Had to use my glove liners lately, not eco-friendly

This is exactly why you see some runners come out of the woods with one sock. HAHA!

Wait, what's the purpose of moss if not wiping your butt?

How did it go?

Danny how did it go?

How did it go ?

How'd it goooo!

@@zulkhaireesulaiman8575 got 40 miles done and popped a calf but was proud of my effort. Going for attempt #2 next April

Knees over toes guy. On KZfaq. Life changer.

😍

IKR completely different beast.

I did 100 squats and couldn’t walk normally for 1 day. Did them without stopping 2

If I eat anything, even a small snack, within 4 hours before a run, I get stomach cramps and can't run very long.

@@ezekielanderson9055 I'm definitely blessed with a strong stomach, but I had to work my way up to it. Eating within an hour or two was a guarantee that I'd be visiting the shrubs. Now I can just avoid spicy or acidic foods and head out. I didn't want to be sucking on nasty gels for an entire slow 50k, so I had to practice a LOT. The key was slowing down even more than my already slowed down pace. Lol

Same thing here. No interest in road marathons but did my first 50k ultra trail last saturday, the UTMB in Puerto Vallarta. I'm officially a finisher! I agree that eating- and specially drinking- is super important. I like to eat a protein shake with a nutella sandwhich 1.5- 2 hours before starting, maybe half a banana too. Realized this during the training runs. Then I ate something every 30 minutes along the race, whether a gel (which I happen to like) , an energy bar, or food at the stations. Temperature was above 90F (30C) throughout the race so hydration was critical too. :)

🤩😻

Good luck!!

You will nail it ! Best luck

I've never ran over 10k and signed up for a 50k in September. Pumped!

@@codyryanlifts How did it go?

@@JL_____ eneded up moving prior to the event so had to pull out. Did a 63km day hike/run with zero training last spring. So I think a 50k will be in the future cards

@@codyryanlifts Congrats man. Even not giving up was a big win, but you went above and beyond.

Wet wipes instead of TP and another bag to pack it out.

How did that go?

Which one? How did it go?

Will check it out, thanks.

thanks!! 🙏🏼

How did it go ? I’m attempting my 50k in 12 days.

how did it go?

@@sparksdrinker5650 It happened 😂 I think I prefer adventure racing, so I'll probably stick with that.

@@adventure_outdoors lol well good for you for trying it! I want to do a 50k trail run one day.

Hey Kaizze! Coach Liz here and I have to agree! To be more specific, having a daily nutrition in plan to support the endurance training is key. It's not just what you do during the race, it matters what you are putting in before, after, and during the training phases. After hitting the wall with a loose daily nutrition plan myself, I have had to learn that getting the quality calories in is KEY! THANKS FOR WATCHING!

I'd say this is unpopular, because it is pretty dismissive of those who have done or are planning on doing a 50k. Every run has its challenges for those who are doing it. If someone can jump right to the 50 mile, power to them, if a 50k is where they want to dip their toes, it can be just as challenging and rewarding.

@@benjaminbloedorn2922 I'm sorry if it sounds that way as this is not the intent. If you'd knew me, you'd know I'm always cheering for others regardless of speed or distance. 50K? Good for you! 10k? That's awesome! High five! I'm considered a pretty positive and social guy on trails, and always help a fellow runner. From my experience, ultra runners are much less judgmental. We support each other regardless of level and celebrate any achievement because you are not racing others, you are racing yourself and pushing your own limit - making a better version of yourself. It's not a pissing contest! Be it a 10k, 50k, 100 miles, it doesn't matter. Truth is, there is always someone doing more than you, and there is always someone looking up to you thinking what you do is incredible and they could never do it. And all you have to do is help those people... But as for why it's unpopular, I think you are close to the reason. People wrongfully assume that a 50k is harder than a 50miles, that the training is harder. That a 50 miles is a more ambitious goal. That saying "i did a 50K" is not as impressive as "I did a 50 miles". But that's not true at all- a good training block for a 50k is just as hard and time consuming as a 50 miles, or 100 miles really. BUT, and that's why it is a good advice, the problems you are trying to resolve are different, and so the lesson and focus in training is different. You don't just take a 50k plan and multiply everything by 1.6x.... No need!. Easy difference to point are running at night, not caring about pace, including power hiking as part of training, and although nutrition is always important, it's 10000x more past the 6-8 hours mark. In short, what you solve for is fairly different, and the way you'll solve problem during a 50k build up may actually get you wrong habits (e.g., caring about pace, limit gear you carry, rely on aid stations too much them being closer, doing very short pit stop, never sit). It doesn't mean it's better or harder to do one vs. the other, it's just different. For example, I don't run marathon myself anymore. Why? Definitely not because it's too short or easy, quite the contrary,. I'm actually a pretty bad marathoner, but it's also not my vibe. Different distance = different sport, doesn't mean. If 50k is your jam, good for you!

I thought about doing the 32 but went straight to the 50 and glad I did. 32 is no joke. But the fact that you have 18 after those 32 just makes it a mental colosseum. So I 100% get that argument. I’d agree that if you’re gonna suffer through an ultra just go to the 50 you won’t regret it

​@@fernandoconcepcion7080k or m?

My strategy is to skip the marathon lol. Going from lots of trail half marathons to 50k

how did it go?

@@sparksdrinker5650 I finished it! It was two half-marathon loops (more like 14 mi) and then one 5 mile loop. By the end of the second loop, my right knee had started hurting from all the descents and then the last loop exacerbated it 🥴 My time was something like 8:16:30 and I think cutoff was 8:30:00 🙌. Shameless plug for my channel: I vlogged about it! You can watch it here! My First Ultra Marathon | The 2021 Grand Ridge 50k kzfaq.info/get/bejne/orOIe7iJsr-rYGw.html

@@ohaiitsarielle great job! I want to do one some day

How did it go?

It went great and it’s something that I will always remember. My family surprise me and joined me for the last 4 1/2 miles!

@@jkou5549 Awesome, that must have been such a pleasant surprise. Plus 4.5 miles is already a distance! I did my first ultra 3 weeks ago, 50 k :) Family was waiting at finish line

😂 yes we have security detail follow us everywhere... or you just have to go in the middle of the day!

drink coffee 45 min before you run so you have time to go before you run 💩

childhood trauma

The thought of running a 5k represents more torture to me than a 50k. The pressure to run as fast as possible for as long as possible, especially on roads, is a misery to me compared to slow running on beautiful trails. Try it, you might love it!

@@Kelly_Ben One day. I need to get in shape enough to walk 5k first, let alone run 5k. Even a half-marathon sounds like an impossible feat, at the moment. Congrats.

@@Kelly_Ben Same for me, running for 20 minutes isn't enough for me. I run for fun and love going as far as I possibly can (within reason).

@@patrickross1694 Right? It's always a beautiful day on the trails! (I pick my trail based on conditions. Lol)
