To be clear, that investigation was done by redditors who chose to publish on IRunFar because of how large the platform is and they wanted to contribute to a blog they've read for years. Give reddit its credit. :)
I'm not a nutritionist either but sounds like "that" gel company padded the important numbers. YIKES! I'm staying away from those! Appreciate the info. Great pod!
Thanks for putting this video together. I found it helpful in considering some of what I will be putting into the RED-S presentation that I am currently developing. This contained a lot of good information, but I will be delving deeper into the physiology of the intake, sleep, and recovery metabolic triad. Dr. Charles Marsden
Great podcast, solid preview as always 41:15 I think you're mixing up Lide Urrestarazu, the young basque runner who is leading the Skyrunner World Series, with Naiara Irigoyen who is a more seasoned runner, mostly specialized in vertical races until recently. Naiara was top 10 in Zegama last year and already got two podiums in Skyrunner this year and was 11th and 4th in the asian leg of the GTWS. Side fact, Naiara's significant other is Alain Santamaria and she sometimes features in Alain's youtube videos.
enjoyable pod. I listen to other freetrail pods, but this one in the past has come off as too focused on the elite, or only on issues relevant to the elite athlete. This one was an all purpose topic pod. Dani should become an RD when she retires, and dispense emotional comfort to finishers. I love those type of RDs!
And did you notice, how Hillary catched her sunglasses while rolling and put them accurately back on her head? That was badass too, as was Martin Gaffuris videography.
Good on ya' EmKay, to each her own. There is no one size fits all recipe in the building of an endurance life and career. It's a very apt cliche, it's a (ultra) marathon not a sprint. ✌
Living near Kobe, I would obviously like to see it back, and Vollet does like it much because it is a different type of course (more technical) and the proximity to the city, giving it a different feel. But as the series does like to travel to different places and a live broadcast was impossible due to connectivity, I guess it is unlikely it will be back next year. Salomon was bought by a Chinese consortium, so it will get another race next year (Four Sisters again?) and Asia should get another one (Vollet really likes those back-to-backs for several reasons), whether in Japan again, or maybe in South Korea, Thailand of elsewhere. In the men's race, Elhousine slammed hard on his fall, and while his ankle was hurting, he was complaining more about his back right after the race (I attended him as much as I could), but he was in good spirits the next day when I guided most of the runners around Kyoto. The group was really happy for Joey, and both Bart and Daniel were very pleased with their top 5 spots. I thought a Japanese might sneak in the top 10, and I was wrong, but was correct in thinking Ryunosuke Ômi (12th) might fare better than Ruy Ueda (17th), thanks to better course knowledge. In the women's race, Maude was very surprised with her win, still feeling niggles in different parts of her legs from her injury. She sprinted to the finish as she heard cheers behind her, thinking it was the 2nd woman catching up with her, while it was actually Patrick (the men started 30 minutes later). Sara was really glad for Maude and her own performance. Joyce was a bit disappointed, though the technicality really didn't favor her. I was happily surprised to see Takako Nakamura finishing 9th, and her family was there to watch her race, so did Kaede Hagitani's (16th). I sat in the bus for a good while next to Allie Mac on Sunday, and while a bit disappointed with her result, she was very grateful for the opportunity. And that seemed to be a sentiment shared by the vast majority of the runners. In addition, as a literal nobody, I felt so welcomed by the whole group, they made me feel as I belonged with them, and as a trail runner, I guess I do, even if I'm leagues away from them in terms of performance. What a great community trail runners form.
I hope you are well. I saw your RU-vid channel ‘‘The Sub Hub Podcast" Your channel subscriber 103. and video 86. Your channel and video content are very good. Also, the thumbnail design is very attractive. But here are some problems: 1. SEO score is very low 2. No title - description - tags are SEO friendly 3. Not sharing on social media platforms and your RU-vid channel is a lot of trouble. As a result views, likes and subscribers are not increasing. Benefits of 100% SEO Score: 1/ Views will increase 2/ Likes will increase 3/ Customers will increase 4/ Viewing time will increase 5/ Audience will increase. So, if you want your channel to increase subscribers, views, likes and comments with proper video SEO, Google ads and monetization. It will be your right decision. Do you want to increase your SEO score? I am waiting for your response. Thank you.
