Can confirm that the Blackcomb portion for the 110km racers was brutal. Sleet, heavy fog, nighttime - zero viz still in shorts 😂 I was having horrible flashbacks watching this except I couldn’t see anything the entire race so it was actually really nice to see all the views I didn’t get to see. Congrats again Jam.
Thanks Jamil for 'taking us with you', always love your footage & commentary when you're actually participating! The "parade" comment totally cracked me up :-D
these videos make me excited to want to get up and run tomorrow. Incredible that you're able to just bang out 100 miles like that... hats off to you, sir.
The course looks unreal. Gary Robbins is managing some of the most awesome events on the continent. Thanks for the content and your commitment to covering this sport- arguably, one of the cornerstones of human competition. Tribe!
awesome as always - thanks for taking us along. Blows my mind that you can finish a hundred, and still be running at the end, on such low training mileage. Proof that a multi-year foundation and mental toughness is the key to ultras, not short term mileage. Would love to do one of Gary's shorter runs one day.
I was in awe of how many potatoes you could eat at an aid station! The speed and efficiency was next level! It took me like 10 minutes to eat 1 pancake 😂
Did some quick back of the napkin math. Jamil does 100 mile race on 18 mile avg weeks, I am currently in 270 mile shape. Oh and I am pretty good at math LOL
Hi, can I ask from where you get all that very nice background tunes. Almost in all your videos, the music is so nice and gentle to the correct level. Oh also, I am one of your regular viewers.Please keep up the great work. Cheers from Ireland, Jamil.
Hey your channel changed my life. Gotta ask, is that you making the music? I’ve been wondering forever now and am just posting to most recent video. Thanks for your insannnnnne ambition.
Man, talk about some gorgeous views! I'm curious, for this particular run, what percentage are you actually running? There's a lot of terrains that looks like it's more hiking/climbing. Nice video!
@@legitlee8359 I don't do any ultra running. The most I have ever run is a half marathon and it's been only around the Houston Area (FLAT Terrain.) That's why I'm curious.
@@pacomontoya Oh I see,well in that case I'll explain. When running an ultra ita very rare you can actually run all of it because of the terrain and the climbs involved. I've ran a few and never ran the whole of one of them. It's only flat courses that people will run 100% of,and still thats mainly only the elite that can do it
@@legitlee8359 Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to explain. I think the one thing that would ever drive me to do one of these would be the beautiful scenery.
I'd like to one day get into ultra running after my road racing career is over but I am extremely confused on how you know where to go?!? how do you not get lost
There are makings such as flagging tape of pin flags placed in the ground relatively close together where there is often always one in sight. Or there is just one trail to follow for long stretches there wouldn't be another route to take!
Nice video, thanks. One question, @runsteepgethigh : As such an hardcore runner that you are, may I ask why are you still wearing your old blue Suunto instead of upgrading to something newer, more precise with more features, etc? I’m sort of a watchnut, that’s why I’m asking. Keep up the great work!
@@8draco8 Funny you should say that...cause I'm actually in my recording studio making this observation...and the balance is still extreme. My first observation was with headphones though:)

Whistler Alpine Meadows - wow - must visit
Wow, Gary's been seriously busy organizing these races. I can't imagine how much time and energy is required for such an undertaking.
those shots above the cloud line were just epic
Thank you for showing us it is possible
Gary Robbins is such a highlight of ultra. He is such a hard worker for the sport and not just a race smasher.. love that dude.
I helped flag for WAM. “ Confidence flagging” is how Gary described it!
Thanks Jamil for 'taking us with you', always love your footage & commentary when you're actually participating! The "parade" comment totally cracked me up :-D
Those course markings cracked me up. It was like he had an extra 200 markers and just decided to stick them everywhere. Beautiful looking course.
Holy heck! You all are so impressive!
Wow! The views on this race were incredible.
Thanks so much for sharing.
these videos make me excited to want to get up and run tomorrow. Incredible that you're able to just bang out 100 miles like that... hats off to you, sir.
Well... there’s another one that goes on the “must run” list! Gorgeous!!
Damn Jamil. 104mi off the couch. You sir, are a machine! Well done and thanks for bringing us along!
"I've got some things to talk to you about." 😂 Love it, looks like an awesome course!!
Effin love these videos Jamil

at least you weren't overtrained! Kudo's, Jamil! thank you for taking us along! hope to see you soon in the San Juans! head bowed,
Wow! What a beautiful course. I might actually be able to follow that sort of course marking!

Gary marks the course like he wishes Barkley was marked.
Haha! My thought as well.
For sure!

Yaaaas!!!! Your videos are so great to watch, good music, calming scenery, and you have such a great character.
Thanks, Jamil! Great content, well done!
Dude!!! @7:34... amazing!!!
Thanks for making the last minute effort. Always appreciate your vids. Keep it steep, keep it moving, and def keep filming!
Currently and for long the best tail videos on youtube
I love your videos, truly inspiring for beginner trail runners like me!!!
What a gorgeous race and awesome job for you to finish in that time with not so much training! Thanks for sharing it with all of us
“....Gary Robbins.....let’s talk about your course marking bro...”
007samd 😂
Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Congratulations young Gun , great to notice the fitness level of the USA and Canadian citizens.
Oh no, yet another reason to visit BC. They keep on coming!
Awesome Jamil 😎. Beautiful course. Thank you for sharing. Is such inspiration for people like me to watch these journeys.
Awesome. The course looks amazing.
That view at the top of Whistler Peak was AMAZING!!! Add this race to the bucket list! Great job Jamil!
What a great optimistic attitude! Great video
Good to see you back as usual the content is of high quality What views!!
Now that was a spectacular view @ 7:50
Wow, absolutely beautiful course! Thanks much for sharing!
Well done.
You're an absolute beast doing that with that little training!
And was so - " Matter of fact" about the whole race- Chill
*87 miles to go* "yeah my legs are feeling tired". That's a hard spot to be in
Awesome! Great to see another race vlog. Thanks, Jamil
Did some quick back of the napkin math. Jamil does 100 mile race on 18 mile avg weeks, I am currently in 270 mile shape.
Oh and I am pretty good at math LOL
Benjamin Lee ultra math has a much lower standard.
50 mile weeks, nice work.
Really enjoyed this video! You made it look incredibly easy despite that not being the case. Well done 👏🏻
Amazing work, admire how calculated you were from the start. Stunning trails, always inspiring!
Who's excited to watch someone run 100 mile...woooo.
Awesome video!! Thank you for making this
That view from the top was amazing!
Great video, what a fantastic part of the world
You make it look easy! Such a great vid, thank you for sharing!
Loved the video. WAM 100 looks like it’s going on my list...
Great vid, thx 4 posting it!
That inversion layer almost made me cry :D
Gary seems like a very nice legitimately caring guy.
Great effort well done Jamil
I am sure you will be back this year for more WAM action. Great video and such a beautiful scenery.
Nice video, thanks. That course looks very nice.
AWESOME!
Wish this was an hour long
Amazing views. Thanks for sharing
Great video!
Awesome job as always!!
Hi, can I ask from where you get all that very nice background tunes. Almost in all your videos, the music is so nice and gentle to the correct level. Oh also, I am one of your regular viewers.Please keep up the great work. Cheers from Ireland, Jamil.
Sweet views
Missed your race videos Jam Jam.
Wicked!
Hey your channel changed my life. Gotta ask, is that you making the music? I’ve been wondering forever now and am just posting to most recent video. Thanks for your insannnnnne ambition.
We license all of our music from Epidemic Sound!
Ohhhhh nice! if this is Jamil thanks! On a treadmill as i reply lol
Any plans of being a ws100 qualifier? We need more of thise in canada (and utmb points)
seems like long distances between AS.. what pack u wore how much water did u carry and what type of food?great video jealous!
do u carry bear mace on this run?
What red jacket are you wearing in the early morning?
marking may look ridiculous but with 5 feet visibility in thick fog I'm sure it's necessary ...
Stephan Frion exactly. Gary doesn't want racers getting lost up there in the fog!
For sure. Some reflectors would be a good addition next year!
Run Steep Get High Bromont at 4am in the rain and fog everyone got lost, even the course designer 😂
What are trail naps? Did you actually nap?
Man, talk about some gorgeous views! I'm curious, for this particular run, what percentage are you actually running? There's a lot of terrains that looks like it's more hiking/climbing. Nice video!
You new to ultra running?

@@pacomontoya no worries buddy,you should try one some day,you won't regret it 💪👍
I think someone made a mistake when ordering markers and got way more then intended, but then decided to use them all to say it was intentional :)

What camera gear you use ?
Who was the one dislike????
😉😉😉😍
How dislike?
Huge discrepancy in volume between music and narration...hard to enjoy sadly🙁
Awesome job suffering and chronicling your experience for us as always👍🍻
Will work on it. Thanks for the feedback
Are you sure about that? Because on decent set of studio monitors it sounds fine.
Yes sounds fine here in the UK !
No issues here. It was totally fine. Perhaps buy new headphones or speakers?
