- After months and months of training, lots of hills climbed, including my last training block in the mountains of Chamonix, race day is upon us! As this video drops on the channel, I will be giving my race kit one last check and then heading towards the bus that's going to take us over to Courmayeur, Italy for a midnight start time. All the kit has been thoroughly tested and I really feel that I can rely on it to help me through the 140km and 9100m of elevation of the TDS. It's going to be one epic journey and fingers crossed I make it back to the iconic finishing arch in Chamonix!
Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

Just did my UTMB MCC race in the Xodus Ultra’s today. They were just awesome. Great choice. Just watched all the TDS runners walk to the bus to take them to the start in Courmayeur. Good luck Loyd!
Yep. Best choice. I'd have dumped this channel if he chose SG5 lol, I've come to dislike them.
Here is my like. Come on Loyd!!!! The tds race is coming!!!!. SAUCONY ENDORPHIN FOR EVER!!!!!!A nice week for everyone. ☀️🏃♂️☀️
An Ecuadorian on the podium. Wow this is just the beginning.
Awesome running 👍
Best of luck for the race Lloyd.
Hey 👋 we spoke near the start finish line for the utmb last Saturday! Quality vt's dude and we have just got home to uk a few days ago....... Great Content
Have been dot watching... amazing effort, chapeau!
Thanks Angus and thanks for following our progress in the race🙏😊
Great video Loyd, the whole UTMB series you've done has been very good and I've appreciated all your work. Great to hear you emphasising the emergency bivi bag over a foil blanket, totally agree. Hope your TDS is going to plan 👍🏻
Cheer Gary 👍
Really glad you've enjoyed all the build up content on the channel, its been great fun making it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊

Loyd, what a true trail running adventurer you are but so dedicated in bringing your viewers and followers along with such incredible content and opinions, so from myself, thank you. Bon chance for the big race and look forward to seeing your arrival in Chamonix, best wishes, Mark
You got this.
Excellent video. G'waaaaan Loyd!
Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏😊

