On October 31st, 2020, I attempted my first 100-mile run...the biggest item on my bucket list to date. I worked with my family and close friends to self-support the race from my childhood home in Virginia and I could never thank them enough for all they did that weekend. Here's a very special recap of how it all went down!
+ a massive thank you to my good friend and badass Jeff Loope for taking the time to edit together the footage of a weekend I will never ever forget.

This was awesome. I've ran a half marathon , now going for a full. I run 4-5 times a week as is. Started a year and a half ago and lost 45lbs within six months. Took a 2 month break only running 5 times a month due to relocating to a new home and this record high extreme heat this summer. I live in South Florida . 37 y/o male. Im considering a 100 miler hopefully for 2024. Loved your video but you scared me at the end with the crutches ( asking myself is this even healthy ). But one things for sure im crazy enough to try. Thanks for the video , hope all is well. #miami #floridakeys

@gofarsogood 10 ай бұрын

Hey! I'm glad you found this video and fully believe you can get to the 100! If it helps, I used to crutches because we had them - probably could've been fine without. Within a few days I was much better. Also - a lot of 100s are on trail, not pavement, and I was mostly on pavement for mine.

THANK you for the advice, and hard-earned wisdom, you are quite inspiring, Coach Holly! You ROCK!!

(@9.38) "This is crazy. This is the farthest I've ever run - 50.20". Yep! Crazy for sure. I recall doing a fifty fiver back in August last year - first one ever. There's NO WAY I'd have considered upping my game straight to a hundred right after though. Bonkers!

How was that running for that long in cold weather? I'm good running in cold weather for a short period of time but if it goes more than 12 hours I lose control of my temperature regulation and can get cold fast. Was that an issue for you?

Haha, I am pretty proud of doing my 100 miler (unassisted)...except, I did mine on a road bike. I was heavily under-nutritioned and was cramping really bad the last 10-15 miles. Apparently peanut butter and jelly sandwiches each 25 miles wasn’t the ideal nutrition plan. What can I say, I decided to do it on a Thursday and did it in a little over 8 hrs on Saturday. Can’t imagine doing it running. So impressive!

@robdevine4361 3 жыл бұрын

Even famous fat adapted ultra runners like Zach Bitter cycle some carbs into super long efforts. I would also say that I’m not sure why Holly would trade her fitness and strength for your view of leanness. Any dramatic diet change would probably be more likely to compromise her strength and endurance.

Thanks Rob! Yes, it was pretty wild doing this on my own, outside of a race setting. Looking forward to finding out the difference myself one day :)

@marknoble4538 Жыл бұрын

What was your longest long runs when training? I’m training for a 100 mile race and the program has been running 5 30 one day then 20 the next. Is that enough?

@gofarsogood Жыл бұрын

Yeah definitely! That’s perfect doing back to back 30 and 20 days. Once you’ve got a good system to last through those, you don’t need to keep pushing it for a bunch of reps. It’ll beat you up. You’ll be ready!!
