    Great to see some race day strategy and nutrition! I know you said that you wouldn't want to do a full day of eating, but it would be nice to see an updated grocery hall so that we can see what you eat more on a weekly basis to support all of this training.

    Wowo man, that's a great workout pre Ultra.
    If you allow me, I would like to give you three pieces of advice for the race:
    1) Nutrition while you run: you can try to carry a soft flask or 250/300 ml bottle with water and a gel to drink 10/20 minutes into your run.
    2) Nutrition between loops: since when you run you eat something sweet, something salty can be used here to avoid getting cloying. Don't rule out using salt pills (it could be one every hour or two) and caffeine pills (Ultra runners recommend between 50 and 100 mg per hour for someone your build).
    3) Pacing: if you find it "uncomfortable" to go 9:00-10:00 min/mile, you can try alternating 4 minutes jogging at a speed that is comfortable for you without wearing yourself out with a minute of walking.
    I don't know if any of this that I learned running some Backyard Ultras and attending others will help you, but I hope you have success in your career.
    It's great to see you uploading again!

    You made 50 miles look easy! And that pinkish red sunset with the palm trees was amazing. Great job and best of luck on the race!!

    Great work, that looked hard! Having done a few of these style races myself, my number one advice would definitely be to slow down quite a bit. Most people out there will be walk/running the laps anywhere from 45-55 minutes to minimize that fatigue, even the pros running for days on end. Keep it easy and fun and stay fueled, you're gonna kill it!

    Another cool thing about these type of ultras is that your aid is every 4 miles and if you feel like crap one loop, you can recover fast on the second. Can't wait how you perform man!

    Loved watching the video and wish you the best in your backyard ultra! Just curious, on average how many days a week do you stretch and for how long?

    I’m running my first 50 mile ultra marathon on Saturday. I can’t wait. Wish me luck

  • @pete801

    Definitely want to do the really long runs with a fully loaded vest on. A couple of kilos makes a big difference on your gait and smashes everything. I'm sure you know that because you're a quality runner.

    Serious question: You appeared to be under fueled by the end. Why not eat more between laps? For example, why not eat a burger or a pizza slice between each lap or every 2-3 laps?

  • @michaels4868

    76 000 steps is insanity 😅😅😅

    I would need to choose a route with multiple toilet options. Stomach issues would be almost half the issue with this challenge.

    amazing, I wonder how many hours you slept afterwards

    Have you noticed any differences in health, energy, running, recovery etc since you now include more meats and animal products in your diet?

    • @elijahorr
      @elijahorr  Před 9 měsíci +1

      The energy is much more consistent throughout the day for sure
