I Broke the Rules - 100 Mile Ultramarathon Training Vlog - Lakeland 100 & Lakeland 50

100 Mile Ultramarathon Training Vlog - Week 4 - Lakeland 100 & Lakeland 50 Ultra Trail Marathon

Not the best of weeks as far as running goes, but the first North East Harrier League cross country fixture cheered me up!

'The Lakeland 100 ‘Ultra Tour of the Lake District’ is the most spectacular long distance trail race which has ever taken place within the UK. The circular route encompasses the whole of the lakeland fells, includes in the region of 6300m of ascent and consists almost entirely of public bridleways and footpaths. The route starts in Coniston and heads South before completing a clockwise loop which takes in the Dunnerdale fells, Eskdale, Wasdale and Buttermere before arriving in Keswick. From here the route heads to Matterdale and continues over to Haweswater before returning via Kentmere, Ambleside and Elterwater to the finish at Coniston.'

Big shout out to everyone who supports me over on Ko-Fi. It's such an awesome feeling when the notification comes through. It's so generous of you. Thank you 🙏

[jwilkinson]

What a week! Well done. Hope next week goes to plan 😊
XC sounds good…
Loving the vlog Gary, it’s mint!
Also, I have just the bird app you need on my phone, haha ask Lisa 🤣

Good to see you on Saturday. Had a bad few months for life getting in the way and making excuses so using the club to get those harder sessions in during the week and am trying to get to some gym classes with Mrs A for some S and C. Short version... train with others!

It's hard fitting in those sessions sometimes, just adapt to the situation & move on the best you can. Nightmare with the 💩 but it did make me smile 😀I've not done cross country since school, not really a thing up here. Good job on making the most of the week Gary, it looked as if you did well with it 👍

Yo Gary I love these videos. Nice to hear how a similar age dude is handling things. You crushed the x-country! Well done. Glad you didn’t have to “learn a lesson” from doing the 20-20-20.

Another good vlog, good to see someone else cramming it all into one part of the week. Missed cross country looking forward to some of the other fixtures. Blackhill bounders for the win 😏😉

Hi Gary, new subscriber and loving the vlogs. I also have the Montane pack and hated the straps, so I bought the Salomon bungees off Amazon for 5 pounds and they retro fit this pack, now it’s a 10 out of 10.

Hi Gary, I don't normally comment on videos etc... but thoroughly enjoying the channel, you clearly put so much time in and it shows, love the honesty about life getting in the way, I'll be pinching some of the workouts as I too return to Lakeland next year, an easy 50 for me after a 37hr 100 back in July, but i guess any finish is a good finish, all the best and also love the podcast

[marksammon]

Hi Gary, I have the same vest. If you contact Montane they have new ones with a loop on the end instead of that silly clip

Gary, im training for my first ever event. The urban ultra at sunderland and have been thinking of getting a watt bike, as swift is something thats always interested me, i know you sometimes use swift, is it a good tool for training for endurance running?
