    Thanks Matt! Compared to some of the upcoming races I will feature, this was on the lower end of technicality but you are right some sections were pretty tricky.

    Brilliant effort and achievement, all the pains and suffering still beats being stuck behind a desk in the office 💪 interested to see how you plan to "pace to last", I did my first ultra back in May, having the discipline to do 8 min per km sure felt weird for the first 10km, but it enabled me to do the last 5km sub 5 (albeit along a beach), look forward to your next video already! 🏁

    Lovely video as always! thank you! How do you pace yourself? Do you use HR or you go by feeling? If you use HR, do you try to stay in Z2 the whole way? I'm still trying to figure out the best strategy to pace myself in races

    Thanks a lot! I have been pretty bad at being disciplined in pacing myself but yes I use the HR. For those long races it is key to stay in zone 2. With a heavy pack the HR goes up fast even at a very slow pace, so it is not easy haha it’s all about practice 😄
