Hello guys, always love your show. As you mentioned running in the Winter in Canada does get tricky. But it’s still worth it, even in the cold or snow. Anna I think that you would be awesome at the 4-4-48 challenge! 👍
Another great show! I'd LOVE to see Anna tackle the 4x4x48! It's something I've always wanted to try, and seeing Anna do it would definitely encourage me to try!
I am a Canadian follower and love the channel. Winter running where I live (Hamilton, Ontario) can be tricky in the Winter. Aside from the sub zero temperatures we also have the added challenge of ice/black ice and a lot of snow. In warmer months I run on trails which can be very difficult in the winter. Winter running often consists of roads and hills. I love night-time winter running especially after or during a snow falls. It's quiet and you seldom see anyone aside from fellow runners or dog walkers. I am currently training for the oldest road race on the continent called Around the Bay here on Hamilton. It takes place in March and will be my longest run ever once I complete it. I would love it if you could highlight this amazing event on the channel for all to see.
Thanks for the lovely feed back and great insight Lauren! Wishing you all the best for Around the Bay, you’ll smash it! We will definitely consider highlighting it! 😊
Do it! I'm thinking of doing it for my 31st birthday in June. Getting in ultramarathon shape now, so pretty confident I can finish. Yikes, your conversation does make me realize it will be hot.... My question about logistics: Do you have to start at the top of every fourth hour (0, 4, 8, 12, 16...) ? Or, Can I start at midnight, then sleep until 6 or 7 AM and run the next 4 miles between 7 and 8, then the third set sometime between 8 and 12. I want my sleep!
@Taylor Layton Unfortunately, it's every 4 hours, on the hour! So expect to only get 2 and a half to 3 hours of sleep max 😴 Good luck though if you do attempt the challenge 👍🏼
Living in the upper Midwest, USA, we don't have a choice but to run in below zero weather this time of year. The key is to wear good socks, ski gloves, fleece leggings, layers, a good jacket lined with fleece or fur, a buff that covers the mouth, nose and neck, a warm hat and a pair of ski goggles. _No exposed skin_ . Otherwise, breathing in the crisp air is refreshing! Not recommended for those with exercise induced asthma. Cold weather can be a trigger. You all aren't wearing hats outside over there. How cold does it get in the UK?
Thanks for all the great insight and advice for running in cold weather! It gets to about -4 here in the south of the UK, but colder in the North and Scotland
I am a French-Canadian follower and love the channel. Winter running can be tricky in the Winter (I am from Quebec City). Of course the sub zero temperatures (in Quebec City the average temperature is -25C during winter) and the ice are added challenges. But there are also a lot of bright sides! The "crunchy" sound of snow when I run is a personal favorite. Personally, I find running in the snow to be an amazing workout. It improved my running technique by forcing me to put my foot down flat so I didn't slip (I tended to put my heel first). Also, because the snow makes me lose a lot of grip and propulsion, running during spring and summer feels unbelievably light and fast! It's a delightful contrast! **As English is not my native language, please excuse any grammatical errors** :)
David Goggins does this run yearly, this year scheduled to start March 4th @ 8pm West coast time. He has done motivational speeches and talks at the start and along the way for encouragement. Believe he does these live on his Instagram.
I ran the 4×4×48 challenge during the August bank holiday last year as part of my training for the London marathon in October and to add to my fundraising target. I raised £900 of the minimum £2k within the 48 hour period, and on the 1st day had a to finish a job hanging oak doors for a customer (I'm a carpenter) between the legs so it was done by the deadline. Go Anna!! You should attempt it this year!!
I do 3 runs a week (2 of them at 4 miles (6.5KM) with a tempo and interval) the 3rd run is my long run at 8 miles (13km) -- I think you need the LONG run to surpass the mileage of your shortest runs -- no matter how fast you do the shorter ones --- just my opinion
Nice to see the Arahi get a look in, they’re often ignored by other TH-camrs but I’ve been wearing them for almost two years (went through three pairs of the 4 and on my second pair of the 5) and they’ve been fantastic for me. I suffer with plantar fasciitis, and also over pronate, and the Arahi have enough cushion that I can run daily without pain, and also the stability to keep patella femoral pain syndrome away. I love them, and haven’t found any other trainer that ticks every box like these do.
