My first 50k ultramarathon of the year, the Big Way Round 50k. The trail race organised by Big Feat Events starts and finishes in Winchester, Hampshire and includes a large loop around the city. This race is part of my training for my first 100 mile ultramarathon, the South Downs Way 100 which I will be completing in June.

Yes, well done! Thanks for the inspiration. I’m doing my first 50K in June. You’ve help make the distance achievable.

Ahh that's great! Good luck both of you with your 50k races! I'm sure you will love it!

@leerunsultras Год назад

Love the fact is pissed down just before you finished to cool you down. 51k + the warm up and walk home 😂 well done james

@jamesday1 Год назад

Thanks Lee! Yeah the rain was definitely unexpected 😅

BRAVO James... you made it look so easy!! You're fitness has just gone from strength to strength since you started the channel, or maybe it's since you moved and then joined your club!! You really have motivated me to find a club to join myself after your glowing reports and all alone I find I'm not very regular nor very committed to any real speed work! Well, I've got my first ever 50k coming up in June so nothing new before then at least, plus I'm also thinking of moving too! Anyway clubs will be finishing for the summer soon!!

@jamesday1 Год назад

Thanks Bev! Yeah, my fitness does seem to be moving in the right direction 🙂 Nice to hear you're looking to join a club! I'm sure you'll love it if you find the right one! Not long until the 50k! Make sure you enjoy the experience. There'll be some tough moments in the last 20k, but if you pace it well, you'll finish feeling great. If your energy or mood feels like it's going, just remember mood=food and you probably need some additional calories 🙂 Hope it goes well!

“Thought I’d make it a bit easier” - Runs to the race…

@jamesday1 Год назад

😅 I did think that when editing the footage. To be fair, it was just a short 1km warm up jog. The video made it seem like I was running much harder than I was.

@CR-ew9gl Год назад

Well done, great to see you had a good run and were happy to be out there!

@jamesday1 Год назад

Thanks! Yeah, I loved it.

@Mulla171 Год назад

Well done James. Looked like a scenic route which always help. Great content. I'm running my first 50km in June.

@jamesday1 Год назад

Thanks! Agreed, the trails are lovely round Winchester and very green right now. Which 50km are you doing? Good luck with the race. Hope it goes well!

@Mulla171 Год назад

@James Day Thank you. I'm from Ireland, so I'm running the Portumna (Galway) Forest Marathon. It has several distances as an option, so I'm going to take on the 50km. Nice scenery to distract me Lol

@jamesday1 Год назад

Looks like a great place to run a 50k. The loops will definitely help keep you fuelled so you don't have to carry too much gear!

@philipking3010 Год назад

great job, nice to see the fitness paying off for you!

@jamesday1 Год назад

Thanks Philip! Yeah, training seems to going well at the moment. This event definitely went better than expected!

@brionia9760 Год назад

Well done. Looked like a lovely route.

@jamesday1 Год назад

Thanks Brioni! Definitely. Some beautiful trails 👍

@debbieboothroyd2420 Год назад

Great video! I live in Winchester, hoping to run this one next year, at least I'm used to the hills from doing all my training on them!!

@jamesday1 Год назад

Thank Debbie! I would definitely recommend it. A great route and seems to be a rapidly growing event!

@dameanposner6808 Год назад

Well done, James. Did you find the waist belt and single 500ml flask worked ok, or did you regret not having a running vest?

@jamesday1 Год назад

Thanks Damean. It worked perfectly for the event and the temperature but if the distance to the aid station was longer or if it was a warmer day, then I'd definitely want more than 500ml. I went through 2 litres - didn't fill up at the first of 4 aid stations. When arriving at the final 3 aid stations, I'd just finished my soft flask. Only downside was not having a convinient place for the GoPro so carried it the whole way! Would definitely use a vest for a longer event but for this event it was great.
