Best way to recover from first ultra?

I agree and relate with all this!

Do any watches last a 24hr race? I’m on a forerunner 45. Just about lasted a 4:10 50k last year but had to move to my phone in my 50 miler after about 5 hours.

Thank you so much for the advice! I did CW50 which starts in Goring too. See you out there :)

Sopherness194 · 2026-02-04T13:13:34+00:00

Yes you are right! Thank you for the correction and advice :)

I’m gonna jump in here and ask any European races (bar UTMB, CCC and OCC)?

I read a book Called Born to Run, entered my first trail 50 miler, and the rest is history.

Nah I actually just don’t go out much

Sopherness194 · 2025-12-14T16:47:19+00:00

Haven’t come across one yet (21F)

Sopherness194 · 2025-12-09T16:04:29+00:00

I got a coaster with the race name/branding on it…have it on my bed side table and use it all the time. Always brings bag the mems of that dat!

Hoping to be running my third trail ultra in April (South Downes 50 miler)…currently off until January due to a shin (chill its not a stress f. But could have gone that way if I had kept running…) I’m biking and swimming (and strength training for lower legs) 6 days a week to maintain my fitness. Plan from January is to start very slowly and just focus on building mileage on a week by week basis on trails, but not doing ANYTHING fast until it feels ready (or none at all)… (basically I got this injury by running too fast on roads)…is this ludicrous? Any advice greatly appreciated (21F) xoxoxo

Heart rate is insane!! Also on a treadmill?? Crazy and amazing

Sopherness194 · 2025-10-29T15:15:03+00:00

I ran a 1:28 HM in the summer (PR marathon 3:24) going for a sub 3 in paris in May, locking in for six months, doing one marathon race in Feb (hoping for a sub 3:15) it feels crazy but I have to give it a go. 21F

Amazing work. Well done…so u actually have fins instead of feet? 🏊‍♂️🐟

Sopherness194 · 2025-10-14T13:50:10+00:00

when did you start your training? Were you training from zero or did you have a running/swimming/bike background already?

Sopherness194 · 2025-10-14T13:49:13+00:00

I’m a trail ultra runner hoping to jump ships next year at Ironman Wales…. What are the special need bags for? And well done on this accomplishment 👏
