I watched this video several times to prepare for the A100 this year, Adam - thanks for putting so much effort into it, and congratulations on the race!
Have recce'd some of this route in preparation for the race this Saturday, but this video is a big help and motivator for it. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Excellent video. I watched this a few times before running the A100 myself this weekend. Only had a goal of completing within the cut-off but managed it in just over 21.5 hrs. I had just got back to Goring from leg 2 as it was getting dark so leg 3 was just this odd double-track and grass paths that went on for ever before getting to Chain Hill turn around point.
Not sure if I would have the energy to film and run. Too much extra stuff to think about and faff about with. Thanks for taking us along with you though and well done 👍 amazing effort
Yeah it is a faff but awesome recording the memory. Would like to run my winter race with it but go pro microphone 🎤 doesn’t like water 💦- thanks for watching
Just stumbled across this. You must have been 1 step ahead of the rain cloud the whole way. I have never been so wet in my life on the same race. lol. Awesome job recording it and finishing in a great time. Of all the centurion races, i will never forget this one.
Well done fella… just finished the 2021 A100 this weekend… my first 100 :) aimed for sub 24, finished in 22:55 :) got sting by a wasp lol legs stopped running at 88 miles so walked it home… watched this vid before going.. had to watch it again afterwards to bring back those feelings lol… you seemed to run in to the finish from the opposite side to me lol… once again, well done loved the vid :)
@@ultrarunneradam Definitely! I've not been avoiding it, just need to find another one (or come back and beat my 23:26 time on that one!). Got my eyes set on the Bob Graham Round for next year as my big thing though, and the CCC, so maybe after that.
thank you for taking the time to reply, gonna train for 24 weeks ish for sub 9 hours (50miles by myself) and if that goes ok ill try to find a race in these Covid Days, keep makin videos!
Great work Adam, I saw you a couple of times and you were flying mate! I've only just started to bring myself back into catching up with running stuff, I had a disaster of a race and have really been beating myself up about it. I finished Leg 1 around 20mins ahead of schedule, Leg 2 went well then a couple of miles before coming into Goring (it was pouring down for me by then) I had my head down and completely missed a turning, by the time I'd realised and finally got back on track I found that I'd doubled-back on myself so ran most of the section from the CP into Goring twice! Added about an hour which really dropped my head as I was hoping to do my first sub-24. I then spent way too much time sulking in Goring as I knew I wasn't going to do sub-24, seriously considered dropping out but finally went out for Leg 3, I found this the hardest Leg as it was so muddy and dark by then. Leg 4 was ok apart from another wrong turn which cost about 20 mins (I need more experience and to download the GPX files!). All in all I took 27 hrs! Personally I don't think I had a sub-24 in me anyway, Leg 3 was slow for me. I reckon without the errors etc. I could've been just under 25hrs. The thought of a 19 hrs mate is amazing, so pleased for you. I just need to catch up with your other videos now to get back my lost mojo... 👍
Ah sorry to hear you made a few wrong turns. I made 1 which may or may not have cost me time. I didn’t run with nav on but when I got lost it saved my race. It’s good to have it as a back up in any race. Funny you see it as a shocker as I totally respect runner who spend time out there for whatever reason. Takes a lot of guts to keep going when the chips are down so try to get into that mind set. Not all races go well. Ccc for me was a shocker and that was one of my dream races. It was good to see you out there. Have you signed up for anything yet?
Congratulations on a fantastic race and time! Sub 20 wow! Fabulous video and thank you for filming and sharing. Sounds like your hip didn't get worse as the race progressed - that's amazing. I had to drop out of my 1st ultra the Yeti 100 miler in Virginia, USA at mile 71 because of a hip injury. We also had to battle torrential rain the first 12 hours that trashed our feet. Subscribed and looking forward to more great content.
Thanks for taking us with you on the journey. What a fun-looking course, nice combo of road and trail. And you did it so fast! How many runners were in the event? I was impressed how you seems to always be near another runner. Great video, thank you!!!
Thanks Wes. Not a big event - 200. Less due to covid. Wasn’t the most exciting race but fast. Idea is to run a sub 18 100 miler to qualify for races like spartathlon.
@@ultrarunneradam Thanks, didnt realise they had a recipe. Ill go take a look. I did experiment and just added some Soy sauce, honey & lime zest and tasted pretty good. Wrapped them in some sushi nori as well
Rice eggs bacon - almost like a risotto but drier - lots of salt. Worked well. Have you tried to cook some? Mountain fuel have a recipe on their website I think 🤔
@@ultrarunneradam that's awesome thankyou. I haven't as yet but ilk look on the website also 👍. I have a 100 coming up but it's a small event and although they can cater for runners at the aid stations I feel if I can self support as much as possible it will reduce the demand on the event. I'll give them a go thank you 👍👍👍
I checked your channel and subscribed - if you like mine sub me! Keep going with the channel and try and learn a new trick each time you post. Main thing is you enjoy doing it - everything else will follow.
@@ultrarunneradam thank you I saw and I have subscribed and am learning, I also invested in a go pro so I can time lapse my ultras and be able to share them, but keep up the great work
@@aleccampbell3890good investment- I have a go pro 7 - pretty good but battry drains. I film at 2.7k 30fps as it last longer on memory - gonna try 4k 30fps and see what happpens - last thing you want is it to run out before end. I have 4 batteries too! look forward to seeing your progress 😁
@@ultrarunneradam thank you, I have a gopro hero 5 session, I have final exams now until early to mid November so my next video can be expected between the 15th to 20th of November:)) then should be uploading weekly :)
@@ultrarunneradam Might try them myself all the same. Am quite a dab-hand at protein balls (banana, oats n various other ingredients), but haven't really tried rice.
I need to work in my accents... I thought you were saying rice BOWLS in the lead up video, and I couldn't imagine you eating rice with a spoon as you ran! 😂
