All really good and great advice. Sadly, I've never had a support crew, but my experience is, that if things have turned bad, people and other runners in general are really helpful and supportive at the stations.

Switched registration from 100k to 100 miles while on a runners high 1 month out from the race. This vid seems to be helpful, we’ll see how race day goes haha.

Brilliant series of vids Loyd . Very informative , and explained in a very clear and positive manner. I'm looking to enter longer distance events next year , as my furthest ultra distance ive completed to date is 32 miles. The points I particularly remember are the benefits of back to back running in building endurance ; the "witching hour" during night-time running & the importance of a quality headtorch ; and how useful it would be to "buddy up" in the night-time during a 100 miler. I intend to enter the solo CQ next year & then the Plague , so fingers crossed for that , and I will certainly give your vids another play during my training. Stay safe mate & I will see you on the other side.

As always, I enjoyed watching this video, great work!

Loved the series, learned a lot for my journey to my first ultra. Looking forward to more of your humor and advice!

So glad I found this. Excellent advice. Thank you

Great content Lloyd. Well done this series was very informative. Well done. Great content.

Hi loyd. I’ve only done one 100 miler. But wot a feeling crossing that finish line. Loved running through the nite especially hearing the Dawn chorus as the sunrises. Wot I found was it was never my megs that we’re going to stop me but the dreaded blisters so very important to get them sorted at the first sign of any rubbing in theses shoes 👍🏻👍🏻

Great content as always mate. Cheers

I knew 1:55 looked familiar, it was perfected at Bassetts

Great running tips, the form or those pushups though...

I noticed an old video and I’m not sure if you’re gonna see it but maybe somebody will question is terrain. I see a few that I got to choose from one that’s probably out it’s a like a Greenway sidewalk cement path 50 miles out and 50 miles back that don’t seem fun even though it goes out through the country I got another one about 11,000 feet gain they say it’s pretty mostly runnable And in 425 mile loop and another one like 18,000 feet a game much harder and it’s only got a 30 hour cut off because that’s the only one negative there and another one is one of the hardest ones in our state with the 47 hour cut off in about 25,000 feet again through rocksdoes it really matter first I’ve had people tell me both they said, will you pick a mountain one to force you to walk and then other people said well you can schedule a walk you know every 4 miles or something walk for so much time on a flat one, so it doesn’t matter or whatever I enjoy most or but probably just stay out of the way from the real brutal ones that’s all bye. Thanks love the videos.

Great tips there mate. Good vid. But please don't do that pause thing for tip 1, that's a minute of my life I'll never get back lol. Other than that, and please don't let that be a downer, it's constructive, great and energetic vid that's really informative. Thanks for sharing it bro.

Hi do you record your videos in 4K and do you tend to apply colour corrections?

Just found this video and the others in the series. My question is how many miles should you be building to before the actual 100m event. The 100km vid suggested back to back runs so I am assuming a similar training regime but at what point do you say 'these distances are sufficient to prepare my body for what's ahead?' Cheers from Australia

thank you man very informative video, ive ran a few 50 milers but I want to complete my first 100. what shoes do you use? they seem to be some zero drop and I'm used to running in vibram 5 fingers lol

Great series! some helpful advice for sure. I'm eyeing up my first 100miler, one thing I've dealt with in my 50mile and 100km efforts has been shin splints, I notice you have taped your shins/calves in the last couple videos and I wonder if its for similar issues? Can you speak to your experience with taping as a preventative measure?

Great stuff. What shorts are you wearing ? Cheers

Another great video Loyd, 👍🏻 love the channel, any chance you could do a video on basic self gait analysis for those who don’t have the opportunity to get it done by a professional?

...also, what water proof jacket would you recommend ? I bought a few and even a pretty expensive one from OMM for 150 but still seems to hold water on it.... Should i go for a complete gore tex one as the 20,000 (something unit) does nt do job for me. Thanks

whats the purpose of that leg tape? Also, how are you finding the Wildhorse 6s?

Question I was planning on running 1st 100 miler but looks like it might be canceled. I’m 58 or will be 59 too old or not.
