What is your diet in the months leading up to a marathon? What would you eat before a long Saturday or Sunday trip, or on your off days?

Im attempting a 200 mile trip this summer, Seattle to portland. I'm having gear and set up madness. I tryed running shoes but im thinking I like my vans better, im using dad bods but think I may go back to 85mm speed vents. May take off the Paris trucks for tensor trucks... don't know what to wear for pants, I dont like spandex

I'm interested in doing a directional setup - the middle ground. I see that you are using what looks like a Pantheon Supersonic? What front and rear setups are you running with it for the "middle ground" directional setup that you mention? Thanks!

I've never owned a "pumping" board but I first learned it in the late '70s on a homemade longboard with Indy 151s and Red Krypyonics. I got much better at it when I picked up skating again in the late '90s and actually got into the slalom scene. These days I don't skate anymore (i'm 60 with an artificial hip) but the last time I did skate was on a 35" giant slalom board with super adjustable precision GOG trucks, set up for pumping on smooth flat ground. Something like 65/15 degrees. I used to regularly ride over half a mile at a time without putting a foot down until my mid 50s!

Never having really tried pumping or tried learning how to, I watched your video, went down to a nearby carpark and managed to nearly do a full lap only pushing about 3-4 times per-side (rectangular space), then pumping away. I guess everyone is right and this is an excellent instructional video! During the practise sesh I also found sometimes the pumping action actually slowed me down, so that must be me "throwing my wieght" at a discordant timing. Still very new to this (2 months in as a complete novice) and so so much fine tuning on everything to be done :), I still get nerves every night, but thats how you know its somthing actually worth doing and has truly addictive potential as a hobby.

When you skate on a tread mill, does it feel like constantly pushing up a slow grade hill? Or can you pause a second or two and cruise without rolling off the back? I also was very interested in seeing the camber toe specifications. Are these used the same method as automobiles? It just sounds strange as I only have known of straight axles for trucks.

Hey Adam, great Video. Have you ever thought of going keto for an ultra ? I think the permanent energy and lower volume of food might help. There seems to be a strategy in the marathon space to increase mitochondria by strategically removing Carbs during Training, Dr Feil seems to be a source for that. Good luck on the ultra!

@BlueridgeLongboardProject3 ай бұрын
Really depends on preference, but, IMO if you're more pump heavy ide recommend 90mm if you're more push heavy you can lean on the larger wheels ide wager! Haha a lighter 102mm wheel also pumps well but I'm biased.

I make soda at home. I use sucralose (a zero calorie sweetener) because 1 liter of soda would require about 100 grams of sugar. When I go out on one of my 6-8 hour summer longboard days, I mix a few liters of a sugared variety with a poweraide-style electrolyte profile. Sometimes I go sugar-free if I want to lose weight. My question for you is - what type of sugar are you consuming? Sucrose? Or is it some sort of high performing blend? I personally avoid fructose unless it's delivered via sucrose since there's potential for non alcoholic fatty liver plus I have type 2 diabetes in my family.
@BlueridgeLongboardProject3 ай бұрын
Hi Erich, I'm using a maltodextrin and fructose ratio which is pH balanced with a little bit of sodium, (isotonic) in essence. All sugars, especially in gel form, are not ideal, which is why they balance a variety of them with these gels. Here's a bit of an in depth explanation. Essentially it's a balance of maintaining hydration without drawing it out with sugars, where and how these sugars impact absorption of water varies, expanded on a little more detail below. I do agree though generally I'm not a huge fan of pounding the sugar, it makes a lot of sense to eat solid foods or real carb sources from a gut and human health perspective. You just can't eat that much fiber or digest enough carbohydrates of solid food unfortunately in a 24 hour race at a higher pace. When fructose and glucose are ingested in combination (either as fructose plus glucose, or as sucrose) the mean oxidized amount of the mixed sugars is ~66%, as opposed to fructose at 29% (women) to 45% (men) and glucose at 58%. But the actual absorption rate of the sugars is the contention here: glucose is absorbed from the intestine into the plasma via more than one active glucose co-transporter protein; reducing the contact time with the gut lumen. Fructose, however, is less efficient and slower to be absorbed due to less active transport mechanisms; leading to increased contact time with the gut lumen. Why is contact time significant? With incomplete and slow absorption, fructose produces a hyperosmolar environment in the intestines. What this means is that there is more solute than water, causing an increased pressure, signaling fluid to be drawn into the intestines, producing the known feelings of bloating, gas, diarrhea, and general GI discomfort. Maltodextrin, a polysaccharide with the building blocks of glucose, is used in gels instead of straight glucose for several reasons. The primary rationale that maltodextrin does not affect osmolality as significantly as glucose, fructose or dextrose. Because maltodextrin is a long chain of glucose molecules, it doesn’t add as much to the number of solutes in a solution, thus a solution (gel or sports drink) can contain quite a bit of maltodextrin and still have a faster gastric emptying rate. From a carbohydrate availability standpoint, this is appealing as resultant glucose molecules are absorbed through the several glucose co-transporter proteins. Here is the caveat: because maltodextrin is a long chain of several glucose molecules, it is not completely hydrolyzed in the stomach; but continues in the small intestines where most of the hydrolysis takes place. In the small intestines, these multi-chain glucose molecules create the same hyperosmolar environment in the intestines as fructose. The sodium-glucose co-transport mechanism is critical for FLUID and glucose absorption across the cell membranes. Glucose is absorbed by the small intestine using an active process. Initially, the glucose and fluid exits the intestinal lumen via the sodium-glucose cotransporter protein, and is facilitated through an additional protein “gate”: GLUT-2. With the glucose, water and sodium also enter the blood; contributing to blood volume.

You can also use some electrolytes in a bottle of water with a little bit of caffeine that works fine for me or just use a pre-workout and mix it in your bottle

It would be really fun for you to go through all your UltraSkate set ups and explain you thought process at the time for why you chose what you did. I’m excited to hear how this setup does for you this year and curious what you like and didn’t. I’m liking the direction you’re going with this setup. Light, low, and comfortable! P.s Would you take the same set up to chief ladiga?

I'd love to see a video or post sometime about your commuting setup, specifically any gear you especially like for lousy weather and road conditions: wheels, shoes, clothes, backpack, lighting, any other insights which might not be common knowledge.
