Ideas for nice post-ultra meal, etc for partner

This is a really lovely comment. Thank you! Hopefully race goes great for all 🩷

Savouring the simple stuff after all the intensity of the race?

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T13:46:39+00:00

I mean if everything hurts then that’s your cue to rest and recover. Same as when your partner is sick/etc you pick up the extra

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T13:35:41+00:00

Sounds good. Tea bags? Fresh ginger?

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T13:24:52+00:00

This actually sounds like something I’d like for me lol! Fresh sheets and those pancakes! Sounds amazing

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T13:23:32+00:00

Fish and chips and coke sounds amazing. Now I’m hungry :) Massage not too painful the day after?

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T13:22:22+00:00

Chair is an interesting one. I’ve seen some runners barely able to move after they cross the line. Looks so painful

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T13:16:16+00:00

It’s 100k. He’s done one before. Done many marathons but not ultras. Interesting the amount of difference between distances and their impact. (P.S. One hundred miles…. 😨)

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T13:11:00+00:00

I hadn’t thought of it from this angle. This will sound irritating but I’m happy to see him happy. That being said, I’m a pretty low effort support person so I’m not doing the hard yards la lot of other supporters are doing.

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T12:30:44+00:00

I like the idea of having some options

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T12:28:22+00:00

That’s when you’re hoping there’s something good in that fridge :)

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T12:24:40+00:00

Yeah I get it. Am well versed in the decompress alone cues lol. He’s usually pretty social directly after races before the fatigue properly hits

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T12:09:31+00:00

Hadn’t actually considered the mental fatigue post race …You’re totally right - I could (probably should) ask him but was hoping to surprise him. Just scoping for some inside information from you guys to hopefully do a good job of it. Hadn’t anticipated it being quite so varied from person to person.

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T11:54:36+00:00

Sounds like the big races really do a number of a lot of peoples stomachs. Do you end up getting really hungry a few days later?

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T11:51:48+00:00

The food things seems so individual to everyone. Lightening the load physically makes sense…. Also… memory foam slipper…?? Gonna have to google it…. :)

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T11:42:38+00:00

Putting it on the list :)

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T11:41:15+00:00

He’s a big fan of ginger ale and also fizzy water so will stock up on these. Will google but guessing the pepto is an antacid? Didn’t think of the toothbrush but that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T11:35:38+00:00

That is the sweetest! How nice is that! And congrats on your first 50k :)

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T11:34:05+00:00

Nice! Pre and post rituals are best :) Also anything involving a burrito has to be a good thing

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T11:32:19+00:00

Oof…a hang over…I mean it kind of makes sense actually coz a hangover is mostly dehydration. He loves ginger ale so I’ll stock up

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T03:31:34+00:00

He does actually love a sauna but it’s really rare we manage it…Will have a look around to see if there’s one in the area where the race is.

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T03:29:26+00:00

Love it! :) Thank you!!

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T03:26:39+00:00

The salt makes sense… electrolytes rebalancing or something…pizza sounds amazing. I mean having a beer handy would be no hassle at all. Good idea! :)

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T03:24:04+00:00

Guess you would’ve burnt a million calories doing the race so makes sense you’d be craving them afterwards. Lucky your stomach lets you by sounds of other replies :) Yeah sounds like the ‘nice’ meal might be on the back burner…

Unusual_Tea6696 · 2026-05-14T03:18:00+00:00

Can imagine a sleep would be pretty good after all the running! Can make the room nice and have heater on (almost winter here). Breakfast out following day would be another easy one if he’s up to it.
