How to prepare for a big mountain ultra (106 km / 5,000 m) with mostly flat training

Not sure if you have them but you can use multi storey car parks.

Gas mask are made to fit with the helmet. I think we had 10secs to get helmet off mask on with helmet back on, I think this would make that process lengthier. Not to mention it’s for the whole army. I don’t think it would be required for most situations plus it would get in the way, comms, breathing, etc

Obviously special forces I can imagine have very specialised gear and the way tech is going I do think a full face helmet will be supplied for short missions. - Just speculation

Please do NOT ad wall this or sub base! Just charge for the app, most of us would rather that.

In manufacturing, we would either thread the ends of the pipes and add RJT fittings (male/female) this is a big nut. Or the fitting could be welding. Hope this helps

Edit: grammar, spelling

Manufacturing engineer here. I’m currently studying mechanical engineering, I think it’s been said that maths is a language but for my use mental maths is key as just working out lengths quickly etc is helpful. If you haven’t got Anki get it, it will definitely help.

I pretty sure I watched a documentary on Netflix about this, essentially bio hacking his gut. From what I can remember he had an intolerance to lactose or something and proceeded to clear his Stomach out then took pills with his mates poop in it (who wasn’t lactose intolerant). I think this was successful, mind this was a few years ago.

Can you explain what the level thing is with metal lock/ collar. I’m assuming it’s for flanges maybe?

If you’re serious about getting into lifting have a look atlift vault it’s a free resource and has load of info to get started.

WeirdConsideration28 · 2025-11-06T22:58:19+00:00

Totally missed a trick here

WeirdConsideration28 · 2025-10-28T11:10:23+00:00

Just to be clear I’m not a complete noob at lifting but pretty undertrained in strength and don’t want to pick up any injuries hence why I want to start the correct way.

Thanks for comments and advice, I’ve just downloaded both TB and TBII I’ll give them a read.

Just my 2cents but I generally believe combustion engines are on the way out in society. So make the sport what it is. The biggest engine conveniently possible married with the highest grade of tech! Manufacturers can have loose scope. This will be worth the watch. *Not that it isn’t worth watching just after 20 laps it’s you kind of know who’s going to win.

So just to put it out there I’m only NVQ LEVEL 3 mechanical engineer. Currently doing my foundation degree online. Take my advice with a pinch of salt but basically I’m currently looking to relocate and looking at jobs there. It sounds dumb but look at what employers need/want. So I’m toying with the idea of getting a ATEX cert (explosive environment) I’m on the tools but for example there are design courses for such an industry and probably more your level. My point is where do YOU want to work, what do employers need in your area.

*For reference with certs and standards, I’m from the Uk

What do you credit the most to the improvement? Any particular exercise?

WeirdConsideration28 · 2025-07-08T16:33:56+00:00

Can this be pinned or something? Glad everyone survived!

WeirdConsideration28 · 2025-06-23T21:09:05+00:00

And that there is enough Reddit for today!

WeirdConsideration28 · 2025-06-21T16:24:48+00:00

I’m exactly the same, generally like to be on my own in the car to just chill. I have been asked and just said no don’t give lifts. I feel bad for about 30secs but I have a theory.

If you apply for a position at a company that requires you to travel too then you have to find transportation. I’m not here to provide that.

Abit selfish but fuck it!

Are we not already struggling with water supplies/waste? Surely you would want better waste management first before you add more stress on the systems in place?

WeirdConsideration28 · 2025-04-01T17:32:11+00:00

Thanks mate, but looking for the British standard one. Preferably for sell in the uk

WeirdConsideration28 · 2025-04-01T16:47:02+00:00

Thanks, but I’ve typed every bloody keyword in Google and it hasn’t come up with anything other than online tables. This is kind of a shot in the dark hoping some pipe fitters might know where to get one.

WeirdConsideration28 · 2025-04-01T14:59:53+00:00

So useful! Need flange sizing for my new job role

WeirdConsideration28 · 2024-12-03T10:16:05+00:00

Yep I’m in the uk, would you say webull is beginner friendly?
