- Race to the Stones did not disappoint! What an incredible day and race for my first ultramarathon. The months of training had gone well, it was just a case of getting to the start line and putting in my best effort. Absolutely loved meeting people along the course, the aid stations were superb and the heat.... well let's just say I had to double my planned fluid intake and even that wasn't enough at times.
The legs are just about coming back to life and I'm beginning to think about the next adventure...

Well done 👏🏼 and thank you for doing this vlog. I've entered for 2024 and it certainly helps give an idea of what it would be like
Thanks Stuart! I’d definitely do it again given the chance - it’s a great route. Good luck for next year 🤞👏
@@TheVeganRunner thank you. Useful your thoughts on trial shoes too 😀
Excellent effort. Well done! Great photography 👍🍷
Thank you Emlyn ☺️
Excellent ! well done,
Thanks Tahir!
Thanks for doing this. I am interested in doing this next year. It's a huge accomplishment so well done 👍
Go for it! It’s a fantastic route and the atmosphere is brilliant. Thanks Barry and good luck 👍
Hi just discovered your YT channel and have been watching your videos from the beginning. Well done on this race it is incredible to see your journey of consistency and showing what is possible. Thank you! Love your channel.
Thanks so much Kaudija! Appreciate the kind words and support - I’ve fallen in love with running and the brilliant community around it. First 100miler coming next year…. 🫣 Hope your running is going well ☺️
@@TheVeganRunner that is super exciting for you! 100 milers are epic!! I just completed my first Half Marathon in Wimbledon Common, London. It was nothing like I was prepared for: mud bath up to my ankles all throughout the course, huge pools of rain water, slipping and sliding everywhere and half way through torrential downpour! 🙈 I pushed through and completed it in 2.32:59 which was my predicted time for a flat road race!! I was so happy with that! Also half way through my training I broke my arm and severely sprained my foot in 3 places in the freak accident whilst standing believe it or not. I am so happy I was able to run my first Half after all that. Now onto the Marathon. Thanks and look forward to more of your videos! 😁
@@KlaudijaGreen That’s an incredible achievement even without the horrid conditions and your injuries! Amazing! I hope your marathon training goes more smoothly, and race conditions are kinder! Thanks again for the support and good luck! ☺️
@@TheVeganRunner thank you so much!! 🏃♀️💪
Congratulations, amazing achievement
Thank you!
this was such an amazing race and the views where awesome. what an experience you had. i love that you didn't add music and just heard the patter of feet. i hope you met so many amazing people along the run. rach at the end ☺she was so happy to see you
Glad you picked up on that Bradley - I wanted to put across the solitude and quietness of being out there for so long. Thanks for the support and for watching Bradley 👍
Looking forward to this Lee.
Well done Lee, cracking job 👏
Thanks Jamie!
Just awesome Lee🤩 🎉🌱💪🏻 you bloody smashed it 💪🏻🙌👏👏
Thank you so much Alison! 😃 Loved it really!
Amazing effort Lee with the heat and conditions!
Thanks Gez! The heat was brutal once that sun came out. I had to completely change my hydration plan and ven then was finding I was running out of water.
Looking forward to watching this video... just 2 hours to go! Hoping this will give me some motivation to go out for a run tonight!
🤞 Hope it did the trick!
Fantastic run. I can't take the gels either but have found active root is quite good
I really like active root! I’ve never had an issue with gels before, and have taken the high5 ones during marathons before with no issues. I think it was a combo of too much sugar via those gels and having to take on a lot of liquid per hour. I’m thinking of sticking to high quality gels and fruit next time.
WOW Lee, fantastic effort to finish 7th and loved watching the video, I only ever managed the 42k version and most of those broke me, 100k is super impressive, well done mate :)
Thank you so much! Up until that point, around 50K was my longest run and I couldn't imagine doubling it. It's surprising how it passes, on an interesting course, with support and fellow runners around. It doesn't make it easy, but it certainly helps when you can see another runner bobbing away on the horizon!
Great effort!! You did well to get an early start and avoid the most of the heat!!
Well done on a great placing - all that training paid off.
Yeah, the early wave was very lucky - big respect to anyone out there for longer in that direct sunshine and heat. As soon as the clouds disappeared the heat really ratcheted up. I think that was the toughest part of the event. Thanks for the kind words Keith!
@@TheVeganRunner yeah I was in 7:50 wave and pretty much most I spoke to in that wave over the day had changed their game plan to surviving lol.
That said I have just signed up for the king so shows I enjoyed it!
I thought of you several times on race day, and it sounds like your hard work and preparation paid off. I will be very excited to see the video in a couple of days!
Thanks Sherwin! I had a good race, learnt plenty and almost fully recovered now. The heat was brutal in the 2nd half but very to have made it to the finish line. Going to head out for a gentle run right now and see how things are feeling.
@@TheVeganRunner Just watched the video. So well done, Lee!!! Thank you for sharing the journey with us--I know it takes extra effort to carry a camera. I was amused to hear you saying that you would never do another ultra when you were running, when I know you already have your sights on another goal. As an observation, may I say that everyone seems to start off too fast! Looking forward to your debrief!
