Hiking In Ponta Do Sol, Madeira - Two Short, Beautiful, Hilly Hikes!
Ponta Do Sol is a coastal municipality lying on the southwest coast of the island of Madeira. Said to be the hottest part of the island, it is practically sunny all year round and has many scenic beaches for tourists and locals alike to soak up some sunshine.
I visited Madeira in April 2024, and in between days of trail running decided to do some hiking. Hiking is a fantastic compliment for trail running and road running, as it allows your body to recover whilst you're still able to get some quality training in. It can also be great for building calf and quad strength sustainably.
I found two trails on the All Trails app and followed them for as long as I felt like it. The terrain was fai...

6 Hacks To Build A Strong Running Habit
I understand that you wanna celebrate your achievement I like to see people succeed That being said ., the video is useless for the common runner aspiring to reach those heights All of you are not elaborating on increase milage How do u increase it, listening to your body every single day with regard to it How to balance your speed workouts with increase milage . And more All of this points are not talk about .. U hadda come better than that It have men or females out here will take your info as it is and will burnout or get injured
I'm not going to go into every single point in one video on how to increase mileage safely etc. Maybe I'll make a video on that one day, but that information is literally a Google search/RUclips search away. Don't forget that I was an average runner who could barely run a sub 4 marathon before but I managed it. My hope with this video is to inspire runners that it can be done, and to then make it happen by whatever means.
Well done 🎊🎉
If you like videogames, check out the podcast "Fin du game" I don't really know what they're saying, but only because it's a videogame podcast, I'm keep listening it
Enjoy your videos. What program do you use to edit? Keep up the great work.
Thanks Tom. I use Premiere Pro by Adobe
Getting lost is my worst nightmare, hooefully this year is better as its going to be my first ultra
As a brit, how do you not know how to pronouce Thames? Great video, but that was grating every single time! :-)
This is also killing me. TAMES!
I suck. I'm not even British. What more can I say?
@@runningcafe1 Just jesting mate. Really enjoying your videos!
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
Monday - 8x800 track intervals 90 second rests (will shorten the rest time gradually) Tuesday - 1 hour easy run Wednesday - 1 hour easy run (4-5 strides at end) Thursday - Rest Friday - tempo 10k (45-50 min) Saturday - 90 minute easy long run Sunday - rest I’m on week 3 doing this training. It’s about 30 miles a week. Did a 5k this week 21:58. Hopefully I can get a sub 20 before end of year. 48 year old male. Personal best 20:10 in 2019
Bravo!!
What time did it start?
6am
Congrats on 100k steps! I just recently accomplished this and posted it on my channel as well!
Thanks. Congratulations, this is by no means an easy feat... Wouldn't rush to do it again other than when running an ultramarathon
I do have a suggestion to easily get the calories you need and if you absolutely cant eat another bite of food drink olive oil.Highest steps i ever walked in one day was 39,000 steps.My average was 20,000-25,000 a day.Had no intention of doing it and at the time i was having trouble staying asleep at the time and would wake up around 1 am -3 am and would go for a walk.I was eating at that time around 5000 calories and some days i just couldn’t eat anymore so olive oil was a good way to get calories i needed without feeling stuffed
That sounds gross but if you can stomach olive oil and need the calories then why not, whatever works! May have to give it a try...
respect for doing this in jeans
Not all heroes wear capes :)
Respect i did 75000 steps for 4 days each day. Oh men my feet were hurting 😂
That's a lot of steps! Wouldn't rush to do 100k again lol
Brilliant, very useful , thank you. Magnifique !
Merci :)
At 60k right now, you are my next target
Severely under-rated channel.
Merci!
My best pace that I can hold for a minute is 6:44 mile, but give me another year
That was a good run eh. That last 5k or so that loops around Tonbridge went on forever. I had a good run and came in 16th in around 5h14m.
Congratulations on a great performance and time. The last 5km seemed to go on forever for sure. All made up by the epic track finish
Beard on point 👌🏽 🧔🏽♂️
15 miles in 2 hours? Man, you were flying!
