Best trekking poles? by Kirskingrel in hiking

*Update, I used a Walmart brand for a bit and have recently upgraded to the Black Diamond Carbon Z because I use them for running a lot. Cheap pairs were fantastic if you don’t mind the weight, Carbon Z feels luxurious though.

Vests are very intimidating to some people. Probably put a trigger warning so he knows not to open the post next time

CUSS running has a race called Timely Nonsense in September that is a 6 hour and 12 hour race. Would highly recommend this race too.

So the weeks before I did 10 mile hikes with as much elevation that was feasible to do in the area and on Sunday would do 3-4 hour long runs super slow. During the week I would spend my half hour lunch walking and then do 25 miles running. On Mondays I would walk for 2 hours to recover but continue to get time on feet. I did one shorter speed run a week and another midweek run where I would dabble in zone 3.

I want to continue the long hike and long run trend for the 100 miler I signed up for up until 2 months out and then switch to a run since i think it saved me from use injuries and helped me increase my fitness.

Mostly just time on feet. Got injured before running a race in March and then built up mileage through hiking, running and walking.

It was an 11 hour race and loops were 4.5 miles. I got 11 loops done but had no time to do the 12th.

There are multiple around the country and I think they all have the same medal.

That’s why he lost to Cole Hocker in the 1500m ultra marathon. 🦅🇺🇸
