Trail & Ultra Running Thread

Have to say the stream is not as good as last year in terms of a jerky feed - I guess there are more people watching . latency etc .

yeah I’m not even watching. I’m listening and feel like I’m getting the same amount of info.

Woke up to Ruth Croft being in 12 OA, she’s having a brilliant race.

12th OA 17:21:30 :clap::clap::clap:

Apparently the men’s winner Adam Peterman has never run 100 miles before. Amazing performance 15:13:47.

Good to see the pro’s sticking it out even if not having a great day (by their standards)

its been great to follow hasn’t it . It will be 50 years next year - would be great to be picked out of the ballot for that one.

I did not realise next year would be 50

That would indeed be good

I love the sound of the guy who announces the runners as they enter the track

10 mins to go to close out for 24 hr buckle :scream:

So many US runners run with handheld bottles. I have never used them but I would have thought that they are so much less efficient than running with the bottles in a pack?

I’ve noticed that. Pixie Ninja uses one as well.

hash browns at the aid stations? I’d never leave :joy:

Don’t suppose anyone knows if Ryan Clayton has finished? I like his channel.

Scrub that: I thought he was racing, think he’s out there as press.

There are a lot of runners still out on that course - Golden hour is going to be interesting.

Being dragged out by family so going to have to wait Golden Hour back later :tired_face:

Did you see the old clip about Gunhild Swanson? I’d seen it before but forgot close it was.

yep me too - was crazy close.

Wonder if anyone will be fighting their way to the finish line through someone else’s support team - that would do my head in .

Yeah I was watching earlier where an entourage took up the whole line and didn’t quite spoil it for the guy behind (from Ireland) but was pretty close.

I have spent far too much time following this race this year…
