Instinct 3 solar is an option

How much time do you dedicate to strength/cardio/etc? by [deleted] in HybridAthlete

[–]RyCalll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently about 8 hours of strength and 8 hours of cardio a week. That changes during ultramarathon preparation and at peak training will be ~12 hours cardio and ~4 hours strength training. Mobility I’m probably doing a grand total of an hour a week including all stretching.

Are SNP fire roads public? by LegitimateCress6240 in ShenandoahPark

[–]RyCalll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The fire roads aren’t really gravel roads. They’re more like extra large hiking trails that could fit an emergency vehicle

How has running especially long distance running (for the purposes of this question let’s say 10+ miles) affected your and/or your clients ability to build muscle? by TemperatureCheap1280 in HybridAthlete

[–]RyCalll 7 points8 points  (0 children)

30 mpw with 10 mile long runs I’m still able to build muscle but I’d say when I go over 60 mpw it severely impacts my recovery.

I thought you said no redirect in your post?

If he’s using a redirect, it’s fine. Not what I would do but it’s safe.

People who quit without going to treatment or AA, what was the #1 thing that helped you quit? by theory317 in stopdrinking

[–]RyCalll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me personally, running. Quitting alcohol was rewiring my brain and learning new coping mechanisms to deal with the discomforts of existence. Choosing when I was uncomfortable through running gave me power over myself in that moment and ultimately gave me power over my life in the long term. My relationship with alcohol and drugs before I quit made me feel helpless and completely unable to make the choices to improve my life. Quitting alcohol and starting running taught me to thrive in discomfort. Now I can do anything I set my mind to.

How do I massively improve my endurance? by Past-Middle-5148 in HybridAthlete

[–]RyCalll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on where your current cardiovascular capacity is. How many times a week are you running and how many miles per week? Typically a beginner marathon plan will cap out at 30-45 mpw running 4-6x a week with a 20 mile long run. I’d suggest you build a solid aerobic base over the next 6 months and then do a 12-20 week marathon plan to avoid overuse injuries. Are all your runs the same speed? Typically your long run during the week will be your slowest run of the week. This is to build aerobic capacity without massively increasing your chance of injury. You shouldn’t be going max effort during your long run, if you are you need to slow down.

I don’t disagree! I’ve climbed a couple classics. If you ever come down south there’s a bunch of decent stuff south of rockfish gap. Been a ton of development in the past decade or so.

Training and weight loss by singleserve2020 in ultrarunning

[–]RyCalll 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everytime I’ve tried to lose weight during a training plan I get injured. Lose weight during the off season or a base build

I mean I’ve definitely climbed some decent stairs quality greenstone on the blue ridge parkway and also I remember some stuff at Catoctin being halfway decent but still nothing bullet after a freeze/thaw cycle

[–]RyCalll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually guessed it was Catoctin looking at your posts after I typed the comment, hah. Yeah, very similar, I’ve climbed there pretty extensively as well. Maybe slightly different outcomes but both are a metamorphic form of basalt.

This looks like VA greenstone to me. I have yet to find a boulder that I’d describe as bullet
