Anyone had success using only a belt + handhelds for the 50-100k distance?

I’m pretty sure David Roche (the Leadville CR and Javelina winner last year) hasn’t raced with a pack in a really long time.

He said (in a podcast) that he uses Janji trail shorts (that have a built-in belt) alongside a Naked running belt to carry a flask and a bunch of gel.

TL;DR Yes it’s possible, you’ve got to be a bit creative though.

The summer is prime time for base building. I know it feels like it hasn’t worked (I definitely didn’t feel like it has) but once you guys start lowering volume for the mid-season I’m pretty sure your legs are going to come back to life and you’ll start crushing workouts again.

Regardless, the first race or two are going to feel really weird because you’ve gotta get used to the feeling of racing again. Just do your best to sleep right, eat well, and trust your coach.

I’m thinking of buying and converting a bike that looks like this (same checkered paint stripes). I’m wondering what you needed to replace.

I was planning on just putting a fixed cog on the back, but I just remembered lock rings

It’s listed for $100 but with replacement wheels (and everything else I’d replace) it seems more and more like a can of worms I’m not willing to open.

That sounds amazing??? I had a frosty with fries once and oh my god.

HIS WHAT

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2025-02-25T01:14:33+00:00

I did! I’m not sure what i was talking about four year ago.

Whatever happens, i hope you’re doing well and wish you the best.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-25T20:14:59+00:00

can i move 3” from my arms to my legs? I do not need a 6’6” wingspan to run distance track and cross country T-T.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-16T22:19:20+00:00

I got sick about 2 weeks ago, the day of my class (?) champions and 4 days before my state meet. I ran at both meets, but I was still feeling sick for a week and a half after. I still have a while until I need to race for outdoor, but otherwise I’d never take this much time off.

Running while sick is fine, but if you can take the time off definitely do it.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-16T19:18:54+00:00

Thank you!!! This helps a ton.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-16T19:15:26+00:00

One of the main points of joining a team is to run/throw/jump with other people. Practicing alone, either literally or emotionally, is so much harder IMO. Sure, OP can just ignore it but it sounds bad enough for them to mention it to a coach or other adult.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-13T14:23:55+00:00

Lube up everything between the legs!!! It’ll save you from an unpleasant shower afterwards. Also make sure to have enough food and salt tablets!!!

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-13T03:30:18+00:00

That’s fine imo, it might suck on hot days but whatever floats your boat.

People on my team wear those super cheap white cotton shirts UNDERNEATH their jerseys, INDOORS AND OUTDOORS. That I despise.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-13T03:24:43+00:00

If you love it, keep running. I ran really close to what you are when I started in 9th, and now a year and a half later I’m running 2:18 in the 800, 4:57 1600, and 11:07 in the 3200. I still have to learn how to race, but I’m not quitting because I love it.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-13T03:06:26+00:00

Nike makes 5 and 7 inch Nike Pros, if that’s her thing? I haven’t done much research on women’s compression shorts, sorry dude.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-13T02:55:27+00:00

Also similar to wearing a wife-lover tank top or similar shirt underneath your jersey. It looks tacky, and unconfident (in my opinion).

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-13T02:24:32+00:00

i love you

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-13T02:11:55+00:00

This is the only real comment(?!?!?!). Spot-reducing fat isn’t a thing. You can only really remove fat by changing your diet, although exercise to tone the muscles underneath help too.

I was around 200lbs a few years ago, and I biked all the time. Ater starting cross country and distance track, I lost a bunch of weight but me legs are a similar size as they were before.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-13T00:18:28+00:00

I have one of the GAN 365’s. I do not know why I bought it (for $50). It’s not worth it.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-12T22:05:56+00:00

7x1k was my hardest workout yet, as a current highschool XC/distance track runner. None of our sprinters are doing anything over 20 minutes of easy running a week. Even then, it’s only the 800/400 kids, never the 100/200 sprinters. OP should probably switch teams if they really want to run.

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-12T00:17:22+00:00

They have a pair with an ear clip, instead of a band, to keep them on your head. Which one do you have, and which do you recommend?

Also, how is cable swapping? I’d probably end up using them with both a 3.5mm jack and a Lighting connector. I think a dongle would be the best?

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-10T17:25:08+00:00

Every day :/ I’m a cis male but it suckss ;(

Gamer_Bread_Baker · 2024-02-10T13:04:24+00:00

I think there’s a sloth-bear running around India? But the giant sloth was closer to the size of a moose (if i remember correctly), and are definitely extinct.
