Curious about how to train and run an ultra marathon? Welcome to my ultra running training VLOG - Episode 10. This series shows what it takes to run ultra marathon, providing you honest and uncensored details as I train and race for 100 miles ultra marathon every month for the third year. This is a 'behind the scene' view showing the imperfection but the reality of ultra running. This episode covers 2 weeks, including recovery from Angeles Crest 100 miles, taper, and my latest ultra marathon - Leadville 100 miles.

Another running VLOG episode, another 2 weeks cycle between 100 miler! This summer of mountain racing is pretty intense to say the least. But it's almost over too... But what a summer! With Leadville 100 miles this week, this is the last 'summer race' - which started with Bighorn, QMT, Tahoe Rim Trail, Angeles Crest and Leadville - over the spam of less than 3 months! And Leadville is the best way to close this chapter!

Based on accumulated fatigue, and simply not having had a great race at Angeles Crest - I decided to slow down a little in this 2 weeks cycle. Focusing mostly on recovery, tapering, and altitude acclimatation.

The race went Ok. Not my best but not my worst Leadville. And importantl, now 3 days out, I'm feeling great. Which is important because although summer is over, we have some pretty epic adventures coming up in a few weeks.

Next race is Tor Des Geants in the Italian Alps. 200 miles, 80k feet of elevation gain. Crazy race - probably the toughest challenge I'll ever face. And before that with nora, we'll be fastpacking the famous Tour du Mont-Blanc. Same as the 100 miles race, but doing it by ourselves.

As always - Thanks for watching and remember -

Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits!
