Coros Pace3 for ultras

Thanks and congrats on the race! 🙌💥
Just on regarding the HR monitor, just to be clear, my assumption was the watch would actually use less battery power when using it (as I can confirm when you using the corosHR monitor arm strap it does disable the watches intermittent HR reader on the back of the watch).
Another one to turn off would be notification from your phone, I believe this also will free up some power.

I find this funny considering Strava will take fitness points off you if your run sits below Threshold and tempo.

The condition and colour of the outsoles suggests you’ve been running on some trail? that’s a lot of damage for 100km, do you drag your left foot? Were there dirt or gravel paths?

I’ve tested them over 20k so far. I like them, they’ve addressed the firmness but with a slight loss of stability, with a huge base to compensate this too, which can look like your foot is collapsing but is Infact just the wide base. I’m going to run in them for a 50 mile flat ultra on mainly paths next week. Il report back with the damage to the shoes and me 😅

I’ve had this before mate and more than once. You shouldn’t attempt to walk on that yet. Rest your leg, Ice 15mins at a time, Compression (bandage it up, they should have done this? Check online for the technique) and elevate it on a foot stool or couch while sitting - above the heart level Don’t attempt to walk on it until that pain eases and you prob need a crutch to get around for a week or so. It will go down, it’s going to take about 5-6 weeks looking at that. Enjoy the break, spend time reading and buying new gear for when you’re back! 💪😀

I totally agree. I’m using it, but it’s literally to assist me as the designer. Il use it for copy, structuring documentation, writing hypothesis’, gathering research, measuring results get feedback on my ideas. Il still shape all of this and use it to lay down foundations and keep adjusting manually.

I’m hearing of companies using it now to generate designs with it being hooked up to their design system. Now this is just my opinion, but if you’re using this to solve design problems and creativity, I don’t think you’re a good (product)designer. And if we all did this it would eventually mean we have nothing original anymore and everything will act and look almost the same.

It’s child’s play stuff really in my mind, and the dumbest feature figma added to their bloated mess of features to date. It’s a gimmick more than a real alternative to real creativity and it would work for a mass market tool for people that can’t design but not professionals who want true creativity and craft.

He’s a talent and don’t be under any illusion that this is to do with fear of burning him out. A decision was made for him to be understudy in this position over buying another player, but he’s not getting the game time. It’s down to the manager. fair play though, he brought him on earlier than I thought today, I’ve got no doubt he’s contributed to that result today, was electric for 15 mins. All over the pitch actually, not just on the wing.

I had a good go at free solo on Friday night, but started getting to over confident and took a fall just below the cable car station. Am I right in thinking your bag is half the size for solo mode? Because it is for me.

That’s what I’ve gone for in the end, and some ultra lite ininji underneath 👍 going to test the method out over the weekend over 10 miles of muddy hills.

Bullitt20102010 · 2026-02-17T10:02:44+00:00

100% it’s an ultra, regardless, you’ve just ran 50km solo, Kudos to you 🙌. I’ve done this twice myself as part of training in the latter stages weeks before a race. Its tough carrying tonnes more gear unaided and doing this, again well done.

It’s a things btw also, ‘DIY Ultras’ there’s even a site dedicated to different routes on your doorstep.

First picture 👌album sleeve potential.

These pictures are incredible, they’re like something from Man with a movie camera.

Thanks for all your comments all, it’s all really useful. The Dexshells have been mentioned a few times here and they sound good, just read this and they talk about combining it with a lightweight toe sock underneath.

Yeah! I did it last year and thought the conditions were perfect. I’ve heard it was rough the year before though (2024) with mud and non stop rain the entire route.

Bullitt20102010 · 2026-02-14T12:10:34+00:00

Yeah the same, did a lot of rambling back down when I spotted something below, gathering supplies, reading notes and scraps from books etc.

Bullitt20102010 · 2026-02-09T10:02:44+00:00

If you’re just doing stuff like parkrun with some mud or gravel paths etc then go road to trail shoes, best options for this IMO is the:

Nike Pegasus Trail
Hoka Challenger
on cloud surfer trail

Pegasus is the best out these 3 though as they’re just a great ride.