January and February can get pretty cold here in my part of the US. I like to set myself a challenge that I call “Outrun the Temperature” where you run more miles than what the temperature is at the start. Last Saturday I managed to run 8 miles when the temperature was 7F (-13.8C). Great way to get you out there running when you really don't want to.
Love the show! The creative side of the channel is on a whole different level. The only advice I could possibly offer is don’t stop! I just got into running and every time I have a question, such as 2 short vs 1 long, I just hop on and y’all have covered it. Thanks for everything you do!
Anna, I did the 4x4x48 in 2021 and loved it. It’s a tremendous challenge for the entire body. Physically not terrible as you do get some muscle rest between, but mentally, so exhausted because there’s always another run to do. It just doesn’t let up. Definitely do it! Such a cool thing to conquer
Great idea to do the 4 4 48 challenge. Do it with friends if you can. Four of us did it hear. We camped out in 1 person's garage for the 48 hours. We had so much fun. We were really tired but it was awesome. Oh and we did an extra 2 miles. If you're that close to 50 miles you might as well do it. :)
Totally loved this episode and SURPRISED to see my story about running every street in Beamsville, On, Canada! You guys are the best! Look foward to your new episodes, especially the challenges.
Yes! I would love to see Anna do the 4x4x48 Challenge! I love watching you all take on these challenges. They really entertain, and INSPIRE me! Keep up the great work!
Manni, just to let you know; Frankie Fredericks was the first Namibian to win an Olympic medal - four - spread over the 1992 and 1996 Olympics where he won silver in the 100m and 200m on both occasions. At the 1996 Olympics he winners of the 100m and 200m both set world records. NIce to actually see you out on a run. All credit to Christine Mboma for being the first female Namibian and also for what she and her counterpart have done for the sport of athletics.
I love and run in Fairbanks, Alaska and have run down to -35, though for longer runs I head indoors to run on a treadmill. It requires all kinds of specialty gear and layering, but it's fun. The 4 x 4 x 48 challenge sounds awesome, go for it!
Anna, definately go for it. I done the 4x4x48 last year. Incredibly hard but very much worth it. Grab the other presenters to help you with your overnight runs. The midnight and 4am runs are the hardest. Sleep when you can, eat sensibly. Don't run too fast, slow it down and conserve energy. A big mistake is to run fast to get it over with and have more recovery time. It works the other way
I did run the David Goggin's Challenge -- just finished early this morning 7 AM on St. Patrick's Day in Central NJ -- temps were warmer than average - wasn't sure how my body was holding up though and the last 3 4 miles sessions i did walk with a .2 mile jog each mile (took me about 57 minutes) - since I did 48 miles feel I did complete the challenge -
Hey y'all from NC. Always love the monthly show, the news is awesome, so cool to hear about the great achievements of ordinary runners (like me). I'd like to see some information on older runners and how they approach nutrition during a marathon. I'm running my first marathon on the 26th of this month and having finished my 20 miler today I'm still not locked in on what I'm going to do food wise on race day. I'm so thankful for TRC and have learned so much on my running journey from y'all. Cheers!
It as been pretty cold here in Canada lately. I must admit that I envy the temperature you have, but there something magical to run in the cold and the snow. I'll cheer for you Anna when you'll tackle the 4x4x48 challenge :)
Hello everyone! Regarding the "Runners Knot". I've found it way more comfortable as I do not need to have my laces as tight when using it. And best of all, it secures the shoe around your ankle much better, which keeps your toes from hitting the front of your shoes for less toe nail troubles.... Love the Running Channel!!! :)
It’s been a cold winter and we’re in for another storm tonight. I do wish I could find a great winter running pant though! The majority of our winter has been in the -20s C but the windchill has been pushing the temp to feel like -30s to -40C. Canada is a country of extremes I now that come summer we’ll be in the plus 30s
Awesome show, you should do the 4/4 challenge and challenge the TRC viewers to post there’s in the TRC Strava channel, another Anna v the Viewers?! Love the Fenix 7….I want one!
Great show guys! Anna I definitely think you’ve got what it takes to complete the 4x4x48 hour challenge. A few of us from Smalley Road Runners are taking on the Ginsley challenge for charity this year which is 4x4x24hrs.
