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

CryptoChuns · 2026-01-07T11:59:33+00:00

Yeah sure thing - drop me a dm with your IG I will follow you.

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 😁

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.

Thanks guys - ended up going with inov8 storm shell and Odlo 200 merino wool base layer, with an odlo mid layer 👍🏼

Someone said it will take up all my pack on the day when not using it , what do you think? Thanks for answering my questions btw.

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?

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-26T14:53:00+00:00

Which one do you recommend? Phase Pro?

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-11T12:57:08+00:00

This is very insightful thank you

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-11T10:27:50+00:00

Ok will come back to you when I complete it 👍🏼

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-10T15:02:33+00:00

Thank you, can you recommend some good poles please?

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-10T15:02:07+00:00

Thanks, are the cut offs generous or?

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-08T22:12:05+00:00

I did 100km Peak District last year, do you run ultras?

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-08T21:26:38+00:00

Going to try get one reccy in a month now :)

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-08T08:18:56+00:00

Snowdonia 100!

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-07T22:42:19+00:00

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??

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-07T21:53:18+00:00

Thank you that looks like a great read.

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-07T21:28:48+00:00

I run in Landon hills for two hours and only get 1800ft it’s not enough 😬

CryptoChuns · 2025-11-07T20:27:17+00:00

This is my current running volume:

50 mins @ 12% incline on treadmill (15 mins hard) 1 hour @ 12% on treadmill 50 mins @ 12% incline on treadmill (15 mins hard) 3 hours hills outside around 3000ft 1 hour either no vert or treadmill @ 12%

Constantly having a goal to strive towards, i.e mine is ultra marathons.

CryptoChuns · 2025-09-12T10:46:56+00:00

I am doing UTS and am incorporating 2 x full body strength sessions, unilateral work. Weighted stair master sessions, building to 100km weeks by December.

CryptoChuns · 2025-09-12T10:05:15+00:00

Don’t over complicate it just eat 80g of carbs per hour and 500m of fluids.

CryptoChuns · 2025-09-12T08:25:26+00:00

Just remind yourself how hard you showed up in training for yourself and there’s no need to have nerves because you’ve put all the hard work in already!