Unfortunately it cost me big time later on. All learning!
@@runningcafe1 Yup, so much learning for all of us. I had a much slower pace (at a different 100) and finished in 31:39, 20 minutes before the race course closed. Too much stress! Somewhere between your starting pace and mine is where I would like to be.
Looks as if you've been staying there many weeks, is it a training camp or something ? I know there are many of those over there, I'd be curious to get a feedback about them
I was there for a week in April as part of a solo trip. I didn't do any training camps. For trail runners, this is the best place I have come across so far other than Salzburg in Austria and perhaps the Lake/Peak district in the UK. Incredible terrain and really challenging
@@runningcafe1 OK, I've been considering a training camp in the UK in 2025, in order to improve my trail running skills, do tourism and level up my English all together, and I had no idea where the good spots are. So that's a start point, thanks Craig !
Great video and result! How did the technical parts compare to UTS? I’m not an fan of rocky, technical courses! Thanks
Thanks! The terrain was much easier than the terrain in UTS in my opinion. In the Mozart there are a few rocky sections but nothing too crazy, and also some dodgy bits regarding tree routes underneath your feet on some of the climbs but all fine
@@runningcafe1 sounds good then. Thanks for the reply 🙏 It’s on the maybe list for 2025!
New to running and I ran my second half marathon and I didn't stop jogging yet I still finished 1 hr55mins. Do I need to sprint most of it?
It depends on what time you want to get, your training, race day nutrition etc. If you are happy with a 1h 55m finish but you want to get faster perhaps try training more and mixing up the training runs e.g., hill sprints, more elevation, intervals, tempo runs
Gorgeous hike my friend, shots and music fits so nicely together! Love it
Scafell Pike in the dark is just ludicrous! At the Snowdon summit (never call it "Mount" Snowdon - the locals hate that!) I would have gone past them all and explained you are on the clock for the challenge. I've done that before and everyone is cool with it. You are literally a few seconds and nobody will mind that. Great effort.
Great video
why do brits always use miles??
Not all of us use miles. Most runners I know measure in km. I imagine it's because we drive with miles per hour speedometers in our cars and all of the road signs are marked by mile distances.
@@runningcafe1 learned something new sir!! I didn't realize Brits use mph when driving. I am in Canada we use kph -- but most treadmills are in mph so thats where I get my mph experience =D
Great video. Congrats! Thanks for the motivation.
Thanks for watching!
Did you not have a gps route planned on strava, Komoot etc or a compass for Scarfell Pike ?. Its fairly easy with a compass, you just take note of the bearing once walking towards the trig and then reverse the bearing and follow that bearing back the opposite way. Either that or Komoot, Strava etc has an arrow in which direction you are walking, you just point the arrow in the direction of the planned route and walk towards it.
All things that I wish I knew and thought of at the time. Since this video, I've learnt a lot about navigation including compass skills and I now know there are many apps to help. I was just grateful to have made it out in one piece and able to learn my lesson. I hope this video helps others to understand the risks and to take mountains more seriously than I did.
Great video, thank you
Well done Craig, great video. I was some way behind you 131/164 must admit that I was forever looking down at the timing chip especially through the long grass sections. It was my first Ultra and not to be my last.
Well done mate, it was a really fun day and the weather was great. The long grassy section has got to be one of the dodgiest parts of an ultra I've done before. No idea if I was going to slip to the left or right at a moments notice, and I actually tripped over in a hole at one point and face planted. All part of the fun. Good luck for your future ultras.
Well done mate. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this
Glad you enjoyed it
For such mixed terrain what sort of shoes did you wear for that? Enjoy your videos BTW!
Thanks! I just used my Hoka Speedgoat 5s which are my general trail all rounder. They were fine for the race but the muddy section would be a problem for any shoes, unless you wore some with aggressive tread/lugs but I don't think that would have been sensible given the mainly dry conditions.
