much, we had a little different weather mind you! Great one Sarah
It looks absolutely brutal, massive kudos for getting it done
Very well done, thanks for sharing your experience 😅
Well done Sarah!
Thanks for posting this. I’m doing the UTS 50k this year and it was good to get a little insight :)
Well done Sarah! I'm running the Ben Nevis Ultra this weekend off the back of some poor training weeks, this was just the positive reassurance I needed. Thank you. I hope I can muscle through as well you did.
ooh that sounds fun! hope you get some nice weather and good views off the top! don't worry about the lack of training, it matters a lot less for things like this, it's 90% mental anyway. best of luck and enjoy!!
Well done Sarah. Not an easy route. I know the route well as I live here. Top effort.
A great looking course, but what a wild one!
I love your videos you have such a pleasant nature.
looked like a wild race, great effort on the finishing it!
good job in a tough race, some of those rocky paths were a challenge to the feet, you shared good footage too
Well done Sarah. It sounds just like me. Loving the scenery but hating the downhill scary bits. Slippery stones, mud,… But you can be so proud for getting to that finish line. 🥰 🇨🇭
It's sad you don't do content anymore. I discovered you once you had already stopped. I've watched this before, i just went on this after doing your core workout to send you this message.
UR AWESOME MADAME. CONGRATS. I LIKE WATCHING ALSO BEN'S VLOG UR BOTH AMAZING
I found your video about a sub 20 5k yesterday and was looking into the UTS today and this popped up, timely coincidence. Congratulations on your finish!
So glad I found your channel. I just started preparing for a 10k. Been running for 9 months.
You are proper awesome Sarah, amazing!
Amazing place!
Uau! amazing views and great experience for sure!
Congratulations Sarah massive achievement - after following ur adventure Iv decided that kinda terrain is not for me - or at least not for my knees !! hope ur recovering well xx
Congratulations 🏃♂️🥳
Wonderful vid. Well done Sarah. Good to see Ben filming you this time! I hope to do do a 50k one day but probably not that one! I have a half at Brecon Beacons next month and looks like it will be much much more runnable than UTS. Huge congrats again! Love the phrase, "Complete not Compete"!
ah that will be lovely, the brecon beacons are amazing! and yes should be a bit more runnable too! enjoy!
Great video, thank you!
Great video Sarah 👍
Congrats on the run. Just makes me want to get out and explore.
I love those pain au chocolat but had no idea they counted as running fuel. This is the best news ever! 😁👍🏻🏃♂️
anything can be running fuel! the sky is the limit!
You guys sacrifice alot to make these blogs I love it and keeping up good running ❤
Brilliant video, thanks Sarah. Taking on UTS as my first Ultra this year 😅
well done finishing that race, the scrambling looked scary
Nice video Sarah! I was watching some of the videos about the race these days and it looks pretty amazing. Tough and muddy sections like here in Sweden but with amazing views included into the "package" and some alpine scenes on the tops! I'm seriously considering this race! I will subscribe to your channel as well - great content! Well done racing and great job filming the race! Kudos! :)
Merry Christmas to you and your family
I absolutely love your channel .
I did the uts 50k recce weekend with Mike back in July in beautiful weather, that last big climb is brutal even in good weather, well done on getting it done! Hope to take that or the 100k on next year!
Well done Sarah! We went across to support my father in law in the 100 and as we were driving past the start we saw Ben walking along the road and so we guessed you must have been running it! Really well done. We're sort of tempted to enter in the future but those scrambles looked a bit grim :-)
Such a beautiful place tho. That looks like a really challenging course, but so rewarding. Keep thinking I should go one day. Well done 👍
Well done I have done the Snowdon marathon on two occasions which I thought was tough but nothing compared to this ❤️❤️
Those race Vlogs are always really cool, and motivating to watch - although this time I didn't really thought "hey, I want to run this" ;-)
Wow, what a course!
Great to see this latest video. That looked tough. Congratulations on successfully completing the course. And without falling over once, if I heard correctly. I was thinking at one point, how I would have come back battered and bruised from something like this 😂.
