Heel up quick Rob and kudos for getting on the start line and as far as you did, there's always next year! Good luck for the next race!
Speedy recovery Rob
Great video and the very best of luck to all that is running arc. Would be great to see all this packed up in your vest. I’ll be dot watching once we get some of your numbers
Thanks Tom. I'll take a picture when it is packed in my vest, although I did post one on my social media accounts last weekend. Bib No. 427 for the dot watchers. 🙂 Cheers Rob
Best of luck. Im Doing the 100 wave 2 👍 . See you at the start.
@@UltraRunnerMark Nice one Mark, see you there.
Good luck, good video, I'm attempting the 50! Nice to hear your thoughts on the kit list are sumilar to mine!
@@simonseas Good luck to you too Simon. Hope the video was useful. Thanks
See you there Rob!! What did your pack weight come to?
Yes, see you there. :-) I haven't weighed my pack, but it is defintely not light, even with the bare minimum.
Rob check your warm base layers that they comply as the rules have changed since last year the base layers must be 180g medium and the Montane Dart Lite long sleeve tops (I was originally planning to use) no longer comply
They won't weigh them
@the_southcoast_runner I suspect not but I have done (non UTMB) events where they have weighed some kit and I would hate the stress of worrying if my kit would pass the kit check especially knowing it does not meet the spec
Hi Tom, The kit list says that if the tops are not 180g, they must be paired with a wind proof jacket wit hDWR protection, so i have one of these to tick off that requirement. Thanks mate.
Good luck Rob I am out due to injury but hope to be back for 26 - have an amazing time!
@@TomMorgan1066 Thank you Tom. Sorry to hear you are injured, wishing you a speedy recovery.
See you at the start Rob, and maybe near the finish as our bibs are only 20 apart, so UTMB thinks we will pace pretty similarly ;=) Just a note about the Emergency 800Kcal, this can not be consumed (unless you have DNF'd) so I went for 2 x B&M Flapjacks these were just £0.38p ea and only weigh 110g.
@@martinweston8147 Thanks Martin, good to note, not that I plan on eating it, but you never know. I am sure we will share some miles on the coast path. Looking forward to the grind. 😊
Good luck Rob, see you on the coach :)
@@nigelb1851 See you on the coach mate, it will be fun!
@@robsbeenrunning wet fun, what's not to like? forecasts can change, but don't think we'll be as lucky as last year.
Good luck in the 100 Rob. I’m down for the 50 😬
@@philipwilliams7650 Good luck to you too Phil. 👍
Nice update Rob, glad its all going well for you so far, hope the family is doing good
Thank you mate. Hope you are keeping well.
Hi Rob. good kit run down. I'm doing the 25 this year. (having never done more than a half marathon thought it best to start a little easier. 50 or 100 next year) Was just getting my kit together abd doing a check, so good to see I'm not the only one. I've also been filming my prep and training, but planning to publish after the race, althought I was thinking, and probably will do a similar vid on to this over the next day or two. As an aside, does your bivvi come with a whistle? when I opened mine, there was one inside, bonus! 😁 Good luck with the 50. Hope to see you at the finish. Andy
Hi Andy, Good luck with the 25, it should be a good race. Regarding the bivvy bag, I think it does come with a whilst, but I never rely on those free whistles, I brought myself a couple of whistles from Amazon some time ago. I am doing the 100 this year, I did the 50 last year. I might see you at the end though, depends on how long it takes me. Ha ha. Thanks Rob
@@robsbeenrunning Wow, even more good wishes on the 100. I look forward to seeing you come in.
@@owtnabowtrunning1954 Thanks Andy. See you there.
Are you doing the 100 this year Rob ?
Hi Chris, Yes I am doing the 100. What about you?
@ yes I am also on the 100 👍🏻
Happy Christmas rob
Woohoo cheers mate. Can't believe I won. Merry Christmas mate.