I loved the 4x4x48 hour challenge. It was actually easier than I thought and I loved the early morning runs. It was great to incorporate into my ultra training and made me feel much more confident about my training
great video! what kind of microphones are you using to record audio during your run conversation? and are you recording the audio with iphone or another device? thanks!
Just look at info provided by donor services. Plasma normal in 24 hrs, red blood cells 4-6 weeks, averagely 3 weeks. I've given over 80 donations and haven't really noticed much of an impact even at 61 because I just take things easy for a week or so, just be sensible. If you're training hard for a race don't donate until afterwards.
@@61js Men and women are very different. Lots of women are mildly anemic. I would advise to check with a GP or PCP. They may recommend iron supplements for a short period of time.
@@61js thanks Im up to about 10 donations. Last one was a month ago. Felt sluggish for a couple weeks, then I took the booster = another few days of rest. @M I always get a free strip of iron supplements when I donate. Ive read that many runners can benefit from these anyways.
Did the 4x4x48 in October. Loved it. You absolutely need to do it. I’m up for it again in March but going to alternate running and biking with a 3:1 mileage ratio as I’m dealing with knee pain. Stay hard.
Wow! Well done! The mile an hour for 24hrs I did was so much harder than I thought it would be. 4x4x48 sounds v scary, but why not, huh? Any tips are grateful received! Haha
I've only just heard of the 4x4x48 challenge t hjos week actually and I've been contemplating doing it too. Would love to see you accomplish this Anna. I've still got a lot to learn on fueling and hydrating my body correctly (ive never had a gel) but would love to do this challenge sometime x love you guys
For these kinds of questions it's always helpful to consider the extremes. Does running a marathon have the same effect on you as running 100 meters a day for 422 consecutive days?
It looks like the lace tying is slightly wrong, which is a common mistake. You can tell because it looks like the lace is sitting naturally front to back, but it should be left to right. As well as not looking as nice, the knot is weaker and more prone to untying. The runners knot part of the lace tying is fine (aka heel lock), but apparently most people learnt to tie shoe laces wrong. To fix, either swap the left over right of the initial basic knot, or tie the loops in the opposite direction. Easy to say, but hard to do it you've done it your whole life the other way around. There are many TH-cam videos on this.
Hi guys :-) Thanks for another great vid. I have become obsessed with backyard ultra's lately. I was thinking that would be fun challenge to watch you guys do??? What do you think?
Good question Wendy! It's all very individual and depends a lot on the length of your run. It's always a good idea to drink water before you head off though. How long are you planning on running for?
After for me, simply because I'm already uncoordinated enough! 😆 My fondest race memories involve margaritas at the finish, and one race where there was a whiskey tasting tent at the finish. We ALL became whiskey fans that day! 😆 Dozens of people sunning themselves in the grass after, giggling... Edit... oh wait, WATER!? 🤣 😂
Great video as ever. Would love to hear about drop. Does bigger drop protect ankles and is a lower drop better for knees/hips? I ask as I have just moved from the adrenaline GTS to the guide 14 and there is a 4mm drop difference.
Love TRC!! I do an Ultra every year that consists of trying to do the most amount of miles you can run/walk in 24 hours. It’s a lot of fun here, my personal best was 67 miles (and it about killed me 🤣) So maybe TRC could do it as a contest between the group? Who can log the most miles in 24 hours??? 😎
Great show again! I would love for to see a proposal for the best running apps for Apple Watch, especially compared to a Garmin. I am wondering how I could find the “proposed workout” feature anywhere else to work with my Apple Watch…
Rick - this is a little 'left-field' - but have you any idea where I could find a brief (no more than 2 minutes in length) explanation of why domestic energy prices are rising at such a phenomenal rate?
I did a running streak of 3k for over 100 days, but eventually got injured... right now i'm extra cautious if I ever think about going more than 6 days a week... 7th day can always be extra strength and stretching if I really want to feel productive. that being said, sometimes I want to do it again... maybe I just need more base and more discipline to make the runs SLOW.
3k for 100 days is very impressive! Stretching and pacing yourself are both very important when taking on that much consistent running. What made you want to run that much to begin with?
