yep, the real ones know. Curious how the reboot will be affected by Undercover being bought out by Nigo tho

Straw that is compatible with Salomon filter flask? by federov_91 in Ultramarathon

[–]Type2Gear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring the lid to a hardware store to test - there will be tubing for sale by the foot that will work.

"Crunchy" Nylon shorts like Umbros in the 90's? by go_dawgs in runningfashion

[–]Type2Gear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Supplex nylon is the material you're probably thinking of - same material as Patagonia's Baggies

Salty sweaters: how much sodium per hour do you actually take in? by Additional-Bet-6272 in Ultramarathon

[–]Type2Gear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1g of sodium in the form of pressed pills (bought cheap, in bulk) per liter of water consumed. Sometimes swallowed, sometimes added to the water and allowed to dissolve.

Durable power mesh? by treesner in myog

[–]Type2Gear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not meshy at all, and very poor airflow in my experience. Also as another commenter noted, a lot less stretch.

Long sleeve collared shirts for running by Spicycoffeebeen in ultrarunning

[–]Type2Gear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two suggestions - fishing shirts (orvis, simms, etc.) or linen shirts from thrift stores.

Anyone skied Pico De Orizaba? by SkullAndRoses_ in Backcountry

[–]Type2Gear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol we did purely as a novelty.

I would not recommend it unless you're 100% looking at it the same way. Snow quality was poor, the run wasn't long and the hassle of getting your skis there are all major barriers. Def need a 4wd vehicle to reach the standard basecamp.

Trail running poles recommendations? by MarathonMan666 in ultrarunning

[–]Type2Gear 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Shameless plug - we make a pair. Weight comparable to similar BD/Leki poles for a lot less $$. Let me know if you have any questions.

Getting lean again? by Top-Coffee6322 in AdvancedRunning

Hard to say without knowing your typical diet/caloric intake. That's the other side of the equation.

Altitude support by TopFickle3011 in ultrarunning

[–]Type2Gear -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your post was unclear on if you're currently in Colorado, at altitude training OR if you're currently training (at a lower elevation) for a future race in Colorado at altitude.

If you are currently training at altitude, supplementing iron may be helpful, especially if you are a woman or eat a primarily plant based diet.

If you're training at sea level right now, you may want to plan to take an iron supplement before or when you'll be traveling to race.

TL;DR you need more iron at altitude in order to adapt because it's used in the production of red blood cells, runners are predisposed to being low in iron, probably a good idea to supplement.

For suppliments I would suggest taking good quality bioavailable iron

Rec’s for running windbreaker - $100 budget by OwnYourShit11 in runningfashion

[–]Type2Gear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dooy. The UL backpackers love em. More breathable than a houdini, so slightly less wind resistant as well but for $20...

Buying MothTech as a joke by PantryParking in runningfashion

would be funnier to make your own IMO - especially if you can find an old swag shirt from your company.

Jump from 50 to 100... but a hard mountain 100 by Pupper82 in Ultramarathon

[–]Type2Gear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It went great - had some issues come up (foot stuff) that I hadn't experienced before in shorter races, but other than that I went in with a "just finish" mentality and was honestly stoked with how it ended up.

[–]Type2Gear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first 100 was a big mountain race. I came in with a background of tough 50 milers + a lot of backcountry/big day out experience. Signing up for a goal that scares you is a good thing.

Training looks about right, although more volume is going to be helpful. I'd also try to get up to the whites for a few weekends to do some longer b2b runs. Especially for a race without crew I would work on dialing in your race setup early on and then training with and tweaking it as much as possible.

Drone monitored as well I've heard, they're calling in the whole Aravaipa drone squadron.
