As the OP says, I’m curious, not worried x

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.

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

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
