😂😂 drop down!! Loved the bloopers but the rest is really really interesting actually, and quite motivating as well!! So looking forward to watching you smash your Alps 100!! Sending you and beautiful Carla my sincerest CONGRATULATIONS and all my very very best wishes for a long and happy life together ❤💍❤
Your training in the Swiss Alps looks incredible, Ben! The mix of tough climbs, strength work, and the scenic views of Scotland is just epic. Also, love seeing you and your fiancé making the most of your time together, even with the midges. Best of luck with the final preparations - can't wait to see how it all turns out!
@@MihaiGoRunning thanks Mihai! Just about recovered from the midges 😅 Was pleased to get in some mountain runs with the training this time, should definitely help come race day. Thanks for watching 🙏
23:33 “Before I drop down…” - Perfect timing! 😂😂
😅 I think the camera and tripod just knew
Great as always Ben. Bring your suntan lotion for Switzerland, it's gonna be a hot one!
Thanks Benny. Will certainly pack the sun cream and Sahara cap 😅 Hope the last bit of your training is going well
@@timeonfeet yes, and take an extra soft flask in your race bag.
@@bennyytube certainly will do! Always good to have a spare one in case it's hot
Brilliant video. So much in it. We're on a 20 min daily hybrid S&C programme given by our movement specialist. Big gains hopefully. Congratulations on the engagement. You're made for each other. I see you've joined the Coros revolution. I just love the platform and data, although not collecting elevation at all. Final point. Regarding your microphone. It's time we invested. Was the one you spoke into at Dirchling the same one as at Loch Lomond, with the furry thing removed? Or are they two different apparati? Enjoy the rest of your well earned holiday.
Thanks both. It's been a lot of trial and error for me with S&C but definitely making progress and finding a program I'm pretty happy with. Love Coros, I've been using them a while now and although the display isn't as fancy as Garmin I really like the regular firmware updates and the crazy battery life and workouts creator. Yes I got the mic recently, it's one that plugs into my phone but can't be used with gopro. It's the same mic just with different covers. I'll see if I can find the name - still playing around with it but seems to be good so far
@@tworunningbrooms HMKCH Wireless Mic was the name of it. I got it from Amazon.
@timeonfeet ah thanks. So not Go Pro compatible? We don't record on our phones. The search, as they say on The Apprentice, continues.
@@tworunningbrooms I think it might be gopro compatable if you get what's called a media mod but on the GoPro hero 10 which is what I've got there no Bluetooth connectivity for mics. If you've got a newer gopro it might do it but would need to see on the spec
@timeonfeet ah thanks we have the 12 so should be. I'll pass on to Dawn to check out. My area of expertise is 1986 and beyond 😉
Ben, you'll to do so well at the Swiss Alps 100. We look forward to seeing you at the race weekend.
Thanks, looking forward to getting out there and enjoying the mountains. See you soon!
Nice one Ben. Training looks like it’s going well 💪 🏃🏻♂️ Some familiar spots there. Think I filmed a shoe review in a spot you were training for my next video 😂 All the best
Thanks Aaron 😀 Oh cool, what shoe did you review? Love that spot at Ditchling Beacon and all the little trails that lead off it, always discovering new bits
We know you went to Gregg's really, Ben 😂 That stock footage of you in the gym was pretty convincing though...! Good work, finding a mobility routine you can stick to. I get bored after about a week usually. Good luck for race day 👍
OK I admit it, the gym video was AI generated 😅 Perfect placement of that Greggs next to a gym for refuelling! I used to really not want to do Mobility but I mostly do it in front of the TV so it doesn't feel like it's too much extra hassle.
😂
What a great video, you two are some crazy runners for the amount of ultras you do 😅 it's great to find your channel through film my run 🎉🎉🎉
@@raleyadventures thanks! Have just discovered your channel through Film My Run too, great stuff 👍
A sensible well balanced & presented review !
Thanks!
I've walked that loop on many occasions, starting at the greenock White House and ending there. There is a café at Loch Tom lovely
Lovely loop, we're actually up in Scotland again at the moment so may well go back and do it again. Good to hear about the cafe, may well check it out
Too bad you guys don’t have Tater Boost in the UK, yet. Thanks for the video
Just had a look at it, wish we did have it here!
Love it!!
Thanks 😀
❤
🙏
Hoka has lost that awesome cushioning. I'm moving to Topo.
I've heard the cushioning on the new Speedgoat 6 is a bit dull and doesn't have much energy return too
Are there toilets at the start?!
There were the year I did it, they had porta loos
This is really really good.
@@jamesm6830 thanks James
Massive congratulations on the qualification. You'll make a superb coach with your knowledge and ability to communicate. And very wise to start small and informally with friends.
Thanks both 😀 Yes I thought it would be a good idea just to build up experience first with no pressure and then just see where it goes from there. Learning a lot as I go which has been great
Fantastic video, great job putting it together. Backyards are exploding in the UK at the moment, nice to see how they're going now that the weather has turned.
