AUSTRIA'S TOUGHEST ULTRA RACE | Grossglockner Ultra Trail 2024 | GGUT 110 KM
My hardest race to date.
Around the Grossglockner massive.
The highest peak in Austria.
110 kilometers.
6,500 meters (21,000 feet) elevation gain and descent.
Check out my crazy adventure! It was a once in a lifetime experience and I still can't believe how long I was running.
Overall, it was a fantastic event. Great organization and execution!
Special thanks to the Bergrettung (mountain rescue) for making sure the trails were safe!
Congratulations to all the finishers of the GGUT and the other competitions!
Let me know if you have any questions or you also competed at the GGUT 2024! Love to catch up and share experiences.

New year, new Zegamas! The first version of the Nike Zoomx Zegama shoes have been one of my favorite trail shoes ever since they came out. They had a good fit with a bouncy Zoomx midsole, making them a fun trail shoe for the mountains. The only issue I had with them was the slippery outsole on wet terrain. When I heard that the Zegama 2 would get a Vibram outsole, I knew I had to get them and t...

Werden schwer und trocknen nicht. Im trockenen leichteren Gelände finde ich sie super. Hast du die Hoka Tecton X 2 probiert? Sind leicht, gut gedämpft und etwas breiter.

    Took me about 14h and change to finish the race and I don’t understand how can you say that it was really good job from organizers, it’s beyond me. Absolutely zero preparation for the weather, non of the aid stations had shelter, place to worm up or anything like that. I found a shelter at the 3rd aid station in some farmers garage and layered up, probably this move saved me. I saw people quitting and still had to wait outside in the rain for the buses for few hours. There was only one place in the second aid station to fill up the water ONE tap and probably 100 runners. St Gilet had no place to sit even :D. Lots of people take ultra running as a hype that was clear, vast majority was underprepared.

      Great job on your finish! Especially in that time and those conditions. 💪 Now that you mention it, i have to agree with you on the shelter situation. I had to take shelter in some storage room. It wasn’t even warm and almost no space to sit. Some Ultra races I’ve done in the past had tents with heating lamps, even when the weather was actually good. This would have helped a lot of runners that day. ( or all )

    Btw, have you considered resoling shoes? Some people have them resoled with a vibram zegama before they even break them in. Resoling can be a diy project for people with a belt sander (<30euros). If you have them done professionally, you're looking at <70eu. That should give 300km+ extra, with a superior outsole to begin with. So roughly 50% more shoelife, which pays off for a shoe that costs 160eu. The vibram zegama should perform a lot better over the whole life of the shoe too, with barely any wear until the end.

    Hi, Chris, what about salt. Did you ever had some troubles with your wades? Then some salt should help. Do you have some tips about consuming salt tablets during a race? Thank you in advance. 😀

    • @chris.schmied
      @chris.schmied 18 дней назад

      I don’t take salt tablets. I consume salt at the aid stations. Usually w some tomatoes or crackers.

    Do you recommend Underberg or Schafberg? At least the view from Schafberg looks better?

    • @chris.schmied
      @chris.schmied 2 месяца назад

      The view from Schafberg is amazing. I prefer Untersberg bec of the alpine feeling you get there. Less crowds and steeper climbs. Difficult choice.

    • @djgenetic111
      @djgenetic111 2 месяца назад

      Actually, it is hard to find a mountain in this region, where you don't have a great view. Untersberg is more difficult, you should have some mountain experience, because most routes have some exposed sections, and tourists tend to underestimate these routes. It is also physically more challenging than Schafberg, but there are also more difficult routes onto Schafberg. So, rule #1 is to really plan your hikes, because it can get quite tricky very fast. Also, do not trust single sources, because often different people will tell you very different things about any mountain 😉

      @@chris.schmied It was easier to get to Schafberg with public transport so I went there. However, the hike was mainly forest and car road. So the hike was not so great, but the view at the top was stunning.

