I got the heavier version of the leki ultratrail. For amateurs like us they are better and seem more stable. Have run 2 ultras with them (100k + 5000m ascent each) and they were great. After hours of continuous use the gloves may get tend to get stuck to the pole, so using a bit of hand cream helps every now and then. For the less technical races I use the lighter version without the gloves.

yea that seems true i hate talking anyways

It is an amazing city park for running. When I was younger, I mountain biked there a lot. Now I run the perimeter or do the permitter with a lot of up and down along the perimeter. For road style running, I stick to the top. You can make any length day you want up there. My biggest single loop was 25 km and 1100m. I’ve done a double loop at 33 km and 1200m. I’ve done a lot of up and down at Many Owls for an efficient hill session. Love that park. Have you found the car? I finally did last year. I live 3 km from the park, so I use it a lot.

Nice dnf

What a gorgeous boy ❤❤❤ I am getting one in a week

Have you tried the caffeinated gel? That will give you an extra boost plus change up the flavour.

Love doing the Saturday Park runs there!

I signed up for the 15 loop in Okotoks next year. June of 2025. Any training tips? Highest I have gone is a 50 km a few years ago

Hey buddy, great video, how do you go about training for one of these, I have done my first marathon (Calgary 2024) and I am eyeing this up in 2025 what changes do you make through the week to adapt? many thanks.

Ive run every kind of race at every distance but never a backyard ultra. My buddies have and tell me its brutal. I am registered to do one in a few months. I gotta find out how or why running 14 min miles can be so difficult😂 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Thanks for sharing your experience! Great video. I appreciate the tips you gave. I've got my first 24 hour race coming up soon and I am hoping to hit 100 miles. Keep the fun in the run!!! 😀

Nice video. Have you done Grizzly Ultra in Canmore? I couldn’t find a good video about that race on RUclips.

I use Leki Shark poles for Nordic walking and replaced the supplied mit (which irritated my hand) with Leki fingerless gloves; so much more comfortable. I also have full Leki gloves for winter use.

We got your back but you have your brain is such a great thing to say 😊😂

I’ve done this past 3 years in a row it’s really not that hard, Just the lack of sleep towards the end of 2nd day As nutrition water+ chicken+ venison is all I did felt fine following day

I was wondering if River is from a show breed and where did you get your training information from?

I am just hitting double digits in my marathon build where I need to focus on hydration and nutrition. I tried Maurten gel. I find it super sweet. I ordered a couple individual gels from the feed to try. I am going to try the Maurten drink mix later this week. Great work on the 50k 👊🏿

Nice work💪🏼

I have been using Skratch High Carb and Gu Roctane. I generally do not use gels but I carry a small soft flask with maple syrup in it.

Just took my first run today and I love 'em already! However, I was trying to take the baskets off (to make them easier to get in and out of my waist pack) and when to the directions. The illustration shows just unscrewing them. Even with pliers, I couldn't budge them. Any clue from your experience?

Dean's books inspired me as well. Had the opportunity to run with him (and Rob Krar) one evening after the outdoor retailer show years ago. Heck of a story teller.

Aftershokz for headphones while running. 😊

great video keep it up man

Good luck at lost Souls. I wondered what the weather was like for the 60 km bunch. I did the 10 km and got stuck in cold and drizzle the whole way. I was happy I chose to wear long sleeves and a toque. The Calgary Marathon is one of my favourite events.

He such a bea dog. I wish i had time to get a GSP

Great honest informative video. Much appreciated sir. I'm getting some.

amazing video man you did all that mental battle and did the filming great work :) about what motivate me is the old me the lazy me the me that will not do something because of fear and pain ...yea hope you doing well and Stay Hard man :)

JLab extreme sport. Ones the wrap around your ear

I saw this popping g off on Strava and wondered what the lesson was going to be from it. Nice work by the way. I do use a single bud most times and it's a ton of history podcast (which I failed in high-school multiple times). Other times it's just self reflection on the longer run days. I settled on Jabra Elite as the acoustics are way above average, they are light, and they stay put. I think the newer version can be alternated separately charging on the go.

Great video... Hope to see you at Lost Souls.

Great job! I listen to audiobooks, podcasts and music. I use Apple ear pods. I don’t love them but will try a different brand once these die.

Is there any chance you can use an adjective besides "super"? Any would do: "very", "extremely", "amazingly"... there's hundreds of expressive modifiers in the English language.

Beautiful looking dog, and he looks very well trained! I’ll be looking for a dog to run/go on hikes with me in about a year, I’ve also looked at Dutch shepherds, and Belgian malinios, did you research these dogs when making your decision?

So run like Goggins to be in a wheelchair in your senior years. Goggins has not much insight into training science. He knows how to push himself and others but he does so ignoring all knowledge there is and by that ruining his and the body of his clients. There are more healthy ways to reach the same goals intelligent. I know some of his clients stories and he can be glad that he hasnt killed some by accident. His knees are destroyed right now and he can only run in pain. Completely unnecessary if he would have aknowledged tapering, resting and taken a coach instead of playacting one. If your constantly functionally overloading yourself in training you will destroy your body. Sure you can reprogram yourself but most important aspect is intensifying training in a healthy way.. This will not only strenghten your body but your mind adapts automatically to the higher training load. Instead of just pushing tell yourself before the session to not listen to your brain & feelings right now as its not a truth but just preprogrammed bias and reserve judgement for later, but during the run listen to your body and take warning signs serious. Knowledge is power to mental strenght not ignoring what your body is trying to tell you.

Just found your content.... Happy to support a Canadian runner. You going to watch to see if Jim will win wser next weekend?

I have the Leki Cross Trail FX Superlite's and am about to use them for Minotaur and then I'll be using them for Lost Souls 100k. They are incredible so far! Especially if you've just used more traditional hiking poles. The glove is fabulous and is super easy to use once you've test ran them them a couple times! I'd say these have bothered my hands less than the traditional hiking pole straps - you still feel some wear on your hands. But I haven't gotten the same awful blisters like I did with other poles. I also have the Salomon vest and quiver and these slide in e-z!

Great job capturing the 60km. Good to relive some of the race. Sure was nice to turn around and get the wind at our backs!

Interesting, looking forward to hearing more about these. I use mine without straps, but I see most people use straps. Also, it is strange that you can not adjust the length of the pole, some like to make them longer going down hill.

I ran the 60 km at the calgary marathon as well, finished 6 hours 11 minutes!

Great video. It was a magical day in Calgary. Come say hi at Lost Soul!

Pain cave!!!!. Love that saying.

Can't beat a bit of diy or gardening to do your body in 😂

Stop stealing watches

Epic... keep it lit !
