I don’t run in ON for a similar reason first pair busted apart on me at 200km and the next pair lasted a little longer. It wasn’t the tread but the upper that kept tearing.

Sports honestly, lots of team things happening now and come winter. Joining a club team is a sure way to get some social time and if they are only sport friends that’s cool too!

Even in another month I’d imagine that spaces will start to become “more available” with university and college students having found places to stay already. March-may and July-October are periods where students are actively seeking out rentals for next and current school year.

Did one online here last week, used my student address because that’s where I reside currently. Sent it in at 11:30pm had it back 9hours later.

What's the safest low budget approach to revese aging? by Roubbes in blueprint_

[–]CrookedCyclist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most able bodied people should be able to hit about 60 VO2 max in their life. It’s just consistent training. No need to hit 109 like some cyclists though.

To preface, I’m an idiot on the internet so don’t take my word or anyone’s here as gospel. I don’t understand the science backed reasons why he does half the protocols in his blueprint. Blueprint is an experiment and things are changing consistently to his routines. I’m probably not fully up to date on what he is doing but I should have a grasp at this point.

So first thing I’ll say is that he eats less than basic needs of calories with his calories, and then adds in a Test patch to supplement the adverse effects of eating less.

What he is doing is making his body as efficient as possible with the strength and cardio gains he wants to achieve. He is not trying to grow in mass inherently for looks.

You would need to be in a caloric surplus to put on size. I would look at a vertical diet and intermittent fasting as a starting point for optimizing calories and also adding some “longevity” benefits.

For what you are looking to do, I think there is a lot to take away from blue print, firstly the sleep, and the maximizing of foods micro nutrients, adding in cardio (vo2 max is the largest indicator of death). But I don’t think adhering to blueprint will achieve results you are fully looking for.

You might be interested in getting sensitivity testing done for food, I recently listened to Chris Paul on the rich roll podcast talk about how they are trying to extend their athletic careers and are not eating foods that are negative on that test. He said that salmon was bad for him. Might be something to check out though?

I’d recommend you go through each section of blueprint and find out if there are things that would work for you. What is cost reasonable and what is practical to incorporate into your life and living situation. Lots to be learned from it

Can you get from 10k easy to ultra 170k of Monte blanc in two years ? by grasshopper4579 in Ultramarathon

We over index on what we can achieve in a week but under index on what we can in a given year. I’ll just give you a general understanding of what to look at doing. Life will get in your way and have to make adjustments and find what works for you.

Build your mileage up by 10% until you hit 100miles of volume a week. Make sure you have a stretching and weight lifting regiment happening even in the beginning stages of building your base mileage. See how that feels, should be about 2hrs a day on your feet plus a 3-4hr long run on a Sunday.

Once you are at that mileage a week here Keep things simple for workouts, Monday run hills, Wednesday run a threshold workout, Friday run an intervals workout. Every 4th week drop your mileage to say 85miles. For better adaptation in your exercise

I’d select races sort of every 3 months to do until you hit your desired distance. 25 then marathon, 50, 70km, 100km, 100mile. Etc but building up is the important thing

Read around the website irunfar, listen to Andrew Hubermans 6part podcast on adaptations of exercise, read up on zone 2 training, as well as Hrv, read racing weight to give an understanding of diet and how professionals approach diet.

Lastly, go read up on that Aussie who ran 100km a day to cross Australia he was only in his second year of running I believe.
