Jeff, you have a way about your videos that encompass the challenges, the fun, and the adventure in a seemingly fun video! Thanks for always sharing your journey
Thank you for another great film, Jeff and Audrée! I always love seeing the race from both of your perspectives. And running on that cut toe - Audrée is a rock star!
I love running and watch films and documentary about running… but I am mad with you because after discovering yours it is impossibile to watch the other. Your Pov from inside, the sound of your steps, the emotional views and the tecnical explanation, the smile and the strenght of Audree (I also run with my wife), your wanderful soundtrack, the race result… immense!!
Nice route, especially the last section down into Naramata. We've hiked much of that trail (similar time of year, too) and it was surprisingly rough. You make it look easy! It looks like more of the burned trees have fallen or been cleared since we were there in 2009 so the views are a lot better. Fun to recognize some of the trail!
Hey @JeffPelletier,Im watchin your channel,nice work from you and Audrey.Come to Serbia,we have some really beautifull trails and ultras.God bless you and cheers from Serbia.Vladimir.🙂
Love watching your race videos while snacking on potato chips! While I watch your videos I am inspired to get off the couch, but once your videos end those crazy thoughts dissipate and all I’m left with is the feeling of enjoyment from watching your adventures!
Thank you for highlighting a BC race. I love having the two perspectives and it provided a great glimpse into the varied terrain. I'm seriously considering this one for 2024, just hoping we don't have an early May heat wave!!
Really great fun looking run @JeffPelletier. You both looked like you enjoyed it and a great little movie for my commute. Trying to get back after it after illness this help with motivation!!!!
with a couple more pickles, you couldve made top 10. Only in trail running can you tell a female co-worker, "you look well-tanned" and not get called into HR.
Hi Jeff, great video. Hoping to enter my first 50k in 2024 - your videos are very inspiring! Have you listened to the recent SWAP podcast (last week, I think) on exogenous ketones? Curious to know your opinion on whether they give any performance benefit if consumed before or during exercise.
My understanding is that the fires were all further north around Kelowna, so the course was spared, although I could be wrong. There was though a fire along the first section of the course something like 15 years ago.
Do they charge entrance fees in BC? I was shocked to learn that running a 100+ km race in Nova Scotia typically costs $300 mandatory "donation" 🤬 elitists.
Yes, of course. These races are a business and a full time job for the team who runs them. There are costs for permits, insurance, staff, and all of the supplies. I believe this one costs about $200 CAD.
@@JeffPelletier a business? What kind of business uses volunteer labour? I thought this was a community. As a low income runner I could never come up with an extra $200 or $300, most of us are having a hard enough time affording food. I guess that means I can't be part of this upper class running community. Honestly I don't need anyone to tell me when to run but I do feel very sad that I'll miss out on meeting all the other runners.
I hear you, racing is unfortunately an expensive part of our sport. It would be even more so without volunteers. There are actually a few races that are run as non-profits, like the Kneeknacker 50k here in Vancouver, but it still costs $175.
