Thankyou. I"m brand new to this effort. Was a major marathon racer and adventure racer. This is my first 200+ mi race. BIG DIFF! I have a LOT to learn. My feet are super clammy so I'm really going to have a hard effort. Working to learn now!! Thank you for this video!
This was fantastic! Thank you! I like leuko tape but I put a little pad of tape between the tape and my skin so it doesnt rip the skin off. Thoughts on small pads between the skin and the tape?
Mike McKnight, also known as the low carb runner. He will be running the Cocodona 250 on May 1st, 2023. You should be able to catch him on their live coverage of the race. Anyway, gotta run 😉
@@cultrunners Cool! I have been dreaming to do ultras. Just watched your Moab videos, Kerry Wards videos and just watched Mike's FKT in Colorado. I have also done Rim to Rim to Rim. Your videos have pushed me to start training! Thank you! I live in AZ and will try to drive up to cheer on the runners and maybe see the incredible Mike.
@@cultrunners Congrats to Mike's Cocodona250 win! Congrats to the cultrunners team! Unbelievable! So cool to watch it all go down with live feeds by the @Aravaipa folks.
Did a Rim to Rim couple years ago. Had a blast but run into some bad weather. Was in the 60s around Phantom Ranch and started sleeting around 4-5 miles from top on Bright Angel between Plateau and Indian Garden. Then the snow began to fall and wind kicked up. Luckily we all packed rain gear and jackets
Thank you! As a beginner ultra runner, would you please post your typical heart rate (total and percentage of max) and explain your strategy on your heart rate goals/strategy? You mentioned at 20:35 that your hr spiked to 140 causing you to slow until you resumed at hr of 131. Thanks again!
Hi James! My coach had me running mostly aerobic (rather than anaerobic) throughout the race. To get your actual aerobic ceiling you can go to a testing center but a good formula to use to find your typical aerobic ceiling is 180 minus your age. For me that would have been 180 - 52 or 128. Since I had gone to a testing facility I know mine was actually closer to 132 and so we tried to keep the heart rate at 132 and adjust pace if it spiked above 136. Running in your aerobic zone makes it easier to keep running for longer distances and for a longer time. Does this make sense?
Awesome run, Tony! That was an amazing performance! Thank you for including me in your acknowledgment photos at the end, could you send me that photo? ❤
@@cultrunners I won't see you in Tahoe, I'll be in Montana prepping for a thing that isn't publicly announced yet. 😉 Thank you for sending the photo! I look forward to seeing you again my friend.
Thanks, enjoyed the video. Thinking about signing up for this as my first 50M tomorrow morning when 2023 registration opens, but I’m slightly terrified.
Thank you for posting this. I can't believe you had the energy to film while running this. What an icredible journey! It's evident that you ran with gratitude.
Hi David! Thank you for watching 🙂 I like to record and document to be able to remember what I went through. 80 hours with just over 4 hours of sleep is a long time to try to remember things. I’m glad I had the recording so that I can relive much of the race. Cheers! 🙂
What an incredible journey! Running such a long distance, it's amazing to see all the different terrain/trails/mini-ecosystems. Congrats on 9th overall! That's amazing :-)
Thanks Chad! It’s definitely an amazing race with amazing race organizers and volunteers. I say the race is like four separate races in one because of all of the different terrain and changes in environments.

Are u charging ur watch while wearing it? I was thinking about that the other day. Instead of buying a new watch, i can buy a battery backup and plug the watch in and still wear it.
@Cult Runners fenix 3. Battery lasts about 16 hours on full gps mode because i used it for my Ironman, and it died 30 mins before i finished. I figured now that im running ultras and the way my watch charges is with the clamp style charger, i could charge it with a pack just like you did. I dont like the battery saving options. The course doesn't look the same on the app when im done, lol
For most of the video we used GoPro Hero Black 7. There are a few shots using a Canon 80D DSLR. Honestly, we could have shot the whole video with the GoPros.
By the way, here is the link to this years video: Moab 240 - 2022: BACK TO THE DESERT. A journey of transformation at the 2022 Moab 240 Endurance run. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C8ylK-vdVF4.html
