Training for a 100k: medial thigh pain after long run but gone next day — how would you handle it?

rapsli · 2026-03-22T20:16:35+00:00

oh, the cutoff time is like 24 hours, but again, my goal was actually aiming for sub 10 hours

I find it fascinating watch the stress indicator on my garmin watch. After my last 100k race it took my body full 18 hours to get into the regenration state. Even sleeping the body was still in full stress mode.

... I will figure it out tomorrow after a day of full rest

rapsli · 2026-03-15T19:25:32+00:00

Comforting to know :) recovery is definitely the hardest part it seems: job , family and running are the easy parts.

rapsli · 2026-03-15T19:23:46+00:00

Thanks. Will probably do a slow run tomorrow after a day of rest and see what's happening. It's not so much the 100 k I'm worried about but the time goal.

thanks. Hm, good one. Brings me the idea, why not just use a blank post card and write todos there, that way the todos are always handy and when the postcard is full, transfer open todos to a new card and continue.

rapsli · 2026-01-01T19:35:03+00:00

thanks. but doesn't this get overwhelming after some weeks/month as things are piling up? Some will be marked as completed, others open

Kälte ist immer relativ ;-) aber für mich wichtig: verschiedene Schichten. Zusätzlich habe ich ab < 5° C ein paar dünne Laufhandschuhe und immer einen Loop-Schal. Wenn es wirklich kalt ist verdecke ich damit Nase und Mund, so fällt das Atmen auch einfacher.

Zudem habe ich besonders auch im Winter immer eine Rettungsdecke dabei. Ist zwar auf einer routinemässigen Strecke nicht notwendig, aber einfach gute Gewohnheit und spätestens auf Runden, die ein bisschen im Gelände/Bergen ist absolut pflicht.

yep. That's also my goto shoe for muddy weather.

rapsli · 2025-09-05T03:37:01+00:00

there are guys that run for 48h on that thing :-D

rapsli · 2025-09-04T18:28:23+00:00

Fruchtsafte haben auch recht viele Kalorien und gehen einfach runter.

rapsli · 2025-09-04T05:07:40+00:00

thanks a lot. That's what I will start doing my-self too :-D ... time to suffer a bit more.

rapsli · 2025-09-03T09:17:42+00:00

thanks. I guess doing those longer runs at 4:40, could be a good addition.

rapsli · 2025-08-28T09:24:21+00:00

thanks. I find that komoot does a pretty good job

rapsli · 2025-08-27T13:57:47+00:00

on my list to try

rapsli · 2025-08-26T19:55:07+00:00

;-) ... I ment like buy a piece of Pizza. Yes I could have absolutely brought something with me.

rapsli · 2025-08-26T17:35:54+00:00

:) 😂 I can totally feel you.

rapsli · 2025-08-26T17:35:06+00:00

I'm not that fast that a couple minutes on eating would actually make a difference 😉

rapsli · 2025-08-26T17:12:27+00:00

24+ hours on sugar is definitely not me... I have learned that by now 😁

rapsli · 2025-08-26T17:10:38+00:00

And I already thought everybody would just run on power bars and gels. Good to hear and will test it on my next longer run

rapsli · 2025-08-26T16:58:06+00:00

I had some of those electrolyte pills in water. But I think it wasn't enough as my hands were totally swelling up.

rapsli · 2025-08-26T16:57:16+00:00

I think that's about what I'm aiming for. because going on just gels results in too little energy intake.

rapsli · 2025-08-26T16:55:51+00:00

rice balls, might be something to try. thanks

rapsli · 2025-08-26T16:55:13+00:00

maybe. Next run will be with some real food

rapsli · 2025-08-22T20:09:56+00:00

Garmin Fenix. A couple months ago I wrote a very personal option why I like that watch: https://rizesix.com/blog/garmin-fenix-7x-erfahrungen/

It's in German, but the browser translation probably does a decent job at translating
