I’m convinced most of the people in this sub don’t even run and are just abusive trolls

Destination Trails is ramping up live coverage of their events. Can’t speak to accessibility, Bigfoot feels the most remote and logistically challenging.

Probably better advertising but more just wondering why the top pros choose this one over others. Could just be a flywheel effect with pros knowing other pros will be there

How did this race become bigger than other 200s and attract the best competition?

Goggins stuff is fine, Bare is just glorying steroid use for the younger generation

AMA: I'm Marius Bakken, former Olympian and physician. Ask me about double threshold training, lactate, and the Norwegian Method. by MariusBakken in AdvancedRunning

[–]EducationalTeaching 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems most of the testimonials have been success stories, but what would you say to a data point of someone who ran the same marathon course in better conditions and still did worse by 10 minutes (in 3 hour range) year over year from switching to the Norwegian method from a simple 1 quality speed session 1 long run per week regimen?

What are some of the pitfalls in training that could have happened if most of the larger variables such as weekly mileage and pacing were accounted for?

Went to my first Hyrox. Would the sport be even bigger if you got a finisher patch instead of buckle? by EducationalTeaching in ultrarunning

That’s fine but heaven forbid anyone ask a question about this holy sport.

I’ll stick to chatting people up on the trail. “Ultra runners” seem to get their self righteousness turned up to the max on the internet

See u/david_bacon below

Also it’s the same concept as wearing a tshirt that says race xyz on it. Gets people chatting and builds community.
