For a detailed, written account of my experience, check out my blog post here: www.runningcafe.online/post/my-experience-running-race-to-the-stones-100km All of the gear I use for running, and to make my videos, is linked in the description. 👟 🎥
I ran RTTS in 2023 as well. You were SSOO much faster than me. After I left the last aid station it was dark and then the thick fog came it where you could only see 5ft in front of you. So it's nice to see the last few km that I couldn't see! :)
So good to watch this, thanks for filming. Had Mozart 100 just prior and am ALSO super sick right now with RTTS in a week, so watching this with our almost identical situation is reassuring! Great video
Thanks so much mate! I was a bit disappointed with my time to be honest, but given the 3 week break I think it's fine haha. Yes, a rest is a good idea maybe! I saw you at the start, getting the shots in! Nice little cameo there 😂 I made one in your video too 😂
Hi Craig, I really like the positive vibe of your videos, you always manage to find something positive even if going gets tough. Onwards and upwards! Keep on running! Really great run.
lovely Craig, lovely! Brutal conditions out there last weekend that's for sure. Glad you overall enjoyed it though, must have been nice running with your bro until he took off ahead of you, rude 😂) I found the underfoot conditions really tough but overall enjoyed it (could have done without the biblical rain tho!). Hope you're recovering well and starting to feel a bit better?
Thanks Nic!! I know, how rude of my brother to have a surge ahead like that 🤣 The conditions were pretty tough going in sections and the weather didn't make things any easier. Glad you enjoyed it overall! Yeah, recovered well and feeling much better thank you ☺️
@@runningcafe1 I'm planning on drinking 1 litre every hour, added to that there'll be sodium tablets and electrolytes. From your experience, do you think that's enough. Some context: No cutoff time so I'll be going slow at 7.30- 8 mins per km. Mostly flat road. Will walk the uphills. It's on October so it won't be very warm. I'm over 100kg, so I sweat a good bit. Do you think (roughly) that 1 litre per hour would be enough, with salt tabs added in?? Thanks
@@na-dk9vm Yes you have a good race strategy you will be fine. I just try to get 100 calories in every hour at the least, and drink a lot. Good luck with your race! What one is it? Let me know how it goes
@@runningcafe1 it's just a 100km I'm running for charity, it's not an official race. I plan each hour to take 1 litre of water, with a sodium tablet, and 90gra.s of carbs in a Gel
@@danwright7779 I don't have a training plan to share, I didn't use one. Everyone is different, but I'd recommend high volume training done at a low intensity for an ultra like this
