Follow my 250 Miles Solo Ultra Running Adventure Across Arizona as I run Cocodona 250 a challenging 250 miles ultra marathon across deserts and mountains. Let's just say it was HOT!!! A difficult journey filled with challenges and new friendships.

In this 5 days journey across Arizona, I challenge myself and push both my physical and mental limits as I race one of the most challenging ultra marathon in the world: Cocodona 250 by Aravaipa Running. Adding to the challenge, I'm only 1 week out of racing Mt Fuji 100 miles Ultra Marathon, and I'm racing Cocodona 250 solo meaning no crew or pacer.

Postrace interview by Mountain Outpost :
   • Simon Guerard on his Cocodona 250 Exp...  

Last year, I ran the Sedona 125, which are the last 125 miles of Cocodona 250 a great first 100 milers and also a great way to experience the Cocodona 250 course.

This is my first 200+ miles ultra marathon, and once again, I feel totally out of place. I feel like a beginner surrounded by experienced and accomplished runners that actually belong here.

I've trained for months, and I know what I can accomplish. But an adventure like that is filled with unknown, and pain. In this ultra running documentary, I give you a transparent and honest take on this. The highs, the lows, the challenges. I bring you along on trails as I cross 250 miles of deserts and mountains in Arizona.

I'll also be comparing Garmin vs. Coros. More specifically, I'm testing the Coros Vertix 2S vs. Garmin Fenix 6X. My goal is to create useful head to head comparison, for example can my coros last the full 5 days?! #TrainWithCOROS ‪@COROSGlobal‬

Next race Bryce Canyon 100 miles ... 1 week after Cocodona. Then I'll be racing Bighorn 100 miles June 14

As always Thanks for watching and remember

Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits!
