@sam-maccuaig 9min mile ave is not too shabby at all! looking at about 5 hours then
From a nutritionist pov eating whilst exercising is such a no no
but like I said ultra running is a unique challenge in terms of calories. Only sort of other sport I can ever think compares is long distance biathlon events.Personally I would just be chucking everything back up instantly lol.
The guy I used to help struggled with food and we tried him out switching to a full on keto diet 3mnths before his event then he stuck to just a few fats and salt tabs on the run. He found his performance increased loads. I would imagine it is just what suited him and his body though so might not work for everyone.
Best of luck in the run

@ryan-carruthers thanks mate! Highly recommended if anyone is on the fence about doing something like that. Eventually your feet heal and all you can think about is the next one
-
@sam-maccuaig mate that amazing, unreal!!
So interesting to hear from somebody that has done something like that and planning for something else, I wish you all the best!
-
@matt-wood Yes continuous running, I'll be aiming for a 9 min mile pace average for the event. I'm pretty basic with my nutrition, I eat about 300 cal per hr of whatever I can keep down with a focus on carbs and fat, then I take salt tabs for cramps etc. Go to is normally pork pies and sweets!

@ryan-carruthers This coming march I mean, but I did the Welsh 3000's a month ago. Every peak in Snowdonia over 3000ft, 16 tops in total over 3 mountain ranges. Mix of running & hiking 32 miles over 14.5hrs

@sam-maccuaig Hi Sam, 50k is mental. How long you expecting it to take you? Continuous running? What do you do for food/energy?
Sorry for bombarding qs lol I used to help an ultra runner with nutrition and it was super interesting to me as it is a unique challenge nutritionally speaking.
-
@sam-maccuaig WOW!!! Thats huge! How long that take?
I used to be. much shorter distances though 5/10K. I have got back into it recently over the last month and thoroughly enjoy it!
-
@ryan-carruthers Are you a runner? got my first 50k in March
-
@sam-maccuaig I'll be all over this!!! Finished Rich Rolls book and on Born to run now!

Highly recommend Wrath on Amazon. Attempt by a couple to break the self supported fastest known time for the 230 mile cape wrath trail in Scotland. If you are interested in ultra running at all then The Barkley Marathons is well worth a watch also

@john-folan someone got called a bitch but he decided to pull out before he ended up having a scrap.
Felt bad for the guy but he was total cannon fodder. Gave off all the wrong signs.
Genius.

@matthew-biggins Watched that a while back and really enjoyed it, enjoyed how they thought they would cope with it compared to how they actually coped
Did anyone get made a bitch?

Finished watching 60 Days In on Netflix last week. Not sure if anyone’s seen it but the basic premise is that volunteers are put into jail with real inmates and are tasked with essentially spying on the inmates for the Sherrifs etc.
In reality it’s more like a big brother type programme where it centres around how the volunteers actually cope with the whole situation rather than any kind of investigative work.
It’s actually quite an interesting concept to see how people deal with it. Certainly loads different to any other prison doc I’ve seen before. Well worth a watch.

Watched 'Gentlemen' on Amazon last night with the mrs.
Standard Guy Ritchie film (always good) but very entertaining. Worth a watch if anyone has access to Prime.
best Ritchie film I have seen since Snatch, thanks for the recommendation
Do you put Snatch above Lock Stock...?
I really struggle to choose a fav out of those two. Both good. Gentlemen was right up there with them too.