I couldn’t agree with you more! I absolutely love the Xodus Ultra!!
Good Luck and enjoy 🙂
Good luck Loyd.
Thanks Steve 🙏😊
Enjoy the race Loyd
Just a couple of hours until the start. It's your time to shine Loyd. 👍👍
Good luck Loyd!
Thanks Keith 🙏😊
Good luck with your race!
Cheers Grant 👍😊
Best of luck, sir! We’re all well behind you.
Loved your footage and your positivity!
Hats off!
Agree on pulsar trail pro, go to choice in the UK but went for slab ultra 3 on UTMB, just more reliable over the terrain. Also said hi in the first mile of the UTMB race as I saw you at the side of the road but it was all very hectic! Hopefully get chance to say hi properly at another event.
Good luck, Loyd.. have fun and stay safe!
Best of luck & have a blast!! go well Loyd!
Good luck with the run Lloyd. Look forward to the review video. And of course the shoes 👌🏻
Good luck, thanks for the great reviews and videos
And there it is!!! Followed you and Steve all the way and I must say at the CP cameras you made it look easy! 😂 Awesome to see you cross the finish and be greeted by Liga too. Just brilliant! nice one Loyd! 🎉👍
Thanks Paul 🙏
It sure was an adventure, one where I had to dig pretty deep to get it done! Really appreciate all the support, thanks mate 😊
Great content as always…..Good Luck! I’m a complete novice runner that is just starting to get the ultra Buzz. Recently purchased the Salomon 12 race vest & Saucony Peregrine 12 after following this channel. Would love to know more about the Navigation aspect on ultra events & how you started. Again good luck & keep up the great work
Just watched you cross the line. Massive congratulations.
Thanks Mark and thanks for following our progress on the day 🙏😊
Good luck and hope you enjoy this great race.
Awesome following you live, Loyd. Just heading to bed here in UK as you & Steve head up to Hauteluce. Absolutely brilliant & loving the video clips on UTMB of your CPs. Looking in fine form
That's for all the support Paul! It was support like yours that really helped me push through those dark times so thanks very much mate 🙏😊
Good luck Loyd. Enjoy the adventure 🙌
guess by now you're already on the bus to Cormayeur. have a great race, Loyd! i'll be watching for you on the live-tracking! let's gooo!
That end bit. NOW I WANT A BAGUETTE CHESSE AND HAM
Hi Loyd! Happy to see you crossing the finish line... Good job! Amazing experience... Congratulations! 😃
Thanks very much 🙏😊
Hope you have a good one Loyd & we will all be looking forward to see you on the next video to hear how it went 👍
Good luck loyd, wishing you all the very best 👍🏼
Well done on your finish! What an achievement!
Thanks Andy 🙏
It was great to make it back to that iconic finish line in Chamonix! 😁
The very best of luck Loyd, hope you have a amazing adventure🤘🏃
Good luck Loyd, hope it goes the way you want 👍🏻
Good luck mate - awesome adventure!
Another great and informative video. Wishing you the very best of luck with the run. 🤙
All the best and enjoy!
Great gear.. I know what you mean by looking down and seeing what you are wearing for mental boost!
Good luck ….. smash it and enjoy
Great series... looking forward to the next instalment. Keep safe and have a great run (and of course, capture it all on video!)
Best of luck Loyd!!!
It’s strange to think that, as I watched this on Monday morning in California, you are already on the move amidst the excited crowd, running and climbing through the night. Best of luck on your adventure, and thanks for this great series of videos. I briefly had palpitations during the run-up to the shoe reveal. The drama!
Great series Loyd and good luck with the race. I see views and subscribers are ticking up (and well deserved,) Keep up the good work , that youtube algorithm will soon be doing its stuff 👍
Thanks Simon and thanks for all the great support, it's really appreciated 🙏😊
Hope it went well loyd! Great film as always!
Thanks Claire 🙏
It was great to bump into you at the finish line. Hope you had a fantastic time in Chamonix and you captured lots of great content! 😊
Good luck tonight Lloyd. Been following the entire series. Excited for CCC myself on Friday. Hope everything goes as well as it can!
Great review to watch for someone taking on a mountain ultra or where race conditions could change and you need that confidence in your mandatory kit.
Liked the way you gave the reasons why behind each piece and definitely agree with the bivvy over the blanket choice. I’ll be following you and the Pirate this week!
Cheers Paul, glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Another class video - SUPER good luck on TDS Loyd - can’t wait to hear how it goes / went
Go smash it Loyde . And all the Cornish runners
Thanks for the video Lloyd, as promised on your response to my recent Strava comment 👍. Have now purchased some Xodus Ultra for my forthcoming 50km race at Ladybower reservoir in October. Hope it all went well for you in Chamonix 👍
Thanks Phil, glad you enjoyed it! Hope the Xodus Ultra works well for you and best of luck with your race, thanks for watching 🙏😊
Glad I bought those shoes on yours and several other reviewers recommendation. Felt great on a 25 mile long run right out of the box. Have an amazing TDS!!! Can't wait to see the race footage!
Great choice Loyd, I hope your kit serves you well and you smash the race. I just bagged a £52 pair of Reebok floatride energy 4 Adventure trail shoes. A bit more Cush and more lugs than the Road version (r4adventure!)with a discount code. Not in the same league as your mountain beasts but for the money will hopefully be a great light trail shoe for me and my parkrun visit to Trelissick this weekend. Just couldn’t get on with the high arch in the hoka speedgoats and mafate with my flat plates of meat. All the best Loyd with the race and look forward to the video!
Good luck man have a blast!
Been watching the videos love them. Good luck lad will be thinking of you. Update us soon!
Good luck Loyd and team, have an awesome race mate 💪
Best of luck Loyd. Hup!
All the best Loyd! We knew it would be the Xodus Ultras 😁
Have fun in TDS Loyd!!!
Go crush it mate! Godspeed
Just seen the start online. Good luck and happy trails 👏🔔👏
Sorry, there doesn’t seem to be a cowbell emoji 👍
Have an amazing race, run strong 💪
Good Luck on your Race 👍🏿
Hope you have a great race Loyd! You'll do great I'm sure from all the training 💪🏻hope it's nice conditions for you! I've got a few videos to catch up on! Can't wait to see the race footage though mate! Have a great time and best of luck!
Good luck Loyd
Have a great journey and stay strong 💪
Good luck and great choice of shoe 👍
Best of luck 👊🏼
Good luck mate!! finally ordered my SG5's!! i'm excited but but i'm not sure when to arrive coz it's from AUS .. still no stocks on size 11 in PH been months waiting already lol
Thanks Andrew 🙏
Really hope you enjoy your SG5's when they arrive! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 😊
Nice video Loyd, I hope you have had time to recover. A quick question on this, which salt tabs did you take with you?
Smash it!!!
Hi what was the Solomon vest called you are wearing pls?
Great blogs and good luck
loyd which snooker cue did you use, left or right pole ? 🤣 ....well done for completing it under 40
Thanks Steve 👍
It was a tough 39hrs in the mountains but we made it back in one piece! Thanks for the support 🙏
I alrready return endorfine shoes because foam start to tear in only 2 runs when i hit rocks.No innov,alto,topo,la sportiva?For me mutant works best.
Just loaded you up to follow on the UTMB website!
Me too. Go Loyd!
Thanks Phil 🙏
Thanks Helen 🙏
Lloyd would you recommend the Exodus Ultra even if you have a wider forefoot?
It really depends on how wide your forefoot is? I'd say the width is good in the Xodus Ultra but it's not super wide like an Altra 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Did you use the Harrier sizing guide to select your fixed length or have you used adjustable poles and know your size from experience?
I've always used a 125cm running pole lenght, it's just right for my height (6ft 1") 👍
Xodus vs Trailfly Ultra G 300? Just curious, because I can pickup a pair of the trailfly's on super discount right now.
I'd personally go for the Xodus Ultra because it is a lot lighter but the Trailfly is still a nice shoe to run in. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏😊
@@Run4Adventure Thanks for the info!
How do I get one of those purple Run4Adventure hats?
Unfortunately they sold out along time ago! We are however working on a new Run4Adventure running cap and they should be available soon 🤞🤞
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏😊
Hi, should a man wear a jockstrap whilst running?
I've never used one for running 🤔
How do u enter this race
The best thing to do is go on the UTMB race website, all the info needed is on there 👍
I have to say it's not the most straight forward race entry system but it's worth all the effort. Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊
