    What a great win! You mentioned that you ran this before and recalled how you felt then and now so much stronger! Awesome. So you missed 3 km. Hffp…. great mental training to push on!

    • @ultrarunneradam
      @ultrarunneradam  2 года назад +1

      Yes def felt stronger - it was one of my first ultras so Ive learnt loads and getting much better confidence - 50 is a tough one to pace as you get to the marathon milestone and the mental demons start playing a few tricks!

    Thanks for posting the video and well done for sticking with it. That takes some doing to have a complete mind reset after the setback, to refocus and carry on when it would have been easy to think “sod it, I’m going home” . Nice one.

    Gutted for you Adam! I feel your pain, something like a wrong turn (which isn't always your fault) really hits the confidence and is hard to shake. Well done for pressing on and making the most of it. Bet your next race will be super smooth!

    • @ultrarunneradam
      @ultrarunneradam  2 года назад +1

      Next race is the Snowdon Sky Race this weekend so far from smooth 😂 I was gutted - even left my keys in the taxi on the way home - thanks for watching!

    Absolutely inspiring stuff boss! It really is great to see a ultra runner of your caliber getting the job done! Just awesome to see the determination and how you push through the tough times. Such a shame about the mistake and the time penalty and like you say slightly harsh for a 1 hour for 3 miles that near the start probably should have gone with 40 or 45 minutes. Despite that you absolutely nailed it boss! 😎🤘🏻

    Well done to you all for sticking it out Adam! I remember getting very confused when I passed you for a 2nd time, thought it must have been your twin or something, it was only near the end I heard talk of the ‘naughty nine’ at an aid station and realised what had happened 😅 You’ll have to return next year and put it right!

    • @ultrarunneradam

    Well done Adam this is what happens occasionally. It happened to me in a trail marathon at Seaford. Very foggy day and about 30 runners all went the wrong way and ended up arriving at the start again after only 3 miles 😂 . What can you do, nothing you’re powerless - it’s a bit like that horrible feeling when you’ve just been flashed by a speed camera - that happened to me last week- shit happens! 😱😂

    • @ultrarunneradam
      @ultrarunneradam  2 года назад +1

      Yup shit happens - its was also trying to work out that it really didnt matter in the scheme of things but still fell bad - took some time to get over it.

  • @arsebiscuitsandwine
    @arsebiscuitsandwine 2 года назад

    Nice work Adam, It's good too see the perspective when things go right to shit but there is still a finish and good times. A lot of high level runners seem to either have amazing days or just completely ditch and DNF. It's good to see the balance.
    It's also bloody nice to live vicariously through parasocial RUclips running buddies. I'm injured right now so I just sit back and watch the "RUclips running club" run instead 😂

    • @ultrarunneradam
      @ultrarunneradam  2 года назад

      We heard a shout out but ignored it as runners were still behind us. Mine doesnt bleep but pops up on screen so I must have been another planet - once we pickuped the trail I guess I started looking at my watch - who knows.