@@the_southcoast_runner Congratulations mate. Send your name, address and contact number to my email: rob.247.brown@gmail.com and I'll send out the headlamp on the 27th Dec. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. 🎄🍺
@robsbeenrunning perfect I will do 😁😁
Merry Christmas Rob. 🎅🎄 Congrats to the como winner! 😎🤘
@@BenNotley Merry Christmas Ben. All the best mate 🎄👍
Xodus 2 was fantastic long run shoe, only problem was grip on wet rocks - terrible... in ver 4 saucony is doing vibram which is great but now only hope they make midsole somhow similar to ver 2 , if that will be the case then will be getting pair, for now enjoying asics trabuco max - excellent grip, fantastic midsole but a bit to hot upper ...
Good work Rob. I’m doing the run in 2025. Good to get an insight. Cheers bud, happy running
Please send me a fenix for Christmas ⛄️
Please send me a Fenix for Christmas Rob! All the best to you and your family for Christmas, and good luck for the Arc in January, it looks like you have some great events lined up for the first half of the year 😀
Thanks John and Happy Christmas to you and your family too. Hope.to see you at an event next year mate. 👍
Please send me a fenix for Christmas!!! 🙏 Arc 100 is an awesome race!!! Would love to go back but it always falls on my daughters birthday 🤦🏼♂️ I’ve got the lap and 7 valleys confirmed and a few more to enter after Christmas (and when the other half is out 😂)
Nice races Rob, and good luck explaining away the other races to your better half 😂. Thanks for watching.👍
Please send me a Fenix for Christmas. Good luck at the Arc Rob 👍
Thanks Matt.
Please send me a Fenix for Christmas Got the Arc 50 this year, the lap, clockwise and anti clockwise, the wall and the 7 Valleys Ultra, might do Cheviot Goat, depends if I get in Spine Sprint (Winter). Good luck on the Arc 100
Wow, great race calendar Mile. Best of luck with those next year. Thanks for watching. 👍
Please send me a Fenix for Christmas! will come in handy on my 18hrs+ of darkness in the Arc 😮
@@martinweston8147 It will indeed Martin, see you there. Thanks for watching mate 👍
Good luck in the ARC Rob, I’m not there next time but I’ll be following your dot! Please send me a fenix for Christmas 🎅
@@AdamReal-y4w thanks Adam. 👍
Please send me a Fenix for Christmas Some fantastic races lined up there Rob. The Arc 100 will be awesome and will be interesting to see how it pans out this year under the UTMB banner. Living down in Cornwall, the arc route is on my doorstep and the coverack to lands end stretch is just an awesome section. Wish you the best of luck for 2025 💪
@@richmckinley8866 Thanks Rich. I enjoyed the 50, the 100 will be an experience for sure 😀 Thanks for watching mate.
Please send me a fenix for Xmas. 🎉 Sounds like a good plan for 2025 fingers crossed for utmb. Iv got the lap in may Lakeland 100 in July and 7 valleys in September. Got afew little races in between aswell.
The lap is a great race Mark and the Lakeland 100 will be brutal but amazing. Good luck and thanks for watching.👍
@robsbeenrunning I did Lakeland this year but had been injured on the build up so only got 2 weeks training in before hand. Made it to 90 miles so wanted to return ti close the loop. I'm gonna try for the big loop at utmb in 2026
Please send me a fenix for Christmas ? 🎅 Thanks Rob for the prize draw and vids . All the best for the Arc I’ve entered a couple of 30 mile LDWA challenge events in Surrey for Jan and Feb and centurions hundred hills in March. May do Guernsey road marathon in April and probably Thames Path 100 in May . See how the fitness goes before entering any more !
That's a nice race calendar Michael, I will take a look at a couple of those races. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment and enter the draw. 👍
Please send me a Fenix for Christmas! Good luck with the Arc! I'm hoping to do the Ridgeway Challenge as well.
Thanks Craig. Hope to see you at the Ridgeway.
