Always good to catch some further tips from you. Love your passion for all of this and your encouragement of others 👌

"I remember my first time" hahah, you got me on that one. Just received a bunch of Spring Energy gels. Can't wait to try them! Of course, used your code. Keep the videos coming!

As always, more useful advice per minute than any other channel out there. Thanks Sage!

Great points- just completed 1st marathon, 4K' elev on trails of NC...the time on feet is so important to remember, thanks to the Sage-running base plan !!

Yay!!!! I have been tirelessly searching for your videos. Today's a good day! Instantly subscribed.

Broooooooo..... I love this channel!! Thanks for all you do for us!!!

Thanks for the tips! I hope to be running an ultra later this year! As long as it doesn't get cancelled...

Nice video. I'm thinking of moving on from road marathons to off-road and the info on equipment was particularly helpful

Perfect vid for today. First 50K coming up tomorrow! Thanks for all the tips & tricks Sage

so happy to come on and see this video thanks so much Sage

The picture of you and Sandi is awesome 👍😍

Nice tips and footage in between. Thanks Sage!

Good stuff thanks for sharing Sage. Currently training around 200kms per month to prepare for an Ultra Trail Run. Just increasing training and trying to progress slowly, patience is essential here. Congrats from a fellow vegan take care!

I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing!

I remember my first trail half marathon (after already completing a full road marathon). I thought I was going to smash it out at my normal road pace. I was so wrong. It has been my only race where I thought I might quit after 16 km. But I got to the end and loved it. Been running trail ultras ever since.

I'm sitting here three months off my knee due to failing to heed Sage's advice: do not over train. Love watching the videos though it's scratching an itch.

Great video! Thanks for sharing your passion!

Great video Sage thank you. Never ran over 20 miles and doing 50 miles tomorrow solo on the west highland way in Scotland. You are a legend and a gentleman... thank you again

In the future I definitely going to try ultra thanks for the tips! I will save this video for the future haha

Yo great vid. I’d hate doing an ultra through terrain like your new hair style! Haha. Love your channel

Finding the perfect ultra shoe takes a lot of research. I love my Hoka One One Challenger ATR 5s.

Hi Sage, I’ve been doing a 30k long run once a week for over a year now in my training, this week I felt really good at 30k so I thought I’ll give my first 50k distance ago, I took half banana, hand fill of dates nuts & raisins, one gel, & just held a bottle of water in each hand, got to 43k & my Garmin watch started going flat, felt really good but, got put off when battery went flat, so I did 44k over 800m elevation, I was waiting for my legs to tier out but felt good all the way, it’s amazing how over time doing a regular 30k easy pace run, all of a sudden feels like my legs can handle a 50k distance, cool feeling, thanks Sage 😀👍🍀🌳🌲🏃🏼‍♂️✌️

Cool thank you!!!! I’m a newbie ultra training marathon runner !

COOL STUFF Thanks Sage!

Congratulations!

Looking for a vid like this, cheers!

A handheld also costs more energy to haul along. A vest keeps the weight of your fluid close to your center of mass.... I heard that from a researcher on The Science of Ultra podcast... A great podcast.

Thanks Sage!

Transictioning from marathon...I'll be doing 80km Wicklow eco trail in September...thanks for advices

Plug for the BQ marathon plan Sage and Sandy have!!! Tough so be ready but will get you there!!!!!

Two of my races - Miner's Lady 8-Hour (July) and JFK 50-miler (November) haven't been canceled yet. Keeping the motivation to do the training is hard though.

thank you sir

Good video, I remember for my first ultra I transition from 10k's to 53k. I definitely think ultra's are great fun if you enjoy running.

Was NOT prepared for that intro hahaha

Já Very fantastic

I'm signed up for my first 50 mile in November, and it's through the Ozark Mountains with a 14 hour cutoff. I think it's gonna be close.

I run mid distance why am I here still a banging vid tho :)

Does Hoka make any blue suede shoes there Sage Presley? Your quarantine do has got me all shook up. ;)

Hey Coach, great vid's you have here, a real treasure trove on tips and advice! Many thanks for the help! I have a question, my trail shoe for the past couple of years has been the speed goat, but I'm finding that for me. the toe box is just not wide enough. My Road shoe, Bondi6, works very well for me, so My question is, which trail shoe has the same grip as at the speed goat will give me the same room as the Bondi6? Thanks Coach!

When tom cruise join to ultra marathon and giving advice in youtube

Hey Sage, in your opinion does pronation slow you down or is it simply a protection mechanism and has no effect on how fast you get? Wondering if I need to fix it or not

so its starting to turn into summer which means its really hot, and these past couple days i was running and my body just wants to shut down because im constantly getting beat down by the heat and the sun, so i was just wondering if theres any way to fix that because it is definitely demotivating me to run and i want to have fun so i can do great for cross country.

How do you calculate your pace? I have experience running road marathons and have a good idea of what is a sustainable pace for that distance but have never gone further than 30 miles in training. I want to run my first 100km race next summer. Can I just add a couple of minutes/mile to my marathon pace? Also, how far should my longest training run be leading up to the 100km race?

Will you do a sub 1:10 HM tips video?

Hi Sage...thanks for a great video full of excellent advice. Please allow me to return the favor...have a look into your audio recording setup. Audio is very washed out with a lot of room reflections in the mid/high frequency ranges...not a big deal but a little attention to your audio will go a long way in improving the overall quality of your videos!

When running 40-50 miles a week how would you spread that out over 7 days? Like is it running every day or longer runs every other day or even shorter ones twice a day or does it not matter

are there rules for helpers? ... can a runner have their own water/food stop helpers?

Could you make a video about why aren't there more Kenyans running ultras?

Training for my first 100km called the Fox Tail 100 in AUG however I THINK IT WILL BE CANCELLED. I'm going to run the distance anyway :)

Perfect timing on the video, Sage! I'm currently training for a Bday Miles adventure trail run of (gulp) 33 miles, which will be my first ultra-distance run. I have just under 2 months left, and I felt great on my long run of 14.6 miles last Saturday. What do you think would be a reasonable peak long run distance before the actual 33 miler? The training plan I'm loosely following (from Trail Runner Mag) has me working up to 25 miles, but I wonder if that's a little short? Interested in your thoughts, maybe this isn't the most important element of training to consider and, for example, consistency is key here...

Good work, some day you might catch up to that Seth guy on youtube that beat your records, what an absolute superstar. This still looks bit like 2005ish.

how much time do you think is enough inbetween 50miler races?

Tom Petty FTW!

Around what age do most people start moving to ultras from the marathon

So that camelbak version takes the hard bottles in the front pouches ? , Thankyou

Ugh...I actually shuddered when you said an ultra on a treadmill. Lol What attracts me to ultra running is getting out on the trails. (I've been a hiker for years. ) I'm going to try to build up from my 11 mile mountain race in Sept (hopefully not canceled) to a 50k next fall. And ignore the hair haters- it's your great advice I watch for, not your hair style! Lol

I’m running 60 miles a week, with a 15 mile long run, and 2 interval workouts per week. I run 7 days a week, what do you expect I will run in the 5k when I peak in October?

Also ..be prepared to loose lots of weight... off your shoulders..STRESS!

You wanna practice trail running, move to West Yorkshire, UK, where I am, aint no such thing as flat ha

1 marathon = 2 x half marathon 1 ultra = 2 x marathon Sad but true... 🤔 50k is fun run....

Make sure to get your meth to pace ratio right, otherwise you're gonna break every record and be investigated

1st

I hear some aid stations have alcohol 😂

Ultras are way to far for me man...

You need a haircut bad.
