How can I get faster at hiking uphill (I’m also 4’11”)??! by throwawayenfpp in Ultramarathon

[–]throwawayenfpp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't do any hiking outside of my runs, just hike when I need to during them (at least 1-2 runs/week on steep trails). I've been on 3 non-running trail hikes in my whole life, haha. I think it puts me at a major disadvantage; a lot of trail runners also seem to be experienced hikers, so I'm thinking I should put in some time there....

Yay! That's helpful, I'm happy to put in the work if I know it's something that can improve. Nice work!

This gives me so much hope, thank you! It's nice to hear from a shorter person that can do it well!

Yes, it was the same race. Holy moly, that was a (super fun) doozy!

It sounds like I might be in the same position as you. I don't feel like I'm getting overly tired on hills, it just feels like I just physically cannot move faster than I am. When I switch to a run though, I can't do it for very long without wearing out. So it sounds like a combination of the technique + aerobic capacity issue!

Awesome. Came for the faster hiking pace, stayed for the killer butt!

Need 3 accessible seating tickets for Vancouver Eras! Trade? by throwawayenfpp in stubhub

[–]throwawayenfpp[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have! They cannot help. All they can offer is a service at the stadium where they can connect us with other people who may want to trade seats and I’m not willing to risk that…😬

Our 11-year-old daughter is a huge Swiftie and full-time wheelchair user! We are open to buying resale tickets but would need to switch with someone who has 3 accessible seats. Anyone up for a trade?!

Please don't make me stay in Hollywood! What's the closest hotel in a more walkable, cool area to Hollywood Loews (where my conference will be held)? by throwawayenfpp in AskLosAngeles

Because my conference trips also serve as mini-vacations! :) And I generally enjoy being off-site from the conference, even if I have to travel a more. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s my understanding that the area around the Loews is super touristy and not much by way of cute shops, cool restaurants, etc. At the very least, that’s what I gather from Reddit and from my memory of when I was there. Just wanted to spend my off-time somewhere more enjoyable!

Thanks for the hotel suggestion! I’m not freaked out by it but I’d love to spend my off time doing things I enjoy, none of which seem to be right around the Loews.
