 All right, so I'm here waiting for the bus ready to head out on a Crazy long run here on La Palma. I'm gonna do Fuen Caliente to El Pilar. It's 17 kilometers and 1,400 meters of elevation. It's gonna be an epic run and I thought I'd just give you guys an overview of What gear I'm bringing on the run including hydration and nutrition strategy So I'm just sitting here basking in the morning sun. I just had 7 bananas So it's about 9 30 now in the morning. I had 7 bananas Well, I started a day with like half a liter of water Then I had 7 bananas now and then I'll start my run in about two hours Because there are there's a lot of I have to take a few buses and stuff like that So I got two hours to digest about 700 calories and at that point my stomach will be fairly empty Ready to start taking in the run nutrition. Let's talk about that in a second First I want to show you guys what I'm wearing. So first of all, I'm wearing these the ultra superior 2.0 shoes Really solid trail running shoes very comfortable very good and underneath. I got the in Jinji toe socks, of course Then I'm wearing the compressed sport calf sleeves And I like them a lot and then just like a six shorts on my upper body I have first of all, I have the heart rate monitor for my Garmin 6 30 Super epic watch and then I have a t-shirt from craft and then long sleeve shirt from Sockney And I might or might not use this while I'm running But I'm the highest point of the run is gonna be one thousand nine hundred meters So it might be a little cool up there So I'm just bringing this just in case and also for the Sun in case I need to protect myself against the Sun It's nice to have a long sleeve shirt along with me on the run. I'll be wearing a cap Against the Sun and of course sunglasses So that's basically what I'll be wearing Let's take a look at my backpack So here I have the Osprey Rev 6 backpack and By the way, I'll put links in the description to all the different gear that I'm using affiliate links And if you want to buy those you can click the link and go ahead and buy it And if you do we get a little bit of a commission for sending you there But the price remains the same for you. So it's a good way to support the project Anyway, here's the backpack really nice backpack Inside it. I have a few things First of all, I have the GoPro Hero 4 silver camera, which is filming right now It stays in this pocket and in this little pouch. I have my photo camera the this one the Sony Cyber shot I can't remember the model right now. I'll put it in the description Take some cool pictures from my Instagram account that you better go check out the link is also in the description And I've got my money my cards my bus card all that stuff my phone and I have the number for Girl that's staying at the camping that I'm staying at right now just in case of an emergency I can call her And there's a car there that she can use just in case right and I'm also gonna get the number for the taxi People because after my run I actually have to get home and I need to rely on hitchhiking I have to find some tourists and ask them if I can catch a ride and if I can't do that I'll have to take a taxi so I need their number to then I'll also be using these my brand new black diamond distance set Trekking poles carbon super light like 150 grams each they fold out obviously And they're just like really nice to to when you're going on steep uphills To help save the legs a little bit and help out with the arms So I'll be using those I tried them for the first time last week when I did farro the fun caliente to Los Canarios That run and that's the first segment of the trans-vulcania race today I'm doing the second segment of the trans-vulcania race, which is from Los Canarios to El Pilar So yeah, they'll come in handy. I'll make a review of them at a later point for sure now Let's talk a little bit about my nutrition so First of all, yeah, as I said, I ate those bananas and then in the back back pack here. I have a bladder of one and a half liter of water With about 150 grams of sugar and a little bit of salt In it. So this is my this is 150 grams of sugar. That's about 600 calories so that's gonna fuel me through my Two and a half hour run probably and then as I finish I'll start eating my recovery Meal, which is gonna be of dates. I have about Maybe 150 grams of dates and then a bag of dried bananas About six bananas in this pack Hopefully I'll also be able to find some water at the El Pilar Place when I arrive there just like a area for people to cook stuff and like, you know camp and stuff So there's probably a little bit of water available there. So that's pretty much it. That's that's it. I'll be obviously drinking my my fuel and everything through this thing that goes on the front of the backpack and Yeah That's it. That's everything I've got As I said, I'll put links in the description if you want to check out the gear in more detail I really look forward to this run. It's gonna be absolutely Insanely epic It's perfect weather. Sun is out and not much clouds up on the mountain I'm a little nervous as well. Obviously, it's gonna be pretty intense It's the toughest run of my life basically But I'm gonna force myself to keep the intensity easy though Because last time I did the long run last week. I pushed a little bit too hard I mean, it was all good fun anyway But I need to learn how to keep my intensity low when I'm doing these long runs with all this climbing and everything I just need to But you know, I have to walk I have to hike those uphills and That's part of the game. So that's nice with these trekking poles as well. I think that's about it I love gear. I love equipment. I love tools. I love technology And I'm really excited about a lot of these items and as I'm getting more and more into running more serious about it I'm also getting acquiring more and more Gear and I think that's that's a fun process I really like it like my latest acquisition as I said was these trekking poles and it's just I don't know it It just it makes it makes the whole thing all the more fun Like I remember when I got my first Garmin watch and then later when I got this one. It was just like It took my running to another level because suddenly I mean, I don't know I just I also get excited by having cool tools, you know, so anyway, I hope your running is going well Tell me in the comments How it's going What kind of equipment do you use maybe maybe you've tried some of the equipment that I have here Do you have experience with trekking poles anything like that?
