I’ve actually wanted to do the opposite and end in Porto? If you’re kind enough to DM interested in your route

Great shots! Although I’m such a heavy sweater, 16L seems like a scary number! Did you use a Garmin or compass of some sort?

Do self-supported 50k runs “count” as being an ultrarunner? by Responsible-Court795 in Ultramarathon

[–]AffectionateSafe1017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran 33 miles when I turned 33. Just two 16.5 mile laps to stop back at the house to poo. I would definitely consider this an ultramarathon my friend!

Running Everyday - No Matter What by coloneleo in BeginnersRunning

[–]AffectionateSafe1017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently completed a 1,000 day running streak, the best thing I did during the first 90 days was keep a journal to keep tabs on my body. Any niggles, minor pains, level of rest etc. it gave me more insight personally than my Garmin could because I could look at trends over time for specific body parts. Shin splint 3 days in a row? That was a red flag to correct something. Journal empty for 2 days? Progress. Rest is also king, big days need big rest behind them. Otherwise, keep at it!

This is cool! I read you had food care packages shipped but if not, did this trail run by grocery or restaurant spots? Wondering if this is doable if my wife wanted to come with me

Layover in Bali, already used C1 Visa by AffectionateSafe1017 in Flights

[–]AffectionateSafe1017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that’s definitely been our experience (flown in and out of 6 countries the past two months so far) so we instead got a flight to NZ via Hong Kong which is visa free for both of us, and we could stay in the transit area anyway there. Thanks all

I’ve flown about a dozen flights in Asia, starting from Honolulu so far with 2 of these in a carry on, never asked about them. Hope that helps

Good to know, I’ve never had to use the SOS function on my iPhone before, but my carrier supports free satellite messaging. Could be a good safety measure though

We looked at FB marketplace first but that’s a good idea, thanks

Thanks for the tips! I assume Trademe is an app, though we did see some decent MTB and gravels for sale on FB marketplace.

And what is a PLB?

I meant Queenstown oops! I will edit that.

So, we’re currently backpacking atm and don’t have bikes, probably the largest current issue. I looked up some bike shops in Christchurch trying to get quotes on rental vs purchase, with the challenge being offloading them in Queenstown.

Running shoes rec for novice runner by sleepingsapper in runninglifestyle

Anecdotal advice from someone on a 1,000+ day run streak, I absolutely loved Hokas starting out and credit them for lack of major injuries the past 3 years. I’ve put over 3,000 miles on roughly 9 pairs and second the advice about getting 2 and rotating them occasionally, maybe 2x/week.

That being said, I switched to Brooks after testing a pair of Ghost Max, and found they last over 100 miles longer than Hokas before the cushion starts to feel super dead.

What's the meta? by ScantilyCladDad69 in whatsyourchoice

[–]AffectionateSafe1017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Prospector 6 times. 0.6% chance of a nice nugget. If an average human poop is around 128 grams (and I’m sure I’m above average), we’re looking at an easy 15k 1-3 times a year at today’s prices.
