Chasing the sunrise at Aiguille du Midi | Training for TDS at UTMB | Ep 6 | Run4Adventure
Рет қаралды 5,725
Жыл бұрынI took the cameras along on another epic training run for the TDS at UTMB, but this time we went up the other side of the valley from the campsite and followed the path of the 2nd highest cable car in the world - Aiguille du Midi! However, this training run was quite different to all the other runs I've done so far because we set off under the cover of darkness at 4.30am. There were two reasons for this - the first one being that the TDS starts at midnight so we'll be running through the night until the sun comes up, so it was good practice for the race. Secondly, I was testing out a waist lighting system from Nitecore which is a combination of their BLT10 running belt and their 400 lumens UT05 waist light. This training run is definitely worth a watch because I personally think I had some of the most stunning views of the trip so far, you can't beat running up a mountain as the sun comes up!
Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

Loving the series at Chamonix... I wonder whether you can cover in a video the complicated qualification and entry process with the new lottery/stones system? I think would be super useful for lots of people. I'm keen to try and enter OCC next summer myself...

Another great video. I did that route in reverse two days after the TDS. Unfortunately a DNF at Beaufort for me. My first two nighter and was feeling really tired. Also a bit nauseous for the first time ever. Wish I had gone on now and seen how I felt after dawn broke. Hopefully do it again some day. I got two sets of Harrier poles (one trekking and one running) and the Compressport belt for the poles after looking at your videos. Both are great.

Loved the vid again Loyd! Will be in Chamonix for UTMB week myself as well, but probably not able to join the shakeout run unfortunately. Would be cool to bump into you any other time of the week. Good luck at TDS and enjoy!!!

Went out for a run tonight, first run since covid two weeks ago, just a couple of km. Feel like there is a lot of work to do, though glad to get my motivation back. Been struggling mentally since the end May when I finished the Edinburgh marathon. Felt like I was back tonight 😊. Good luck with TDS Loyd!
@jamstaa69 Жыл бұрын
It’s hard being knocked out because of covid or injury, and a challenge getting back in, especially when you notice your gains may have slid.. feel like I’ve been on a roller coaster with gains and losing them to injury and other stuck making it hard to get out the door. Good luck fella keep ya chin up. Well done with Edinburgh.. did that once, would love to do it again.

@Run4Adventure - Hi Lloyd, I'm heading out to Chamonix in a few weeks and would like to do this route. Can you remember roughly how long it took to get to the refuge? Cheers, Tom
@Run4Adventure Жыл бұрын
It obviously comes do to how fast you can move in the mountains but it's a pretty good trail up to the refuge so I'd say around 2hrs 👍 It's a great route, hope you have a wonderful time in Chamonix 🏃♂️⛰️ Loyd
