My top 15 tips to enjoy your first ever ultra, while on the very muddy A Coventry Way 40 miler 2024!
If you've ever wondered if you could do an ultra, this is the film for you. I'm not the best advert for ultra running, I'm a working parent with hardly any time to train, but I have picked up a few tricks of the trade over my last decade or so of trail and ultra running that I'd like to share with you to make your life easier! Here they are while I fight my way through the mud on the A Coventry Way 40 miler this April 2024. My home turf!
Big thanks to SOAR for sponsoring this film and letting me represent them in their super lovely kit. On the race I wore the Soar Run Tee, Trail Shorts, Run Cap and Ultra Jacket waterproof. All of it was excellent and I would highly recommend it.

    Hi Claire. You siad that filming slowed you down and it would have done a bit. Having someone to film you would be a good solution, so how about this for an idea. Have a running RUclipsr who is well know for their running videos (like Loyd from run4adventure) film you. You do your filming, they film you and then you can have a dual video, one from the running pont of view, the other from crew/film. I have never seen something quite like that before and could be fun!

    • @wildgingerruns
      @wildgingerruns 11 дней назад

      A collab would be super cool! I think Lloyd wants to run it himself tho, but it's a great idea if he gets injured or something beforehand like this year. Patreon Sean O'Keefe has offered to crew and film me also. Are you offering too? ;)

    "Don't quite at a checkpoint" You absolutely must tell someone in the race org that you're quitting, so they know you're accounted for and don't send people out looking for you. In every race I've ever done, that means unless you're carried out on a stretcher, you must make it to a checkpoint to officially DNF.