@@runningchannel Looking back, I'm not really sure... I had caught the bug, run a few marathons and wanted to run them faster... and a streak seemed like a kind of fun idea. I think it was probably the overall mileage (up to 115km a week) more than the streak that injured me... I was not at all ready for that type of training load. 10% rule only works to a point, IMO.
I live in upstate New York and I've been trying to start running again with the new year. Temperatures are not much better in NYS than in Canada - the average temperature from my last 3 runs is -2 F (-19 C). I might be insane, but I'm still running, so I guess it wasn't that bad.
@@runningchannel So far it has been a great change for the better. I have used it for a 6 mile run and today a 4 mile run and am not experiencing any of the usual pain on the top of my foot that I had before! Well done TRC for the great tip!

so were you surpised as me to hear "Beamsville" lol
Yes I was. It's wonderful that they showcase so many different running events and communities around the world!
Ever tried Yaktrak Pros?
Love to see you do the 4 x 4 challenge Anna. You are such an inspiration.
Do it! I'm thinking of doing it for my 31st birthday in June. Getting in ultramarathon shape now, so pretty confident I can finish. Yikes, your conversation does make me realize it will be hot....

Nice to see the Arahi get a look in, they’re often ignored by other TH-camrs but I’ve been wearing them for almost two years (went through three pairs of the 4 and on my second pair of the 5) and they’ve been fantastic for me.

I love them, and haven’t found any other trainer that ticks every box like these do.
Thanks Ray, really glad you've had such success with them! Its great to find a par of running shoes that work so well for you 😊
January and February can get pretty cold here in my part of the US. I like to set myself a challenge that I call “Outrun the Temperature” where you run more miles than what the temperature is at the start. Last Saturday I managed to run 8 miles when the temperature was 7F (-13.8C). Great way to get you out there running when you really don't want to.
I love that!
You should get “Outrun the Temperature” on a T-shirt 😂 -13.8 is very impressive
Best of luck Anna. Sounds like a pretty tough challenge to take on, you got this!

I've done the 48 hour challenge and the 1 mile every hour for 12 hours. 48 hour challenge was soooo hard but Anna would crush it!!!
Congratulations Jennifer what an amazing achievement! Which one did you find harder??
@@runningchannel definitely the 4 miles every 4 hours. Lack of sleep was the hardest part
Wow! Well done! The mile an hour for 24hrs I did was so much harder than I thought it would be. 4x4x48 sounds v scary, but why not, huh? Any tips are grateful received! Haha
@@anna.the.runner try to nap in between the runs and eat small meals
@@anna.the.runner and do some runs with friends. That'll help!! Can't wait to see this video!!!!
Great question but wasn't fully answered. In general does two short runs have greater impact on fitness or not ?
Love to watch your video 😊👍🏻❤️😘
Thanks Seema 😊
Would love to see a 4x4x48 training series and attempt! Something I am looking to do later this year
I'm in Ottawa too - Looking forward to the 4x4x48 this year :)
Love the monthly show, as all your video! Go for the challenge Anna! Can't wait to see it!
Thanks Priscilla! Glad you enjoy the show 😁
I've only just heard of the 4x4x48 challenge t hjos week actually and I've been contemplating doing it too. Would love to see you accomplish this Anna. I've still got a lot to learn on fueling and hydrating my body correctly (ive never had a gel) but would love to do this challenge sometime x love you guys
I have created my own challenge for 2022. It is to run a half marathon every month. 1 down, 11 to go!
Wow! Good luck and let us know how you get on! 🎉
For these kinds of questions it's always helpful to consider the extremes.
Does running a marathon have the same effect on you as running 100 meters a day for 422 consecutive days?
It looks like the lace tying is slightly wrong, which is a common mistake. You can tell because it looks like the lace is sitting naturally front to back, but it should be left to right. As well as not looking as nice, the knot is weaker and more prone to untying.
The runners knot part of the lace tying is fine (aka heel lock), but apparently most people learnt to tie shoe laces wrong.
To fix, either swap the left over right of the initial basic knot, or tie the loops in the opposite direction. Easy to say, but hard to do it you've done it your whole life the other way around. There are many TH-cam videos on this.
