@partyboy007tiger Год назад

I normally open all the packets of flapjacks, bars and anything solid. Wrap them all in tinfoil, cut them if necessary into portions if they're large. That way they're really easy to open and the foil crushes down to nothing. Mark them with sharpies if need be too 👍👍👍

@m3phist0 Год назад

Brilliant idea. Will be using this

@sandstromj Год назад

For ultras I sometimes put gel in special soft flasks made for gels so there’s no litter and it’s easier to take a gel or two. They usually fit 5 gels.

@Inspire196 Год назад

The thing I really like about all your videos is your enthusiasm and positivity. I wish you and Sarah all the best for next week - it is going to be an amazing adventure!

@julien7705 Год назад

Hi Ben, you can save weight by taking a very small mobile phone and not your iPhone, also you can take a very light second head lamp, and not the same. Have fun!

@thomasfairchild5538 Год назад

Haven't watched a video of yours in a while unfortunately... but I'm loving this sort of "chilled" out Ben! Very pleasant to listen to

@alanclark666 4 дня назад

Sauce for the rice..... brilliant. Just when you think you've thought of everything.

@Dannyner6 Год назад

"i'm choosing white because it will get really dirty and i'll look really hardcore" haha! awesome. what an incredible amount of stuff. hope you have a ton of fun, living out your dream. i'll have you in my thoughts this weekend :D

@andreealupsor5685 Год назад

Lemons are actually good to have in an aid station, particularly towards the end of long races, when some people start feeling squeamish😄Best of luck at the race!

@nberkel Год назад

Best of luck and safe travels! Keep your head on straight! Stoked for how far you've come and conquered fears over the last couple of years 👍🏼

@eodair_ch3n3y Год назад

@pizzathehut2001 Год назад

Good watch choice, D C Rainmaker walked the course in a week and the enduro 2 lasted the whole walk

@kenfox7007 Год назад

Interesting video, thanks - that's a lot of kit, hard to imagine how you can fit it all into your pack! Good luck to you both at UTMB, will be following along from London!

@markthomasson5077 Год назад

My thoughts, would be good to see it all packed away. Running all that way with camera kit too.

@andrewwright3676 Год назад

Great video Ben good luck with the race

@AlistairCollins Год назад

All the very best for you both for the UTMB - get it done!!

@AndrewPawley11 Год назад

Very cool. Best of luck.

@vic6820 Год назад

Avoid the noodle soup, loads of people puke up after that. Pasta at Courmayeur is a better bet. Good luck 👍

@happyglamper2971 Год назад

Good Luck I'm sure you and Sarah will smash it.

@Heinrichdouglas1 Год назад

So exciting. Just about to head over to South Africa for the Comrades race on Sunday. Only thing I’m taking is some gels, thinking that’s a hardship, lol. Best of luck, waiting for some awesome footage.

@PatrickDelorenzi Год назад

Ben! Big fan of the channel, and looking forward to seeing the UTMB video! Please consider getting a 360 camera to bring with you (insta 360 oneX 2 is very light), the footage would be so cool and immersive! Good luck

@shaun052588 Год назад

Hi Ben. Thanks for all the epic content. Nutrition wise, do you have a specific calorie goal and how do you prevent yourself from over/under eating? Kit wise, does all that kit fit in the 12L pack? Thanks again and good luck for the race 💪💪

@francesparkes8775 Год назад

GOOD LUCK!!!!

@jeffw654 Год назад

It would interesting to see how all this fits in your pack and belt and see how much it weighs. I need some inspiration with packing for my ultras coming up

@markkendhammer5932 Год назад

Good luck!!

@BenParkes Год назад

Thank you!!

@AmuwenLifestyle Год назад

Good luck 👍

@peterjackson8244 Год назад

Really interesting: thank you.

@Q8Patriot 9 месяцев назад

Thats were s helpful thanks alot 😅

@OliverMay1 Год назад

I'm with you Ben, I can't stand sticky gels. However, the jellies from Mountain Fuel are essentially gels but without any of the stickiness (they also taste great in my opinion). Well worth a try. Also, they do a selection of energy powder/drinks of various flavours. I took one with me yesterday on a 25km race and accidentally took the 'raw' flavour. I thought I would hate it, but I honestly couldn't tell the difference between that one and the plain water I had with me. You could easily add your squash to it for some flavour if you wanted. (and no, I have no affiliation with Mountain Fuel, I've just tried loads of different nutrition brands and struggle with most as I have a sensitive stomach, thie stuff so far is working really well for me).

@patcarroll280 Год назад

Best of luck with UTMB bud

@dougpow9462 Год назад

Best of luck Ben & Sarah. Might see you out there, I'm running CCC this year. By the way you don't need a Sahara hat if you have a Buff+cap.

@nathaliado5144 Год назад

Good luccckkkkk!!! have fuuuun!!!! get it doneeeee!

@samuellarcombe4209 Год назад

Good luck Ben! Just wondered how much it all weighs? Be good to see it all packed up, sounds like so much stuff!

@BenParkes Год назад

Yes, I haven’t weighed it yet!! Too scared!

@stephaniewaskoenig1387 Год назад

I actually love the lemon! Did you know it helps against headaches and migraines if you eat some lemon after caffeine? So in a long effort it can be nice to have

@michaeleaton6249 Год назад

I'm so jealous - i doubt i'll ever qualify for UTMB! Enjoy guys! Ben, i love your trail hat (legend running cap) - do you have any others like this? different colours etc? i like that i can dunk the whole thing in water like you did on your videos :) Thanks!

