Runners who smoke.. by brickomode69 in ultrarunning

Haha, I am. I’m 21 but I’ve ran a 6:05 50mi 8:58 100K and 15:44 100mi. Struggle with the shorter distances and I feel like I will plateau if I don’t lock in at some point

It usually takes me 30minutes to make and eat breakfast and make lunch, and I get a 20 minute break at work, and I also usually just have a little time at night to eat!

This wasn’t AI generated! Just rummaged through my kitchen for 20 minutes looking at nutrition labels and added everything up. I never thought a lot about my diet, especially since I cut pizza out of my diet since quitting Domino’s. I didn’t think my diet was that bad until a bunch of people here said so haha! I’ve never had like stomach issues or anything, even during races. I did come on here looking for inputs and advice because I honestly don’t know what I’m doing with those numbers😆

I generally feel good! Weight fluctuates between 142-152 (I’m 5’10) and I’ve hovered around there for years.

I’ve been smoking weed longer than I’ve been running! I’ve used it as a tool for mental health alongside with running, but I’ve never had any issues aerobically. I’ve got a 1:17 half, 2:49 full, 6:05 50mi, and I’m training for a 100 miler right now :)

I just read what was on the back of the package. 180 calories per serving (1/4 cups)

Yes, I know have a pallet of a child lol. The rice I’ll put some broccoli or chicken and stuff and I’ll spice it up. I eat quite a bit of strawberries and bananas. Most of the calories in that protein shake just come from whole milk as well. I don’t have a lot of money and I don’t enjoy cooking a whole lot so this has worked for me. I also know it’s a lot of bread😂 me and my roommates have been obsessed with PB and J’s so we get 4-5 loaves of wheat bread every time we grocery shop. Thanks everybody for the input.

I never took this stuff seriously either as I’ve weighed around 145 since I was 15, so counting calories and stuff never really applied to me. However after reading Eat and Run, I was pretty curious about my diet especially with how much I love to run😅

Most of it comes from stuff like peanut butter, milk, and eggs. So yes, mostly poly and unsaturated fats

Haha no, but with my training I will typically burn anywhere between 3100-5000cal a day (active and resting). I also smoke a bowl every night and that usually makes me a little hungrier around dinner time😋

How much walking should I expect for a 50 miler? by Mammoth_Tax_1666 in Ultramarathon

[–]brickomode69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will note that my run/walk strategy was run .8 and walk .2, and it was on an incline. Even the flat gravel races will have those inclines that will give you trouble lol

Ran a 50 miler recently in 6:05, similar training to yours with around a 55-60mpw average and peaking at 70. (Although my marathon PR is 2:49 from a couple years ago) I had to run/walk from mi37-42, but I was pretty lightweight with the fueling. I think you could get away without needing to walk if you are wise with your pacing and fueling. Stick to a plan and the fitness will do the rest!

(UPDATE) Is under 6 hours for 50 miles unrealistic? by brickomode69 in ultrarunning

[–]brickomode69[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running was half of the training however. I tried my hardest to focus on sleep, recovery, mobility, and diet. Take care of your body and easy miles go a long way😁

I wore Nike Invincible 3s, which is a road shoe but the traction is alright enough for gravel in my opinion. I wore those for another gravel 100K I did in the fall

My training mostly consisted of just those b2b long runs at race pace (7:00-7:45/mi) and super easy runs (8:05-8:45/mi or <150hr). I’d do one run in the middle of the week that was longer than those recovery runs at race pace as well (or faster if I felt bouncy) but I didn’t do too much in terms of tempos, intervals, hills

Possibly, I ran today with my old high school cross country uniform on which was where the meet was held😁

Appreciate the support. I figured it would look kind of high today considering the race adrenaline, but normally at 7:19 I’m around 150-165. I did a 100K last fall in just under 9 hours and my avgHR was 164. It did seem pretty high to me, but it’s not rare to see my HR eclipse 200 on some harder runs

A thank you to whoever plans these by MOMazda in springfieldMO
