Way to go Sarah! It was so sweet to hear that your first 5k was 45 minutes, as I finished my first 5k last autumn at 42 minutes. TBH I've been down on myself about how slowly I ran, but this is great encouragement to just keep going and keep improving at my own rate :)
It never gets any easier, you just go faster.
Don't be hard on yourself. My normal 5k time is around 38 mins but I've done marathons, half marathons, countless 10k and 5ks. Your speed does not define what you can do. Only your resilience. Be proud of your achievements.
Key step to running is never compare yourself to others my 1st 10k at an actual event was 1hr 17mins run a pb few weeks ago 43:10 and be honest more proud of the 1hr 17 one because it was far more challenging to me at the time.
@@macree01 Good for you! Everyone has different abilities and skill levels. Trying to tear someone else down doesn't make you faster, it just makes you a jerk.
My first 5km took me around 40minutes too and a few months later, I am close to 25min! Never compare your time, the importance is to get your heart pumping and enjoy the process!
Yes! Well done! I will be trying my first 50k soon at the young age of 65 and this was so inspirational and extremely well filmed. You are a delight.
Makes me feel young. I'm doing my first at the age of 60😀
@@MichaelJanos1024 well done!
Well done inspirational!
A marathon and ultramarathon within 2 months?! Hats off to you👏👏😱 like I could never!!
One lead to the other. Thanks for watching.
You never know what your capable of until you try.
She is really amazing! I still can’t even do a 5K 😢
@@runningchannel Wasn't it one of your guest presenters that said that parkrun was a gateway drug to ultras? Like any good dealer, the parkrun is free...
You totally could if you put your mind to it 👍🏻 I challenge you!
Woop woop 🙌🏼 well done, Sarah! We just watched this before we go to bed and it brought back good memories. What an achievement and, I’m sure, just the beginning for you! Great to meet you (and Freddie). Great video. Well done all round 🤟🏼😊
Watching your videos, and then this one, made it all so much more real.
When this started I was wait a minute. Ben and Mary are running it too...but you know of course 👍. Think it's awesome when 2 channels I follow cross over into each other.
We were watching this saying that we'll find Ben and Mary's video next.
As odd as it may sound to some, when you crossed that finish line made me emotional as the elation that was visible reminded me of my first half marathon. You should be proud of yourself, that was amazing! I have that niggle to do a marathon, at least once and that is something im now working towards. Thank you for re-igniting that desire and inspiring me to achieve what i thought only other people could do! Happy new to everyone!
Exactly the same here, reminded me of every one of my running milestones, from first 5k all the way to first marathon.
Massive respect. Not just an ultra, but that ultra. Not just run it, but also carried a go pro and narrated. What a superstar.
Fantastic 😍 very inspiring
Felt like crying once you ran past the finish line! You're an inspiration Sarah! Real proud of you and so so glad to discover this channel and be inspired by all the running challenges that everyone does here.
Same😅
So much fun to watch, I love when that moment of pride hits, Sarah is so genuine.
Wow, I loved this sentence "Time is a lost concept in an ultra". Only who ran an ultra knows that. I ran a personal ultra 50k running for 5h45 but total time was over 9h. Crazy stuff. Congrats Sarah!!
Glad you could relate to it Daniel! Any ultra's lined up?
@@runningchannel Hello!! I have the local marathon postponed from 2020 that I will run with a friend and also 4 more races. It will be fun!! Thanks so much for your videos and I just love this channel!!
Thanks for putting "Don't stop me now"in my head for the rest of the evening. 😅
No, that's so bloody inspiring, Sarah, you did a great job and made an awesome vid in the process.
Multi kudos!
I just ran my longest distance of 25K (and then some I was later told), a few weeks ago and I still can’t imagine any other race being more difficult. It took me just under 5 hours and I wanted to die. Thank you for sharing this experience. It inspires me to keep moving forward and for a little bit farther each time. You crushed this race! Congratulations!!! 💪🏻🎉👏👏👏
“Don’t stop me now…”…. I had this song in my head at the start of a 50 miler. Ended up singing it all the way …. Although I think I knew less words than you! 🤣
Awesome running and filming, thanks for sharing!
