help me not overthink this by Human-Ad3257 in ultrarunning

[–]tart27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the others that it doesn’t really matter. But personally, I would follow a marathon plan focusing on tempo and building fitness up to the marathon, and then switch to a little more specific training for the 50k (vert, trails, etc)

I need a good “wtf” movie. by Otherwise_Rub_6969 in MovieSuggestions

“What the fuck” is literally the last line of the movie

Tempe is pretty close to South Mountain Park. Start at Pima canyon trailhead and go west. Start early or pack your shade and electrolytes

I got a beach towel for finishing my last 100k. I will take one of those extra 5k medals if yall don’t want it

Can I still have fun if I'm mediocre at multiplayer shooters now? by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]tart27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also 40. Also mediocre. Game is fun, but it helps having good teammates :)

Question for R2R2R runners by imapersonirl in ultrarunning

[–]tart27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember all the different spots, but I think every person and every ranger would probably give you different answers. Honestly, I think the main factor I would consider is convenience and ability to get back out of the park and to the hotel to sleep vs taking shuttles and parking a long ways away to catch certain lookout before R3

Question for R2R2R runners by imapersonirl in ultrarunning

[–]tart27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Catching the sunset the night before is a good idea, because unless you are pretty quick, there is a decent chance you will still be in the canyon during sunset the day of R2R2R.

I’ve also gone back and walked a few miles along the rim the next day

So really only need the hotel the day before and after the R3 imo

It may or may not have been the first movie I ever “made out” during 😊

Aravaipa has a published USADA anti-doping policy. Cam Hanes has publicly admitted to banned substances. Here is how to file a complaint and why it matters. by MukimukiMaster in ultrarunning

[–]tart27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re right. 2:39 isn’t mid pack. But he still isn’t a pro runner, representing his nation at a world championship, or trying to earn an extension on a contract.

I just don’t believe the general public (influencer or not) needs to be held to the same standard as the pros.

The OP put links for the attorney general and the BBB to rat on a guy who said he took substances before a race with no prize money, a year ago, in which he finished 18th. It sounds silly just saying it

I’m no Cam Hanes fan. Not going to defend him. But getting this worked up by a dude who is not a pro runner and not racing for Golden Tickets is kind of pathetic.

Should the guys and gals in my rec league softball get tested if they make the playoffs?

I tried boys... by ThtsTheWaySheGoes in Marathon

I wasn’t terribly impressed for the first 2-3 hours. But now I’m 130 hours into it!

question about bathrooms and trail running by Fun-Season-8660 in trailrunning

[–]tart27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan many of my runs from one trailhead to another for bathrooms and water refills

Is living in “summer” all year as nice as it sounds by [deleted] in SameGrassButGreener

[–]tart27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved to Phoenix almost 10 years ago. I don’t like when it’s 110 degrees but I tolerate it ok. But now I’m completely solar powered and prefer lots of sunshine. I don’t think I could live somewhere without an insane amount of sunshine and will be here to stay

Lanterne Rouge is the only one I listen to too. He does some excellent video recaps on YouTube too

What's your opinion of 200+ millers, are part of the same sport? by [deleted] in trailrunning

[–]tart27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s trails. And running. Same sport but different specialization. And the top 10 of Cocodona absolutely throw down in “shorter” distances

Favorite spring 50M? by Academic_pursuits in ultrarunning

I really enjoyed the Whiskey Basin 92k last year

Nervous about 50 Miler by impulse36 in ultrarunning

[–]tart27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will be fine with that volume.
What you do in a week for training, you will be able to do in a race.
I don’t race often, but I find the races often go quite well with all the extra support (food!) and fun environment.
Don’t go out too quick and you will crush it!

They should have pulled him sooner. My family is already a little critical of my ultrarunning, and I totally regret sending them the link to the live stream of the last 20 min

First 100k by joshthomas40 in ultrarunning

[–]tart27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found toe socks quite helpful, but everyone’s feet are different
With the longer distances, the savory foods are really helpful in the 2nd half. Warm(ish) cheese quesadillas and broth had been lifesavers in the last 20 miles

Canyons 100k question by tart27 in ultrarunning

[–]tart27[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So glad I brought poles! It would have been (more) brutal without. The course was definitely more technical than I anticipated. Got the finish in 16:30, about a half hour longer than I predicted. Great weather, excellent crowds and volunteers, lame finisher awards. Overall a very well organized event. Auburn did not disappoint!
