Tiger Claw 50k 2024
This year, I finally got a chance to head out to the Seattle area to run the Tiger Claw 50k. Ethan, Kim, and their team put on a fantastic race, and it was just as difficult of a course as they said it would be. I got more vert in one day than I get in a month (or two), and it was so hard. But the trails were lush, the views were incredible, and I met some great people. Highly recommend.

Brooks Ghost 16
Переглядів 22 тис.21 годину тому
The Brooks Ghost 16 is still a 12mm heel drop shoe, and it’s still a bit firmer than I wish it would be. But the switch to DNA Loft v3 makes the experience a bit more pleasant, and I’m finding that I enjoy it as a light stability shoe for recovery run days. Ghost fans will love the 16 as it still provides a lot of the same signature experiences. And while those who haven’t loved the Ghost previ...
Coaching Call - London Marathon Recap
Переглядів 16 тис.День тому
London Marathon didn't quite go as I had hoped, and I finally sit down with my coaches to debrief and troubleshoot. The early elevated HR definitely signaled that something was wrong. What exactly it signaled, I'm still not sure. But we go over some things that it could have been that, either alone or taken as a whole, could help explain what went wrong. 0:00 intro 2:59 headspace going in to th...

This is the Endorphin Pro 4, and it’s got a carbon fiber plate and two high-end race foams. But I think this just might be a case of less is more. It’s still going to be one of the most frequently recommend carbon plated racers in 2024, but I think I just might prefer the last version. 0:00 intro 0:43 Disclosures 1:00 Specs 3:03 What’s it like 6:42 Pairing options 7:33 Buying guide and alternat...

Chasing down my 5th star and having trained for a PB, I went to London with anxious anticipation. The course was fast, the crowds were intense, the weather was just about perfect, and I had friends to run with. It was a perfect setting for a perfect day, but I only just barely made it to the finish. . Nothing was obviously wrong. I just started feeling like everything was just way too hard at a...

Daje kof sei grande
Damn...I need to do a 50 trail.
Great video (I even found myself near the beginning)! And it was great meeting you before the start, chatting, and taking a pic together.
Wow Ko what an amazing race u ran .. soo soo tough mentally and physically!!
This is what we want, some shoes reviews and some race video 👍👍 we enjoy it much
I have run 5K-Half in the Pro 3. I haven’t run in the Pro 4, but I saw them in person upon release. I agree, I didn’t see a huge difference. Glad Saucony kept the price the same. I’ll stick with my Pro 3s (and STILL have my Pro 2s) for the time being!
Congrats! #AnySurfaceAnyDistance 🏃🏻♂🏔🙌!
Kofuzi + Trail = 🏆
I paid 28 dollars for my Boston 12 👍🏻 i made a video on it
That looks so fun! Well done completing the race!
Thanks!
Wish Singapore has some big forest to run with, the greenery is so beautiful to run with
Sounds awesome!
I love the way the Ghost 16 looks, but would it be good for a person who works in a retail store that's walking all day? HELP! 🎉
Yes, assuming you like how it feels when you try it on
Might as well make the flip belt zipper edition all zippers
Congratulations-I’m exhausted just watching this! You’re brave to undertake something like this on the heels of everything else you’ve done in the last few weeks. It does look like a gorgeous place. And that food at the end…..🎉
The food at the end was a montage of everything I ate all weekend (not just after the race)
That 80s vibe synth pop goes so hard with the footage
It’s definitely ginger runner inspired
Glad that Ethan's efforts are starting to get some traction. Great upload.
Fun being aid station buddies out there! My slow-mo high five finish with Ethan was rad, thanks for the cameo. Great job on the film, fun to relive the race from another perspective. Way to crush those last 3 miles. 👊
I was so impressed you had the energy to jump after all that
Ethan wearing a bullet proof vest??? 😂
Absolutely awesome, well run . Great location 🎉🎉
Fantastic, just amazing, great work!!!
I just can't do max cushion shoes. They feel so sloppy to me but I also ran i pikes and flats in college and I like hard, responsive shoes.
So cool to watch this. Thanks for sharing it, Mike. I had no idea this race even existed.
Thanks Colin!
Congratulations! Enjoyable video, thx for being real. Jim Freeland
Thanks for watching!
The footage of you running in these wet/snowy conditions really quelled some of my doubts about the traction on this shoe. Thank you!!
Quiero ver a l9s grandes corredores, mas no, a un tieso
Pro move by Ethan. Letting people experience the race on their own first
I got a 10 year old that needs some cushioned trainers to do long runs in. I'm going to cap him at 8 miles as I don't think kids need to be running anymore than that. He's already running 21 min 5ks in Kinvara 14s but needs some more cushioning for training
Beautiful course, excellent video. Makes me want to sign up! Nice work! 🔥
You should do it!
I really liked the 360 camera for the run footage
360 cameras work really well for trail, imo
Do you feel version 5 is more breathable than version 6? The upper of version 6 looks thicker.
No
Great video of the race! It was nice to meet you at the start line! (Aurelien)
Great to meet you too! Hope you had a fun day!
Beautiful location. Good job.
Thanks!
You took a risk tackling a colour-based "choose your own adventure" course! 😂
The colored signs have the words of the color printed on them. Saved me
Congratulations ❤
Thanks Suzie!
Do you enjoy being alone for such extended periods?
I wasn’t alone that much. I just try not to film around other people that I don’t know if it can be helped
Great video, glad you ran it and got to document.
Me too
50K and 2800+ meters of climbing in under 8 hours… wow, that’s a very tight cutoff if you ask me. I am more used to at least 2 hours per 10K. So what’s wrong with the pink loop?
The pink loop was the most protected from the sun and also had a lot of water (creeks etc) so most of us locals took it last so we’d be in the shade during the hottest part of the day.
The cutoffs were in the 9-10 hour range
That looks like a joyous event! Hard but I like the look of the variety you get. Well done!
A little bit of everything in this race
Great video and I appreciate the motivation. I recently ran my 1st marathon and am looking forward to the longer distances. Great job on the race and keep posting.
Have fun in the longer stuff!
such nice day out in the woods. Congratz!
It really was!
Ultra marathon some day?
I don’t understand
This is what I'm talking about, back on the trails! The camera didn't do it justice but that was a lot of climb. I fully understand why you finished with the food montage, that's all I think about the last hours of a long run. That and "this hurts" :) How'd you feel the next couple of days?
Quads were wrecked but I’m feeling surprisingly good. I think it was the weight training I’ve been doing
My feet after just a mile in these = 🤬 That being said, some shoe brands just don’t fit certain feet well. These feel incredibly comfortable just walking in and quickly became my morning dog walk shoes. For running, this brand would need to send me a free pair of whatever their future new shoes are to even try running in them.
I love running Tiger Mountain. Would love to do the race one day.
Highly recommend
Champion! Think you should use more Wham in your vloggs great touch the edit-'Gitterbug!'
That felt long just watching it. Seemed like an epic route though.
It was an eight hours that didn’t feel like eight hours 🤷🏻♂️
SO DAMN STOKED you came and enjoyed our annual best of a race! Also, how has it taken this long to meet in person?! Regardless, we appreciate you, dude, come back anytime!! Can't promise the race gets any easier :)
Thanks so much for the hospitality and for the chance to run here. Looking forward to when we can meet in person again!
Trail hits different 😮😊❤
Little dry heaving in there huh?😂
It was really sketchy for a while. Thought I might DNF from heat induced vomiting
@@kofuzi well congrats on finishing. I know for a fact I would have DNF from straight exhaustion.
Nice 🥇
