 47-25 baby FKT Mount Beerstat July 12th 2018 Now let's see how we do on the descent See you at the car Oh, baby. All right, I don't know what my total time was. I have it recorded, but I don't know what it is right now Don't mind Don't mind me. I'm just talking to the camera Yeah Was it a big big group? Yeah I passed um All right folks You all who for those that watch the vlog on a regular basis and watch the other running videos you probably have learned uh when i'm breathing hard in the mountains, I really breathing I was breathing hard at the top there That felt like pike's peak the pike's peak ascent race last year. I don't know if I've Had that much lung burn since that race uh at the top of Beerstat today And I believe that's a new fkt pretty sweet Uh, I'm gonna go home and confirm that and I'm just grateful. I see at the house A little thirsty a little thirsty after that run Um The day march is on just got done filming for the night. Whoo drove home. Wow. What a day started at 4 or 30 am It's now about 10 p.m. I'm tired, but I want to just talk about what happened on Mount Beerstat Yeah, that's right course record, baby fastest known time in fkt as it's called um Or as Strava likes to call it king of the mountain moment. So basically, uh, I Yeah, I wanted to break the record and sure enough It happened 47 minutes and 35 seconds to the top of Mount Beerstat from the trailhead And then total time round trip was one hour and 21 minutes and 11 seconds As if anyone's counting if it's and so I'm excited. Listen. What is the secret? Why am I setting Course records on these 14ers Basically, I'm not afraid to train in the winter on the same mountains That's right You got to go year-round folks. You got to be committed to the uphill high altitude efforts For your lungs and your aerobic development year round. It's just that simple Second thing is that I'm not running 100 miles a week or 120 miles a week I'm running 70 miles a week. It's not that much But I'm supplementing the high the mileage with weightlifting and so what I've discovered This is my secret. I'm letting my secret out of the bag is isolating My left leg specifically For weightlifting and making my left leg stronger My left leg is very very weak compared to my right leg because for the last 32 years I've been using my right leg to play soccer to jump for basketball To Throw the boys up in the air. And so of course my right leg is going to be stronger So what I'm realizing is for uphill running Having two legs that are just that are equally strong is really good That's a good thing And so that is my secret my tip of the day if you want to get faster at running and faster at specifically uphill running Make sure both legs are equally strong. And so I'm doing leg presses with one leg Lunges with one leg And lastly on this fine fine day is The rat the rat is winning This is the fourth No, the third last night was the third attempt To defeat the rat at this house I have tried a small mousetrap this snap Snapkind I've tried poison Neither worked. So I got the big mousetrap the big one No, it did not work either last night the the the rat got the cheese and it didn't get the rat So we're going to try again for the fourth time fourth time We're going to try and defeat the rat question of the day at the end of the vlog How do you defeat a rat or maybe Multiple rats. I don't know this thing must be huge because it stole the first mousetrap See beauty work hard Run uphill Or walk walk uphill. That's good too. Good for your health. Good for your lungs. Good for your blood flow. It's good. It's good