Thanks 🙏 This event has just had a summer edition too so nice to see people doing it in warmer conditions too! Hoping to go back and do another backyard at some point, pretty cool format
Sounds like the team relay race was a great event and congrats on getting your ultra coaching qualification, that's awesome Ben! Best of luck for the upcoming challenge, better get some pole practice in indeed 😝
Thanks Chloe, it was such a good event, bit of a shock to the system trying to run that fast on the trails, I'm usually plodding for a long time and eating a picnic on the way 😅
Congrats on the running qualification Ben! Looking forward to hearing all about the Swiss 100. Enjoy the training!
Thanks Geoffrey, hope all's going good with you
Thank you and we very much look forward to see you Ben and Carla at our race in a few weeks.
Thanks for inviting us out and look forward to seeing you there ⛰️😀
Well done Ben on the coaching qualification! I've been looking at the Swiss Alps Ultra as well! My brother has recently moved out there and it's the first thing he told me about. I'm actually going out in a few weeks to see him and will definitely be spending some time in the mountains. All the best with the race, I'm keen to see the video!
Thanks Francois. I've never run out there myself, but looks amazing, should be a great event. Enjoy your time in the mountains, some big climbs out that way 🤓
Look forward to having you out here mate! Congrats on the coaching, see you soon!
Cheers Benny! Look forward to coming out there. Great place for a race 😀
Just discovered your channel and really enjoying it. I'm also from Brighton, just getting into ultrarunning. I'm running half of the south coast ultra in september as my first event. Race in Switzerland looks amazing!
Thanks James, great to hear you're enjoying the channel. Hope all goes well for the rest of your training for the South Coast Ultra and I'll probably bump into you on the South Downs at some point!
Congratulations on achieving your coaching qualification, I think you’ll make a great coach. Switzerland sounds like it’s going to be amazing, can wait to see the pictures/video from that one, I would be the same as Carla those suspension bridges look huge 😬, have a great time both of you 👍
@@garethjones4297 Thanks Gareth! Not sure I'll be running over those suspension bridges, might have to walk, wouldn't want them to start rocking 😅 Hope all's going good with you
Nice one Ben 🙌 Best of luck with the coaching and also the race in Switzerland 🇨🇭
Cheers Aaron, really looking forward to it 🤓 hope all's going good with you
You have had a busy month! Congratulations on the coaching qualification.
Thanks Mark, any excuse to get out on the South Downs!
Swiss Alps is going to be epic!!! Love the sound of Carla's race too. I am sure you guys are going to have a wicked time! 😎🤘
Cheers Ben, can't wait to get out there this summer and see what it's like, views look stunning and people racing from all over the world so will be cool to meet everyone 👌
Great video. Got my first 100 miler in September so it was good to watch your journey and get a feel for what i might expect on the day. Cheers 👍🏻
Thanks Ian. Best of luck with the rest of your training and hope all goes well on race day
Absolutely loved watching this 😊
Thanks for watching Conrad, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Watching you break down your kit for the UTS 100K was like diving into a treasure trove of ultra-preparedness, Ben, hehe! It's just like that saying, "Failing to prepare is like preparing to fail."
Thanks Mihai! Always like getting prepared and ready for an ultra with a kit and Clothing Breakdown 😉
Ben what shoes would you recommend for this course? Could road shoes be used?
It's very much down to personal preference. I saw several people wearing road shoes in the winter edition I did but I went for trail for a bit more protection from the stones and also to help with the bits of mud there were. Can't imagine there'll be much mud if any in the summer edition though
Awesome performance Ben and massive congratulations. I am doing the Snowdon trail marathon in July and I found your video very instructive. Regarding nutrition, i experimented with carrying more water - 2 litres - at last weekend's Uk ultra South Downs 50k. Aim to repeat this at Snowdon as could be hot and exposed. It will be my first mountain marathon and i fully expect also to be taking on more food than usual. I note how technical the Pyg track is. Later in my marathon we go up there to the finger post so i expect to walk that! Have been doing hill repeats accumulating a lot of gain over a short distance to try and prepare for Snowdon. We come down the Llanberis path which looks easier though steep at the top. Thanks for the tip about how wet some of the terrain could be. I will take spare socks! Excellent video and well done Ben.
Glad you found the video useful and all the best for the Snowdon marathon next month! The top of the Pyg track had some pretty technical bits and was quite busy, Llanberis path less technical on the way down though there is a bit near the top that has scree which can be tricky if it's wet. Good to take a lot of water with you out there as it can be pretty hot and exposed. Enjoy it out there!
Amazing!! Great video. Thanks for sharing. 👍131
Thanks for watching 🙏
Well done, excellent effort :)
Thanks Paula 😃
Did the same thing turning 30. Turn 35 this summer... Time to bring back the tradition
It's a good way to have a bit of a running challenge. Good luck with 35 for 35 👍
Brilliant work Ben
Thanks James 👍
Infinity Bogs are a great band!
The best! Perfect soundtrack to any ultra 😃
