    I’m wanting to take my GSP on a half marathon race next year. His longer runs now are at 7-8 miles. He currently is 14 months which means he would be about 16-18 months if we did a half marathon later towards the beginning of 2025. Is that too early as long as I slowly condition him to 13.1 miles?

    • @FUDNF

      @@fitnessessentials1 I’m definitely not a vet but that would be pushing the limit in my opinion. If he slowly builds up his mileage it could be possible. I was super patient in getting River out running longer distances as I’ve seen other people hurt their dogs with too much too soon. I would think long term knowing that if you take it slow you will have a running partner for 10+ years.

    I raced 100 km in 2016 just before they made the time cut offs so hard. I carried 2 bladders (one with e lites and one plain H2O ), bit heavier but worth it for me ( my thermometer hit 40 degrees in the north loop, that heat is no joke but it can also be freezing at night). I took on the mindset that "i get to" see the same route in the dark and that is a bran new adventure., It helps with the mental game of doing things like gun rage hill again.... I don't think they allow pacers on the 100 km anymore but that also was a boon of my 2016. Poles are a game changer. I live east out side of Calgary so i get the flat land but Mackinnon flats has helped me a ton. I am thinking to do the 50 km in 2025. You may also want to scope out River Edge Ultra out near Devon if you don't already know about it. Happy Training!!

    Nice documentation of your BYU. I did my first one last fall at the inaugural Cottonwood BYU near Nelson, BC 🇨🇦 and will be running it again on thanksgiving weekend but really understand what you mentioned about people hitting their goals and then dropping out. I did that when I reached 100K last year when I still had more laps in me. It was my brain that just said "That's it, you reached your target now lets go home and sleep". I am going into this next one with no target in mind and determined to see the sun rise.

    I have used PN pretty much the same way you tested it out for a while now and used it to fuel my last three 50K's without any issues. Just a heads up so you do not under fuel yourself in your upcoming race. The 1500 tabs have 750mg of sodium, not 1500 as you mentioned a few times. Wouldn't be good to be only getting 50% of what you thought you were taking!

    I got the heavier version of the leki ultratrail. For amateurs like us they are better and seem more stable. Have run 2 ultras with them (100k + 5000m ascent each) and they were great. After hours of continuous use the gloves may get tend to get stuck to the pole, so using a bit of hand cream helps every now and then. For the less technical races I use the lighter version without the gloves.

For road style running, I stick to the top. You can make any length day you want up there. My biggest single loop was 25 km and 1100m. I’ve done a double loop at 33 km and 1200m.

    I signed up for the 15 loop in Okotoks next year. June of 2025. Any training tips? Highest I have gone is a 50 km a few years ago

    • @FUDNF

      That's awesome Bill..congrats! If you can do 50K you can do 100K! The biggest training tips from me would be getting lots of easy mileage in. The key is time on feet. You will need to practice your nutrition strategy in the months leading up as these events become just as much as an eating competition as a running event. A combination of fluids, carbs, solid food, and electrolytes are important to dial in. Everyone is different on what you need and can tolerate so practice a bunch. I also did the Goggins 4X4X48 challenge as part of my training which was a good mini simulation to try out. It helps you run when you brain and body don't want to. Last, practice the pacing. You will find that you will likely need to slow way down from your normal pace and will want to do this in the actual race. Getting a loop done in under an hour is easy. Finding your best strategy for how much rest you take after a lap will dictate how fast you run. It's a great event and you will have a great day. I will likely see you there next year!

    Hey buddy, great video, how do you go about training for one of these, I have done my first marathon (Calgary 2024) and I am eyeing this up in 2025 what changes do you make through the week to adapt? many thanks.

    • @FUDNF

      Hey man thanks and congrats on the marathon. The biggest things that I found in my training for this was a few things. Definitely a lot more weekly miles but mainly easy running versus pure road marathon training where you have a lot more speed work etc built in. You need to build up both mileage and time on feet. Also practicing a nutrition strategy and getting good at eating and running and figuring out what you like and can tolerate. They say the backyard ultras are just as much a eating contest as it is running. I also did a fair amount of running at night to get used to that. Try doing the Goggins 4X4X48 challenge. It's a good mini simulation that I've put into my training in the past leading up to these. Last it's tough to work on but the mental game is so important. Putting yourself into situations in training that take you into the hurt locker a bit also helps prepare your mind. Good luck!

      I try to double up on my miles. If I run 9 on Tuesday, I will run 9 on Wednesday. I try to do two long runs on the weekends, like last week I did 13 miles on Saturday in trails and the 17 miles on the road doing hills. Like he said, getting the legs used to running tired, so just building up the volume. Last week a group of us for training, ran 4 4.167 loops Backyard style as a way to get used to running, stopping, resting, and running again.
