It's finally time to run the Leadville 100!! This race has been on my dream list for awhile, and I'm very excited to run around the beautiful mountains in my home state. This video is about the Leadville Run Camp, a 3 day training event, along with some history of the race from Ken Chlouber and Merilee Maupin, the founders of the race.

Here we go!! I haven’t been in a race in well over a year, might as well start with a big one ;)

Can’t wait to follow your journey! For the past couple years I’ve still loved watching your biking adventures, but I have also missed your running videos. I first discovered your channel from the Running With Ryan series.

I can cycle 100 miles no problem but running 100 miles is not on my to do list ;) I see somebody managed to run it in 15 hours 43 mins, that is mind blowing! How long do you think it will take you Ryan, do you expect to complete it? Wishing you all the best when the time comes, I hope you can stay injury free!

@Wegortw 3 жыл бұрын

I tried reading through the comments so not to double ask the question, but… What kind of base mileage had you already been doing before attending the camp? Starting off at elevation and knocking out 10 miles then 25 and another 25 is already a huge accomplishment

@josephesalmoran6797 3 жыл бұрын

I never comment on youtube videos, but I started my running journey in February and stopped mid may due to a bit of a depressive episode. One of my goals was to be able to run a 10k then a half then a full then an ultra. I watched all your running videos, read born to run and they motivated me everyday. I was able to complete 10 miles nonstop on my longest run I was so proud of myself. I have been feeling down lately, and today I decided to go for a run after not running for weeks and weeks. Coincidentally you released this today, so I am going to take it as a sign and I will not stop until I reach my goals. You deserve a ton more subscribers! Good luck on the race and I can't wait to watch the video when it comes out!

Keep it up. Just a nice run around the block lifts a mood. 10 miles without stopping.......that is huge. Think of all the folks out there that think what you did is impossible, at least for themselves. Rock on man!

Just listening to all the people you talk to in this video, I just have to say I love get up and go people. There's so little bs, and you just know they want to do something in their lives worthwhile. I also just loved the saying on that plaque where it said: *_There are no shortcuts._* 4:19 That is so true to life itself, and it's so important to remind oneself of that very truth every single day, because we both get all our rewards AND losses as well.

Fantastic. I loved that and can't wait to watch the race. My parents originally come from a South Yorkshire, UK coal mining community. Whole mining communities in the UK were absolutely decimated in the 1980s when Thatcher "went to war" with the coal mining unions and the mines were shut. So much of the organisers story resonates with the experiences in the UK. Great work and thanks for highlighting the many positive stories and giving a voice to the good people still out there. Bravo.
