I thought Ben was the natural one in front of the camera. I’ve been a long term sub of his. But you’ve also got a great presence and natural charisma in front of the camera. Some really great tips on this video. Keep up the great work and you’ll be up there with Ben in no time at all Sarah!!!!!
If you're looking for an introduction to use going forward, that first 20 seconds or so would be great! Nice to see your personality coming out...keep up the good work.
Thank you for this video! Watching your repeats on the hill brought back all my good memories from a 10K race I ran in the park a few years ago. That’s a stiff hill for certain!
Winter where I live and I only have time to run before work. My pre-run prep, hitting snooze on the alarm three times, the. Drink all the coffee I can find before shuffling out into the rain. Happy days!

Sarah I love your videos I’m watching them in Florida Saint Petersburg Florida and really enjoy it. I hope to get an ultra marathon shape myself and you’re a great inspiration
I'm doing the CW50 too - it'll be my first 50-miler, but have now signed up for the SDW50 also. Sounds daft, but the biggest improvement in my training was when I started doing Joe Wicks at the start of the lockdown, as i'd always done 'just running' before with no cross training. The effect it has had on my heart rate recovery after hills has been remarkable - highly recommended! :)
Might see you in there! I’m a fellow ultra runner , live in cutty sark. Do my hill repeats on maze hill, it’s brutal! Great vlog, taking some of these tips for my ultra in April. Manchester to Liverpool 😁
Just found your channel and really enjoying the training sessions. I have a 25 mile race in the peaks in September so have been looking for inspiration for training sessions. I wimped out of the 33 mile ultra thats on the same day!
Your best video yet imao. Of course you’ll get more relaxed and confident the more you do but apart from the nice presentation style and your personality coming across there was a great mix of content and advice here. Not many hills near me but I’ll seek some out and have a go! 😎🏃♂️👌👍
I'm running the SDW50 in April. It'll vey first ultra and I'm really looking forward to it! I've heard Centurion really look after their runners. Unfortunately I won't be able to recce any of the course as I live Manchester way, but there's plenty round here to emulate the terrain. Hard to know what time time/pace to have in mind as I've not been that far before. Looking forward to following your training in the build up for CW50! Your TH-cam content is fantastic by the way!
hey ashley, ah you will love sdw50! and yeah centurion are the best in the biz when it comes to ultras. it's always hard to know how to pace these things but thats where the long runs come in as you will find your natural pace :)
Well done Sarah! I signed up for the Chiltern Wonderland too, supposed to be my first ultra. I have been training since March but I don’t feel ready at all, I’m considering postponing 😬
hey alessandra, oh i am sure you will be wonderful out there! it is a big challenge but there will be lots of other first timers there like yourself all with the same worries and doubts. i'm sure you'll be great! see you there! make sure you come and say hi!
Great vlog! I actually feel motivated to stop avoiding the hills around my house lol. I know it's basically the opposite of what you're currently training for, but could you share some info about how you broke 20 for the 5k last year? How long did it take to go from 20:28 to 19:40? I already watched a couple of videos about the topic but they were all by men, so I'd be very interested to hear a woman's perspective since it's a bit harder for us to achieve the same results.
I know you don't necessarily want more man advice, but since I JUST went from 20:08 to 19:15, I can say that increasing my cadence and weekly mileage slightly made all the difference in the world!
@@lukehewko260 That's awesome, congrats! Any advice is appreciated. My cadence is already pretty high but my stride length is a bit on the short side, so I guess I should work on that.
hey breenie, i ran 20:28 in feb 2019 and then 19:39 in october 2019 but it was never something i was solely training for, it just kind of happened while i was getting fit for longer distances.. but yes i will do a video on going sub 20 in the 5k soon!!
Thank you for sharing! I am running my first ultra (55k)in less than 5 weeks. It has been a long build up from my first road half marathon this January. I am already looking at challenge for next year! 🙊
Great advice Sarah. I would love one day if you (or Ben) could do a small review on the cameras you both use on your channel, particularly the pros and cons between the Gopro and the Osmo. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work
Great work, Sarah. Loved that video!!! I hope The Chiltern 50 goes ahead and I wish you luck. Have you ever done the Beachy Head Marathon in Eastbourne? Me? Ten times and during those ten years I have achieved something quite unique: I have managed to become progressively slower each year!!!! LOL! Best wishes, Sarah
hey alison.. no never done beachy head marathon, only been to the area once and WOW it is amazing! one day i'll do a race down there! you must love it if you've done it that many times, the fact that you've got slower each year just means you are spending more time appreciating the beautiful scenery :D
Loved the video, as always you are so inspiring with your beautiful personality coming through. Would really be interested in knowing more about what strength exercises and training you are doing for this type of event. Loved the intro as well 🥰
Well done Sarah you're a natural on the camera... Ben had better watch out 😂😂😂 How long were each of your hills in distance? The hills I run are about 0.4k but very steep
Nice video, you really are good at explaining your workouts. Maybe I need to talk more in my video's. You have good ideas though, it makes one watch your video till the end.. I admire your work👍🏽💪🏽
A lovely video and a good tip on the hills repeats. When say your weekly mileage was around 60 to 65, is this purely running mileage or you included the cycling mileage as well? Thanks, love your videos x
Great job mam sarah😘thank you for your tips and motivation,.this channel will be my guide to my channel,keep it up just stay connected,to promote the benefits of running😍😍
Great video - I am doing the Tring Ultra 50k at end of September but only just entered so have about 10 weeks to train - could you do a video on strength training please ? Thanks for another great watch 👍 x
Awesome content and nicely put together you're a pro now.. :) Currently building up the miles myself for M2L 50 miler in April. Will yourself or Ben be bringing out a 50 mile training plan? I'm more than willing to purchase it if you do... Thanks
ah thank you! i don't think we will as every ultra is so different and therefore it's quite hard to produce an "off the shelf" kind of plan but as long as you make your training fairly specific to your race (terrain, conditions, elevation etc) with a couple of back to back long runs and some strength work then you'll certainly be on the right track. good luck!
Hi Sarah , how was the race to the king ? I’m booking this years one in 5 weeks , do you have any tips about this race in particular? Love all the videos , thanks 🙌🏻
Sarah your Nike top is amazing! Is it the elite or aeroswift? Great tips, I’ve really been trying hard to do more hill sessions to get fit again post foot surgery. I am looking forward to giving a similar session a go. I’ve only done short hill sprints so far, but could do with doing longer hill reps like yours.
if i am running yes i just hold the camera in my hand (but i haven't figured out a good microphone solution for that yet!) and if i'm walking i'll have it on a gorillapod with a mic plugged in
Really enjoying your vids Sarah. Quick question if I may, what do you use to film your content and what software for editing? If fancy giving it a go but so far have just used my Go Pro and Quik for putting vids together. Thanks 😊
hey helen, i film everything with a dji osmo action or just my phone and then this video i edited on final cut pro but all my other videos i have just done on imovie :)
Thanks for this. Signed up for my first 50 miler in September as well (need a qualification run for NDW 100) , not chiltern wonderland as its full :(. Doing most of what you have done, i think i just need to up my mileage and a few back to back longer runs. How many of those would you recommend? Ive did the virtual race to the stones and managed back to back 50k for my first Ultras, but feel i need to do more (maybe not as well as 50k). I managed to get a spot on the Wendover woods nighttime 50k, :D
I may have missed it but your total hill climbs were 6 miles? What was distance up? Or is it as simple as 3 miles up 3 down? Orrrr broken up to 1/4 miles?
Hi Sarah I would like to run my first ultra and before that a full marathon. So far the longest I've run is 21km and also I'm not a fast runner! How do you suggest to go about it? How long did it take to you to train for your first marathon and ultra, I was thinking of going for a 50km after I manage a marathon!!
Great video, how do you get the time, in lock down I was running 35 k a week maybe more. And now it’s dropped a lot due to work, family life. Does anyone have any tips ? X
I would love to run a ultra race one day but my longest is a half marathon at the moment. And my average week is 30k so very long way to go and I don't even know if I will ever be able to do it but that's where dreams are for..
marielle of course you will! keep on building up the mileage safely, stay consistent with your training and you will surprise yourself at what you can achieve! :)