5K to 54K! Good girl! Your dedication has paid off 10 fold! Bravo 👏
I just started to get (back?) into running and I’m determined to fall in love with it this time! So, naturally I found TRC and have been totally binging all their videos and I specifically gravitated towards Sarah’s videos. I love Sarah so much but my one thing was that she’s too fast for me. Like unrealistically fast “I’ll never run those times, I’m just trying to get to 5k without stopping” fast. But hearing that her first 5k was 45 minutes stopped me in my tracks. I couldn’t believe it. She started where I am, and look at her now!! ❤ 🏃
Congrats! Really happy for you!….the older I get the softer I am….I’m not gonna lie, some tears of joy for you were shed….right before I head out for training run number 22 and it’s -8c outside….42 more runs before my first marathon at age 54. I’ve accomplished many things to this point in my life, and now the season allows for running and athletics to be a focus. Live life and rack up experiences! Congrats Sarah….truly happy for you.
What an amazing race and experience! Your first ultra is one you never forget . I ran a 50km race and leaned that I am capable of so much more than I dreamed of ! Way to go Sarah !!!
Barely just gotten into trail running. 8 months into my wellness journey and 3 months into running trails. I can't even do 1km of non-stop running yet.
Watched loads of ultra marathon videos & documentaries for tips & inspiration.
Looking forward to completing my 1st 5km this year some time.
This was motivational and spurred me on - 1.5 hour into the new year with renewed drive for what lies ahead.
Soon!
🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Thank you for your video.
Incredible ! So well done ! Thanks for a great inspiring channel . Doing my first 10km race in Greenwich in April. I’m 58 and it’s been a long consistent build up but determined to do it ! And hoping it will lead onto more.keep up the good work , such a great channel with great real people participating . Makes a huge difference making you realise that you can actually do this .Best decision I ever made to start running .
Love this! 💯💛🏃🏻♀️ Congratulations! I just added an ultra to my bucket list. Thank you for this video, for inspiring and for being awesome! Keep smiling! 😃
Amazing work Sarah! Seeing you smash all the challenges you’ve been set this year has been inspiring to us all and you should be so proud of yourself. Enjoy a well earned rest and look forward to seeing what challenges 2022 has in store.
I really loved this video! A perfect blend of Sarah's struggles and the beautiful scenery and context of the race. Kudos to Sarah for smashing this out, especially liked when you referred back to your first 5k time - how far you've come!!
Amazing Sarah, amazing!
Happy new year to all and yourselves at TRC.
Can't wait to see what content you bring in 2022!!
I would love to see tips on managing long hair during runs. How about when you run 4 days in a row? How often do you wash it? I see Anna and Sarah having their hair in braids a lot and that's my go-to hairstyle as well. When I first got into running I tried ponytails and ended up having to brush out huge knots after each run, because of all the re-tightening I did during my runs....
I have a hard time with flyaways in my face 😑
I keep mine braided all the time as well. Everyone’s hair is different but I run 4 times a week and wash my hair after my long run on Sundays usually and that works for me.
This was just so great to watch. Well done Sarah! I had tears watching you reflect on your journey. I'm only very early on in my running journey and this is incredibly motivating! Thanks for sharing :)
The "that was awful" at the end was so relatable! The quote "Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? Probably." by Nick Miller from New Girl very well summarised my thoughts immediately after the finish line of my first race a few weeks ago 😅🙈
Not me crying as you came over the finish! Would love to see how you trained and prepared for it! Congratulations, massive inspiration to complete an ultra one day 💗
Looking forward to your preps videos too!👍👍👍
Would love to see how she trained for this too
Thank you for taking us this amazing feat! You had such a great attitude throughout. I got anxiety when I saw you needed to cross the river and cried when you said you were proud of yourself - as you should be! You are an inspiration!
So, so inspiring, Sarah! Congratulations! I'm running my first ultra in April (Umstead 50 Miler) and I'm terrified, but so excited after seeing you run! Keep up the amazing work!
This channel is being a huge inspiration for me. I've been running off and on my whole life (I'm 22) and have stopped running while in College. Senior year, just finished a mini triathlon, and watching this video makes me want to go on a run!
The highs and the lows we go thru we go during an ultra marathon are priceless and I've felt it on this side of the screen, thank you so much for sharing... Good recup Sarah!
That’s amazing! I ran my first marathon this year without enough training and said never again. Watching you here and a few others online makes me really want to do it again! Can’t wait to run again
Well done Sarah!👏👏👏👏 I was so excited to see this. Fantastic video! ✨
Sarah…. That was awesome…. I am 55 and training for my 1st 5k! It’s been literally 25 yrs since I ran for various reasons! Absolutely inspirational! Txs
How'd your 5k go?
Oh Sarah that got me right in the feels!!! 😭 your unwavering sense of excitement and joy was delightful to watch and you should very rightly be hugely proud of what you achieved!! 😍 I've got my first ultra in July (RTTS day 2) which i'm looking forward to and scared in equal measure. Watching you take each moment as it comes and enjoying yourself so much (maybe bar that last hill and the little bridge) has given me confidence and inspiration! thank you. x
You are such an amazing inspiration Sarah! Incredible results! Also, those ending words really got me 🦸🔥🏃🏻♀️
Amazing effort Sarah and love the music suggestions!