@WayneWBishop Год назад

Thanks for the great video! Would be fun to see the total cost of all the mandatory gear needed for UTMB.

@BenParkes Год назад

Yes.. I was too scared to add it all up 🤣 as it’s just so expensive. Obviously there are cheaper options possible.. but still, trail running like this is not a cheap sport at all. Will do some maths and add it to the next video

@paulfaiers345 Год назад

Wrap around glasses are good option especially if you found your selfin a hale or snow storm

@sandstromj Год назад

Good that you’re taking a spork as I’ve heard that they don’t have any at the aid stations.

@Matt-ks7bp Год назад

It's funny that you mention Raynaud's syndrome, I have insanely cold hands and feet all the time and I've been tested for various conditions, but a cause still hasn't been found! I wear running gloves most of the time as well... Anyway, good luck for UTMB!

@Penfold101 Год назад

Ben: Race gear and nutrition advice for 170km! Me: That’ll be a car and some Greggs then.

@ErnieOne Год назад

I hope that the sunscreen is “without perfume”. Once I used an ordinary sunscreen with perfume and I was being followed by a bunch of bees for a few hours... Take care, dude! I wish you the best ❤

@jeancater1388 Год назад

I need a rest day shirt!

@rosscbr Год назад

Did the new Salomon pack come with the hard bottom soft flasks therefore you have to go out and buy The soft bottom ones because the hard ones are dreadful. And my other the question is what length socks will you wear as you did mention brambles etc Ben? Good luck to both you and Sarah!!

@heatherhepplewhite7885 Год назад

How on earth do you fit all that stuff in your pack?! It would be interesting to know how much the items for your pack cost altogether, along with the entry try cost for the race. Also, are there vegan good options at the aid stations? I know that was an issue last time.

@sandstromj Год назад

Good luck at the race to both of you. I’ll be racing OCC. maybe I can spot you in the crowd.

@BenParkes Год назад

Good luck!!

@sebastianforrest3218 Год назад

Just wondering as you are an amazing runner, how often do you do gym/lifting sessions?

@markmiller2922 Год назад

I've just paused at one minute in. RU-vid on my phone isn't going to cut it for this video. I'm switching to the television. Best of luck for UTMB.

@hummuswithpitta Год назад

Think you forgot to show the suitcase you'll be towing behind you. Very best of luck dude.

@WhatMatterstoMatt Год назад

Awesome video. If the weather does not change will you be swapping out your shoes part way or keep the same ones on your feet for the whole race?

@BenParkes Год назад

I’ll have shoes in my drop bag, just in case I feel like a fresh pair.

@NoName-cz5mg Год назад

Bro what's up i have a question can u tell me how would this compare in softness and cushion compared to pegasus 39-38 or pegasus turbo maybe and saucony speed 2 and 3 and also the zoom fly 5 how would it compare to those pegasus and saucony?would appreciate it ( just re-asking the question i would really appreciate if u could answer this for me )

@TheKisspeti 2 месяца назад

Great videos! Thanks for the amazing content and inspiration. I am about to start my trail runner journey. I was wondering, if you or someone in the audience, could tell me, how essential is to have maps on your watch? I would like to purchase a Garmin forerunner 255 or Garmin forerunner 955. Both have maps, however the 955 offers more detailed ones. Thanks a lot!

@killac45 3 месяца назад

Hi Ben! Where do you get the shuffles? Do you get them used?

@gothicgorey 11 месяцев назад

The adv 12 pack is it still good to run in on shorter runs less full or just having the water in pouches or does it move around a lot?

@jeremychivers2593 Год назад

Are you actually going to be able to fit all that in that 12L bag? I only ask as need to buy my self a bag and the 12L just seems so small

@markyd504 Год назад

That is a lot of kit to have to carry around with you, how much weight will you be carrying and also what is the total cost of all that stuff?? Must run into a couple of thousand quid?!

@martinscofield7477 Год назад

Great video, Ben. You are a great runner, far better than me and I don’t know if I should offer my opinion at all! I have done UTMB a few times and I think perhaps you are carrying too much stuff! Have you tried running with it all? Obviously you need all the mandatory kit, but I do think you need to look at all the extra stuff! Is it not possible to film just with the Gopro and a spare battery and leave the grip? There are several items I would change in fact. That shaker thing is massive, better with a collapsible silicon doggy water bowl for food, for example. If you are interested, I could comment on them. Just my opinion though!

@brtarr Год назад

Agree, drop the shaker & bring something simple.

@BenParkes Год назад

Yes I may well drop things en route if they aren’t working. I know making shakes as we go will help get calories in and need a shaker for that. There is never a perfect solution and agree there is a lot. I have no crew, so want to start with everything just in case.

@chrisvanbuggenum871 Год назад

Arj Barker is my favourite stand up comedian of all time.

@sb-vy8cw Год назад

Hi Ben great video and good luck with the race. Question - why do you dislike running with a bladder? And what is your preferred approach to hydration and why?

@rgweaver Год назад

I was wondering the same thing! I prefer a bladder because I like the weight on my back instead of bouncing on the front. Obviously I can't answer for Ben, but a big drawback to bladders is that they're harder to quickly refill at aid stations.

@BenParkes Год назад

A faff to fill up and you never really know how much liquid you have left. Bottles are just easier and find they bounce around less. Everyone is different though, no right/wrong answer!

@00Sparkie00 Год назад

Wow, it's a lot of stuff all together to be carrying around! Best of luck to you both

@waiwai3180 Год назад

No need for passport daring the race. You do need it for gear check before the race. Do the gear early or you will wait in a long line. Have you weight the gear without water?