I was wondering how you managed to get the entire race into a 7 minute video. The battery issue explains it! Excellent running, Craig 👍🏻🏃♂️
I'd like to say it's the pesky battery life of a Go Pro camera, but it was my professionalism for not bringing a spare! Thanks Mark
Top running Craig! I heard great things about the race. Looks like a decent event. Great to finish in the track. That Mike guys a bit of a hunk 🤣 keep the great content coming mate! 😎🤘
Cheers Ben, congrats on your 100 miler recently. Impressive stuff mate. Yes, great to have a cameo from Mike in the video!
Hi Craig I found I believe your chip well before the first aid station ,around just past the Medway bridge section? I forgot to hand it in at the first aid station but handed it into the 2nd one I believe and if it was yours then glad it got to you but if not I hope that person got it 👌 well done on your run and video 🤓👍
You are a legend for handing the chip in, whether it was mine or someone else's! Thank you Frank. Hope you had a good race if you ran it or if you were a volunteer. I literally didn't realise the chip was gone until the race organisers told me. Cheers mate, what you did was very kind.
I was 10 minutes behind you at the finish m8 👌
Nice vid! I am a triathlete so get a lot of fitness from biking and swimming. For people like me, that do other endurance sports concurrently, I recommend focusing on quality runs and not junk miles. A couple of runs, either interval or tempo, with a slightly longer run later in the week, will do the trick. This is because the main limiter, in my case, is not my engine, but rather my leg strength. Another thing I thought I would mention is flexibility and range of motion in hip flexors etc. This is massive in elite runners and something that makes a huge difference in performance. Just look at the stride length and ease of Mo Farah or any other pro.
Great effort. It was deceivingly hot out there
Congratulations on your time, 5th place everybody. It was very hot indeed
Well done Craig 😊. For a moment I thought a bearded guy had hacked your channel 😂
Thanks Conrad! Hope you've been doing well? Did you do your ultra in the end, have any booked? Haha, the bearded bandit strikes again. Thought I'd try the rugged look for a while, not sure I can pull it off....
@@runningcafe1 I did! London to Brighton 100k last Saturday. Ended up going 105k. Was MILES harder than I expected and took me 16h40 but I did it and was super proud of myself. It was such a long way tho!
@@runningcafe1 Thames path 100k booked for September 👍
Well done
Bunch of absolute half wits! Attempting that climb in the pitch black completely unprepared and under skilled! But you got loads of likes and lolz on your social media though and that’s ultimately all that matters eh!
Would you recommend this as the best route for first timers? I did the Snowdon Ranger path last week and loved it. I want to do Scafell Pike next year. Nice scenery is a must, I wouldn’t want to do a route that is not so interesting like the Snowdon Llanberis path. I would appreciate your recommendation. Thank you!
Hey, I've only ever done Scafell Pike via this route so I unfortunately can't comment. I do think that the scenery is lovely and it's a good challenge personally. Good luck!
Wanting to climb England's beast this year or next. Which part of the lake district is it at?
Just google maps it and you'll be able to find the exact location. It's fairly remote though, mobile phone coverage was non existent for me and I was on Virgin Media
Congrats mate 👊💪
Niiiice! Thx! denk dir falls das Neis👏👏👏🙌
Hi, well done firstly.... im driving from Chesterfield Derbyshire, in a few weeks time im 48 & im wanting to do the 3 peaks but not in 24 hours lol. Anyway how much is the carpark ?
Thank you. The car parks can be busy. Fortunately, there's lots of space at the Llanberris village for Snowdon and I've never struggled to find one. However, I'd recommend getting to Scafell Pike early just in case. Never struggled to find a space at the Ben Nevis visitor centre either. If you do them on weekdays, it's highly likely you'll have a better chance at getting a spot if you go a bit later in the day. Good luck
@runningcafe1 how much is the carpark and can you over night park ?
@@hills_wild_camping There were definitely campervans parked overnight so I'm sure that's fine. I can't remember price wise, from memory I didn't pay but maybe I'm not remembering correctly. Perhaps have a look online.
Some great tips. Thank you!
