Thanks for the Vlog Dom. I'll be taking on the G2E in just over 7 weeks time. You video was very helpful in seeing what to expect on the day. I'll be running it with someone also , as like you this will be my first ultra. Huge kudos mate 👏. Dropped a sub to the channel too.

Great vlog, covers the ultra well, it was a good one. You even got my good side at 4:00!

This was really helpful. I have just signed up to do it next year…my first proper ultra! I’m not. Dry fast but I should do it in the cut off time.

Great video.
I'm running it this year. I feel like it may be similar to London to Brighton ultra but without overnight camping.
Feel like I can smash this in a day 💪💪

Nice, running (sort of) this year too. Hope that the training is going well!

Great video. Thank you! 2 questions: 1, what kind of shoe did you are with, your regular running kicks or trail shoes or hoka type for more cushioning? 2, how did you carry your stuff, your suitcase, from Glasgow to edinburgh? did you use a special company that does that or does the organization help with that? I´m flying from Spain and I need to figure out how to carry my regular suitcase.

Hey! I was wearing Brooks running shoes which I had been training in. These didn't cause me any issues at all so I highly recommend picking shoes that you know you can travel long distances in.
The company do a great job of taking your bags from the beginning to the end of the race but this information should be on the event website. it is worth double checking the restrictions!

@@outsideandactive Thank you very much for your reply and big CONGRATS!

Hei. Great video ! We are gonna do this next year. With such an early start. … how did you get your luggage to your hotel In Edinburgh? We dont live In the UK and are wondering how to solve that lol .
Well done !!!!

[@outsideandactive]

It is such a great event! The organisers have a baggage system where you can check in luggage and they will take it from the start point to the end point. There might be a limit in terms of size and weight which I think is outlined on the website so it might be worth taking a look at that or messaging GB Ultras directly. I imagine there will be a lot of people in the same situation!
