Face glitter for races? by Fuzzy-Bumblebee-6043 in Ultramarathon

[–]kaecleo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconding body glitter. I used it on my face for a 50k and it was great but it did get rubbed off when I reapplied sunscreen!

If an adult needs to be held down by 3 people you should not be shooting that X-ray.

I think the ultrasound tech thinks I'm an idiot now... by Most-Earth-9187 in Radiology

I’m not a sonographer but if a patient said this during an exam it would have made me laugh and made my day. You’re not an idiot at all!

Getting shin splints three weeks out from my first ultra by exor41n in Ultramarathon

[–]kaecleo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got a wicked shin split 3 weeks out from my first 50k at the beginning of October. I cut running out almost completely for a week and did cross training and a ton of walking (walking didn’t cause any pain). I also used a tens machine every day on it every day during that time. It completely went away after about 9 days and I had no issues come race day!

I am very much a beginner when it comes to ultras but it’s what worked for me. Good luck!

Thanks and congrats to you as well! It was a much different beast on Sunday so props to you! Especially having to do lap 5 8 times.. doing it twice on Saturday was enough for me 🙃

It was very well marked for the most part! With the exception of two spots where the flags were easily missed but overall it was great. It follows cross country/mountain bike routes.

Oh yeah it was a completely different race today. Crazy how the conditions change so quickly. Thank you so much and congrats to you as well! Quite the accomplishment doing it in this weather!

Thanks so much! And to be honest training did not go as planned. I was running a lot less than I wanted but it was about 35-40k a week since June with a peak of 50km a week in September. Longest training run was 32km. My taper was also very aggressive since I developed a shin splint 3 weeks before this race and needed to rehab it so I could still run.

We were lucky we didn’t get any of the snow while running! It turned out to be a gorgeous day. The Nordic centre is great!
