  • Follow along as we take on the Dutch Backyard Ultra near Utrecht in the Netherlands as beginner ultrarunners. Held in the scenic forests of Leersum, our adventure started at 8 pm on Friday, March 8th, 2024.
    In this video, we share our experiences tackling the course together as a couple, along with interviews from other participants explaining why they love the Backyard Ultra concept.
    Join us for a glimpse into the challenges, triumphs, and camaraderie of this unique event, and discover why the Backyard Ultra is more than just a race - it's an unforgettable adventure in endurance and community.
    The Dutch Backyard Ultra was organized by Trailrunning Europe www.trail-running.eu
    This fantastic company has a feeling for the trails and organizes races every weekend.

    Leuk om terug te zien! Ik liep ook mee, en gaf na 13 rondes over aan het stemmetje in m'n hoofd... 😅Uiteindelijk had er meer in gezeten, nagenoeg geen spierpijn gehad en kon nog vrij normaal lopen achteraf... Volgend jaar minimaal 15 rondes en wie weet lukt de 24 dan ook wel!

    Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed it very much. I'm participating my 1st Backyard Ultra next week in Hamburg. I always said if I could make it to 2 Marathons (13 rounds) would be amazing; but100K (15 rounds) would be EPIC. I consider this video a good sign as you've achieved 13 & 15 rounds :)
    Good luck & enjoy your future adventures.

      @@roberturbanphotography hey guys. I finally did it. I managed to achieve 10 rounds. I enjoyed it very much.
      As the race continued I needed almost the whole 1 hour to finish each round, the last couple of rounds I only had 1 minute to get some snacks and water and continue. So it was difficult to continue. Definitely need some continuous training.

    Amazing from both of you 😊👏🏻 can I ask what your Garmin / watch strategy was, did you just press start then finish at the end or did you hit the lap button at every new lap etc ?

    • @roberturbanphotography
      @roberturbanphotography  2 месяца назад +2

      Hi we don’t use Garmin, we have both Apple Watch. So we just let it run whole the time. But I know some people on Garmin did the lap button at every new lap. For us it was easier to monitor our pace if I didn’t pause the activity.
