My aim is to help runners perform over the Ultra Distance. As a run coach for Destination Unknown and a Black Diamond Equipment Ambassador running has become a huge part of my life. Having completed 5x100 milers, ultra mountain races and numerous other events I've gained experience in training, strength & conditioning, nuttrition and lifestyle choices. My best performance to date is a sub 24 hr 4th position at the Arc of Attrition 2022. This channel documents my lifestyle, training progress, insights and experiences along the way.
After watching this video, I bought some Hapla band and started taping my toes the same way. No issues until I did a 70 mile ultra recently, and trashed both big toe nails. It appears that the sticky hapla band was pulling on my big toe nails even though I was also wearing Injinji socks. Toe nails have now been partially pulled away from my toes, and I expect them both to fall off soon. Very painful. Not sure what went wrong.
I think want went wrong is you ran 70miles. Mate taping your feet may help but prob not going to fix that. I lose my toes nails almost the time. Just the way my nail bed and nail angle is.
Great runnong, i did this in 2022. I've been out injured for a while but returning to fo Pinnacle Ridge Extreme in July this year. I wont forget my salt tabs.
Hi Adam, thanks for sharing my foot taping technique - my original video in 2016 shows the method perfectly ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8wRmHjlGyhI.htmlsi=vPA8Y7vayhqg1Ec2
Came here because my new job has my 2 big toenails bruised. I’m 100% using the tape method this week to see if it helps. Man, bruised toenails really hurt.
Thank you for this amazing advice! I am running a marathon this year and I’ve been getting black toe nails throughout my training. Do you have any recommendations for this? How can I continue training without further harming my toenails? Do you recommend taping for marathons? Thanks!!
wish I looked into this a while ago, had to drop out at mile 43 of my 50 miler (51.4) cause my feet were too beat up to maintain a steady pace. Gotta let them heal up bull ill keep this book marked!
hi adam what was your total food weight and what was the brand name of packed food and how much its cost if its possible could you send me the link brother thnx.
Hi Adam - successfully completed MdS this year (in the 60+ age group) having pretty much watched and re-watched all of your MdS videos. All of your stuff, advice, tips helped massively with my preparation from toe taping to taking a little head torch to keep round my wrist at night. All brilliant stuff! Thankyou! Ian
Great to hear you'll look to upload more frequently Adam, love the channel, the journey pre and post Arc was a must watch, all the very best and great running, take care
Nothing to be disappointed with there mate! That is a solid performance across the board! Roll on the 42k! Happy Birthday #manofthematch #flexibleatfifty 😎🤘
That’s looks great ! Brilliant , I spend loads of effort faffing about filling my bath each morning and dumping ice in it . That looks like a proper advance in getting the sort of ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ha1ZbJIW1f8.html method . Do you think it’s worth getting ?