Great video Sarah, as a flat road Londoner I took to the Tenerife hills after watching yours and Ben’s videos, never got the Strava climbing badge before 😁 hoping some of the hills training helps for London tomorrow!
So good to see the start line to this packed full of eager runners in these Covid times. Something we have enjoyed until recent times in NZ. Fingers crossed we get Delta under control and vaccine rates up so we can get back into events here in NZ.
yeah it has been nice to have some normality back, hoping things go back that way for you in nz soon!
@@SarahPlace BTW, sorry I should have started that all off by saying 'congrats' as that was epic! Nice work Sarah. P.S. Loving Ben's kit (I think I have 3 shirts and about 5 caps!). Excellent kit. Look forward to following more of your adventures. Congrats again!
Admiration and inspiration in equal measure, maybe next year!? Can I also give a nod to the Injinji socks and Altra (Olympus) shoes combo, foot heaven.
Well done, Sarah! Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. (I’m loving that you survived on pain au chocolate! 😂)
I was running it also, however it became a craw and i was timed out at check point 3 with my little brother chris. Goodness , compared with UTMB and other races i have completed, it had some brutal ascents. Well done Sarah. More training for me though!!
ah sorry to hear that mark, there's always next year! but it has definitely made me feel a lot better about utmb which i always used to consider as one of the toughest races out there but it really isn't is it!
Honestly Sarah, as a fellow trail runner these videos are brilliant 👏 you're a natural at them too so keep them up its really useful! Hopefully see you and Ben at the London marathon 👍
aw thanks simon, yes see you in london!
WAY better than UTMB!!! Such a great race, well done Sarah!
That looks brutal. Great video
Love the channel.
Just started watching and have already given this a like :)
Well done! An amazing route that it takes me 3 days to complete hah
Amazing video! I'm going to be signing up for next year's 50 when they release tickets this weekend. It's definitely a race that scares me, but your video got me very excited too 😊🙏
I better start training... 🤦♂️
I attempted the 165 km. My first DNF at 61 miles. It was a humbling experience. I sustained an injury at around mile 40 and tried to persevere but there was zero leeway on that course and I eventually 'retired' crushed. I'm still limping around feeling sorry for myself, whilst spending far too long analysing what went wrong. Congratulations on your finish Sarah. The 100km version next year perhaps?!
I’m really considering doing this next year as a finish off to the years racing, following The Wall in June. Didn’t get into the LL50. Really well done, it’s a beast just doing the 50. The 100 peeps are different breed.
Merry Christmas Sarah and Ben, hoping you make some new videos in the new year Sarah. All the best 👍
welldonee 🙌🏻🔥🔥
Boa tarde Sarha, parabéns pelo conteúdo, show 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Cool video. I never would've thought the UK would have territory like that. Not much of a trail runner, but I do a lot of hiking here in Utah and so I know the type of terrain you were going through. Well done and enjoyed the video!
thanks eddie, it was news to me a few weeks ago too!
Really useful, thank you. Just signed up for 2023. Not sure it's a good idea as I'm training for the road marathon and just figured this will be as fit as I'll be this year 😂 Worth a try even though it looks brutal!
That looks absolutely brutal. Well done on finishing it. Not a chance in hell I’d do it.
Great video. I wish to do a 50 km, but when you said that this one was not well marked, I took this one off my list.
Fortunately I live in France.
Congratulations!!!
Happy New Year
Congratulations 👏🏻 🎉 to finish those brutal race with all the time wet feet ;)
Well done on getting through it! Some of those scrambles looked horrible!
Well done. I ran it too and agree it was a tough race. The navigation is always tough on top of the Glyders when the visibility is poor. It all looks the same boulder field with no defined path. Well done, great race 👍
yes agreed! and well done you! hope you are recovering well!
Salomon “pulse” belt is great for poles when not using them. You don’t even know they’re there when tucked away.
Well done! And agreed 100% with the course markings comments, could have benefited from many more, especially along some of the summits/ridges and up the third climb. But a great course and day out nonetheless :)
well done you as well! yes certainly not going to forget that one any time soon!
Well done! I was there and can confirm its brutallity! 😝
