From Run4Adventure comes “CHAMONIX SHAKE OUT RUN before the TDS at UTMB,” and it deserves your attention. Here’s the core of the workout so you can run it yourself. Watch the full video for additional context and details.

Key Points:

• A 3.5-mile (≈5.6 km) steady run around the Chamonix river track meant to loosen your legs before the midnight TDS start.
• Just relaxed loops at a comfortable, steady pace—no intervals here.
• It’s a chance to connect with other racers and supporters while settling any pre-race jitters.
• Bring water and a light snack; aim for consistent effort over speed.

Workout Example:

1. Warm up with an easy 5-minute jog around the campsite.
2. Run 3.5 miles (≈5.6 km) on the Chamonix track at a steady, conversational pace (roughly 65–75% of max HR).
3. Feel free to loop it again for ~7 miles total if you wish, keeping the pace relaxed throughout.
4. Cool down with a 5-minute walk, rehydrate, and get your gear sorted for the midnight start.

Closing Note: Run this session before your next major race. Adjust the distance or pace in the Pacing app to fit your fitness level. Enjoy it, stay safe, and keep running!