Amazing achievement and cracking pace Lee 💥💪👏👏✌
Thanks so much George - really happy with the result... but want to do better! ;)
@@TheVeganRunner You have room for improvement, especially it was your first 100 and also with gopro. I think you smash next one under 9 hours. I am doing Plague tomorrow and hoping for under 17 hours but target B is to finish 😀
a 100k-race is still an insane concept to me, but one day i wanna do this. 89k coming up in november.
anyways, monumental running, Lee! looks like a hot day as well, and a very beautiful course! awesome!
Thanks so much! It's still an insane concept to me, and I frequently thought about that on race day and in training. 89K is practically the same distance - you'll likely pace it the same as a 100K and your nutrition/training plans will be very similar - should be a good experience for when you take on the full beast. The heat was killer - some reporting up to 30C once the sun came out, we're just not used to running in that heat over here!
Such a great race Lee, so impressive and in that heat too! Massive achievement, really good to see all your training and hard work come together. Big congrats
Thank you Ben - really appreciate the kind words, from someone who has been there and done that! What's next for you?
@@TheVeganRunner Executed to perfection buddy and can't imagine in that heat! I'm mainly going for adventure runs this summer and doing some different solo trail challenges though still need to finalise those. Got a charity 30 miler I've organised next week so that'll be my focus first. What about you?
I’ve had a quick look for ultras around a Christmas time - that’s when I’d next be ready following a 19 week block of training. Not many about though so might wait until Jan for ARC50
@@TheVeganRunner Oh cool, the Arc is a really tricky one I've heard, sounds like a great challenge!
Great video and great race, I did my 50k and couldn’t imagine doing double that! I need to get faster before I do another ultra though, that’s my new focus.
I went up to 50K and 35 miles in training, at the time, my longest runs - I couldn;t imagine what double that was going to feel like either. Nothing can prepare you for it really, when you're out there 'racing', on an interesting course, with people around you, it's so different from a training run. Thanks for watching and good luck with your speed work!
Fantastic achievement Lee, huge well done, and filming it all too! How do you do that?! Rest up and recover well.
Thank you Lin! Sometimes, the camera comes as a helpful distraction from the suffering or monotony of placing one foot in front of the other and I think psychologically, knowing there will be a (small) audience watching, pushes you on when things get tough! There are times when I feel like launching it into the nearest hedge though!
Great VLOG, great result. What shorts are you wearing please? Thanks, Shaun
Thanks Shaun! They’re from a company called SOAR 👍
Well done Lee, I was 7 minutes behind you. The heat really took it's toll on me. Congratulations on a great result and I hope you're recovery has gone well.
Well done to you too Adam - you were looking strong when you passed at around the 60K mark, I wasn’t expecting to catch you. Had this awful stitch for the last 40K or so and as you say the heat was intense. I’m almost there with the recovery - still lacking a bit of top end speed, and after a speed session, legs feel a little more worse for wear than usual but no major complaints! How about you?
@@TheVeganRunner thank you. I had a leaking hydration pack all day plus my drink powder bags had burst in my pack. A good lesson in keeping calm and dealing with adversity! I've felt it's taking me longer to recover than normal due to dehydration and the warm weather we've had since has impacted me, particularly my sleep! My body certainly took longer to recover than my legs on this occasion!
Sorry to hear that, sounds like a nightmare! You did very well to push through it. Just goes to show you have no idea what people are going through on the course, you looked strong throughout 👍
@@TheVeganRunner it's very easy in these races to thing you might be the only person suffering, these things only make us stronger and more resilient! Good luck deciding on your next race/ challenge 👍
How did you look so strong the entire way!! Fantastic result Lee, really impressive. It almost made we want to do it, then I remembered it’s 100k 🤣🤣
Haha! People often say that! Perhaps I’m good at hiding the inner suffering 😅 Stsrt with a 50K? 😆
@@TheVeganRunner Maybe one day….trail runs do appeal to me. If I can do 42k I can surely do 50k…… Well done again 🤩
Absolutely - a few extra miles onto a marathon, whilst still epic, isn't all that much extra effort and it's usually at a much more conservative pace.
I can’t wait to watch this video Lee but I will wait until Sunday when I get home BTBY
Thanks Steve! Hopefully the sun will still be shining when you get back 👍
You absolute legend, what an enormous achievement mate and you carried a bloody camera, I was exhausted just watching it, all you ultra marathon runners are nutters BTBY 😄🥰👍
Cheers Steve! It still feels crazy to me to be honest - being out for 10 hours or more is pretty mind blowing even after doing it! Sorry for the late reply, YT notifies me when a new comment comes in usually, but doesn’t notify me to a reply! 🙄
Incredible running Lee! A superb result too! So much speed over such a long distance truly inspiring mate! Huge kudos to you! Shout out to Katie from G Town! 😎🤘
Thanks Ben - I had no idea how it was going to go in that second half, just listened to my body and tried not to fight it too much. An epic adventure... after recovering I can see why people come back for more!
very very great running dear Vegan Runner. Congratulations from me. It must be very hard to run 100 km and i terrain ecpecially- Inga Dk.
