felttrip,

No wonder that trail is closed, I had no idea and was salty when my running route got diverted

felttrip, (edited )

8 Laps would put you at a little over 33 miles if your using the standard 4.167 mi laps. With a marathon under your belt I’m sure you would be able to hit your goal with a similar level of training following a 50k plan.

I’m assuming the 8+ lap goal is because you don’t plan on running all night, because of that, sleep (what most people consider the biggest challenge) won’t be a concern.

So not having to worry about a sleep plan, the biggest differences are going to be

  • Total time on your feet
  • Running on trail (assuming your marathon was road, if not disregard)
  • Refueling throughout the race

From a training standpoint I would make sure you’re getting trail miles that are going to be similarly hilly to the race course, target that zone 1 - zone 2 while training, and break up some of your longer runs into multiple short ones with 15-20 min breaks between them. If you can take a 12 mile run and break it into three 4 mile runs with short breaks you can dial in your refueling and recovery strategy and see what works for you.

Backyard ultra is a great goal and tons of fun!

felttrip,

Pacing is pretty individual, general guidance is slower so that you aren’t running yourself too hard but depending on the athlete “slow” is super individual.

Theres a pretty great documentary on the backyard ultra that the people who host the Barkley marathons put on, I think it does a great job of capturing the psychology of the last few standing. TLDR starting the next lap is the hardest part. youtu.be/ZRXKZSqvtrw

felttrip,

I had a couple that got stuck, I was able to retry the sub and they went right through.

felttrip,

I tried playing the OG version on the SNES virtual console and bounced off of it. I loved the remake of Links Awakening so I've got high hopes for this too.

felttrip,

Is that a Catalina? Looks like my dads 22' a super fun boat.

felttrip,

I might be wrong but I think the maliciouscompliance on the lemmy.ml instance you linked is a wholy different version of maliciouscompliance than the one on lemmy.world. It's hard to tell because the lemmy.ml one 404s for me now.

felttrip,

Ok that update clears up the question lol definitely taking about the same community in both those links. My theory is that each instance is reporting the number of users in their instance that joined the community but I can't find anything to back that up with. Good question following to see if we can get a more authoritative answer.

Traveling away from the kids - do you miss 'em?

I travel quite a bit for work, and my kids are 1 and 4. Sometimes I can't wait to get away from the house of toddler chaos and get to a bed where I can just sleep blissfully alone. But once I see their faces on video chat from my hotel room I miss them so much and just want to go home....

felttrip,

Always, traveling solo is great but the video call at the end of the day always pulls on the heart strings.

felttrip,

FYI there’s a fairly active Colorado community on lemmy.world lemmy.world/c/colorado
