LAKES MOUNTAIN 40 | Trail Running In the Lake District 

Thanks Neil - seemed a shame to run as had to concentrate foot landing rather than look at the views

Thanks 🙏

Cheers jase - glad you enjoyed. The place is stunning which I said many a time 😂😂

Thanks Julie it was a beaut 👍👍👍 have you been to the lakes?

I went to the lakes a few years ago to climb Scafell pike - but sadly it was only an overnight visit.

Thanks mark it was a top race. Easy pace too so no suffering. Anyone with the right mindset could have done it! 👍👍

Thanks Randy! 😀😀

PS. I just put two and two together, but I recently heard the greatest interview with Angela White (aka the Running Granny) on Tough Girl Podcast and she was talking about the 62 summits run for her 62nd birthday! Incredible. Small world.

Any lakes race is amazing. It’s a must. Weather makes it so got to be lucky but a few attempts and you get a good one. Thanks for watching. The running granny - what a lady 👍👍👍

Thanks Darren 👍👍

Good fun - so lucky with the weather - different story if it rained 🌧

Thanks Ben - yes the running granny 👵 pretty awesome that 👍👍

@@ultrarunneradam monster effort! 💪🏻👵

Got locked in overnight! That’s another story…

👍👍🙏

So pleased to hear that! The ‘why’ I do this is exactly to help you with your ultra training and racing. How did you feel when past the 26.2 mark?

@@ultrarunneradam I felt surprisingly good - tailwind and ‘real’ food seems to be a good combo for me and I just took it steady. More the boredom in the end! Hopefully boredom won’t be an issue on the day.

@@danwilson3457 that’s good as sounds like you got nutrition about right. Boredom can set in but during the race you always meet people and chat. If you like a bit of social. Thing I find when training long runs Is the shorter ones fly by. Well done and keep the training consistent so you don’t overtrain and taper as always. Tailwind do caffeine mixes. Be careful as they can hit your gut especially towards last 1/3 of race.

@@ultrarunneradam cheers pal. Take care and keep up the great work on the channel.

I’d be out if an altra shoe 😂😂

Beautiful - like the alps but lower 😂 shame weather is so unpredictable

I was at my happiest dipping my cap in and getting drenched. Thanks Neil as always 👍👍

Great to hear that Chris - first 50 as well 👍👍 I’ll check it out. Just signed up to UTS in snowdonia for September so planning some training as we speak. I’m hoping to get a series out covering building a training plan. We shall see…

Top hospitality at the end for such a low key race - the beers were ice cold too! 👌👌👌

Not sure I understand. Speak to the organisers??

Your my No1 fan! 😃😀🏃😃

Gotta support the local legends mate! 😎🤘🏻

@@ultrarunneradam Don’t get too excited Adam, he’s EVERYONE’S number 1 fan 😏

Pretty good. A few ankle twist moments but that’s the terrain - my Ash same issue and ran in zero drop altras. My ankle still an issue so I trod lightly which caused some frustration

Thanks Jamie - the landscape is just incredible - get them from Xmiles - all passed their best before date but tasted fine 👍👍

@@ultrarunneradam Im racing down at the Lakeland 50 in July and cant wait to see whats on offer! Excellent will check it out! Thanks!!

Both 50 and 100 on my bucket list. Good luck 🤞

Thanks victor. I just checked it out. Now that’s a challenge. How long did it take you? I did LIAD in terrible weather back in 2017. Went down swirrals not striding - quicker as lots of people. It’s looked insane 😅😅

@@ultrarunneradam it took me 20 hours, my fastest time. There’s cut off time of 24 hours which put more pressure haha. I’m sure you can do it under 20 if the condition are favourable. I have already signed up to the event but it has been postponed due to Covid-19. As you said in your video, it’s a proper adventure and it starts with travelling up there haha.
