- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2020
- Can we run the height of Mount Everest in one go? Well, here at GTN we challenged Mark & Sam to just that in quite possibly the hardest thing we've ever done! It will take a total of 8848 meters of gained elevation, 51 reps up Crowcombe Hill, on the Quantocks, UK. Could they do it?!

Who else is feeling inspired? What's your next challenge?
I'm considering an Ironman on my own given that the one I was supposed to do is cancelled, but everesting looks like a fun challenge
My next challenge is to cycle around High Tatra mountain range in Poland/Slovakia. 210km, 2600m altitude gain. Challenging enough for me :)
@@sebastianosuch273 Must be very scenic route. Good luck!
Doing a full round of the Lake of Constance - but in two parts on two days. 120km each.
We're planning to run around the Lac de Joux, only 22km but that's 7km more than I've ever run, hoping to make it this autumn. Congratulations on your everesting achievement!
Can't wait for their everesting swim
floating up and swimming down over and over, or swimming up rivers like salmon?
@@kylehagertybanana Your comment made me choke on my banana bread 😂🤣 I’d like to see up river like a salmon 😂
This is John Locke type humor and I'm all for it
Sam is a natural presenter. Please make him a permanent addition
I get home from a 27 mile trail run with 2,000m of ascent and TH-cam puts this on my feed 🤯
Congratulations guys - when my family says I’m insane I will play this for them🤣
Ok, The Bicycle Everest scares me. This is insane.
I love this channel! My iron man was cancelled this year so now another 44 weeks of training and that put me in a slump. Watching this and other vids has been such an inspiration. Thank you everyone at GTN!
Sam is a great presence on the channel, you two are such a great tandem. Cheers to both of you!
Good to see Fraser, hope you’re doing well my man. Outrageous effort Mark and Sam, bravo!
Mark 6 weeks ago: I don't think I'm gonna rush doing another 100k anytime soon. Less than 1,5 month later: let's do more... And uphill...
Some monstrous effort guys!!!
Well done to both of you! Massive respect
Absolute legends!! My knees hurt even thinking about this
And ours! 😖
Yay Fraser is there. At least it was ☀️
Amazing work guys! Fantastic video & Sam is a great new member of the team 👍🏻
Excellent job guys, kudos for sticking with it.
I really love the Sam & Mark adventure videos. And Fraser was there for a bit too! Awesome effort you guys!! Definitely did not make me want to have a go but I thoroughly enjoyed watching you guys do it.
Very motivating, excellent effort by you two! Loved the vid
What an epic effort guys. My hat off to you both, incredible willpower and determination.
Excellent work!! Great video guys!
Great job guys! Nice to see Fraser again too.
Both did an amazing job!! Love watching these videos! Love GTN!
Absolutely insane! Well done guys. Such a good achievement!
Superb ! Extremely well done to both of you. Very inspiring!
I love challenges like these. Great job.
I was feeling pretty good about myself and my hill reps this week until I watched this.... thanks a lot guys :) In all seriousness, amazing effort, crazy but incredible. Well done.
Awesome effort guys. Well done to you both and all of the team involved.
absolutely stunned by your performance and sheer will power to just keep going- well done
You’ve inspired me to do this challenge in the future. Maybe 5 years time. Thanks guys🙌
I was just about to get ready to do an everesting attempt myself on the bike and then you come up with this crazyness Absolutely bonkers! 😵.
Unbelievable! And can you imagine, 2 Belgian friends did a double Everesting in 52 hours, running up and down some stairs in the city of Liège.
Yes, quite an amazing challenge there!
@@gtn I know this is a tad late to reply, but those same guys did a triple unassisted everesting a few weeks back. Absolute madlads
Amazing guys!! Well done 💪🏻
That was amazing guys! Such determination is very inspiring and motivating.
Just wow. That's the spirit, cheers guys!
you're now local legends on this strava segment :)
They will be for a while to come as well
Sadly that segment doesn’t appear to have the local legends feature on it 🙁
@@markthrelfall3577 Ohh how unfortunate. Would have been a record for the ages. Nonetheless this is still a great challenge!!!
Can't stand the new Local Legends notifications. Such spam.
