Hello! We are Oscar and Masha, a mexico-russian couple living in Paris, France. Our vlog will be dedicated to showcasing the amazing adventures you can have in Europe, mostly directed to trail running and other sports as well as reviewing items for sports related things. Always with a hint of human touch and fun. Life is only one, and it is also your own… so enjoy it to the fullest!
I‘ve seen a couple of videos regarding the Eiger trail run, and it looks amazing. The Panorama trail could be something that I would like to do in the upcoming years. Haven’t run more than 22 KMs until now, but who knows? Maybe you can extend the list, or I should start collecting my own wishes :D
Yes!! The Eiger is definetly a run that is worth doing, Masha has already run once the E51 of Eiger, she loved it and this year she is trying another race to have more views from that area. No worries about the distance, you can start at the 20k UTMB races level and after a year of doing them you will be more used to them and build up for longer distances! :)
@@oscarandmasha, after posting the previous comment I went back to your video about E51, where I left a comment three months ago that I would like to do that run :)) Probably because of me watching that video I got bombarded of beautiful videos from Eiger in the last months :D
That run looks to be in Bietigheim-Bissingen :) You should also visit the Mercedes Museum, and I’d like to see you next time at our local Stuttgart Parkrun(s), or on a trail overseeing the city center!
Hello! It's amazing to see that we are actually quite close! If we go back to Stuttgart we'll send you an update to meet, we would be more than happy to meet at the local Parkrun(s)!!
Congrats! I will be running CCC in August and have a few questions if you don’t mind: 1) I won’t have a crew. Do you think that will make the race a lot more challenging? i.e. more stuff to carry 2) How much of the race did you run vs walk? 3) What’s the toilet situation like at the aid stations? Long queues and filthy? Thanks! My goal is just to complete the race, but I have a feeling my finish time could be very close to the cutoff time 😂
Hello @macau.friend ! Congratulations on taking the challenge of CCC! We hope you enjoy the experience very much! 1) No crew: It will not be such a bad deal but this means that you will have to plan your food and clothing more thoroughly because you will not have someone to take to you a change of clothes or to give you any gels so you will have to carry more weight. It's not a deal breaker, just prepare ahead and it should be ok! 2) I would say that starting the race when going downhill I almost never walked, but in some uphills specially the long ones walking was the way to go to not burn my legs. After the 70km point I began to falter as the fatigue was reaching out to me so from that moment I went just slow enough to keep reaching the checkpoints but running began to feel impossible, specially at the last 10km, when everyone is like "you are almost there!" but... there is still 10km to go :D 3) Before leaving your hotel, Pleeease, use the toilet, the ones in the start area are packed and it can take 45 minutes to queue for them, it's insane! Then it get's better as the runners distribute through the race, carry on your backpack some toilet paper, you never know when you have to find a spot to... well you know, always good to have something to clean yourself :D This advice comes from our experience, we really like these events and we are very happy to hear from people that also participate on them! Try to enjoy and if you make it before the cut-off time it's already a great achievement, not too many people can finish a 100k run in les than 26 hours in the Mountains!
@@oscarandmasha Thank you so much for the detailed reply! It’s really helpful. Excellent advice regarding the toilet paper 😁 I plan to run as much as I can on flat surfaces and maybe on some of the more mild downhills. Hopefully, will make it before cutoff. Hope to see you in August!
Hello! That was definetly enough between the check points for Masha, but her water intake is lower than mine (Oscar). So, when it's really hot I try to use the water deposit of one liter that fits in the running backpack!
Thanks! It's been a month and little by little the next time seems closer, hopefully I'll be able to do the 60k run planned in Nice for October and finish of course! :D
I just switched from COROS Apex to Forerunner 255 Music in December. I think it is a great watch, and I can recommend it to anyone. I also enjoyed the Garmin coach functionality. It has some navigation, but no full maps. Let’s see how much this will bug me, as I want to do my first trail run this year. And for beginners there are definitely cheaper watches than 700€ that are much nicer to have than carrying your phone on every run.
I've found my people!! 😂 Great video! I've always finished in the last 20 people in my 50ks and trail marathons. My goal this year is a 100k and I'm just hoping to finish, but in all other races, my goal is... drumroll... back of the mid pack!! Or, top of the back?? 😂 Dream big!!
Hi Kelly! I can safely say on our side we have been at least once in the last 20 people arriving (mostly when weather is very hot!) But it is still à very happy ending when you go through that finish line!! Let's meet keep on running!
What an amazing effort! Congratulations on finishing! And it's great to see races which let you finish even if you're slow, more races should do that. Makes me want to also take on this challenge someday!
Thanks a lot!! @Martakus1000, it's true that we search for races that have more lenient cut-offs as we are not exactly "front of the pack runners" 😅. I hope we can inspire you to join races, we just really like sharing our passion for the sport!
¡Que padre verlos juntos en tan hermosos lugares! Excelentes sugerencias para recorrer #Paris y #Praga. Luna está hermosa 😍 Los quiero...besos y abrazos 😘😘😘😘