What a great experience. Well done Sarah! Great job on such a good video to all the running channel team involved!
So amazing! Feeling inspired. Cried happy tears when you said how proud you were of yourself. Congratulations!!!
Amazing job Sarah! What an experience watching this video as you go through the process. I’ve been running for 5 years and will be doing my first 50k next summer, but it surely won’t be with that kind of elevation! Congrats
Sarah!!! Look what you've accomplished! You never cease to inspire and amaze me! I just recently broke the 45 minute mark in a 5K race--but I'm 50 and 275 pounds--down from almost 400. I have so far to go, but hearing your start times made me feel that I can accomplish more than I believe! Keep up the fantastic work!
Amazing run - great to see how you’ve grown as a runner over the last year or so. Just goes to show what can be achieved! Keep up the good work in 2022!
What a great result Sarah. It’s been great to see how well your running journey has gone so far. You ran that really well, it looked a tough one.
Huge congrats Sarah! What an achievement. Love how you’re vocalising all your thoughts as it’s exactly what everyone else is thinking at the same time too!!!
Loved every minute of this!! You should be so proud of yourself. You crossing the finish line, what a moment!!! Well done Sarah, you’re amazing!! 🤩🤩🤩
I've really enjoyed watching your running journey. Thanks for a great year to all at TRC
Well done Sarah ! Amazing … I’m in Thailand now .. the running community is huge here . Can’t wait to do my first ultra soon . You’re an inspiration
I’ve been looking forward to watching this video when I saw your Strava! Well done! Such a great achievement🥰
I confess myself inspired.
A great run Sarah; and a seriously professional and entertaining documentary from the Running Community.
Keep up the superb work and Happy New Year and big TA! to all concerned.
Watched this tonight doing my first 10k on Zwift in prep for an event in October, helped me get through it! What an achievement Sarah, your personality in these vids really comes through, they are a great, fun watch! Congrats.
Massive congrats on an amazing achievement! Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!
This was so good! Having been in Thailand over Christmas and running in the heat all I know is this must have been HARDCORE! LOVE IT! so cool and amazing how you’ve gone from casual runner to marathon to “oh I’ve done an ultra in Thailand” lol. Major respect!
You are amazing, well done! :). I've had to pull out of my next ultra from an injury and I really loved watching this. Well done x
Congratulations!! Well done Sarah. Loved watching you. You did a brilliant job. Now I’m thinking about doing it
Lovely lovely video. Well done. Such a great achievement . Take that wonderful lesson with you always. You're amazing!!!
Huge kudos Sarah ! What an amazing journey in 3 years. I do trail running for 6 years and in 2022 I'm going for a 50K, a scary challenge to me. Thanks to inspire me and to show all the emotions you go trough while you're running. You can be proud of you !
Well done Sarah! Loved your 'running' commentary. One of my favorite videos ever!
Well done, absolutely brilliant. One of my favourite videos ever xx 💪❤️
Well done! Excellent work, this looked like an amazing ultra to try, such beautiful scenery.
Hats off to you Sarah. That was inspirational to many I’m certain. Brilliant videography by the way & some stunning scenery shots. You will look back on that in years to come with proud memories I’m sure.
Sarah, you are an inspiration to us all! I am really impressed how happy you sounded, even when you were saying how much you were hurting.
Sarah, I have been so inspired & motivated by watching your progress with the marathon & leading up to the UM and watching some other videos on Jim Walmsley etc that I have decided to sign up for my first Ultra Challenge - the Lake District challenge 11/12 June. My mum passed away from Pancreatic Cancer three yrs ago today and I have been trying to do arrange a charity event each year since to raise money for St Gemmas hospice who took amazing care of her in her final days 👍. All the best for 2022 😊
Amazing Sarah, wonderful experience and you toughed it out to the end with a smile on your face the whole time!
Amazing effort and brilliant video, very inspiring!! Well done 👏🎉
Another brilliant video - absolutely loved it 😍👌🙌
Sarah is such a inspirational creator. really enjoying this channel
Congratulations welcome to the ultra club! There’s no way to describe the feeling when you cross that line after a tough race. Hats off to you, looks like a super cool race.
omg Sarah, that was properly inspiring! I am the wonkiest of wonky runners, and I have signed up to my first ever ultramarathon in 2022 to celebrate (?!) my 50th birthday. Runners are strange and wonderful people!
