Big Vert, Long Run, Ultra Training while cheering Quad Rock runners // 25.8 Miles, 5760 ft Vert

In preparation for my up-and-coming 50 mile trail race (North Fork 50) I decided to head to Horsetooth Mountain in Fort Collins, Colorado for a big vert, long run, ultra training day. I ended up running nearly 26 beautiful trail miles with over 5700 feet of vertical gain! This day was also filled with many cheers and "good jobs" for the Quad Rock trail runners as they traversed the mountain on the 25 mile and 50 mile courses. In this video, I also share my race kit, nutrition plans for race day, see a back squirrel, and much more. Hope you enjoy this beautiful trail run! 👇Click to view affiliate discounts and socials 👇 https://linktr.ee/SeeChadRun ✨ Support by becoming a channel member ✨ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXuaIGUWj4PHNQDK0rGRb-A/join - - Send Me Stuff - - • Want to send me something amazing?
