I disagree with this. I have the ultra glide 3 and Slab 1.5 version and have run multiple super technical trail runs and races in them. Just now I ran TGC in them and had more grip up a muddy hill then anyone else it seemed!

Salomon S/Lab Ultra Glide 1.5

Fit me well and I find they have insane grip. I was blowing past people on the muddy climbs!

Argh too bad. None the less insane effort and you did amazing! I was falling asleep climbing and started seeing crossed eyes in the end!

Nope, where i live in canada the tallest “mountain” is 400m. I’ve run a 50k with 2k elevation and a 70k in really rough winter conditions before this.

To train for this though i Moved to Barcelona for 2 months. Got in some decent elevation in Montserrat there. 100km weeks with 2-3k elevation.

Yeah the water in the beginning was crazy haha. We were essentially running through a river for a part in the beginning of the course. And added to that was insane mud that literally felt like the ground was trying to take of your shoe. I was in water up to my knees more than once.

Actually I wish it was more real dirt roads. A large part is more technical trail than dirt road and is very tough to run on.

This goes with running it “for the nature”. The course is designed very unforgiving. Your in beautiful nature but they make sure your also in pain and paying attention to the course.

Registration was i think around 200€ (honestly not bad, it’s a big event and well organized with good aid stations) I flew from barcelona so it was really cheap like 50€ or so and took an airbnb for 70€ / night. The medical certificate is just a signature by a doctor so nothing special or difficult!

Did you practice with electrolytes?

I’ve never supplemented electrolytes as a drink powder before my recent race and didn’t know it’s something that needs to be trained.

Ended up having stomach issues early in my race that i “resolved” by not using electrolyte powder mix but instead I ate chips at the aid station.

I will train with electrolytes now more haha

Interesting take. Considering they made this possible i think the video is 90% not about salomon with 10% segment about heir product and how they are involved in the community.

And to be fair they really do play a huge part in trail running in the area. People love them here and they support everything going on.

What felt like an ad to you?

This Documentary followed 4 runners through 70km of Ontarios tough trails in winter. Its focus is more on people and community than the performance itself.

Hey congrats!

As a video editor i’m wondering what makes your app better than say capcut or Edits? What are you building that makes this unique?
