### Segment 1 (00:00 - 05:00) []

foreign within the next five months so basically this summer I'm going to be running my very first 100 mile ultra marathon Race last year I ran 89 miles in 24 hours on my own in the desert I was medically supervised don't worry but I hadn't really done much running training basically I'm going to do it a little bit differently I actually worn a train for the next few months and participate in an ultra marathon like an official ultra marathon event there's a few events I have my eye on right now and they're kind of terrifying my favorite one so far is a mountain 100 Miler which is basically 100 miles at altitude which I'll need to get acclimatized to and with over 15 000 feet of elevation gain so it's basically like going vertically upwards 5000 meters as well as 100 miles across 160 kilometers so damn yeah that was my favorite one that will be the furthest I've ever run and to be honest like I would just be ecstatic If I complete the 100 miles within the car of time because I don't need to race anyone beat anyone because with most of these ultra marathon races over 50 of the participants don't even make the cut off time like they either quit during the race or they just don't make the cut off time and they're disqualified so I'll just be happy if I can make the cutoff time if I can complete it now I'm going to let you in on a little bit of a secret this is actually a big scary goal for me but I really want to do this I'll explain why don't worry I'm not done explaining there is rationale in there somewhere oh I'm not even gonna try and not sweat that's so [ __ ] painful we've literally been running for one minute you know that you know when you're like in a public place and you've hurt yourself and you're really trying not to overreact that's what I'm doing right now how is this possible two minutes and 43 that's how long you lasted we're doing great my foot is literally freezing at least my toenails look cute I mean talk about hitting the ground running this is the perfect stuff I have this thing where if I'm like locked in I don't like it I'm also really bad in the cold I'm bad when I'm trapped and cold this is like this is my form of torture okay so not a great start I have sprained a ligament in my foot I'm doing the most it was just such a casual run that I went for like literally nothing special just ah I just want to see the neighborhood kind of run you know and then like a minute in there's a little bit of pavement just got me I sprained a ligament in my right ankle the physio was like yeah you ain't gonna be doing any running he said I can only do upper body for the next seven days so I'm basically living like every Jim Rose stream Natasha isn't allowed to run so it's just me no it just feels really weak my upper body's like shut up it's really good sorry my feet are sweating so bad no that's right it's like the more I think about it the morning they're just my favorite socks nice therapy that make you look cute that's a good sign I feel like this is where it happened this is the culprit can't believe I tripped over and also you can so see it there's just so many things that don't make sense here one minute in out for four weeks hi can you fit so basically this machine counteracts my body weight so it feels like I'm running

### Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00) [5:00]

in space if I could just do this for 100 miles sir good news my friends she's been clear to one wow okay foreign has given me the all clear to run he said if you feel any pain whatsoever stop it I'm feeling really good about it I feel confident look at this oh my God can we just show just so you guys know the setup we've got here in case we were wondering well who's holding the camera no one can stop her look at the legs she always brings her egg into the park it's uh what she's known for got quite the reputation here I just want to thank my Physio and that's about it and maybe Mario not really doing much he's being there Mario's running with me start that watch be here we're seven minutes in and my ankle feels good I'm very happy about it you're mad about it no longer the fastest one in the relationship last forever hey it literally has the Sprint to show off to his brother I mean wait I want to get his reaction what are you saying about it RJ there's 17 000 feet of elevation game if you want to do it we can sign you up as well oh you're busy next year oh that's good because it's this year is it this life I'm busy this life I'm so I'm actually chocolate block this live but I can do it in the next one maybe load of this guy he's speeding around the trash doing great any pain that's my favorite one is that booty that's basically our owl runs up just a light our testimon oh look at the flowers is so big it's just my hand for reference I do have small hands but okay get a load of that where'd you learn that thank you for coming on a run with me it's okay it's the only one that I'm gonna be able to keep up with slow you down this whole six months thank you so much thank you chocolate covered banana I challenge you to a duel yeah I feel like a very fair question here is why would you do this to yourself it's definitely not something I've thought about lately I've thought about it a lot and it comes down to three reasons three main reasons the first reason is that I'm very aware that I encourage you guys to do things you're uncomfortable with all the time maybe for you that's training functionally that translates into sports and maybe training at the gym feels kind of scary because some of the moves were a little bit awkward maybe it's encouraging you to eat a little bit more to heal your relationship with food that doesn't make you feel happy maybe it's just encouraging you to take a longer approach to your fitness journey I encourage you to do things that feel uncomfortable because I genuinely feel that at the end of it you will feel better but who would I be as your friend if I didn't ask the same thing of myself to make myself feel uncomfortable to challenge myself to grow even when things feel really intimidating because there's a really good chance that I might fail at this if most of these incredible Ultra runners don't manage to get to the Finish Line then I need to actually bring like my a game but there's no growth if there's no risk of failing I really believe that and so yeah I might fail and if I fail it's very public but I'm not going to feel embarrassed about it because at least I tried the second reason is that I genuinely want to do this like I haven't always had a happy relationship with exercise once upon a time I was

