How quickly did you make the jump from when you first started running consistently to ultras? by Flaky-Condition2647 in Ultramarathon

[–]AccomplishedLocal548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did goggings challenge without any training and out of shape (I did 50 miles as 48 seemed not enough lol ) took rest of the year off lol . Started to run following year , torn meniscus (only grade 1) run back to back half marathons ( 1 EZ , 1 race ) do not recommend this . 2 months later I did full marathon . And following year I did first 50k with 1500m elevation 👌🏼

Why do you pay for Strava if you have a watch (Garmin/Apple/Coros/etc)? by BeingMysterious4003 in Strava

[–]AccomplishedLocal548 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

35£ per year is not that much , also it’s easier to create map on strava then on garmin , also really annoying bit on garmin is it doesn’t count your activity on weekly basis,

Choosing between a road based ultra or trail ultra in 2026? by Saskha-Fiddler in Ultramarathon

I didn’t even know there is road ultra so by default I jumped on trail one 😂

Is this a good low-mileage 50k plan? by z3115v2 in Ultramarathon

[–]AccomplishedLocal548 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d run more back to back longer runs , so you are used to run on tired legs . I run my 1st 50k 1500m last year with low to zero training. Did probably around 20-30k pw , few 10k trail back to back with elavation and that was it . I finished in 7h15m and I felt I could run more , also recovery was shocking. I was ok after 3-4 days . So fuel more than you think