Thomas Bolt Agree! That 2017 version was a work of art! Managed to get the replicas of this years version and also this years NN running team version for retail price. For 80 usd they are totally worth it. Not so much for 300+.
Seeing your confidence grow with every new videos is amazing! Great job Sarah!
agree !. My first thought and I was gonna type it !!
ahhhh that is so nice thank youuuuu!

You make it look so easy, Sarah! 👏👏 Most of us can barely run up a hill, let alone chat and hold a Go-Pro! 🤣 😅
Loved that intro! Great video, thanks for the tips!

Opening sequence was brilliant- loads of energy.
Except for taking the lift before going out on a long run!
Honestly since I found your Channel I am even more excited for my first ultra (75k) next year! Thank you for the inspiration.
ahh thank you! good luck with your race!
Maybe in the (near) future you can change the "brand" to "Parkes & Place". Has a nice ring to it.
Place and Parks if anything. 😉

Great update on how training is going & good luck with Chiltern 👍🏃
Your videos just get better each time. What a beautiful place to do your training. Look forward to the next one.
Loving your videos. Great training insight. I’m hoping to do an ultra one day so your vlogs are much appreciated
I’m watching your videos in St. Petersburg Florida and your videos inspire me to get into ultramarathon shape.
Sarah I love your videos I’m watching them in Florida Saint Petersburg Florida and really enjoy it. I hope to get an ultra marathon shape myself and you’re a great inspiration
I have done the Centurion CW50! It is a really nice route. You will love it. Equal favourite with the NDW50.
Great VLOG! Really enjoyed it! 😀
Cool, it was you that posted my new neckerchief out👍🏻. Subbed. Great Video

