You can make mash as well. I find it fine when running at low intensity
Was about to comment this. Can't get cheaper than potatoes!
For me it's always the upper that goes. The outsole of my altras is good for well over 1500-2000 km
I get consistently high miles from my shoes. 1200-2000 km. I recently got 2300km out of my altra LP 5s and I think there are some factors (n=1)
- Weight - I'm 70-75 kg. Less weight = less wear
- Shoe rotation - I have 6 pairs which I try to rotate. Gives more time for shoe to rest between runs
- speed - I tend to run at easy paces, so lower speed = lower wear
- stinginess - I am stingy, so I don't mind a shoe feels a bit dead towards the end of its life. It will still do well as a everyday running shoe. It just won't be used for races.
It's the upper that wears out first for me as I have quite wide feet.
Gentle downhil so I can walk the climbs 😅
I have used altras for years. It does take some time getting used to the zero drop, but I think they improved my running over shoes with drop. The thing I condctrated on when starting out was running often but at low intensity and/or shorter lengths, and running at 180 cadeance.
In the beginning I did 2-3k, but did it every day.
I have a pair of Vivo barefoots which are also great, but might not be for you (yet?) by the sounds of it
That's great! Good luck with your upcoming 80km.
From my own experience (~3 years of running, 1 100k, 7-10 runs between 50 and 70kms, 4 marathons, and a couple of shorter distances recently), consistent speed work is important, and goes a long way for running longer distances. I still run at 60% heart rate, but the speed is higher and the races become easier.
I would do a marathon if you want to. I found them fun, but they are not for everyone. A very different experience from an ultra.
Re hills, I find downhills much harder and more important to train for than uphills. The time you lose from walking uphill is minimal compared to running.
Yes. People are friendly here.
I'm having solar panels installed soon. Now I know I should ask for a neatly aligned installation.
Previously I was able to search for “true” and “false” in my codebase. How do I do that now? VS Code has a new search interface specifically for toggles. It’s closed by default, but you can open it by clicking the “Toggle Search Toggle” toggle.
Yo dawg, I heard you liked toggles so we gave you a toggle to search for toggles in your toggle
Also, the section defining behaviour for null and undefined values are kind of bonkers.
Buuut, a nice visual nonetheless. I don't see myself using it though.

I enjoyed the race. I keep being impressed by the technical advantage Redbull have built. Max off in the distance as usual.
Russell got the timing of going to slicks right. Impressive pace from Landis McLaren, but he got unlucky ok the first lap.
Hope the remaining sprint races are as entertaining.
