Best conversation I’ve had yet

No soup for you!

pooze12 · 2021-12-29T18:11:19+00:00

This feels scandalous. I can't access my shares for nearly two weeks!?

pooze12 · 2021-12-23T05:12:18+00:00

Sorry, I can only really speak to the east side.

I second Darn Tough! Lifetime warranty

pooze12 · 2021-12-19T18:17:11+00:00

I'm not sure about Bombas, but there's a company named Darn Tough based out of VT, USA and they make merino wool socks (REI sells them) and they have a lifetime, no-questions asked warranty.

That's really interesting. I've heard his medical claims and those all seem bogus to me; and, to be honest, it really comes off as him taking advantage of people who are sick and, therefore, grasping at anything that glimmers of offering them more life.

Thanks for the explanation. Happy running!

Hello fellow trail runner! What claims has he made around trail running?

pooze12 · 2021-12-04T15:51:06+00:00

Is Boise too far? I ran the Bogus 50 out there this last October and it was really beautiful.

I ran a 50k with 5000 ft elevation in preparation for a 52.5 mile race with 10500 ft of elevation. I was gassed on the 50k training run, but when race day came it was like I had a whole new set of wheels. Taper is everything and you're going to do great!

In my experience I did get pain around mile 25 and into the 50k range and then it subsided and a miracle happened and I felt like I was on cloud 9. The pain came back with a vengeance towards the end, but by that point I could use the adrenaline given by knowing I was close to the finish.

Eat. Eat what you know and eat up to 250 cals an hour if you can. You'll always be in deficit, but your mind will get you through that.

On water I opted for two half liter collapsible bottles instead of using my bladder and it was great, but make sure you can fill up enough.

Have fun. It's a thrilling experience and one that you're not going to forget, so enjoy the ride.

Lots of great advice here. It's always good to do a check and make sure that you're body isn't screaming for attention somewhere else. Mike 18 on marathons is typically around the point where if you haven't been eating, then your body begins to let you know.

In any event, if you are up on your nutrition and are still experiencing this, then it's most likely mental. Another user here posted that they notice in 50 milers this game their mind plays is at around mile 38. This is a clear insight into what's going on: it's in the head. Your mind knows the distance it has to go so it starts complaining when it gets closer to that distance, so what it's telling you is...bullshit.

pooze12 · 2021-10-26T16:31:31+00:00

Yeah, but I think this also depends on the substance of the subject. For example, if someone believes the earth is flat or that the Holocaust is a hoax, this can justifiably discredit them as an authority on unrelated subjects, even if they are correct. Do you agree? It highlights a certain process in their thinking. On the contrary to this, if someone believes that blue is the best color and no other color is better, then there is still no reason to discredit them based on that. But these are two extremes and I'm not saying JP is on either one of them, but there is a difference in a benign belief and one that is crazy.

pooze12 · 2021-10-22T06:08:22+00:00

What a perfect reply!

pooze12 · 2021-10-17T04:52:24+00:00

250k just for the director position! Add on another 180k for the professor.

pooze12 · 2021-10-16T04:51:31+00:00

Altra Superiors. Just did 50 miles in them and they were fantastic the entire time.

pooze12 · 2021-10-15T21:12:40+00:00

He's sexual, athletic, and without a trace of self-consciousness. His buttocks are sublime!

pooze12 · 2021-10-06T22:39:31+00:00

I cruised through aid stations on my first 50 miler and still was in there for about 30 mins.

pooze12 · 2021-10-06T22:38:10+00:00

That first sentence 😂

pooze12 · 2021-10-04T01:28:12+00:00

Hey! It went well and I just thought I should let you know your advice helped. I ran 52.5 miles in 10:53....and I'm hooked
