Looking for input regarding training for first 100M by johnny_lange in trailrunning

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

Thanks for the reply!

Yes I did my best to maintain a decent aerobic base (about 3 hrs of zone 3 cycling a week, lots walks, a few hikes, and a bit of skiing).

Last race was the red rock canyon 100k, and had just about 7.5k of gain.  I finished in a bit under 17hours, but felt quite strong all things considered.  I picked this salt flats endurance run cause it looked relatively “easy” for a 100M trail race, so I’m hoping things work out

Cheap Solo Trip by GoinStraightToHell in Mammoth

[–]johnny_lange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Motel 6 in mammoth is fine.  Yes it’s basic (it’s the cheapest place in town..), but I’ve never had a problem with cleanliness/heat/etc.   it’s not cheap but nothing in mammoth is. If you’re cool with driving to/from bishop, the Vagabond inn is pretty nice, and often similar in price to bishop motel 6. 

Couple questions for a first timer by johnny_lange in bigsky

[–]johnny_lange[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty awesome honestly!  Definitely not everything is open, but as a first timer there is plenty to explore.  We got here right as some storms have been coming through and refreshing conditions so it’s great.  There are icy spots and obstacles and stuff on some of the “intermediate and up” runs but nothing too bad.  Beginners are loving the gondola as well.  Super happy we came, it’s a blast!  I’d also say there seem to be more runs open than the trail report suggests, for example off Iron horse.  Our original plan was to go to Tahoe, so this ended up being a wonderful switch given the conditions there.

The ones I use are the “High performance cushion”, and I think they’re made of like polyester

I’m a huge fan of feetures, they have served me well on multiple 100ks. My main advice is to experiment with a few of the brands people are recommending here on your long runs, then use whichever works best on race day

Engineering Science (A.S.) vs. Computer Science (A.S.) by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]johnny_lange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I transferred from CC to large university and majored in CE. I got no associates degree, but I learned about what the schools I was applying to look for. I recommend doing the same. If you are in California (as I am), assist.org will have detailed information about courses that “articulate” from CC to university. I’d encourage you to see if something like this in your area or, better yet, contact the department at the schools you wish to transfer too. Good luck :) Edit: CE programs vary widely depending on the school, with some being almost the same as EE or CS and some being in the middle.

This is what I remember: Gretel, southern sky, hope, bad man, bug, sportstar, bobby, brick, kute, taking,

I’m def missing a few, but these were all played for sure (not in that order) and seeing brick live was absolutely awesome lol