Ken Hunt I’m not totally sure the point of them. Like congrats, you’ve fun the same loop 80 of the last 90 days, you have no variety in your workouts!
Amazing Job.
Going to do this challenge this year !
You crazy people!!! On a serious note well done gents, that was a great achievement! 👍🤜
"I hope they manage to pace this one" ah I see you've met Mark Threlfall before
😂
HIGE INSPIRATION! Great friendship, great positivity. Really enjoyed this motivational video. Well done team!!!!
Well done guys! You are awesome!
Im woundering how long it will take to recover after such a event. And what kind of training and prep it took take on such a challenge. Amazing what you both did and inspiring. Rest well 💪😊
Insane effort folks, kudos!!
It'd be great if you could make a video that would take us through the training and recovery plan for this endeavor. Thanks :)
absolutely amazing you crazy dudes!
Well done guys! Pretty awesome!
Monster effort you 2, well done.
You’ve earned a rest day
Epic Chaps, well done :)
Amazing! Really inspiring especially as I'm planning on working up to do the "Buddha's Palm" here in Taiwan (100km with 3200m E+). But I'm curious how you guys fueled for this, the night before, during, and after?
You are absolute beasts. 👏🏽👏🏽
Must of been some amount of DOMS after that one
Brilliant work. I am still working on the Alpe du Zwift (equivalent to Snowdon). I might try Everesting on my Versaclimber next year as that would only be 4 hrs constant so much the same as a marathon for me at my current pace. I could not psychologically do much longer times even if I was fit enough.
Bravo gents! Quite the feat! Tho you need white GTN shirts for the heat! I started sweating just watching. Can't wait for your next nutty adventure!
I totally love you guys.
14:25 LOL As I was watching you guys start so fast, especially on the downhills, and having done a couple of Everestings myself, I was sure this realization will INEVITABLY come. It's just so funny, EVERYONE starts out WAY too fast. LMAO
Great you completed the challenge crazy guys! Very good presentation too. How long before your legs were fresh again ?
When Mark said he wasn't going to do another ultra for a while... lol
Congratulations!!
Thanks for the history of everesting.
I'll never complain about hill reps ever sgain!
Great video 😁
Stunning effort
I’m planing of doing a 100 k in the alps next year because of your crazy ideas! Keep on going to publish videos like that :-) Come on Sam, you secretly want to be on board for the necxt challange ;-)
i love episode like that one
Great work 👍 My first marathon started with 10 miles that were mostly downhill and my legs were destroyed in a way that they had no right to be after only 10 miles. I’d consider giving Everesting a go on a bike but not in running shoes
Wow... insane but congratulations!
I'm training for a Double Everesting next summer. -- 58,058 feet of elevation gain. (But I'm taking the gondola down to save my knees.) Inspiring to see you two get this done. Cheers!
Wowowow - epic challenge! Let us know how it goes 💪
Well done!
Well done.
Wow, just wow!
Ryan Atkins has the record. I don't like that the assisted record gets the credit and he has explain the assisted/unassisted thing every time he talks about it. His accomplishment is leagues ahead of the assisted record and this video goes to prove that.
Respect!
Very interesting video, congratulations on completing the Everesting. I'm curious, what would you have done differently, now that you've done it?
Well we did it on tarmac so that the crew could film easily. We would definitely have chosen a softer surface. Also steeper. This was only just over 15%, so end up taking a long time as a result
I'm just wrapping up the Norseman 6500m 1 week climbing challenge I think I'll end it with one last run this evening and land 7500m (I ran and did not bike at all). and I am finding this video almost unbelievable. But I know it must be true. Much respect to you guys! No more challenges for me. I'm just hoping I can cash in on this week with a fast 10k or 21.1k just for the fun of it.
That is madness.
*Looks for nearest hill with similar elevation and distance*
Looked a bit chilly in the morning !
You should do a vid on "Who's A Better Runner: Roadie(GCN) vs MTBer(GMBN) vs E-biker(EMBN)" 🤣
Great vid as always. Keep up the work🤘
Wow. I went up this climb twice in a row on my bike this week and it was tough. I wondered how many times you'd need to do it to Everest it.
crazy lads,
other average joe on a weekend: fancy for a coffee at a cafe?
these lads on a weekend: fancy for a 100k / everesting?
