    Have you had a race that didn't go to plan? How did you get over it??

    • @levi_athle
      @levi_athle 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Man, so many. What I find that, the more passionate you are about running, the more often you will DNF actually. Especially if we talked about ultras. Why is that ? Cause it doesn't freckin' ever worth it just to finish and then not to run for 6 weeks. I prefer to drop out and make sure that in 3 days I am back on the daily runs. I love racing, mountains, running, community, but I do that so every day or twice and even 3 or 4 times a day.
      The other thing about this passion is aesthetics. Finishing fast and strong with a sharp and focused mindset is not the same as pulling a limping left limb over the finish-line, hunched forward with no presence or ending up in the ER tent on an IVdrip.
      I like grace and vibration !

    • @vornamenachname807
      @vornamenachname807 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sure. Großglockner Ultra Trail being the last one, also in Austria, quite technical and partly high altitude. Did not have a chance to acclimatize to the altitude, also had shoe issues, and the nuitrition strategy failed me. 40k went excellent (meaning: too fast), at halftime at 60k I was almost done with headaches, bloody toenails a nervous stomach, and crawled the fruther 50k like a slug to the finish after half of the field passed me. Ran a 100 miler several months later that year and took revenge. Just sign up for the next race. There are days like that.

      Whenever it is hot. I seem to get my hydration and nutrition completely wrong when the sun comes out and end up bonking.

    • @DanRuns
      @DanRuns 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      My first marathon didn't exactly go to plan regarding my target time, but i'm cracking on with a second attempt this summer using your marathon plan which gives me more focus and guidance. I don't dwell on it, just plan to get better each and every day. No pressure, they'll always be more races and more opportunities to tackle challenges.

    • @mr.musings5627
      @mr.musings5627 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes - usually on reflection because I had been over-training and not resting enough. I got over it by reminding myself rest is as much a part of training as running and if I let my body recover more it will be happier and quicker in the long run!

  • @lewisbirdvid
    @lewisbirdvid 5 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    This video is arguably more important than anything you've put out already. So much of running online is about the PBs and not the DNFs or injuries etc. Nothing but realness, may the comeback be massive mate

    • @BenParkes
      @BenParkes  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cheers Lewis! Obviously it wasn't an easy video to make.. but there are positives to be had in any result if you look hard enough. All the best with your running!

    • @lewisbirdvid
      @lewisbirdvid 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@BenParkes I think as a coach as well, clients you're going to be working with are going to be experiencing set backs all the time, I think this race is quite humanising in a sense and will only strengthen your ability to navigate other runners through difficult patches

      @Jameswmin 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That reminds me of David Roche - he was advocating that sort of mindset on his recent Ginger Runner Live interview (I haven’t read his book The Happy Runner). You still ran 47km, which is great, and more than most people can run at all.

  • @ginag8723
    @ginag8723 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Sorry you didn't have the run you were hoping for Ben, but love how you keep it real. I remember Courtney Dewalter talking about an ultra that didn't work out and I think she won it next year. And well done Sarah!! Great how you support each other.

    • @BenParkes
      @BenParkes  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Gina.. We are both strong by supporting each other for sure! I remember Courtney talking about that too.. can't remember which race it was.. but these set backs certainly make us stronger! All the best to you 🙌

    First of all 👏 to Sarah!...and thank you to Ben for posting this, you are a phenomenal runner and inspiration and to see that even someone of your calibre has an off day, inspires me as it shows you are also human! But knowing you, you will analyse this deeply and learn from it and probably win Mozart 100 next year 🤞

You persevered as much as you could and were totally honest about things not quite going how you wanted to and that is so inspiring, even to runners who are currently incapable of running the distances that you endure. It just shows that even experienced runners have bad days and THAT IS OKAY

Massive respect for getting out there and doing it in the first place! I keep telling my 8yr old son that winners are people who get themselves onto the Start Line. They've already succeeded regardless of what happens next.
    You have Berlin to focus on next and having a fresh new challenge to work towards should help you move on from this! 👍🏻

    She's so strong and great !
    No race goes like its perfect plan !
    I have three things that throw my races.
    If my foot collapses (usually the front part of my right foot).
    If I forget to fuel properly during the race.
    If my sleep before the race sucks.
    I think that your sleep before the race has lacked quality.

    Kudos to Sara (and yes she should start a channel). I didn't make the 63km cutoff time. I didn't feel good either. the climb after the 45km station was brutal, after that I didn't have anything left on me. it was nice to see you at the start of the race.

    Hi Ben, well done to both of you. I was so curious on Sunday evening so I checked the the mozart 100 results and I couldn't find your name anywhere. I thought something happened and waited your video today. Still fantastic achievement and next year I'm sure these comments will encourage you to try once more.

    Fair play to you for still filming even though you were unwell and right decision to pull out, huge congrats to Sarah and deffo think she should start her own channel as can’t help but to inspire females and blokes to get into the sport

    God Ben. Thanks for the honesty. I dont feel so bad about my bad run last year now. I'm definitely not an ultra runner but I do an annual 5 to 15K over the past almost 20 years. And last year I tried another 15K that I was so stoked for, but my knee gave out 5.5 miles into the run and had to walk/jog the rest. Was so disappointed. But I'm over it now. Training for this years 3rd 15K at 60 years old. I'm running slower than previous years, but I dont care. Just want to go out and have fun! Even though it wasnt one of your better runs, I sure appreciate you bringing us along for the ride. The views are one of a kind and spectacular! Watching your videos is probably the closest I will ever get to even knowing these places exist. Thank you!!! You and Sarah are so inspiring to me.

    Ben, you said in the video you could be contacted for advice...well I wondered if you could give me advice on how to contact Sarah for training plans for Mozart 100, 2020 ? 😂😂😂😉 Only joking, great effort by all of you and I don’t know of any athlete that hasn’t had a bad day. Let’s see you do it again and conquer it in impressive fashion. You’re all great in my book ! 👍👍👍

    Unlucky Ben!
    These things happen when you push the body hard 😀
    I had a very similar thing happen at the CCC one year so I know how you feel, I could see you were upset 😞
    Some days the body just doesn’t want to play ball! Rest up and recover well, onwards and upwards to the next challenge 🏃💪🏻

    If I had to guess id say it's the weather that got you. We had record temperatures during the nights coupled with high humidity. You made the right decision in stopping while you were still on your feet. I hope you will try again next year. The final descend into the city makes it all worth it.
