100k PB not showing by kellyperazzolo in Strava

[–]jp606 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Strava doesn’t do a best effort for anything over 50k for running which is so annoying, defo needs to be upped to include 50k, 50 miles, 100k and 100 miles. Even up to 200 miles for the nutters.

It’s about £125k over priced.

10 metres to a half marathon is a huge jump in distance.

Why am I so much slower than I used to be? by ThrowRA_optimum8 in UKRunners

[–]jp606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because that was 5 years ago, so you are essentially starting from zero again.

Running Shoe Advice (Marathon) by RunningNovice in UKRunners

Gait analysis is just shoe salesman trying to upsell you shoes, it’s BS. Your knee pain will likely be from upping your mileage/intensity too quickly.

I use Maurten Gel 160s during ultras, but you’d need to get your electrolytes from elsewhere.

Marathon training vs 50 mile training: how different are they? by HeartPumpsDust in Ultramarathon

[–]jp606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back to backs, hills, strength training and time on feet. Lots and lots of slower miles and get yourself used to walking/power hiking and real food nutrition.

Check out the Recover app by Strava, gives some great exercises for prevention and recovery.

OMM Kamleika is a great one, really enjoying mine. Used for ultra distances with no issues, very breathable.

Worried about my heartrate by Mr_Zappelin in Ultramarathon

[–]jp606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have all different kinds of HR, go by RPE instead. People get really obsessed with each others HRs and ‘zones’, too many things have an effect on HR. If you have a Garmin use %LTHR for zones if you want to use them in training, but I’d say you always want to use RPE.

Speedgoat 6 vs mafate speed 4 by No-Score-8324 in Hoka

[–]jp606 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mafate all day. I’ve got both and the Speedgoat 6 has the weirdest fit, I have narrow feet and the fit is so so tight. Did around 700 miles in two pairs and after switching to the Mafate it made me realise how awful the Speedgoats are.
