  • My first 100 mile ultramarathon took 29 hours 24 min and 5 seconds. This was one of the toughest challenges I have completed, but it was one of the most fulfilling ones. When you enter the "unknown" you never know what may happen, but you have to be prepared for anything. If you go into a challenge with a "don't quit" mentality, you can accomplish almost anything.

    I ran my first marathon 3 weeks ago. Strong for the first 21, struggled 21-25, finished strong. Didn’t fuel enough. I’m 6’3 195 and was taking in one honey stinger every 45 minutes; which is about 100 calories, 20g carbs… electrolytes and water at every mile station too. I think I just going to experiment more and shoot for a 50k later this year 🙏🏼 new sub, love the channel so far

      Great job finishing a marathon! I am 6'3" 185lbs and did my 1st half & full marathon in the last year at 41yrs old. Marathon had 1350' of climb with 3 handicap ramps you had to zig zag and a stout 100' climb at mile 25 ...last 6 miles were rough. I researched fueling/hydration alot and made sure to fuel every 20-30min with water and a gel or tailwind endurance drink...managed a 3:39 and was sore for 2 wks.😂
      At your size, you should definitely fuel more than 100 calories(20g sugar)every 45min during a marathon. You will feel and perform alot better during the last 10k if you take in twice that amount. Did you hit the wall and walk?

      I’m 6’1” 215. It took a little over 400cals/hr in my last 50 miler to keep me feeling good. That’s the high end, but I say that to say that 100 cals/hr is def way too low. Aim to carry and consume 250/hr minimum and supplement that further at aid stations.

    There's nothing like the ultra community/ atmosphere! When I think of ultras, my first thoughts are fun, friendly, and food. What other races feed you quesadillas, soup, grilled cheese etc DURING a race!? 😆 Only after those things does "pain" hit the list. Like he said, it's just a part of the day you expect. If you can do a marathon, you can do a 50k. The jump in distance isn't huge, but the shift in experience and mentality is amazing!

    The IT Band is one of the most common issues for runners (2nd?). Every step feels like a razor on your leg. Mine was mile 18 of my first marathon. It is really, really hard to keep going through that.
    Lots of respect for working through that!

I'm looking to gain muscle mass, but I don't want to sacrifice my running goals and was curious what you currently do and if you have any advice?
