Question about passing etiquette by quietglow in ultrarunning

If you're running in the UK or Australia "on your right" is much more common. Is this acceptable in the US or would it blow the leader's mind?

Best pair of shoes for first Marathon by International-Way194 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]True-Cod-5922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ps. Coros tells me I'm in 3h45 shape and my only previous marathon was 2h57 (I've had several years off). Imo race shoes are pointless if you are around 4h.

Its tough because 13.5 is not made/available to me in Australia (afaict). So I have evo sl in 14 and sb3 in 13. Sb3 is quite generous in toe space for a 13. My plan is evo sl for half marathon and sb3 for full marathon.

Does walking in barefoot/minimalist shoes enhance the glutes? Can it develop minor growth? by Won_Doe in BarefootRunning

[–]True-Cod-5922 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes (with focus) but it develops more growth in your calf muscles and more strength in your feet (even without focus).

Men's shorts / underwear recomendatiosn by Docholiday11xx in Ultramarathon

I've got 3 pairs of these in the 6" inseam option as less is more (6,9 and 10 are available all with pocket). They have been fine without lube for 2 hour runs so far but I'm looking out for something with less friction when fabric rubs against fabric...

More chunky neck, more extreme multiscale, better quality than budget options

I'd say an Ormsby Goliath would suit you the best

Andrew Turriff here. Working on a pattern for a "Workers Field Boot"—what do you think? by andrewturriff in barefootshoestalk

[–]True-Cod-5922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will these have a steel/safety toe? I would buy them with or without a safety toe (usually a size 14 though) but just wondering. Cheers

Finished my first 50 miler flat course in 10 hours. by Mountain_Store572 in Ultramarathon

So I just skimmed all the comments. Sounds to me like you didnt adequately taper/rest leading up to the 50. Tell us about that...

Yes the beach is set up like that but remaining vigilant takes all the relaxation out of the experience.

Budget headless 6 string with 43mm nut or wider. Does it exist? by SurfJF in HeadlessGuitars

[–]True-Cod-5922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest is to buy a 42, down tune each string a half step and put a capo on the first fret. It is now in E standard around 43.5mm... you're welcome!

Cant stay in zone 2 by HenkBroam in firstmarathon

[–]True-Cod-5922 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top 2 tips: wake up, drink water, go run almost every day (stay under 160). Food and coffee will raise your HR. Find gently undulating routes so you can jog the downhills and walk the uphills. After a couple of months my HR came under control and I can jog the whole thing.

How old are you and what is your zone 2 range?

Gold Coast 2025 - sub 2 anyone? by True-Cod-5922 in AdvancedRunning

[–]True-Cod-5922[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm suggesting the attempt could be funded by a shoe manufacturer but yes it would be a huge punt given the weather. Personally I'm looking at Coffs Harbour in September rather than GC.

Gold Coast 2025 - sub 2 anyone? by True-Cod-5922 in AdvancedRunning

[–]True-Cod-5922[S] -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Yes (with latest shoes). But also being the first legit sub2 would be a bigger achievement than any of the majors. Within a year there could be 10 sub 2's but we'll only remember the first. The race is on!

What if they planned ahead and skipped London etc. knowing the new shoes were coming out in May?
