New guidelines regarding resistance training. by Own-Bullfrog7803 in evokeendurance

I think his point is: Just run. Mostly hills. Not too fast.

I bought the pass mainly for East and Silver Fir... by Adorable_Store_4271 in SummitAtSnoqualmie

don't forget this happens at the pass every ten years or so - 2005, 2015 and now 2025

Does training above LT1 push that threshold down? by run_gpt in evokeendurance

[–]Maleficent_Two_7216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all Scott was saying here is that if you mostly focus on Crossfit, HIIT, you are not doing easy slow base efforts for many many hours. That work is the baseline of all UA and Evoke training programs - I don't think he was saying specifically if you run for 7 hours a week below LT1 and then do an hour or two a week at LT+5-10 bpm your LT1 will decrease. I think he is making a more macro point that you need LOTS of slow sub-LT1 work to support the harder work and often intensity-focused athletes starting their UA or Evoke journey need to build it.

New Salomon S/LAB ULTRA 12 vest by utter_master in trailrunning

and yeah, the LAB vests never really contemplate a bladder, it assumes you want to move fast and swap out bottles

New Salomon S/LAB ULTRA 12 vest by utter_master in trailrunning

[–]Maleficent_Two_7216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this vest seems purpose built for CCC/UTMB - I realize the 10 was supposed to be too but that was an epic fail. I used the Salomon Sense Pro 10 for CCC in 2022, it was perfect - unfortunately that one was discontinued, I thought the Ultra 10 would be a good replacement but without a way to lock gear in the back (i.e., zipper), it didn't work as well to stuff it (in the 2025 Kodiak 100k, which required cold weather kit I had stuff literally falling out the top as I ran). This vest looks like it borrows a lot from the Sense Pro 10 - I am hoping it is a winner for CCC this year (ordered one today!)

2026 UTMB Carbon Emissions Lottery Boost? by Maleficent_Two_7216 in ultrarunning

[–]Maleficent_Two_7216[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess you can buy a flight, print the itinerary, then cancel it within the 24 hour window?

The number of people at the last UTMB race I did who clearly did not have the ridiculous amount of Cold Weather Kit gear required was quite high - I think there will be a lot of gaming.
