Get ready for Ultra season

I thought this was a great series put out by The North Face. I really enjoyed learning how top ultra runners train and get ready for their seasons, plus I love all the different place they visit makes me want to do some traveling someday. Enjoy!


The North Face Get Ready For online video series supports ultra runners world-over as everyone gets ready for the challenging ultra season ahead. Sebastien Chaigneau has worked with The North Face Performance Team on a special Get Ready For series to give insight on athletes’ training programme all year long. During the season, Sebastien will visit training camps of well-known ultra races such as The North Face Trans Gran Canaria; The North Face Lavaredo Ultra Trail; and the infamous The North Face Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc. He will give information on the race profile, key difficulties and necessary/mandatory equipment for each race

Welcome to Trail Running Videos

2011 was the year when the trail running video came of age. There have been inspiring video clips before, but the quality, frequency, diversity, and ease of access to the videos–through various social media sites and websites–has had a real impact on the sport. To be fair, many of these videos are glorified advertorials. They are put out by the major brands in the sport, highlighting their athletes and latest products, but that doesn’t take away from their quality or inspirational effect. So my hope for this blog is to bring my favorite trail running videos to one convenient place. On the left side of this blog you will see the "Pages" tab, here you will find links to different pages on my blog that will take you to corresponding videos of either a series, a particular athlete or race. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!
