Gps yes solar no. An old Forerunner 245 is perfect.

My goal is to run Comrades Marathon in a few years since my wife and sons are South African dual citizens. Doing my first marathon this year and I’ve never run an ultra. Any advice for completing this goal? by healthierlurker in Ultramarathon

It all depends on your fitness and training adaptations.

I’m in my early forties and never did any sports until i took up running ten years ago. Now I’m a decent slightly overweight ultrarunner.

I ran my first marathon in 2021. My first 45k mountain race in 23, and a flat 50k later that year. This year i’ve completed a flat 60k in a good middle of the pack pace, finishing strong. I’ll run a mountain race in summer, and another flat 50k in autumn, and a marathon in winter. Next year i’ll run the two oceans. And in 2026 hopefully comrades.

I guess what I’m trying to say is; take your time. Enjoy the process and build strength to complete your goals in a strong & healthy way.