Inspirational!!! Thank you!! Loved that video!!
Great job and brilliant video. Thank you for sharing. x
Well done Sarah, super stuff and such an achievement! Great to see the channel bringing us more ultra stuff too :)
So inspiring, I have now watched this a few times. A delight to watch.
Amazing effort well done! Thank you for the inspiration
Absolutely amazing Sarah, congratulations🏃🏻♀️👏🏅
"How to run an ultra - I think we are about to find out!"
Nice start^^
What an accomplishment, massive kudos, very inspirational and also emotional towards the end. I really want to run an ultra now :)
Another epic quote: "time is a lost concept on an ultra"
Wow well done Sarah that was amazing. I have my first marathon in April and am panicking already but your videos keep me going xx
Good luck!
The Running Channel never fail to inspired me to continue working for my first marathon (and hopefully then ultramarathon)
I welled up when you crossed the finish line. Well done Sarah, got my first Ultra in May.
Great Great video Sarah!! Very entertaining to see the different transitions you went through physically and emotionally. I understand all you battled to finish. I completed my first ultra (50Km) this passed November. 🔥 🔥 Great job!!
Sarah!!! You are incredible!!! Congratulations on a job well done!!! I’m so so proud of all that you’ve accomplished!!
Sarah, just extraordinary! Many congratulations. And you looked so with it throughout pretty much the whole thing. I’ve always fancied the idea of an Ultra more than a road marathon, but never thought I was more than a 10k runner. Maybe I’ll think more seriously about it now 😳
This was amazing, you are inspiration. Loved watching your achievement. Can’t wait for your next challenge
Congratulations, what a great effort! Thank you for sharing!
Sarah, you are just absolutely amazing and such a big inspiration for a half couch potato/ half runner like me! ❤ Thank you!
Well done Sarah!! Congratulations for this awesome running year for you!!
I'm proper welling up watching this - congrats and well done Sarah!
I'm still struggling with the envy (and if you had not enjoyed it I don't think I would have been able to bear it) but it was lovely to watch, and actually I ran my first marathon around the time you ran yours, and I have my first ultra in March, so I do share the excitement of the unknown. Well done you.
That is brilliant, I hope you are very proud of yourself. Watching your journey from marathon to ultra is truly inspiring
Well done Sarah and congratulations on completing your first (of many I'm sure) ultra. I'm looking to do my first ultra this year and this video has made me even more excited for the challenge. Bring it on.
Well done, Sarah. You are a trooper! You are very inspiring, and have a great disposition. Funnily enough your example of perseverance inspires perseverance in other fields too. For example I am learning to play two very nice pieces of piano music, but I am learning very slowly, and in fits and starts, because I am lazy when it comes to practising, always easily distracted. But you have shown how important it is to battle to achieve your aspirations, and I feel greatly encouraged to persevere every day till I learn to play them. As the old sasying goes: 'the only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary'! I love this channel and watch your videos regularly, and there's no shortage of belly laughs with some of them, such as crazy things runners say and do. God bless you and all at the Running Channel. And again, congratulations on your terrific achievement. xxxx
Thank you so much for this video Sarah! I only just started running this year. Your video has inspired me to enter into my first ever Trail Run (the soonest will be end of Jan). Hopefully 2022 will see me run my first ever marathon, and then follow that up with an Ultra!
How exciting for you Richie, let us know how you get on.
outstanding! Big Kudos for pulling through not only the distance but also the tough elevation changes. Whoop Whoop, you did it, you did it.
Absolutely awesome!! Massive congratulations!
I was looking forward to this, thoroughly enjoyed watching! What an amazing journey!!
Glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Congratulations!! You have such an amazing attitude, it was great seeing you overcome the mental and physical challenges of an ultra. What a gorgeous but tough race!! Reference was Lion King, and my goal for 2022 is to recover from a minor heart attack last week caused by blood pressure issues I've been ignoring. (I'm 43!) Hopefully I'll be able to tackle an easy fall 50k, but everything is up in the air until the test results are all back. Can't wait to see what you tackle next!
So very well done !! Not only did you do this amazing challenge but you managed to film an awesome, funny, and inspiring video too. Wow!
That's awesome Sarah, great job. Loved the commentary as well, especially the Lion King reference 😆
Congratulations , AGAIN :). Good Job Freddie with the filming and editing :)
Brilliant Sarah...congratulations. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Amazing achievement Sarah! Congratulations. Very inspirational. 👏👏
Well done, Sarah! Love your heartfelt emotion in the last few kilometers there --- that experience of tears of pure happiness is the best.