Thank you Inga! Nice to hear from you :) It was the hardest thing I've ever done - the heat was the most brutal thing about it. Hope you're well!
@@TheVeganRunner Yes i am well in spite of the heat in DK but its hot in UK too I know. Yours cincerely Inga. DK.
I'm really enjoying your channel. Really appreciate the honesty describing your runs, especially the longer ones, such as this, Race to the Stones. Thanks. It has inspired me to prepare and push myself further to attempt a 50k next year. One thing that never seems to be mentioned by yourself (or other runner channels) is toilet breaks. Occasionally it's mentioned at the beginning of long runs. But, what happens mid-runs, as there doesn't seem to be portaloos at the rest stops. Do you find a bush or something? I'm genuinely curious as I can't see myself lasting 6 or more hours without needing to at least pee!! I can manage an HM, but much longer I think would become an issue for me. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks. Or is this really an unmentionable subject?
That’s fantastic to hear! Keep me posted with how you get on ☺️
So for RTTS, I went to the loo right before the race as you’d expect, then at aid station one and at then base camp. It was so hot after that, I think I was sweating more than I could take onboard so didn’t need the loo again until after I had finished. RTTS was very well stocked with portsloos at every aid station, but I did see others using a bush just off the path when they needed to. On training runs, I don’t mind ducking into a bush as and when nature calls. ☺️
@@TheVeganRunner, thanks for the reply. Good to know they have loos at the aid stations. Is that the same for all marathons/ultras? If so that is a big relief for me. I'll keep you updated on my progress. I think it'll be next year before attempting a 50k ultra. Though who knows. Maybe one day I'll feel ready and just go for it. 🤷♂️
That’s been the case for both the marathons I’ve done and the ultra - all 3 were pretty big events though. I would imagine the smaller, local events might not be so well equipped but they will probably say in their course info what facilities they provide ☺️ Best of luck with it all 👍
@@TheVeganRunner Thanks.
We watched this last night. What a beautiful course and John in particular found resonance in the ancient trackway which people have trod for 5,000 years.
Are there shorter options for those not up to 100km?
Thanks for watching guys - it's a very special place to run, I'd love to go back and do shorter sections, in milder conditions to fully soak it all in and appreciate it. They have several options to race, 100KM non-stop, Day 1 50KM, Day 2 50K, or you can do the full 100K with 50K on Day 1, then camp overnight, and 50K the next day.
No hat?! I take it you tried to clean your lense with your shirt like I did at RTTK last year!! :) Last question... were you using the audio from your insta camera? Mine seems to have gone really bad since the latest firmware update :(
I had a hat, but didn’t need it for the first part of the race and didn’t want to get it out for the second half. The 360 can be a right pain sometimes - wish I hadn’t smashed my GoPro - annoyingly, the replacement arrived an hour after we left for RTTS 🤦♂️ Audio from 360 yes, and then cleaned up and much as possible in FCPX - it picked up a lot of wind noise 🙄
Really enjoyed watching this, you done amazing!! I am doing the 2024 RTTS 100K as my first ultra and very nervous! What do you use to film your videos? Thanks!!
Awesome! Best of luck with the training - it’s such an epic race and distance. A good training block will seeing you feeling ready for the day and hopefully, a little less nervous! For this race I used an Insta360 one x2, for most of my races I’ll use a GoPro Hero10
Thank you!!! @@TheVeganRunner
Hi Lee, just one question. Did you also follow a training schedule from 80/20 endurance for this event? I am looking for information because I'm planing to run a 100k next year.
Hi Bart - I followed the 80/20 100K Level 3 plan for this event. Tough, but felt well-prepared by the end of the block. Good luck!
What kit do you use to record your runs ?
I usually run with a GoPro HERO 10 for races but I managed to crack the screen close to race day so this time I went out with the Insta 360 One X2.
Did you defeated the blonde at 35:00.. i mean you are a man u should have....jokes aside u literally make it look easy otherwise it is the most gruelsome and brutal task one could volunteer for..more painful than any surgery
Hi Mubashir! Thanks for watching, I just caught up to her in the last mile, and passed her with about half a mile to go. We would pass one another occasionally throughout the day - leapfrogging at aid stations etc. She's an inspirational runner, I think she has podiumed in some big ultra races before this one. Totally, agree with you on the brutality of it - the heat alone made it 10 times harder than normal. I think about 500 didn't finish.
@@TheVeganRunner wow...500 didn't even finish..btw what was your position..you didnt mentioned it in the video..did you??...thankx for replying💜💜..u r such an inspiration..i will start some random 10k training schedule by the end of this week..u have motivated me enough....wish me luck.
Good luck Mubashir! I finished in 7th place overall :)