Hi guys :-) Thanks for another great vid. I have become obsessed with backyard ultra's lately. I was thinking that would be fun challenge to watch you guys do??? What do you think?
Good morning. Thanks for another great show.
Just a quick question for all my running geeks out there, drink while running or after??
Good question Wendy! It's all very individual and depends a lot on the length of your run. It's always a good idea to drink water before you head off though. How long are you planning on running for?
@@runningchannel 120 km in three days
After for me, simply because I'm already uncoordinated enough! 😆 My fondest race memories involve margaritas at the finish, and one race where there was a whiskey tasting tent at the finish. We ALL became whiskey fans that day! 😆 Dozens of people sunning themselves in the grass after, giggling... Edit... oh wait, WATER!? 🤣 😂
Definitely do the 4x4x48 challenge!
Thanks Mike 😁
Yes Deffo ...Anna Vs 4x4x48 ! good luck ..thats an episode im looking forward too :-)
Thanks Vincent, hahaha we'll see what we can do!
Tried the runners knot today, really felt better in my running shoes. Thanks for the tip 👍
Glad it was so helpful😁
Great video as ever. Would love to hear about drop. Does bigger drop protect ankles and is a lower drop better for knees/hips? I ask as I have just moved from the adrenaline GTS to the guide 14 and there is a 4mm drop difference.
Great new setting. Well done guys. Your content is always for "real people" and I love it!
Thank you! So glad you like the new set 😁
Love TRC!! I do an Ultra every year that consists of trying to do the most amount of miles you can run/walk in 24 hours. It’s a lot of fun here, my personal best was 67 miles (and it about killed me 🤣) So maybe TRC could do it as a contest between the group? Who can log the most miles in 24 hours??? 😎
Thanks Richet! Wow that’s very impressive! 1 ultra a year a great achievement as well!
Great show again! I would love for to see a proposal for the best running apps for Apple Watch, especially compared to a Garmin.
I am wondering how I could find the “proposed workout” feature anywhere else to work with my Apple Watch…
the swallow tail has always been there on other brands right? is that really new? apart from the name maybe?
Your videos are awesome, keep it up!
Thanks Buddy! Do you prefer long or short runs? 😊
Shorter runs, but slow long runs are pretty nice when I got nothing else going on that day. 😅
You guys should totally do the Goggins challenge in March
I loved it!!
Rick - this is a little 'left-field' - but have you any idea where I could find a brief (no more than 2 minutes in length) explanation of why domestic energy prices are rising at such a phenomenal rate?
😂
Good luck, Anna, with your 4 by 48!
Thanks Ivy!
I did a running streak of 3k for over 100 days, but eventually got injured... right now i'm extra cautious if I ever think about going more than 6 days a week... 7th day can always be extra strength and stretching if I really want to feel productive.
that being said, sometimes I want to do it again... maybe I just need more base and more discipline to make the runs SLOW.
3k for 100 days is very impressive! Stretching and pacing yourself are both very important when taking on that much consistent running. What made you want to run that much to begin with?
@@runningchannel Looking back, I'm not really sure... I had caught the bug, run a few marathons and wanted to run them faster... and a streak seemed like a kind of fun idea.
I think it was probably the overall mileage (up to 115km a week) more than the streak that injured me... I was not at all ready for that type of training load. 10% rule only works to a point, IMO.
How does the swallow-tail on the Hokas affect driving? Just wondering if it would catch on the carpets?
You guys are awesome. Love the videos!
Thanks!! So glad you enjoy them 😊
I live in upstate New York and I've been trying to start running again with the new year. Temperatures are not much better in NYS than in Canada - the average temperature from my last 3 runs is -2 F (-19 C). I might be insane, but I'm still running, so I guess it wasn't that bad.
Wow Kelly! running in that temperature is seriously impressive!
4x4x48 vs anna v sarah v a random runner .... good luck
I ran 547 days in a row, minimum of 5km and maximum of a marathon. Until I caught you know what.
Thanks for showing us the runners knot. Hopefully this will ease the pain I feel across the top of my foot after a long run!
Let us know if it helps!😁
@@runningchannel So far it has been a great change for the better. I have used it for a 6 mile run and today a 4 mile run and am not experiencing any of the usual pain on the top of my foot that I had before! Well done TRC for the great tip!
