  • I did 7 ultramarathons in 13 months, learned a lot, and we are starting a new chapter in my running journey - and I am EXTREMELY excited.
    Before anyone comments, I am obviously aware that there are a few anomalies in that some of the races I haven't raced yet have had people my age have success, so it's not a hard rule that you can't run competitive ultras at a young age, I'm just keen to work on my 5k/10k/Half/Full to increase my potential of becoming better at Ultramarathons when I return

    Bugger. Was looking forward to you running UTA100 2025. Hopefully see you out there one day.

      I have a feeling I might be able to tick off the road time goals by the end of the year, and if so I might do UTA 50 haha
      Defs not 100km though

    "Running Ultras for fun", Sota you and I have a different idea of fun.
    [I did the UTABM22 in 2023 and gota admit it was fun, even at my slow pace]

    I prefer running fast for a short period of time than running slow for a long period of time.

    • @SotaMaehara
      @SotaMaehara  День тому

      Kinda fast for long is the most fun for me right now

    You should just focus on getting a fast time for the 5k, 10k and HM distances.

      You are a big time anomaly, same with your backyard ultra ability

  • @fprocks2415
    @fprocks2415 День тому +1

    Is running 160k in just under 25 hours fast?

    • @SotaMaehara
      @SotaMaehara  День тому

      Fast is relative, but interestingly I know that 24 hours for 160km is 8:57/km because of backyard ultra
      Obviously it would depend on the elevation and technicality of the terrain too
