Transgrancanaria Race Vlog! First ultra in 18 months

Hi. Have you run in the north face trail running shoes yet?

Flora uploads her transgrancanaria run, I click play 🙂

Well done on finishing that, you're in surprisingly great shape at the end

Wow what a beautiful place to run, well done Flora 😊🎉

Well done Flora!!

Evening all. Spain is diferent. Congrats Flora.....!!!!!You're a strong finisher!!!!!. Like from 🇪🇸 Spain. A nice weekend for everyone.

Geez Flora "the mountain goat" well done you :)
Off the back of the Barca half, that terrain & heat must've been brutal ! Not made any easier filming & narrating the whole Cha Bang :)
Heatstroke can easily suddenly appear out of nowhere, if not careful.
Hope those guys who succumbed were OK.
What a beautiful place to live
Sunshine most of the time
Cracking views, inspiring :)
Fantastic achievement
Thanks for sharing
Recover well Flora 🏅

Well done Flora, and to finish ya quote "jack of all trades, though oftentimes better than master of one" 😊

So awesome....many congrats Flora , and with that heat .....badass

Amazing Flora well done, what kind of calories did you burn while running for 6 hours ?

Looks an epic event……great run Flora, massive well done🙌🏽👏🏽🤜🏽

Absolutely amazing result, Flora. I don't know how you stuck that heat though! :O!

well done Flora ! I literally signed up for my first 50K while watching this video... I went for my first "trail run" of the year (it's still full of snow out here, but it's the intention that matters right ?) and I am so excited for the upcoming trail running season :D

Very nice and congratulations on a tough course!

Excellent run Flora! My teenage daughters loved the video and scenery! They want to run that event lol 😂 They loved your ponytails 🤙🤙🤙

Very well done!! Great to see you smiling and finishing strong!!

Amazing Flora!! I love how dirty you are at the end 😂

Congrats Flora !! 🎉🎉🎉

Congrtulations, that is in fact an excellent time, even more so if you did not go for it.

Well I learnt a new phrase today that I don't believe I have heard before "quad bashing". I am going to use that from now on.

Flora, that was an amazing performance considering 1. Lack of long distance training, 2. Only a week after a great half marathon.
Gran Canaria is beautiful and having run the marathon there in 2022 & 2023 it is a shame they haven’t continued with it last year or this year. How you smile when so tired is amazing and your quads are something to be proud of as they look so good!
A very well done to you young lady!

Stoked for you, that you have gotten back to a point where you can run a race like this Flora, after your health struggles. Well done 💪💪

A question/video suggestion - I suppose leaning into your into montage a bit: how do you deal with dietary requirements when travelling for races such as this and Barcelona? From memory you are (were?) vegan, so I imagine at times that makes things harder on the go. I don't know whether you are one of those 'guts of steel' type people or not, but I think that would be very helpful to learn and see approaches from you.
Thanks, good recovery!

That looks epic. Remember, if trail running was easy it'd be called road running!

Yes, I enjoyed the video, and it really makes me want to do this race! EPIC!

Great race. So beautiful and you did incredibly well. Hope you have an awesome running year!!!

Love seeing your race adventures Flora. Great job 👏🙌

What an amazing race. Well done, you did amazing!

Congratulations, so happy for you having such an epic day 💪🙌

Congratulations 🎊 👏 awesome running 🏃‍♂️ and absolutely amazing views 👏 ❤️ 😀 xxxxxxxxxxxx

It's so pretty! I would definitely walk that trail 😁. Is that a hear rate monitor on your arm? Never seen one that lies flat like that.

Amazing, you made it look so easy!👏

oh Flora this was beautiful and amazing in equal measure! 😍 Really stepped it up on this one with the distance and elevation (esp on the back of an amazing PB half marathon!) I spent the first 5 minutes going "ohh I wonder what those shoes are" then you told me they were NF Vectiv! I'm glad someone else is on the NF trail trainers. I've been using them for years and absolutely love them but most people I know don't even know that they do trail trainers. What did you think of them in the end, interested to hear your thoughts. It's like we're twinsies with our NF shoes and Sungods now 😉😂 what's next on your event list? x

Wow, this race has instantly made it on my wish list for when I'm fit enough to handle it! Sooooo beatiful! And well done, can't believe you ran this after racing a half-marathon a few days earlier. Wow!

Hey Flora,
Congratulations on completing your return to trail running, what a start to 2025. 🎉.
Hope the recovery goes to plan. Looking forward to the rest of your year 👊🏻

This is such a bucket list race! I loved your validation from reading the mountains “one step at a time” sign. Facts! I’m training for my first ultra (also trail) and grateful for the content and emotions/reality of this! Thank you for sharing!

Oh floria well done such an achievement xx

Amazing Flora x

When its been a long week, there’s nothing quite like a Flora running her first ultramarathon since her EVB diagnosis to brighten your day

Nice ultra!! Looked great but tricky!!! Hats off to anyone who completes an ultra!!!

Another great video and run - his long were you out there for Flora… four or five days?

Amazing! What a phenomenal time you absolutely blitzed that! Truly a stunning place to run, thank you for sharing, a real boost for an old guy doing his physio exercises and hoping he can keep going! 😊

Absolutely incredible!!! Congratulations Flora!! The heat, distance, vert, technicality, and right after a HM PB... so many reasons this was a stellar result! I love your attitude throughout... "there's worse Fridays to have". What a gorgeous course! I'm so glad to see you back on the trails... and it looks like you're body is, too! Wishing you a solid recovery, and I can't wait to see what's next!!

I've got a 24 hour looped race coming up in 5 weeks, but my training has been horrible due to experiencing "sleep crisis" the last few weeks, due to my broken circadian rhythm. That's fixed, so it's time to get to it!

Blimey that looks amazing might have to try book up for next year!!

No, I would never do one in the heat🥵 Give me winter, give me a snowstorm - yes, please 😅 Heat - NO😂 💪🏻

Hello Flora, what smartwatch and armband do you use?