2 guys in Belgium did a double everesting (unassisted) on huge stairs in Liege, they scouted alot of different hills but said that stairs are the way to go, but u have to train specifically for them!
Wow that’s impressive. Yeah, we knew that this wasn’t quite steep enough, but we needed a hill that could be filmed on easily. Conveniently it wasn’t too far from us either.
Great work guys💪, got my own cycle everesting on Friday...🚴🏻♂️ Going to be hot to!!🍳😂
Good luck! Stay hydrated and pace yourself well.
Perhaps I should try everesting on a bike. It's also a serious challenge.
Thanks Hebrews 👍, I need to definitely do both very well🙂, yes you should.
Best of luck for it Mate. 👍
Thank you Mark, it will be a challenging day, it's for a great local charity to, so that will help a lot.
Plz review the titan aeox wheels
Just rewatched this🙂 I'll have a run assisted everesting next on the same hill as the cycle everesting, maybe around August? Big fun🥳
I'm attempting a double Everesting on foot next summer. I'm interested -- did you do your everesting run? Any lessons?
@@mid-lifechallenge ha just replied to your site and seen this message, not done my run everesting yet James👍, I'll be watching your progress 👀, good luck.
@Andrew H Thanks man! Good luck in whatever your current endeavor is.
Interesting that you picked a climb on Asphalt? Wouldn’t it have been a bit “wiser” to take on this crazy challenge on a dirt road? Might have been a little bit easier on the musculoskeletal system?
Congrats! Hope you guys recover quickly from this bonkers effort! 👏👏👏
Yeah, but we wanted a hill that the crew could easily film on too. So it was a bit of a compromise
One should give it a go using cross country skis or roller skis! 💪🏻
You should pitch this idea to Klaebo
How do they brake the roller skis on the descents? It's a great idea. I bet an Olympian skate skier would CRUSH that challenge.
@@andygendron, there are brakes to mount, but I guess it would burn a lot of rubber! Perhaps you could hang on to a motor bike or similar?
When will you do the Everesting swim?
Dude, that's awesome, but why didn't you try running backwards uphill? I mean, i think I learned it from a video you guys made. Tried on a few hills and enjoyed it, since it forces different muscles, so you get less sore. Now I'm planning on doing half everesting running (no way i'll do "full"), but with this technique (probably running backwards 1/3 or 1/4 of the distance).
ohhh, and Mt Donna Buang is quite local to me...I wish I hadn't heard that....
legends .....
my heroes!
I must’ve missed it. How long did it take?
Great think of living in Chamonix I do this once a month
And I thought Everesting with a bicycle was MAD enough!
its fun to watch the facial impressions change the longer the run goes :D haha... i bet the downhills are the murder on this, eccentric load is trough the roof, i would do few months hill marathon running and some spesific gym sessions with high level mobility training... but if you are a bit coocoo and need to create content... why not just wing it? :D
How sore were you guys the next day?
Main while, Heather is sitting at home, wondering if all her GTN colleagues have gone insane because of COVID
Cycling gloves to prevent blisters with the poles. ;-)
Great video and solid run guys. I've tried to everest run two times in the past 12 days. Both were solo on a moutain bike trail without poles. Managed 13600 feet and 15600 feet or so the second time. So very mentally draining. Will give it a go again tomorrow morning on stairs. Congrats on the finish and the great videos you guys produce.
Completed my Everesting Run yesterday! Your video was helpful. Thanks again, such a mental endeavor to do solo. Just waiting on the official word from everesting.cc. keep it up with the well produced content. You guys are doing great!
@@SuperFoxtrap I'm planning a double Everesting run next summer. Circling back on your successful attempt (big congrats, btw!) ... any lessons learned? Helpful advice?
Really great effort that gents!
Next challenge, everesting swim hahahaha.
But seriously, do the 1 hour climbing challenge, see if you can beat the gcn guys but running! Should be interesting given the advantages of Vam for running, but disadvantage of descending. Do it on the steepest climb you can, dirt.
Swimming locks in the local canal?
Why you gotta do this 😂 making my planned bicycle Everesting seem like nothing
when are you trying unassisted again?
Eating and drinking that much food and then running straight after makes ME feel like I’m going to throw up
