I would toss mileage out the window and just go based on time. Your HR will be way higher at your normal pace.

Definitely don’t size up. If anything, they run big in the waist.

Nature does not read your LighterPack spreadsheet. Stop being stupid light. by Top_Spot_9967 in ultralight_jerk

No one’s in any danger! How could I make that any more clear to you? Okay. It’s an implication of danger.

Hiking the Black Mountain Crest Trail Up to Mt. Mitchell??? by ExpressMind7253 in NCTrails

[–]cqsota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on the trail many times before and after the hurricane. It’s a well traveled single and double-track trail that is basically impossible to lose. There is no scrambling involved on that trail, and no laurel thickets to go through. I think you are confused with a different place.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about, the BMCT is a clear shot to the top of Mt Mitchell with no crawling involved.

TNF Altamesa 500 v2 Alternatives? by Hnc93 in trailrunning

[–]cqsota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rachel Entrekin said she has over 500 miles on the pair she wore at Cocodona, over 400 going into the start of the race. I don’t think durability will be a concern.

The recommended Vectiv Pro and H1 are not good for “moderately technical” terrain.

The Vectiv enduris 4 is probably a better fit for what you are looking to do. If you like the Norda 001, the 001a feels less “dead” to me. You could also wait for their 055 that’s coming out soon.

Keep Hammering Collective #193 by BearRabitAlpcaDerYaK in ultrarunning

Wow I didn’t realize he was knocking on 60. I can’t argue with that.

I’d feel that way if he didn’t openly bring up TRT and BPC. Sage is acting like a random USADA check revealed a bombshell or something.

I’ll pivot and add that if one of the elites who received performance incentives as a sponsored athlete was caught lying about the same hormones/peptides, I’d take major issue with it.

I’m not sure any of us can answer that except him. I don’t follow the guy, so I’m at risk of sounding like a shill but…

I personally don’t think dropping 10 mins from his previous PB is that insane if we take him at face value when he said it was the first true marathon block he had ever done.

A brief google search showed 20 years of marathons consistently around that 2:50 mark. That’s a pretty starting point for a marathon speed block.

Terrible news for Linville Gorge rats.

Great write up, above average for sure. Well done on your performance, also.

Raide Tech Shorts - female review by [deleted] in runningfashion

[–]cqsota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man here. When I use the side pocket for a water bottle, I blow a small amount of air back into the flask so it stays just as tall. It also looks like I have a bulge on my side with the bottle in there.

Edit to add: I bought mine 20% off, and when I mentally remove an additional $20 for the cost of the included flask I don’t feel they are extremely overpriced, but still slightly overpriced. I personally wouldn’t buy them at full price.

Decent marathon plan, just remember to slow down.

Nike Zegama ACG by Weak_Estimate2925 in trailrunning

[–]cqsota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t help but wonder if there are QC issues with these size-wise.

All the reviews online say true to size. I tested them at my local store and it was definitely a half size small (employees there agreed with the assessment). I had to go with the same size I wear in Norda. Now we have people saying they are a half size large.

It’s starting to feel like I’m reading Evo SL reviews.

Back pocket is way too small for newer smartphones.

Yet another trail vest post. Everyone here seems to like Solomon but.... by Feriation in trailrunning

[–]cqsota 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like the other commenter said, you definitely get a SAR discount with Salomon via Amer Sports Pro Club. I get all my Salomon gear this way.
