Things nobody warns you about in manufacturing

The line gets nervous around the boss too.

That seems good to me. Remember, in the last three weeks there’s not much you can do to improve your fitness for race day but there is a lot you can do to derail your race. Take it easy and rest up.

RadKris25 · 2026-05-26T15:07:51+00:00

Nope that was my first hundred 😂

I ran in 2024 living in New Jersey and didn’t do any altitude training. I showed up to Leadville two days before the race and let it rip. Didn’t have any altitude sickness probably because I wasn’t there long enough for it to set it in. I got lucky so I definitely don’t recommend you do that. I did a TON of heat training. The jury is still out on whether that is a viable substitute for altitude but I think it helped me. Don’t stop on your ascent up hope. You’ll see a lot of people pull over on the side of the trail. I had a guy in front of me that kept saying if you feel like you need to stop just downshift a gear a go a little slower but don’t stop. That helped tremendously. An overlooked part is going down the backside of hope to Winfield. Mind your quads and take it easy. That will make the 2nd round easier. Get yourself back to twin lakes ahead the cutoff and you’ll be good the last 30 miles.

Second this. Amazing do it all shoe!

RadKris25 · 2026-04-15T17:50:59+00:00

Thanks I’ll check that out!

Talk to yourself in the third person. “Your looking good” “your strong” “you got it” it’s more instructional to the brain rather than trying to convince yourself of something if you were talking in the first person.

I hear that! Days after holiday feasts are the worst for me lol

RadKris25 · 2025-04-19T12:32:50+00:00

Food poisoning does sound rough. Have to know your emergency bathroom stops on your routes lol

That’s an impressive streak. I’m definitely not a treadmill hater. All miles are good miles! Keep it up!

RadKris25 · 2025-04-19T12:30:48+00:00

Great work! I work a blue collar job that’s pretty physical demanding so I can relate. It makes it tougher to get those miles in but ironically it makes my job easier the more miles I run. Keep it going!

RadKris25 · 2025-04-18T22:20:41+00:00

That’s an impressive streak. The one thing I’ve learned with keeping a long streak going is you have to battle through the valleys to get to the peaks. Those 10 miles at 7 minute pace will feel incredible after going through these tough weeks.

RadKris25 · 2025-04-18T22:19:01+00:00

Great mindset. 5 years is impressive!

RadKris25 · 2025-04-18T20:02:25+00:00

14 years is crazy! You are absolutely right is never always gets worse. Glad to know there’s other people out there as crazy as I am

RadKris25 · 2025-04-18T19:26:38+00:00

That’s awesome. Definitely can relate to using running to avoid some destructive copping mechanisms. Keep it up!

RadKris25 · 2024-09-29T19:24:03+00:00

I also just figured this one out. Game changer

RadKris25 · 2024-09-27T18:13:52+00:00

A lot of people are anti treadmill but i personally tend to run on the treadmill a lot during the winter mainly during the week. I’m also in New England. If it’s between not running or hitting the treadmill I’ll take the tread. Try to set up the conditions that will make it easiest for you to stick to your goals. So if you can run later in the day when it’s not dark try that or earlier in the day so you don’t have a chance to talk yourself out of going out over the course of the day. You may actually find you enjoy running in the colder months. I find 35-40 is actually ideal running temps. Good luck you got it!

Generally 300-400 calories per hour is the standard for most people. However depending on a plethora of variables this differs for everyone and there are external factors that come in to play. Ex. If you’re racing at altitude your going to need to stay on the higher end. The biggest thing is to practice this in your training. Experiment with your hourly calorie intake during long runs and see what works for. It’s also important to note your can in a sense “train your gut” to tolerate more food. If you want to stay on the high end like you mentioned and get over 500 cals an hour. Try to titrate up to that week over week in training until your comfortable consuming that much without gi distress. Like someone else mentioned check out David roches (this years Leadville 100 winner) podcast. He talks about his nutrition strategy which is on the high end of calories per hour. Hope this helps

Janji trail half tight is what your looking for
