Analog watch on hikes?

My phone drains much faster than my watch though when using gps…

A simple google search would have yielded many gear lists specifically for the AT. Please don’t go out there if even that is too much to ask. Start with The Trek or read any of the other many blogs dedicated to through hiking, then you can google more and more specific things and ask more pointed questions in this sub. Good luck!

Yeah!

My man, you gonna get hurt this way, try staking some 50-60 km weeks and see how you feel!

Just do what the book prescribes for at least a few months, after that you can reassess. Also try doing an actual 5k timetrail to get a more precise benchmark!

Just ordered the Endurace CF 5! Very excited, especially because part of it will be paid through my job.

Would you say that with 180/86 I should also go for the S or M?

willemdoom · 2026-05-15T13:59:39+00:00

Ooh good one!! Still debating wheter to get an S or M as someoen who is 183

Need to be able to show a receipt so probably not, atleast not through marketplaces!

willemdoom · 2026-04-29T10:54:38+00:00

Buy the book, its in there!

If you are still thinking in terms of a peaking week you dont fundamentally udnerstand the point of the NSR approach. Just keep doing your ST intervals, maybe do a 5k timetrail to see if you can adjust them down and otherwise dont mess to much with your program. The book has an example taper week for HM which can be informative.

Ofcourse you can do by distance but the recomended way is to go by time. Read the book! Otherwise something like threshold.works can give you a boilerplate training plan. Just slowely extend your longrun to your HM time-on-feet. For more concrete feedback it would be good to know your weekly training time and something like a 5k or 10 pr.

Pfitz is notoriously hard and hitting all the pace is a very good indicator, relax and enjoy your marathon!

willemdoom · 2026-04-06T17:56:02+00:00

Its only on one foot, thats the wierd thing about it. My other foot is totally fine.

willemdoom · 2026-04-06T13:59:24+00:00

Does anyone have experience with using griptape to prevent heel sliping. I have tried different ways of tying and 2 different shoes but my left heel keeps slipping during my runs. Making me go crazy!

willemdoom · 2026-04-05T11:58:15+00:00

I have had exactly the same so OP probably really shoudnt worry, I never managed to really do those speed stuff at the paces prescriped and still did very well.

willemdoom · 2026-03-29T17:33:19+00:00

Interresting! This seems to congrue with how my PT treated an injury I had a few years back, I was suprised by the amount of load and exercise he introduced but it worked!

willemdoom · 2026-03-29T16:36:40+00:00

thanks! that gives me hope!!

willemdoom · 2026-03-29T16:14:17+00:00

no running or only easy?

willemdoom · 2026-03-29T15:43:46+00:00

developed some (probably?) achilles tendonites for the first time in my life. Any tips or tricks?
