Really good recap of the race, I like the fact that you asked the questions everyone wants to know 👍 my wife, Jodie, never watches my running videos either - we threaten the kids with having to watch them if they ask for too much tv 🤣 Interesting about the time spent in aid stations - especially that middle one, I’m sure it probably didn’t seem it at the time but 65 minutes is a fair old lump of time. Sounds like you did well up to the point you said with nutrition it’s amazing to think 8792 calories is bonkers! But I guess that’s what needed to fuel a body and mind through 100km. I think you did amazing mate, and this format of recap is also fantastic. I like what you have planned for the future, I hiked the Offas Dyke trail with my dad when I was about 17 or 18 (We also walked the Viking Way as well) Offas is very rugged and hilly if I Remember correctly, but it was a few years ago - good memories though - you’ll enjoy that over 7 days!
Hey Ash, thanks for the great comments 😎. That’s a few times now I’ve heard the Offas Dyke is quite rugged and hilly! I think I will get myself some running poles and learn to use them. Whereabouts is the Vikings Way?
@@trailrunningphil Poles sound like a great idea. Viking way runs from the Humber Bridge near Hull to Oakham in Rutland, and is lovely and very flat in comparison.
Love to see all the stuff from your product reviews being put to good use! Well done on the race! More of a challenge than I can handle! Keep pushing Phil!
Cheers Phil and well done! This came at a great time for me - I’m doing my first ever 100 km on Saturday! I’ll take your advice on the checkpoints for sure!
The most important advice Conrad is - EAT THE FOOD! Even if you don't fancy it.. you will NEED it. The more calories you get on board, the better your running will be. Try everything somethings you THINK will work, might not and things you are certain they WONT work probably will! ;). Enjoy the day mate. The training is done. This is your lap of honour!
@@trailrunningphil thank you. I did enjoy it but I also found it MUCH harder than I expected. Jelly babies and ginger biscuits saved me. Coke usually does that but THEY RAN OUT WELL BEFORE HALF WAY 😳😳😳
I figured it maybe easier!! Going less distance in a single day and spreading out mileage. I found on multi day hikes you got “walking fit” so I’m hoping it’s the same with running! 🤭 thanks for taking a look my man.
Thanks for sharing your experience running the TPC 100K, your afterthoughts, and all the great tips! Good luck with your next challenge, multi-day races sound fun!
Loved the recap, Phil of your 100K! That's quite a journey. I can imagine it felt wonderful to get that goal off your list. Your next year's multi-day race sounds exciting. Looking forward to your product reviews!
Thanks Gill. It would be easy to keep pushing the mileage up but it also feels unwise. The adventure is more important to me and making the adventure last longer sounds exciting!
Interesting summary and analysis of your ultra, run. I have no idea how people do them. To me it's like going into another planet. There are so many things you have to consider. My head would be so overwhelmed, it would be bursting.
I’m not so sure you would be overwhelmed. If anything, the trick is to think about nothing! In the pre-planning, yes of course, a few things to practice and get right but if I wasn’t filming, It would have been a lot easier. We are all different though Olga and running a long way isn’t an interest to many people :)
@@OlgasBritishFells Ultra events are mostly mental challenges. I didn't run longer than a marathon in my training and I walked for 5 minutes every 5k until I couldn't anymore. Women are far stronger at endurance running than men because they problem solve better and don't push themselves when they don't need to. Why not volunteer at an ultra event and see what its all about and pick up more tips?
Hey Phil, congratulations on finishing the TP100! I was wondering how you had got on. This was a great recap. Thanks for sharing what worked and didn't for you. I've also got some multi-day events lined up for next year and was in particular curious about your anti-chafe findings here. Cheers!
Im still considering getting some compression shorts to help with the quads but I guess more training would help a little more! There’s a few of your videos I need to catch up with so must watch them soon. Thanks for watching. It’s appreciated :)
Quality recap Phil! 100k is a bit of a beast mate! You're right about the time in the aid stations though sounds like a bit of time was lost there. I got excited when you said you were running across Wales I thought you were entering the dragons back! 🤣 Looking forward to your adventure ls in 2023 bud! Kudos again on the TPC mate! 😎🤘
Ooh the dragons back…..a beast of a race! Let’s see how I get on with the Offas Dyke path first! :) It’s more of a running holiday to be fair. I need to start to look for a few interesting multi day events to build up to it. Got any ideas?
@@trailrunningphil it is a monster if a race Phil! I am sure Offa's Dyke will be wicked I am very jealous! I know there is 2 day race out and back along the North Downs Way I think it's called the Pilgrims Challenge or something like that. It's 2 50ks over Saturday and sunday.
G'day Phil, thanks for the videos, keep at it. Aware this video relates to the 2022 race - super effort by the way, hitting the wall, getting a bite to eat (how good are hot chips), and recovering enough to finish is huge. I wonder how an extra year of knowledge has altered your thinking do you feel the advice you gave in this video remains relevant - what else have you learnt? I am heading into London next year, and prior to a nice family holiday, will run the 100km (so watching everything I can now to learn more about it - tips, tricks, no faffing etc.) Maybe you can go around 1 more time (target under 15hrs?)
Hi Peter, thanks for the great comments. You know, I am considering doing the event again next yes! What would I do differently? Take salt tablets throughout to help stop those leg cramps. Do not accept not wanting anything to eat and Forcing myself to get more real food on board, even it it means it takes along time to eat it. I also wouldn’t get fully changed halfway unless I was soaking wet. I believe I could get in around 14 hours and would enjoy seeing if I could! Thanks for the comments and good luck with your training which I must add, is very important for enjoying your day too!!
14 hours, there's your challenge!@@trailrunningphil I've not suffered cramping in long events (yet) but agree it's better to plan and to be prepared. the aid stations can eat up time so quickly - get in/out or you can get trapped. Do you carry a (written/electronic) race strategy? I find having a short 'do this at 5-10-15km etc' type list on teh phone or card keeps food/hydration/social/aid station strategy (I list to relax, talk, walk and enjoy) on track especially when fatiguing.
Yeah that is sensible and perhaps I should make some "on race" notes. A good shout because as you say, when your fatigued the brain just doesn't work properly! I REALLY need to eat more food thats for sure. Seeing what other people get down them is making me realise that fueling for these ultra's is something then I need to improve on. I've decided I definatley WILL be there next year so if you are competing, and see me, make sure you come and say hello :)
Well, we both have just under a year to plan and prepare (it's a long time anything can change). Think I've got you on Strava now, @@trailrunningphil enjoy the trails.
Did you have any other strange side effects from the race, other than starting to talk to yourself? 😄 Great recap mate. I've made a note not to spend an hour changing my pants on my first ultra! 👍🏻🏃♂️
@@trailrunningphil I really should get the camera out again. Living in the spare room at my brother's house has really changed all of our routines. We're in the process of buying a house so I can hopefully get back to normal then.
@@markg99 ooh I see. Yes moving house can make you feel your life is upside down! I'm also moving house in two weeks. Good luck with all that my friend
Well, there's zero hills, good aid stations and a bag drop at halfway. If you like seeing the Thames, bits of London and some posh houses then yes it is worth doing!
Solid reflections here Phil. Sounds like you've good lots of really good bits coming up on the channel as well. Offa's Dyke next year is a great plan! Interested to hear the mic review as I need to get one of those at some point too.
Cheers Ben. I’m still trying to work out the optimal place for the mic as it does suffer from bouncing while running but I’m really happy with the audio quality. I have no clue how to train for multi day events yet but I’m sure I will find some help from somewhere! 😅
@@trailrunningphil The quality on it sounds great. It's something I've not experimented with yet, external mics, but they make such a difference to audio quality. I'll let you know if I find any good content on training for multi day!

