    Big thanks to the Key Cobblers for resoling the trainers and Vibram for inviting me to run the event.

      hoping for more cobbling content in future, need to get my crocs resoled with an all terrain sole 😮‍💨

    Love the story-telling & honest commentary! Trailrunning looks like a whole different beast than anything on the road.

    This is amazing! I love Speedgoats having had many pairs of every iteration except for SG1. My biggest bugbear is that the outsole wears out quickly. This could be a game-changer! Thanks very much. 🙌🏼👌🏼🤙🏼

    Great video. Baking hot day. We were in the Gwynant working on our place as the runners went by. They looked so exhausted that we gave them our water. The runners all did fantastically well in the gruelling conditions. Respect to every one of them

    I know where to take my Redwings now for a resole. They've been sitting in the cupboard for four years, waiting to be resoled.

    Dude. I always see people comment about RUclips suggestions and they’re pleasantly surprised by discovering something new. I now know what they mean. This is so sick, can’t wait for more!

    Cool video well done. I plan to register for the 50k (which i understand is 56k) in 2025. All routes look epic.

    Mental day, that heat really was difficult I had to get in the river on the last 8k cause I seriously felt that heat stroke was round the corner ahah

    • @Daaaanjj

      join the club, that boggy part after the aid station was a rough period. Was gassed to find a little stream to cool down in 😮‍💨

    Really enjoyed your video summary of UTS25K 👍🏼
    I was the chap in the blue hat in front of you at the start 👌🏼.
    It was My first ever trail event (Hiker trying to do trail running) .
    Didnt realise how tough it would be . After the aid station i was out on my feet and plodded through the bog ,felt i was going backwards as tonnes of people passed me to eventually getting to the top .
    Once i knew i was safe i chilled and got in at 4hrs44min.
    Hardest thing ive done . Minimal training didnt help 😂.
    Looking forward to the next event

    How much would the re-sole cost?

    • @Daaaanjj
      @Daaaanjj  2 месяца назад +1

      believe it costs about £60 including the sole itself and the labour. Quite a timely process really hence the cost