Hello sir, Hope you are well .I have already visited your RU-vid channel. and analysed the videos. Your videos are great & very nice but your video SEO and channel optimization are very low. This is a big problem. Because of this your video is not getting views, likes, comments, subscribers and is not going viral .Video uploading is very important for SEO and proper promotion. RU-vid channels need SEO and video promotion. If you want, I can create a report on your channel growth . I am waiting for your response. Thank you
I’ve been living for nearly 20 years nearby Kobe and I’ll be assisting one of the Japanese RD at the race. Last Sunday I ran a bit with Greg Vollet and he did say it was the most technical course of the series. Most of the runnable sections are at the top. Loop 1 has about 1/2 a km on road before getting into a single track that is sometimes very narrow & exposed, sometimes very steep. The climb up is fairly standard. Loop 2’s descent is on a trail rarely used and it can be very slippery, and the climb is long and not too technical… for the race. Loop 3 has more climb before the crazy descent that’s sometimes rooty, sometimes rocky, sometimes very steep, and the climb is the same. I haven’t checked loop 4, but Vollet and my boss said it was similar to loop 3, but steeper. So yea, the runners are in for a good treat! In terms of Japanese potential good finishes, with the men, Ruy Ueda lives far (2 1/2hrs by plane), but he has visited the course and in his video account said local terrain knowledge could benefit he and his compatriots. So he might not be too knowledgeable about the course. One to watch for IMO is Ryunosuke Omi (Adidas): he has done well in national and international races, and living in Kyoto, he has likely visited the course a number of times, so I wouldn’t count him out of the top 10. In the women’s race, I don’t feel the local starters have too much chance of being on the podium, nor the top 10, though I’d be happy to be proven wrong. If I had to guess, Yoshimi Tanaka might be the local top runner, but I’ll also watch for Kaede Hagitani, a relatively newcomer to trails (so the technicality of the terrain could hurt her), but ran the 5000m at the Tokyo Olympics. Finally, there is also Takako Takemura, who has seen the course a few times who could do well. The forecast calls for temps around 23°C and it could be humid since rain is forecast the next day when a more open race is happening on the 3 first loops. That day I’ll be guiding the foreign athletes (at least those who want to) around Kyoto. So it should be a fun race. I regret joining the organization a little as I probably won’t see much of the race, though I might be a whistle marshal in the section where loop 1, 3 and 4 crisscross.
By the way, check out 亀仙人の楽しいトレイル (use caption translation in the videos): he has a few course attempts videos. They’re a bit shaky at times, but you’ll get an idea of the course. He’s not too young, but quite fit as a boxing coach, and it’ll be a struggle for him to finish before the cutoff. I definitely wouldn’t be able too, especially right now!
Hi Ladies, hope all your roads are rising up to greet you, the wind is always at your back and the Great Spirit is holding you in the palm of his hand.
The words he quoted about Lydiard's training that doing hill reps once in a while in the build up isn't enough according to him as we need to keep honing in different set of skills time to time.
I love the part where Terry talks about trail running as a "skill set." It's not just about your fitness level but knowing how to move efficiently over different terrain.
Thanks for having Antonio on the show. I think he deserves more visibility: after all, not everyone can be in the top of the overall ranking of three different circuits in the same year (3rd in OCC, tops in Skyrunner series and Spartan Championship) and doing that in your fourth year of competition in trail running... He's a beast. Keep up the good work for the "sub" community!
Ingebrigtsen also has weird skin problems. Must be the Norwegian water. Rome wasn't built in a day but she blazes on the scene and just wins baby😉 Great job ladies with the podcast!
