Two years on.... and half way in to Covid 19 Ive just finished my first 50k and trying to find new routes is some thing your will be doing as there's now lots of restless people out there walking dogs, cats and tables lol.... so you'll be out there running long distances or loops like me to avoid people... and using the trail is a good way of strengthening your ankles and calves and without knowing helps your hill work - good luck every one and stay safe if you're watching this now.... 2020

Man I'm gonna just have a long day in the woods!!! Love that!💚🙏 Will definitely use that sir... Great mind set 😀🤗👊💪🌄🏃🏃

"A cheerful Heart and a cheerful face", that's exactly the state to BE in. It eases the pain and lightens others. Matt has a wonderful attitude.

"The only thing you can do 9 days before the event is hurt yourself. " that's brilliant, I needed that! Great video, planning my first ultra for 2021. Hopefully covid will be under control by then!

Thank you for this beautifully put together video! Loved the footage and the advice. Getting ready to sign up for my very first 50k in December! Am super excited about it!

Nice video and great tips. I like the chill vibes of it and the sincere opinions and tips.

Great advice! I have my first 50k coming up in a few months!

I ran this last year (2012) and LOVED IT! Hope to go back and run it again!

Thanks for the video. I have my first 50km coming up on the 18th of this month. I can not wait.

I really appreciate Matt Sims for doing this video. I am just starting to get ready for my first 50k trail race now. I've never raced a marathon before. Half-marathon is the longest I've raced to this point, so I was nervous about jumping into this 50k, but not anymore. I'm excited for this now. Great video, great tips/thoughts. Thanks so much.

I can barely crank out a 25k in 4 hours but I'm 243lbs so I'm not mad, maybe one day I'll try 50k. Just doing 10 miles for races right now.

This was actually very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks! Great advice!!

thank you for your wonderful lesson and pictures.

Amen!

Inspired me for my first 50k trail!

I just got into trail running and hiking a few months ago and I really enjoy it. I would like to run a 50k, any advice how many miles I should run a week to prepare for a 50k next year?

Doing my first 50k in the next few hours. Can't wait.

Have you guys heard of The Malnad ultra run held every year in Karnataka (India) which offers 80K , 50 K races?

Is 12 wks enough time to train for a 50K? I ran a marathon back in March

Great video !!! Should my long run at some poiint be 50K in orher to prepare for my race? IF yes ... when should I increase to that level

How many times will I trip? lol I average one stumble for every 8 miles

Today, I signed up for a 50K at 17 years old, having already run a fast marathon. Am I too young?

This is great! Thank you. I am also getting ready to do my first 50k trail race. tararunstheworld.blog/2018/05/11/50k-gear-and-tech-check/

What's with the crazy loud background music. I couldn't continue watching.

The heck with the cheap music :D

Gels sucks, rest of the advice seems fine.
