  • The SwissPeaks 360k is a trail running race that travels more than 360 km (224 miles) across the Swiss Alps, climbing over 26,000 metres (87,000 feet). Runners have up to 160 hours to complete the race, refuelling at the 31 minor aid stations, with the option to sleep at any of the 6 major life bases along the way. My goal would be to finish in between roughly 100-120 hours, and to sleep around 6-7 hours over the 4 to 5 day period. This was my second race over 200 miles, and I swore to myself that I would never try to do it again.

    I realize that this was already 2 years ago but it still boggles my mind how you not got totally lost or hurt during your night runs in those mountains.

      Did the Swisspeak and other 200+ milers and recovery looks like that:
      Complete rest for few days with terrible or no-sleep for the first nights. Cramps and DOMS.
      Eat as much as you can, ice bath and massage.
      Walk around for a week or so.
      Week 3: swim and walk
      Week 4: swim and cycle
      Week 5: try running again

    What is especially amazing, is that despite the astonishing feat of endurance, you keep it humble and understated. The total elevation ascended is mind boggling. Oh - and you manage to shoot great footage as well. Great channel, glad the algorithm suggested it, I am hooked 👏🏼.

    Jaw dropping footage with an excellent commentary. Jeff’s films are a healthy mixture of his personal journey along with event information and a travel guide for those considering them. His mood is calming and positive even when exhausted! This is very Tor like (which is a great film) with more advanced mapping that compliments the beautiful landscape recordings. Easy to watch and inspiring! Class 👍

    Found and watched a few of your films now, I am an ex marathon runner who just got in to hiking.. I love what you do! When you said you only film at your highs, makes total sense to me! When you want to roll over and just sleep on trail seems easier but you don't... love it!