Please send me a Fenix for Christmas I'm running the arc of attrition again, hopefully sub 30 this time, also running the serpent trail 50k, 13 Valleys, Cheviot Goat and prob a few others I've forgotten about 😂
Nice, see you at the Arc 😊. I loved the Serpent trail, one of my favourite races to date.
Please send me a fenix for Christmas Great videos Rob 👍 All the best for the Arc, we will be dot watching 🙂
@@amc8277 Thank you. Good luck in the prize draw.
Sounds like you've got a few decent races already in the calendar for 2025 Rob. I have a few buddies running the Arc too. Good luck to everyone in the Fenix giveaway. Send someone a Fenix for Christmas! 😎🤘
Hey Ben, Yeah trying to get some good races in for next year. Hope you are well, and thank you for watching mate. 👍
Please send me a Fenix for Christmas 🎅🙏
Thanks for the honest review. Much appreciated. The dehydration/ fueling issue is just so easy to mess up. I've done it myself, yet I find myself forgetting just how fundamental it is. All the best and perhaps see you on the start line in Jan 25 for the Arc 50!!
Hi Graham, Thanks for watching the video and I hope it helps you in your Arc journey. I will be toeing the line for the 100 mile race in Jan, but good luck to you with the 50. Thanks Rob
For me, with Roman feet, the toebox shape is an absolute NO.
I got interested in Inov-8 shoes when they improved the shape of the toebox. The Trailfly is my first shoe from them. Now it's my hardest and heaviest trail shoe in my rotation (the rubber weighs a tonne!). I think its weakest point is the midsole-dull EVA, very stiff. If it wasn't for the poor midsole, the shoe would be really good, as the outsole is amazing on soft surface. The upper does not get soaked with dirt and is perfectly designed for the wet stuff on dirt roads and trails. Another thing is the drop (too high for me), but I had known that before I bought them. All in all, not suitable for longer efforts (21k+) because of the midsole. My shoes were manufactured in August 2024 and the midsole side is not painted. Additionally, there's a minor aesthetic change to the toe bumper look.
The Salomon Thundercross are a bargain currently. Well worth having a look. Great shoe. Think u can get them for around 75 quid
agility peak 5 needs a size (or half size) larger than normal, i found
I second this. Go up 1 size for ultras
Well done Rob
I have the wk450 and love them!
Well done Rob see you at the Arc then
See you there Tom. 👍
Thanks for this, super helpful!
How on earth do you guard against these things? I’m yet to work out a successful nutrition strategy for longer ultras
HI Conrad, It can be tricky. I do not normally struggle so it goes to show that the slightest mistake can ruin your day. All trial and error. Thanks for watching. 👍
how does it compare to the g270? if you had those
Sorry, I never had the G270, only the G300 max. Thanks
Great review Rob. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. 😎🤘
I ran the Jurassic 100km and the Autumn 100 in the wide version. A great shoe. No blisters or hot spots. A bit slippy on the first leg of the A100 though!
@@SimonNewell-g6c Thanks for watching Simon. It's good to hear you experience in the shoe and congratulations on the A100 Jurassic 100km. Cheers Rob
Unlucky Rob . You were running so well and it’s a great race to have another crack 🏃🏻♂️👊
@@michaelbennett6778 Thanks Michael.
What was your electrolyte plan? If you were relying on aid station Tailwind, you may not have been getting enough electrolyes. Once your electrolyte balance tips over the edge, your gut won't be able to absorb water which it will just swill about in your belly, making you very nauseous. Might be worth experimenting with electrolyte intake?
@@nigelb1851 It was the same as normal. I always carry my own electrolyte tablets and Tailwind sachets, I think the aid station stuff is always too watery. It was a bizarre situation, never had a problem before. New challenge to resolve.
So unlucky to have those stomach issues Rob. Kudos for grinding it out back from the turn around point. 50 miles is still a super run. Rest, reset and go again! 😎🤘
Cheers Ben, very annoying as I don't normally struggle with GI issues, so a new one on me.