    • @leonda4817
      @leonda4817 2 месяца назад

      @@chris.schmied Sorry to hear that! Well, i had to DNF too. In Tiefbrunnau, 32km. I missed the cutoff time, because the mud slowed me down way more than expected. I paced reasonably from the beginning (~6:00 min/km, flat terrain), then lost maybe 10min in the traffic jam in glasenbach, at the first singletrail. Beeing at the back of the pack, all the singletrails were a huge mess already. However I did fairly well and only after Hof-aidstation i realized that the cutoff could be dangerous to me. Filbling-mountain was a complete disaster then and i had huge problems with the mud. It was barely walkable and i lost so much time, despite feeling fit and motivated. The cold wind was really harsh and i have to admit that i was ill-prepared and freezing pretty badly. I slipped out in the mud and had a crazy calf-cramp! Then i arrived too late and got drawn out of the race. Half of the runners there where surprised they didn't even make the cutoff, because they felt they were doing ok for a 100k race. The cutoff was pretty unfair IMHO, as the 5 hours are reaonable for good conditions, but more on the tight side. Mid-pack runners who paced conservatively/reasonable in the beginning didn't make it that day. If anything, the cutoff in tiefbrunnau tempted people to rush the slippy downhill down. Anyways, it was a great experience nonetheless and i learned a lot! As a consequence, i bought some quality raingear from compressport and merino socks and longsleeves. I'm now motivated to train in the rain, which i tended to avoid previously. Another upside is, i get another year of good training before finishing my first 100km race. So i can aim for a good time, while having a good time ;) How was the race for you?

    Great video and great advice! For ultras in the Alps, especially longer races (200 miles) I very much prefer adjustable poles. Leki used to have a hiking/running pole that was called Leki MIcro Vario Carbon Black Series CLD (2019 version): it was foldable with only 207 grams per pole. Luckily I grabbed a few pairs when it got discontinued. At the time they also had the trail running Micro Trail Vario which was also foldable, adjustable but had the glove attachment system: it weighed only 195 grams. For some unknown reason Leki stopped offering trail running adjustable poles and the newer Carbon Black Series poles are heavier at 228 grams. For me, when you race over a lot of steep ground and longer distances adjustability is totally worth the extra weight which isn't that much if you have high-quality foldable poles.

    • @chris.schmied
      @chris.schmied 3 месяца назад

      I agree! I really enjoy my adjustable poles. (Which i rarely use cause I can’t put them on my vest) I mostly use them for long hikes. The ones from Leki you got sound like a good choice.

    Thoughts on these as a trail hiker for 5-12 mile rocky and rooty mountain treks? Intrigued by level of cushion and new grip. Know theres no toe protection but still curious your thoughts

    • @chris.schmied
      @chris.schmied 3 месяца назад

      I wouldn’t recommend them. As a trail hiker I would get the Salomon Genesis, if the trails are technical. If the trails are easier then maybe the Hoka Speedgoat.

    I returned them. Too expensive for the issues out of the box. Heel slippage, no toe bumper, short laces, tight on top of foot. Just going to hold out and get Saucony Xodus ultra 3

    • @JohnM-xr6ch
      @JohnM-xr6ch 3 месяца назад

      Same, the heel slip is crazy, made worse by tiny laces making it almost impossible to tie a runners loop, and overall but a big heavy clunky mess.

    • @ozhunter6708
      @ozhunter6708 3 месяца назад

      @JohnM-xr6ch and 20 bucks more than any other comparable shoe. The grip was good and the midsole is soft but those should be a given on high stack trail shoes. I tried but I stopped liking Nike along time ago and this was a harsh reminder.

    Great video! The bonus tip was gold...I signed up for my first 100k, after only doing 50ks. (There wasn't a 50 miler that worked. ) Now I'm intimidated, excited/ nervous, and have more motivation to train than I have since my first 50k! I love to challenge myself, and get bored when something feels well within my reach. I'm just hoping I finish! 😂