Great video Sarah thanks for the tip about posture whilst going uphill will come in handy.
This is great. Definitely subscribing.
Thanks for the awesome video! I would love to see how you warm up for different kinds of runs!
Another Great video! I look forward to following along on your training.
Thanks to you, one is able to admire the beauty of Greenwich! So not only do we get to learn but also to travel👍
Great video ☺️ more of these please 👍 and I would also really enjoy watching your speed training

Plenty of hills !
Good practise you did and have fun with the preparation for the 50 mile race 💪💪💪👍👍👍

Your awesome! Best wishes on your race! God Bless You
Thanks for the great information and tips on this one. I've never tried hill reps for a specific session but will give it a try this week
no worries danny, hope it helps a bit! enjoy the hills!
Another good video Sarah. If possible on a future video could you show us some of the training runs you have set up on your watch :)

ah that's awesome, welcome! and yes loads of places to run in london, you'll be spoilt for choice :)

ah cutty sark. My memory starts to hit me. Watching for some advice since just finished my first trail run race last Sunday, 44km at 9h45m 🎉
New subscriber, loved the video. I hate hills but great tips, will bear them in mind for sure!
Great pacing on your repetitions very consistent 👍🏻.
Great job Sarah, enjoying your channel👍
enjoyed the vid, subbed to see more! would love to try and ultra myself some day after seeing some stunning trail races in NW Scotland all the best
Thank you 🙏
Great video sarah 👍
Well done Sarah you're a natural on the camera... Ben had better watch out 😂😂😂

ah nice! which ultra are you doing in september??
Sarah Place The Fox 60km. Local to me and my first crack over marathon distance
Dan Runs I’m also doing the Fox Ultra 🤩
rbagyinszki brilliant! Let’s connect. You can find my socials under my TH-cam vids
Dan Runs cool, done ✅
Great vid! I know it's definitely the most boring part of any run, but could you please take us through your warm-up/cool-down rountines?

Great video, interesting content 👍
You have the exact same shoes as me! They look just as beat up as yours 😅😅
I would recommend buy Nike Alpha fly next% for a 50k miler it really helps!
Good practise and esay for you💪🏻💪🏻😄
I like your video Sara keep on doing 👍😃💪

Love all the videos , thanks 🙌🏻
great upload!
Loving this video, but definitely happy I don't live in London so I can run in a forest or wineywards ahah Keep them coming
Great video as always Sarah. Is that the DJI Osmo Action you were using, the stability is very good.
thanks mike and yes it was!
wow~~ I love it !!

hi kate, it's just an aeroswift one! good luck with the session, enjoy!
Sarah Place thank you so much!
This came at the best of time, I just signed up to SDW50 for next year 😬
oh amazing! still one of my favourite races to date, i love it!!!
Sarah, to film do you just hand-hold the action-camera? You make it look so easy.

I may have missed it but your total hill climbs were 6 miles? What was distance up? Or is it as simple as 3 miles up 3 down? Orrrr broken up to 1/4 miles?
I came here for the tips and your experiences which I did indeed receive! But, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I stayed for the accent. 😂
hahahaha thanks
What sort of strength training do you do?
Great content. Just subbed and watched the lot.....
ah thank you! welcome aboard!
can i ask do you hold your go pro rather then have tri pod i was just thinking this may be easier when doing my ultra
Hi Sarah I would like to run my first ultra and before that a full marathon. So far the longest I've run is 21km and also I'm not a fast runner! How do you suggest to go about it? How long did it take to you to train for your first marathon and ultra, I was thinking of going for a 50km after I manage a marathon!!
Where did you get the awesome Nike vest, can’t find them myself ???
Great video, how do you get the time, in lock down I was running 35 k a week maybe more. And now it’s dropped a lot due to work, family life. Does anyone have any tips ? X
Treadmill works in these times. Better than nothing I sat
I would love to run a ultra race one day but my longest is a half marathon at the moment. And my average week is 30k so very long way to go and I don't even know if I will ever be able to do it but that's where dreams are for..

You are so beautiful! Thank you for being an inspiration in the running community❤❤❤
How old were you when you did your first ultra?
27 :)
How’d you get your hands on the Nike singlet?
just bought it on pro direct! they only seem to have the womens one on general sale though for some reason
Sarah Place I thought they were only giving them out to the pros, can only find them for 300+ lol
Thomas Bolt The Pro Elite verions are only given to nike athletes (also available on ebay by athlethes who have ”lost” them). The aeroswift replicas has been on general sale for a very limited time this year and are also sold on ebay for like 300 usd.
Martin Larvia I’m not the biggest fan of this years so I doubt I would of bought it anyway, my favourite has to be 2017
Thomas Bolt Agree! That 2017 version was a work of art! Managed to get the replicas of this years version and also this years NN running team version for retail price. For 80 usd they are totally worth it. Not so much for 300+.
you are super👏👏👏😘
How many hill reps? Thanks
Anyone know what the red thing is she wears on her wrist? and where to get one!?
Can you please do a waht you eat in a day
Boa tarde
Show 🏃♀️👏👏👏👏
