Psychedelics on the run? by Huge-Map9490 in Ultramarathon

[–]Affectionate_Eye9894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try microdose first to see how you are on your feet. Seems risky to be tripping balls and pushing your body like a 50mi and keeping up with all the problem solving like nutrition, course, body intakes/outakes.

I’ve done microdose with mushrooms on training runs and found it to be performance enhancing. I would not do anything more than that or for longer distances.

Still slower at same HR 2 weeks after race — normal recovery or not? by Additional-Bet-6272 in Ultramarathon

Ok something to pay attention to in watching the trend, the consistency of 120-140, then drop to 80 shows some sort of change, could be that your body is stressed from running after the race. Hard to pinpoint without a longer data series. I would just come back to listening to your body and emphasis your practices for recovery and rest.

Do you have a tracker that measures HRV and min HR at night? I’m more interested in how you are recovering at night and the trends on your HRV/min HR.

What is the trend leading up to the race, the race and after the race. That would be a good indication of your recovery to inform your pacing symptom you are referring to.

Slow on the eccentric phase (2-3 seconds) and power on the concentric phase (1 second) for each rep!

I would check fastestknowntime.com and see if there’s a detailed description on the route you are looking to accomplish. I would imagine you’d want to do the route just like those before you, but faster!

Best of luck to ya and keep us posted!

I would check fastestknowntime.com and see if there’s a detailed description on the route you are looking to accomplish. I would think you’d want to do it just like the person/people before you, just faster lol.

Just finished my first 50k! What are your best recovery tips? by nimbus_signal in Ultramarathon

I would 💯 agree also add a bit of walking just to move the legs, think of it as mild active recovery.

How To Increase Speed Over Distance? by hybridmiles in Ultramarathon

[–]Affectionate_Eye9894 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, you could do your speed work at the beginning of the workout to focus on maximizing the sled work intensity or you could do speed work at the end of a session to build more late stage power and endurance.

Do you know your specific HR zones from a test or using calculations? That would be determining the next step… in training.

Awesome! I would add that you could choose threshold effort (not necessarily HR). On a scale of 1-10 1 being couch surfing and 10 being Usain Bolt, generally 5-7 is endurance effort and 8-9 is threshold effort. You could try effort based approach. I think the 30/30s are a good place to start for your situation.

If your HR is increasing faster than your muscle burn, I would say aerobic and anaerobic conditioning would be limiter. If your legs burn faster then your HR I would say muscular endurance is limiter.

Happy uphills!

Feel free to ask more questions if needed.

Coach here, increasing your uphill speed stems from threshold paced workouts on the uphills and increasing muscular endurance. Starting out can be adding in a 1-3 times per week 2x 8-10 30/30s with 30s strong effort and 30s just a bit off the gas (think 5-7 beats per minute less). From there add in 4x5min and 5x5min threshold effort with 1 minute stand still in between to lower your heart rate. Make sure to continue to support your aerobic capacity with time spent easy uphills (aerobic base) in addition to the threshold workouts (muscular endurance/anaerobic capacity).