Ohhhh what happened there, just clicked on your channel and it said I wasn’t yet subscribed too!! Most bizarre 🤷♂️
@@skinnylegsbarefootshoes so weird! Let's blame YT!
Love to see all the stuff from your product reviews being put to good use! Well done on the race! More of a challenge than I can handle! Keep pushing Phil!
Sign up for a 50k ultra next year Paul. You will surprise your self im sure :)
Cheers Phil and well done!

very interesting video to watch my friend.and thanks for sharing
Hi my new friend ,you have good video thank for sharing , happy weekend 👌👍🤝
Thanks for watching 🙃

Thanks for watching
Loving the recap and recommendations 🙌🏻
Thanks Lysette. Hope your keeping well.
Great recap my friend!! Very nice to hear you didn’t suffer any injuries! Keep crushing it! 💪 🏃♂️
Hey Eric. Thanks for taking a look. Although I didn’t get injured, I certainly felt crushed at the end!!
Great recap! I'm glad to hear you didn't get any major injuries! Multi day events sound fun. One day I hope to get to that point.

@@trailrunningphil I am kind of curious, but I am scared.
@@OlgasBritishFells what are you scared of? If you didn’t finish, it wouldn’t matter.
@@trailrunningphil I am scared that I will exhaust myself too much or injure and then won't be able to recover to run again.
