Kudos to Audree for showing the highs and lows of running, especially when feeling rock bottom. All the best to both of you and safe travels for TMB.

Aww, that brave smile right after the DNF is heart breaking💔 Get well soon, Audrée! Loved the crewing perspective btw. Would watch any time.

Rare Kilian sighting haha. What a beautiful place and hoping for a good recovery to Audree! Good decision to listen to stuff like that early for sure.

Great video, thank you ! We were in Grindelwald last weekend also and were up at First later on Saturday afternoon - it was a very hot day... We watched the torchlights of all the runners coming down the Eiger trail later that night from our chalet - it looked a fabulous course. Hope Audrée recovers quickly .

She is such a cheerful warrior. I have been having a similar pain on the bottom of my foot which is worsened by walking in sandles. I hope she gets better soon. I’m going to rest my feet as I have a 100k race in Colorado coming up! Have fun out there!

@tatjanakueth5278 11 ай бұрын

Sorry for Audrée, but better to stop rather than to push through and make a bad situation worse. So recover well and you’ll be good to go in September!

I was blessed to visit Grindelwald and First in June 2022 and it was as beautiful as this video. There cliff walk was great and we got to ride mountain carts halfway down the mountain and mountain scooters the rest of the way back down to Grindelwald.

Id just like to say to both of you, but especially Audree, that seeing the whole story (including the non-completions) is one of the big attractions to your channel. I like a lot that we see a real story; a real picture; not some ‘influencer’, fake, glamorous story. What you two do feels totally unachievable to me. I’m an active person, but at 55, I don’t have an aspiration to run an ultra. But seeing the highs and lows that you two go though is so motivating. Much more motivating than some shallow, feel-good story. So thank you for sharing your journey with us - the highs and the lows. I hope you recover quickly Audree. And I look forward to your next update.

Thanks for sharing this awesome video about my home country. I live now in New Zealand, my other home country but do miss the Swiss Alps a lot. I did the 35km Eiger race last year as a preparation race and I'll surely sign up for the 100km at one point. Hope Audree gets well soon!

@Kaisersozze 2 ай бұрын

6:29 man shots like this are insane. Just wow. I watched some other ultra racer say they don't like being asked how they're feeling. If they're feeling bad they don't want to talk about it cause its not going to help anyway and if they're good then their good and they just want to keep going no point talking about it.

I was there and it was brutal! I dropped the 101k at the mid point and did the “50k” which turns out to be 62k at that point and I was toast. So much hotter than I anticipated.

I discovered your channel a few months ago when I suffered a knee injury. I now enjoy your videos during my training with the indoor bike while dreaming of being back on mountain trails! Watching you is helping me to keep my motivation high. I hope Audrée will get better soon! Good luck…

I recently had my first DNF due to time out, with a lot less impressive distance, at UTS 50k, and it hurt more than I thought.. I’d never even contemplated not finishing.. took a little while to accept. Well done with what you did do, and think you did the right thing. Hope for a speedy recovery.. and enjoy a little rest on your trip.

Hi Jeff and Audrée. I had the pleasure of meeting you while walking to the start. I later spoke to you and Audrée again under more unpleasant circumstances right before the aid station at 70km before she had to abandon the race (I was the guy walking and talking with Audrée at 13:36). I‘m glad Audrée‘s foot ist not as bad as it seemed at that point and she can recover quickly. It was really nice to meet you both and I wish the race had ended for Audrée under better circumstances.

Still a queen, champion and a warrior!!! 🎉💪 Before I found your channel and the UTMB videos I barely knew that someone could even do that, and watching you 2 running those kind of distances blew my mind! I love trail running but I've been struggling with only 10km for years due to a persistant knee injury, and now an injury in the same foot (and aprox the same day) as Audrée on a hiking trail in the mountains of Korsika 😂 A little nervous now that I have a 10k race in september... Anyways, if you knew what an inspiration you two are for me ❤❤❤ wish Audrée the best in her recovery!! 🤗

@AMuell13 11 ай бұрын

Audree passed me on the climb from Burglauenden to Wengen and I saw her again at the medical support in Männlichen. About one year ago I also had to stop the Eiger Ultra at this place. So I came back this year to get this "monster" done. Raced UTMB in 2022 and TDS in 2019 - we're following the same rhythm. Enjoy your stay!