### Segment 3 (10:00 - 15:00) [10:00]

doing things out of guilt I felt insecure I was comparing myself to other people that I was training with because they were just so much better than me and um yeah it's taken me a long time to like get past that stage and for the last few years now I've actually found enjoyment in setting myself goals and training in a way that actually makes me feel happy and makes me feel really fulfilled I've realized that I'm not going to have the chance to explore and live my life fully forever and when you genuinely feel like you've lost the ability to move freely you realize how important that is to you like I realize how important it is to me to be able to move and explore and so I want to do it like I literally tear up watching People's stories of their 100 mile race it gives me goosebumps it gets me fired up and I know that if I train smart if I grow as an athlete I can do it as well I also feel super inspired just in general by the whole ultra running space because women are excelling so much of this and they are actually just becoming outright world record holders which I find so [ __ ] cool I want to look back on my life and say yeah I really made the most out of that and I get that for some people this is gonna sound like absolute hell just straight up torture and I get that your way of making the most out of your life might be completely different to mine then that's fine and that's what's so cool about us all being so different it's just I know that for me this will I will look back on this and be so proud that I've went for it especially because I feel so excited about it right now I don't want to look back and think what if and the third reason is that I want this community that I share with all of you guys to have a positive impact on a bigger world around us I always feel like fulfillment comes from contributing to something bigger than yourself last year when I ran for 24 hours we supported Red Bull's wings for life which supports Research into life-changing spinal injuries it really showed how much of a Force for good we can all be together and you guys rallied so much for a course that was important to me and now is my time to return the favor so this is where I need your help I want us to support a cause that you care about comment down below a charity that you want us to support and let's vote go through the comments comment on the ones that you like whatever you guys want to do will go for it if it's a charity that's supported by YouTube fundraising then we'll probably go down that route if not then I'll probably do like a public GoFundMe page and then we can also the progress that we're making together to help support that course and on top of writing down Charities that you want to support and voting for your favorites I would also love to know what challenges you're setting for yourself things that make you feel a little bit uncomfortable and it doesn't have to be big it can just be small if you don't want to share it that's fine maybe just make a note of it just for yourself I definitely feel like self belief is not something that we're born with it's definitely something that we have to build continuously setting ourselves like little challenges little things that make us feel uncomfortable we always need to show ourselves that we can overcome if you want to share it I love that if not then I'm still going through that uncomfortableness and that risk of failing nurse with me so I'm just checking out some races that I could sign up for I just love these names Resurrection Paul bears and moose have right away many races carry bear spray I think I'm gonna pass that one yeah hell hole hundred yeah a hundred miles is a long way so this morning I'm gonna have my running analyzed by the physios at The Running Room I'm hoping that they can help me with two things the first is injury prevention because a hundred miles is a long way and the second is trying to improve my running economy so basically analyzing my Cadence my gate my running technique overall to try and improve the amount of energy that I use at a given speed these were the physio team behind Ned Brockman if you guys don't know Ned he basically Forrest gumped Australia he just finished running 4 000 kilometers over 46 days which is insane so I'm really excited to meet them these guys are like true experts okay so I'm in The Running Room this is Alex Bell he's the Physio and founder of The Running Room doing kind of like a full assessment I feel absolutely yeah you're awesome you also did Ned brockmans I was physio yeah I'm still him actually I'm actually seeing him later today I'm super proud of him and the work that he did not only to run across Australia but you know to raise that much money was incredible human being still gives me goosebumps now it's around 46 degrees on that side and about 50 53 on the other side what's

