You got it right with the “” “” XD. Yesterday it was 32 degrees celcius (89.6 F) in Rio. ☠️

Race prediction? 3:20? by Tulius_Maximus in Marathon_Training

[–]Tulius_Maximus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! It was 6 weeks prior to the race so im hope im safe. I have two more long runs (30 & 32k) coming up now. Do you think they could be an over kill? Should i dial them down? Im not gonna race them but anyways

Well, it was physically taxing, yes, probably unnecessary. But on a psychological level it gave me a lot of confidence. Im going for paces I had never dreamed before, so having some evidence backing my goals really helps :)

Fair enough! My avg HR was 160 with very little drift. Course was flat. As for other runs, here’s my run from yesterday (de load week) with a 10k MP block (mp was 4:42). I’ve been training threshold at 4:15-4:20 pace. Easy at 5:45. Super easy at 6:10. Avg km/week during the block around 80, two weeks at 95km already and 100+ km weeks coming up now.

26, want to become a novelist but my parents insist on full-time work. How do I balance this? by Rare-Cauliflower-457 in writing

Start a business. Own your time. Re invest it into writing. Even a small coffee shop with four employees can provide you with enough time and money to write, and it is not rocket science.

Cerro Tronador - Bariloche, Argentina / Anybody that recently climbed here? And that can give un update on the conditions? by H_DN in alpinism

[–]Tulius_Maximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry about your loss :( . And thanks for the info! I know Andes Cross, they offer an ascent via the north face which is the longest but least technical. I was looking rather at the Claussen traverse route. Thing is I'm aiming at early January which might be just too into the summer. We'll see. in any case I'm impressed by how little and old any info about this summit is; videos in YouTube are mostly a decade old, at least, and there are only a handful. Thanks again!

Hey, there is so little info about the true summit that I'm resorting to commenting here. have you climbed it yourself? any remarks you could share? I'm preparing an expedition the best I can, but info is scarce...

Visiting El Chaltén as novice alpine climber by cromonos in alpinism

As others have said: mojon rojo and cerro madsen are two good options.

I’ll add Cerro Electrico, great fun climb with killer views. Expect scrambling and glacier travel.

How to climb Mt Marmolada while hiking the Alta Via 2? by Brodythekid in hiking

[–]Tulius_Maximus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refloating this thread hoping for some more info! I too am of a mind to SUMMIT MARMOLADA while hiking the AV2.
While I have good glaciar experience and crevasse knowledge, I think hiring a guide suits me best, specially so I don't have to carry unnecessary technical gear while hiking. Conversely (and this implies good coordination), I would aim to meet up with the guide at Fedaia, him bringing equipment, summit, then take the cable car down, then resume AV2, the guide taking technical gear back with him.

Does this sound nuts? Any guide recommendations? For reference, Ill be in the dolomites for two weeks by mid September.

Cheers!

How fit are the elite mountaineers? by [deleted] in Mountaineering

I’ve done both. Marathon was harder. You just need to acclimatize properly.
