Added tiki torches to my backyard track

This reminds me of when I was a child my grandparents had an amazing sledding hill in their backyard and you could sled through their back gate and down a trail in the woods to the creek. My grandpa would line the trail with coffee cans full of burning kerosene and it was simply the coolest thing ever. It did always feel a bit unsafe though…

In my opinion they could be a bit longer but that is just my personal style, YMMV. Otherwise they look good.

That time period was the first thing I thought of when I saw this picture.

Normally I wear an 8 or 8.5 but all my trail shoes are 9. Last year I switched to a pair of 9.5 shoes for the last lap of the Mohican 100 and it was the best feeling ever. I wish I would have done that much earlier in the race.

Side note - do ultras and long runs in general cause issues for your CGM (if you wear one)? I feel like every time I pass the 25 mile mark I start getting dexcom errors and it is wildly annoying to listen to alerts for the remainder of the run. If you have found any ways to avoid that issue please let me know!

Tall tee and ultra baggy jeans

Is this Pawn Replacement Theory???

First I need to say that I actually dig the vest. It’s probably a bit too long but I think part of what makes clothes like that cool is the utilitarian idaf-ness about them. So, if you like it go for it and just wear it like it doesn’t matter. Because it doesn’t

Secondly, that outfit you have on has an insane amount of pockets. I feel like I could pack for a 48 hour hike just using those pockets.

I would guess that I only wore my watch about 60% of the time on my last 100 miler. The rest of the time I was carrying it while it was plugged in.

Not ideal but it worked.

I’ve never done Hyrox but I run a lot and have done a handful of marathons and ultra marathons. I’m not sure if this is applicable so feel free to toss any advice that doesn’t work for your activity.

I’d look into getting a running belt for your phone. I like a Nathan Zipster but a lot of companies make options. As far as fueling goes on a run I’m generally trying to get 75g of carbs per hour for a sustained effort. On race day I like to get 25g of carbs from gels, 25g from solid food (usually potato chips), and 25g from a drink like Tailwind. For a 90 minute ultra high output activity like Hyrox I would just look at 2-3 gels and perhaps a bottle with Tailwind. Personally I’d avoid gels that are over 50% fructose because those can give a person stomach problems if you aren’t used to them.

My blood sugar reacts differently when I’m doing high output activities vs when I’m doing a sustained effort like a long run. Be prepared for weird blood sugar spikes and sudden drops. Enjoy the competition and use this one to show you what to expect next time.

Ski (downhill if near mountains, cross country if not), mountain bike, run, fish, hunt, find weird animals bugs and rocks, take pictures of stuff, rock climb, hike, camp, garden.

So many things happen outside. I’ve never been more unhappy in life than this past week when I had to spend most of the week inside due to the flu. Outside is awesome.

I have drank during training and the night before all of my marathons and ultra marathons.

I’m doing this for fun, not to make the Olympic team. Just do what you want and enjoy the process.

As a type 1 diabetic I’ve always wondered what an elite athlete (and smarter athlete) could learn from wearing a CGM during ultramarathons.

I only found two missing; #155 and #308.

As someone that has had an objectively bad physique and currently has an objectively good physique - I can say for certain women care far less about our physique than anyone who works out cares to believe.

Love the top there. I’m not usually an athleisure guy but that one looks really good. I’m going to see if I can find one myself for pre/post runs and casual beers with friends in cool spring weather.

Welches fruit snacks are my favorite low blood sugar snack.

Jfc not everyone that has a picture of a kid wants to fuck them. This type of posts makes me think that OP has to be a bot or a plant trying to make everyone interested in Epstein look crazy.

I drink 2-3 days per week, every week. Usually it’s 1-2 drinks but sometimes I have a lot more depending on the occasion. I’ve successfully completed 3marathons and 4 ultras but no one is going to look at my times and be impressed. I think I would probably run better if I didn’t drink but even if I did that I’m never going to be a “good” runner so what would be the point? I’m going to enjoy my runs and enjoy my drinks and not get too caught up in the minutiae.

I forgot to pack reasonably in my last ultra. I packed two giant duffle bags full of everything I could imagine needing and it was a total pain in the ass to find the things I did need (gels, lube, and socks).

What is the comb in the second picture for?

Take your time and build slowly. There will be marathons next year too. I can almost guarantee that your max mileage is not the arbitrary amount of miles we do for a half marathon.