### Segment 4 (15:00 - 20:00) [15:00]

like the best you've ever seen like someone 's foot actually just a week I mean too much is not good either right you've got to understand here no one runs with terrible form and there's no like real normal way to run okay so everyone has their unique like running footprint weird nitpicking here because we can green is every right foot strike red is every left but often what I'm looking at is the quality of this curve here so see how this looks different left and right I don't want you to drum into that too much and worry about it because sometimes it doesn't matter and I think it's prop purely because I think it's because I'm injured it's because when you hit the ground with that ankle you're feeling a little bit and hey so your body's trying to do something differently to shock attenuate a different way and so what I want to look at is when you hit the ground we want you to land closer to this green line your Center Mass but not directly underneath it you might have heard before like oh yeah I think I'm over striding and we don't sometimes people like what does that even mean this is the metric that we're looking at is your what we call your tibial inclination angle of that TBR or your shin when you hit the ground to be honest that's not an excessive overstride at all I'd say it's like very minimal but we're looking for one percenters here to make it your Milo that's easy as it can be I guess it all accumulates over time now over the distance 100 yeah for sure usually there's some misinformation around like foot strike and distance running like should people be heel striking midfoot and forefoot the thing that I would say is that it doesn't matter what we see is that injury rates are no different between if you're a four foot midfoot or heel Striker the only difference is the sight of injury but otherwise this position I actually think looks really good looks awesome then I go to a propulsory phase as you're generating Force now pushing off it actually looks pretty good there I like that you've got a little bit of a forward trunk Lane it's nice we don't want you to have an excessive four trunk Lane but that position to me looks pretty good so I would say like the main things there tiniest little bit of overstride and I'm saying tiniest little bit and really admit stands you look pretty good triple extension looks pretty nice so like might be one or two of the things to clean up but super easy little simple fixes Cadence is one of those things that when we talk about misrepresentation and Cadence if you Google Cadence it'll say your code should be 180. it's just not true and so everyone will have a unique someone like me who's a bit bigger bit heavier will have a lower Cadence and someone like you is a bit lighter someone is really tall will typically have a lower turnover the summer is really short and so depends where you're running what terrain what distance all of that stuff what we see in the literature is that anything below 165 is 156 is considered low but I would say it needs to be individualized rather than just plowing a blanket rule hey everyone should run 100 it just doesn't work are you ready yeah cool keep holding that bit do you go back to 156 or do we actually see that you're actually pretty good look at that bang on 165. there you go you did it overarching theme Here is like your running looks really good um I'm not concerned about like oof you know you're running form doesn't look great it looks fantastic I think what we're probably highlighting more here is you can say it that's bad like I really love you can take feedback yeah I can take but I don't get feedback from him like it honestly I think what's really apparent here is that definitely this right ankle is in play but from a running perspective this is going to be your main queue and then we'll give you some really specific stuff for that is a true expert sometimes you come across these kinds of people in life and you're like wow it's like a deep understanding where like nothing's black or white like everything has circumstance to it and like Nuance yeah that was amazing I'm just I'm actually genuinely just like blown away I was like keep talking so this is what I consider day one of training this is our first big run together the start of our 100 mile Journey we just forget about that whole spring ligament thing just forget about it the four months of training starts no it's gonna be a hot day today and just through there this feels so good to be running again my lips wet make it work if you wanted hills I wanted Alpine that's a small taste of it so I just want to talk about how my training is going to be modified over the next four months because obviously I'm gonna have to adjust my current training to be able to run this hundred Mila and a lot of these Hundred Mile events in fact all of them have race cut-offs so you have to be moving kind of quickly in order to not get disqualified up there okay nice that is the most Savage Hill

### Segment 5 (20:00 - 25:00) [20:00]

I've ever seen sorry I'm not stalking you I'm just for the last year or so I've been training about four days a week four times a week sometimes it's three sometimes it's five but it's on average four days a week it's about four hours a week actually and people always like oh yeah but you're missing out you must be missing something up like what about the extra run or the extra like walking or whatever and that's it I mean obviously sometimes I go for maybe like a walk with Mario but I mean everyone does that it's not a workout so anything above like four out of 10 rpe I will only be doing four times a week and that's because for the last year I've been building skill and strength and those things require me to be really focused on it they require quality movement they don't need frequency they don't need a high volume of training they just need me to be really present and really focused being four hours a week beats me just showing up for six hours a week so this time it's going to be different because now those things do matter like volume and frequency I'm important because I need to get my running miles in so the time that I'm going to be training will increase but the intensity at which I'm training blah blah actually everyone is our brother everyone's out running everyone's out cycling everyone's out swimming surfing sailing rowing it's actually amazing so to start with I'm gonna do about two to three hours of Gym training a week and then I'm going to do an additional two to three hours of running training a week and then closer to the event I'll take that running up to about five to six hours of running a week but I don't think my total training time will be more than seven hours a week total I'm not missing anything out sorry I'm sorry no you're okay today's oh that's awesome what are you studying I'm doing law oh nice do you know what I've met so many people doing law oh really you're like the fourth person I've met no in Sydney doing more it was so nice to meet you good luck with the ab sailing that was Tess she's doing ab sailing today see AB sailing another one on the list and that's because I'm still going to be working full-time alongside this so making my YouTube videos with all the research that goes into them I'm still going to be doing the training programs with all the research and testing that goes into them and I'm going to be Consulting with the Consulting projects that we have on the side so I'm still going to be working full time and I feel like seven hours is probably like the upper end of what is sustainable for me I drank that lemonade really quickly and now it's like sloshing around there's like this long long hill we're just about to start it I absolutely need to get used to doing Hills again I used to love Hills were like my thing so I can get back to it just feels hard the first few times not a single ounce of downhill on that I can see the Sydney Harbor Bridge ah okay all that was worth the climb to be honest the one thing that won't really change is my gym workouts because I've been training functionally for years and they're supposed to translate really well into sport running included those principles are kind of at the heart of my training even if I'm trying to build strength or build muscle even through those phases like I really prioritize training functioning and keeping my athleticism so I think that's what gives me like the audacity to even go for something like 100 miles because I feel confident in my body you know I can see a lighthouse okay my friends we made it the goal is 21 kilometers for my first run and we did it 2008 of what I would be running for my 160k

### Segment 6 (25:00 - 26:00) [25:00]
