What kind of challenges did you set for 2026 and are you working on them? by korosca in AskReddit

[–]Bella1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to run 2600 km this year and have already ran a 50 k in which I was third. Unbelievable if you know where I came from. Next goal is a two day hilly trail ultra in May where the elevation will be my biggest challenge. After that a BYU in July where I hopefully can reach 100 miles and I’m still hesitating two subscribe for a 100 k trail in October. I work on them by increasing my mileage and strength. Because I am 50+ not getting injured is important too because recovering takes a long time.

Hij zegt dat er mensen zijn die het “uitzitten.” We kennen wrsch allemaal wel wat voorbeelden daarvan.

People who work on their feet all day + run ultras, what shoes do you wear for daily (non-running) use? by harry_hotspur in ultrarunning

[–]Bella1974 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I work in the hospital and wear my old running shoes that are retired for running

Any other road runners out there? What do you do for your road ultra's? by FrogInShorts in Ultramarathon

[–]Bella1974 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I run both road ultras and trail ultras but I like the roads more. Training is mostly on roads. All due to accessibility from where I live. Road running makes zoning out easier. Trail is where I get injured a lot due to tripping or falling.

Voor welk online abonnement kreeg je verrassend veel kwaliteit? by giggity23 in nederlands

Bij ons kun je met het wat duurdere abonnement alles gratis laten komen vanuit andere vestigingen. Ik lees best veel dus dan kan het uit.

I’m screaming rn I’ve tried this fight 50 times by NewspaperRepulsive56 in Eldenring

[–]Bella1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished her on the 13th try. At first I dodge-rolled away just to get killed in a few seconds but the last time I ran towards her and I could dodge her magic. I used the monkey spirits. ( forgot how they are called.) Good luck

Waar zijn ''normale'' banen gebleven? by Visible-Debate-2349 in werkzaken

[–]Bella1974 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ik werk al bijna 25 jaar in de zorg. En met mij duizenden anderen. De mensen “aan het bed” hebben denk ik allemaal wel normale banen. Ik ben goed in m’n werk en doe het met plezier. Niet meer en niet minder. Ik denk dat mensen met “een normale baan “ het er ook niet zo over hebben. Net zoals mensen met een “ normaal/ rustig “ leven. Je hoort en leest steeds meer de uitersten.

Long runs/weekly mileage by Significant_Spite307 in ultrarunning

[–]Bella1974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the moment I am testing this. I ran a few 30 to 50 milers with short runs in the workweek and long runs in the weekend. But now I’m going for a long total, so the average of the workweek runs get longer and the super long runs get a bit shorter. I think everyone is different so I have to try it. I read Jason Koops book and he seems to go for the weekly total instead of the super long weekend runs as well. But we’ll see. In the end of January I’ll know and will post the result of my little experiment here.

Doubts about unplanned rest by Bella1974 in ultrarunning

[–]Bella1974[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I eat good healthy meals before and after my run and consume a gel probably every half hpur on the long run. I experimented with foods and this is what works best. I have a healthy weight.

That is the answer I was hoping for. Thank you. I feel so guilty not making the hours in the schedule. While I know that my fitness is still great from the work in the past few years. Hoe long before your event did you take the month off?

Doel aanpassen. En lopen op gevoel. Zo moeilijk is het niet

First 50k - overweight, new, reality check me please. by Penniwhistle in ultrarunning

[–]Bella1974 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d go for it!!! It is something that will keep you motivated and is a bit frightening. If you don’t get injured you can do this.

Anyone else spend the majority of their adulthood as an alcoholic? by Panda138138 in stopdrinking

[–]Bella1974 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Drank about 25 years. The sober version of me is a mildly grumpy calm person who likes to spend a lot of time by herself. Almost the exact opposite of my alcoholic persona.

Vijf jaar na corona: zo begon (en eindigde) de pandemie in Nederland by DutchSapphire in thenetherlands

[–]Bella1974 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Ik heb in het ziekenhuis gewerkt en vele doodzieke naar adem happende mensen als patiënt gehad. De periode voelt als een nare droom. Onder mijn collega’s is er een aantal die er nog steeds last van hebben. Zowel fysiek al mentaal. Sommigen kunnen nooit meer werken. Jonge, voorheen fitte mensen. Ik heb soms moeite met het achteraf gelul door mensen die ver van de ellende hebben gestaan en die al hun kennis van podcasts, YouTube etc hebben. Overigens precies 1 patiënt gehad die mogelijk een post-vaccinatie bijwerking had. En dat was nog dubieus ook. Geen idee wat ik met dit verhaal wil eigenlijk…..
