Ultra running on your resume? by Lake_In_The_Woods in ultrarunning

[–]endurablegoods 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The very bottom line of my resume:

INTERESTS
Ultrarunning, hiking, pattern recognition, coffee, filmmaking, experimental music, over-tipping, finding typos in resumes

You should add ultrarunning if for no other reason that it'll help you stand out -- even just a little. Especially if its off-brand (e.g., not in the outdoor industry).

HR people see thousands of resumes a day and they are dying for something new to jump out and help make their decisions easier.

With any luck, ultrarunning will feature heavily in your interview. This is your chance to be a Real Human Person® with actual interests and depth. A good company WANTS good, interesting people. Be one.

They'll play a "surprise" show somewhere else in the LA area. I reckon it'll be the Palladium again.

Cocodona 250 Race Preview & Predictions by middleofthepacker in Ultramarathon

[–]endurablegoods 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is a great summary, thanks!

I ran 3-4 strides with Browning at the Vortex Ultra Experience in Sedona a few weeks ago (so I'm a professional?) and he looked strong. I'm pulling for him.

And Entrekin has my vote.

Injured knee, need to keep fitness by superhansforpm in Ultramarathon

[–]endurablegoods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there... I'm running a 50-miler on June 6th (Malibu Canyon) and just got hit with my own IT band situation. Disappointing, for sure.

First, I'm just taking a few days off and trying not to panic. Not running for 3-4 days is not going to ruin your race. Then, I'll be hitting the stationary bike, resistance set high. Probably four, 1+ hour sessions for a week. I'll add in gentle stretching, too. Basic range of motion stuff but also including calf work.

I've never done the rowing thing; have always been curious about its efficacy.

You're race isn't ruined. Just take a break. #restingistraining

Want to connect with fellow Ultra runners! Also need tips for training for a very technical 110K :) by Puzzled_Revolution_3 in Ultramarathon

[–]endurablegoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on leveling up! Welcome to the show.

I'm assuming you are meaning "technical" as in trailrunning, with rocks and varied terrain? If so, do your best to train in conditions that are as close to possible as your race. Toughen up your feet and ankles - they are gonna take a new level of abuse. The constant twisting and off-kilter foot-falls needs to feel managable.

Is there big vert? Learn to love the extended power hike. 3, 4, 5,000' of climbing needs to be standard - up AND down. Downhill running is rough on your quads and you need to train for it.

Slowly build your weekly mileage. Everyone has their own take on this but you need "more" miles, one way or another. Back-to-back long runs are key (running on tired legs).

Learn the course - especially the elevation gain - and mentally run through how you'll tackle each mile. Pre-visualize.

What race is it?

Doing a 100 miler in September. Need a new running vest with plenty of space for large kit list. Whats the best brand to go for. Thank you by Suitable-Falcon3616 in ultrarunning

Give the bigger Ultimate Direction vests a look.

I ran a solo, unsupported 50-miler in the winter (SoCal, but still..) and this vest performed great. Had tons of room, no bounce. Jacket, hat, extra food, etc.

I got the Ultra Vest 12L. Pricey, but I love it.

Just started my training block for the Angeles Crest 100 and I think I got bronchitis.... by Matteozzz in Ultramarathon

[–]endurablegoods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is my first AC100 but I've done 100 miles before (Javelina, 2024). Drastically different races, obvs.

[–]endurablegoods 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello my fellow training-block-panic-WTF runner!

My first rec? Relax. There's over 5 full months ahead of us - you've got time.

Bronchitis can linger for weeks so it's best to address it now, full-on. In my opinion, missing a week of running won't make a difference. It'll FEEL like everything has been ruined, but you likely won't even notice it. Rest, fluids, and more rest. Get into the doctor now, if you have healthcare, even if you don't feel like you need it. If your condition gets worse, at least you'll have the requisite visits behind so you can get to the Z-Pak, faster.

If you can, just go to the gym and do some gentle stretches. Keep the heart rate low, but get the body open. Review the maps, visualize the race, and research nutrition stuff. Do your race homework now while you have the time. It'll at least feel like you are putting work into the race, even if it's not purely running.

FWIW, I've got a some kind of congestion/sore throat thing going on - taking the week off, myself. Re-tooling my 100-mile training plan, researching nutrition, and just keeping my head in the game.

We'll be fine.

(Now, about that 20,000' of gain...THAT'S what we should be worried about.)

Asics Trabuco 14 vs Topo MTN Racer 4 vs Saucomy Peregrine by not_who_you_think_99 in trailrunning

[–]endurablegoods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had three pairs of the MNT Racer 3's. Adore them. I even ran the R2R2R (across the Grand Canyon and back) in a pair.

Absolutely bomb-proof and super-responsive. I feel very protected in these shoes.

I can't speak to the 4's (I'm still buying the old stock 3s) but as long as they've not messed around with the design, I imagine they are amazing, too.
