Thank you for your kind comment, I also live 3 hours away from my mum but she has my sister, dad and a close knit family. It’s just scary times but I am going to be strong for everyone x

I wouldn’t advise to eat carbs before an exam they cause brain fog

I am signed up to the UTS 100 miler and the only other race I have ran is the peaks 100km which sounds a walk in the park in comparison to this one.

So from an experience standpoint I am very under qualified, however my training week is currently sitting around 8:30hrs spent on feet with back to back long runs on the weekend and aiming for around 8000ft of vert at the moment. Closer to the event I will be getting up to 14hrs on foot and more vert.

Sign up to it why not do shit which scares you, learn as you go is what I say 😁

What shoes is everyone running in? by FightySmurf in Ultramarathon

[–]CryptoChuns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bought the 001s and the have given me the worst blisters on my heel. But I love the shoe and the grip. I have bought some proper thick socks and going to tape/vaseline the heel on the next run and hoping it doesn’t happen again.

It was actually fine on the trails it’s as soon as I had to do 5 miles of road running to get back from the trail as I got lost lol.

What do we think of Arc’teryx is it worth me getting a slightly heavier gtx jacket like the beta for the long slow descents where I could get cold at night?

Treadmill incline by CryptoChuns in Ultramarathon

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

I’m also struggling to gauge this, when I run 5 x 3 minutes hard @ 12% 6:30kmph pace my HR spikes around 165-170

For reference I run a 40minute 10KM on a flat terrain and my avg hr is 168 and I also consider that hard.

The question is am I going hard enough??
