Alps 2 Ocean takes endurance athletes from the Base of Mount Cook to the ocean town of Oamaru. 2019 edition of the race. Jacqui Heads back to New Zealand in 2020 to have another crack. Filming and edition by Colin Clarke Media.
Congratulations free spirit, a great demonstration of endurance and synchronicity, what a natural way to heal than an ice cold bath it was really “brave”…. Cheers from NYC 🗽
Great video. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm training for my first marathon this upcoming Feb and vlogging about it. I love watching others also putting in work!
Great video diary Jacqui, the pain in your feet after the longest stage was crazy to see. I'm watching the 2020 edition for the first time from my lounge, well jumping on FB to get the updates. Friend of mine, Gareth Edmondston survived it last year and is smashing it out again this year. All you athletes are just inspiring. Thank you for spreading the word via this platform too.
Great! Congratulations!, for your video! In my 64yrs old and I run in official races Duv ultra marathons until now just for this year 2020 6000 kilometers!!! Plus 10000 km in practice
What a great achievement, you are really strong. I love New Zealand with my heart, it would be a dream to discover this landscape as a trail runner on such a great course. Your video simply makes you want more. You are great. I hope to finally be able to run in your country again in 2022. Best wishes from Germany
Wow! Made me cry seeing and watching your journey, it's amazing. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering. Here I am working towards my first 50K, thinking it's hard >.
Thanks for sharing, useful to see what I have to look forward to in a few weeks. That was quite a full pack you were carrying, were you unsupported? I'm running supported so hoping to get away with a Salomon Ultra 12 race vest.
congratulations. That is an amazing video. I am now going to have to look up races in New Zealand for future years. First Fat dog (Canada) 2020 and Lofoten ultra (Norway) 2021. I am not sure about a stage race, do you have any suggestions for a 100 miler or even 100 km?
Amazing how you all do those distances day after day, you lot have to a special kind of crazy.. I’m broke just trying to push through for my first 50k. Those medals should be the size of dinner plates 😜 well done all. Thanks for the video.
why do you have such a big backpack ? while the others are running quite lightpack, is there a reason ? :) thank for the answer. by the way, super inspiring video :)
If I may make a suggestion, you have endurance, ability, stregnth. Chi runners and barefoot runners run just as long if not longer bare feet. If can be done by changing a little of style smaller steps lighter on toes forefoot, like a cat. This will help with blisters aches and small nagging pains that come with running long distances. barefoot running on grass will help change posture. Pretend like stepping on pins and needles. Plus you'll be even more effective and efficient in my opinion. Thinking that's why the guy came in the middle of the night to give you in certs. If you don't believe me ask or watch someone faster. Thanks for listening. Positivity on races, good job,keep it up,good pace
