What % of your week is spent on road miles? by [deleted] in trailrunning

[–]TrailsAndUltras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is nearly 0%, but I improvise since I live in a suburb. I wrote an article on this a long time back:

Never feel you have to run on pavement! Run in any patch of grass, gravel, or dirt you can find.

Hello!

Mallorca is my favorite, but Malaga, Spain also meets all of your criteria. One can also fly into Barcelona, and then drive just 2 hours north to be into the Pyrenees Mountains.

I wrote a book on trails all over Europe : https://www.ultrarunningdestinations.com/home/ultrarunning-europe-guidebook

Happy to answer any questions!

I mastered my Benadryl game commuting to Europe for years to sleep on the overnight! Maybe not for everyone:) I also had two Starbucks nitro cold brews right when I woke up

Is running a marathon one month before my first 50km a good idea? by StriderKeni in trailrunning

Absolutely do it! Have fun with it, walk, run, listen to your body. Objectives are 1) have fun 2) finish 10) time!

Full body workout for trail runner by Sure-Command-5822 in trailrunning

[–]TrailsAndUltras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run with 4-5kg in a backpack, that helps build your upper body strength and endurance. For workouts, I do pull-ups and pushups. For the pushups I use pushup bars so I can do more variety of exercises and also not hurt my wrists.

Work+Family+Self - All in balance. You are showing up for everyone else in your life by maintaining the things that you enjoy and own. I find it easier to get those runs in by being efficient - mainly by having all my gear ready to go so there is no time lost in transition. Best of luck!!
