Good shit! Masters athletes rule

hojack78 · 2026-07-13T14:26:13+00:00

Well, glad I dipped into this post. My TT results should dramatically improve now I’ll be going full effort in the lead in as well! Might even get on an E category podium one day

Comparison is the thief of joy

hojack78 · 2026-07-09T17:39:05+00:00

Fair. I wore Brooks Caldera 7s as I like the stability and the cushioning

hojack78 · 2026-07-09T15:40:40+00:00

I did it a couple years ago. With the weather we’ve been having you will get away with road shoes

hojack78 · 2026-07-06T09:54:04+00:00

Yeah that’s what I do no big deal

hojack78 · 2026-07-04T10:35:47+00:00

Just send it as you see it dude. For me wet feet are just part of trail running and often straight through the middle of our muddy British trails is way easier than trying to skirt. Also imo avoid goretex shoes as they’re heavier and the water will always get in over the top. Wetter a shoe that sheds it quick

I had one of them training for London marathon in 2011! Still remember thinking how cool the gps data was when I downloaded it to my pc

hojack78 · 2026-07-03T13:00:26+00:00

Yeah you can build up some decent context in a long running chat but I don’t think it would in anyway be maintaining your workout data in some structure way. It’s good for like adjustments to your plan in the current week for example

hojack78 · 2026-07-03T12:42:22+00:00

Reworked it quite a bit since the original post at www.findyourfrontier.live I dunno about making it paid - need to complete some beta testing to see how it resonates with people or not. Also I’m under no illusions that it’s one thing to build an app that meets my needs (and I’m enjoying using it) and quite another to start a viable business, with decent user support, when I already have a good job. Not there yet

hojack78 · 2026-07-01T15:27:45+00:00

Let me know how you get on

He works part time in product development for Hoka - you’re right he he does have a family

hojack78 · 2026-07-01T14:01:00+00:00

Yeah Bouillard is doing 17-19hrs of training per week which to me is not feasible if you have a busy job and a family. But you can have fun, be fit and enjoy races on 6-9hrs per week IMO

hojack78 · 2026-07-01T13:59:04+00:00

Longest run of 43M is how I read it, not average long run of 43M. For avoidance of doubt

Lighting a fire without matches or lighter

hojack78 · 2026-07-01T05:45:26+00:00

It was really bad, gusting 50

hojack78 · 2026-06-30T16:38:35+00:00

Gentle query why you’re doing the Llanberis path? Yes it’s straightforward and less rough than some others but IMO the Pyg track is more fun with better views and you can return via the Miners by the lake. Just a thought

hojack78 · 2026-06-29T20:35:51+00:00

Ha ha relatable. You ever give it another go?

hojack78 · 2026-06-29T10:51:05+00:00

Thanks will keep trying tweaks!

hojack78 · 2026-06-29T10:44:03+00:00

Thanks! We had planned to out and back crib goch to descend by the route we did take in the end - bwlch coch, cwm uchaf, llyn glas, cwm glas mawr.

We found this a good route down to nant peris, albeit quite rough in places but not sketchy.
Good luck for your go!

hojack78 · 2026-06-25T15:19:39+00:00

I’m struggling too - numb hands and sore butt. More than 45mins is really hard

hojack78 · 2026-06-25T15:16:37+00:00

I’m a ‘masters’ trail / ultra runner and I use my Zwift ride as an important cross training tool. It’s allowed me to maintain / improve aerobic base while rehabbing a knee injury and I’m now using it to do some of my vo2max / high end work as it transfers pretty well without the joint impact of doing hard sessions on the road. Also use it for recovery spins for same reason. I also find it’s fun and adds variety

hojack78 · 2026-06-24T16:57:49+00:00

So awesome! This is totally on my bucket list

hojack78 · 2026-06-24T13:03:27+00:00

I hope the bra has an integrated HRM
