No wonder that trail is closed, I had no idea and was salty when my running route got diverted

Pacing is pretty individual, general guidance is slower so that you aren't running yourself too hard but depending on the athlete "slow" is super individual.

Theres a pretty great documentary on the backyard ultra that the people who host the Barkley marathons put on, I think it does a great job of capturing the psychology of the last few standing. TLDR starting the next lap is the hardest part. https://youtu.be/ZRXKZSqvtrw

FYI there's a fairly active Colorado community on lemmy.world https://lemmy.world/c/colorado

8 Laps would put you at a little over 33 miles if your using the standard 4.167 mi laps. With a marathon under your belt I'm sure you would be able to hit your goal with a similar level of training following a 50k plan.

I'm assuming the 8+ lap goal is because you don't plan on running all night, because of that, sleep (what most people consider the biggest challenge) won't be a concern.

So not having to worry about a sleep plan, the biggest differences are going to be

  • Total time on your feet
  • Running on trail (assuming your marathon was road, if not disregard)
  • Refueling throughout the race

From a training standpoint I would make sure you're getting trail miles that are going to be similarly hilly to the race course, target that zone 1 - zone 2 while training, and break up some of your longer runs into multiple short ones with 15-20 min breaks between them. If you can take a 12 mile run and break it into three 4 mile runs with short breaks you can dial in your refueling and recovery strategy and see what works for you.

Backyard ultra is a great goal and tons of fun!

 

In the spirit of making the communities you want to see, I've created !14ers! A fairly niche topic but would love to see trip reports trickle in.

Hiked Torreys and Grays last week, quick route/trip report.

Went up to Grays first, ended up hopping up to the CDT and following the ridgeline up to the summit. The standard switchbacks were still really snow covered so I'd say it was an easier route. Ended up putting our traction on for one section of the climb.

Took the saddle back over to Torreys, the way down was super snowy, ended up glissading several times, was not envious of those who went Torreys first and had to climb there way up to Grays. Once we were at the low spot the snow thinned out and we were able to fly right up Torreys.

Decent from Torreys was painless, threw out traction on to traverse the snow field and made it back to the main trail.

GPX of the planed route and the actual, don't mind the straight line from Torreys summit to the trail intersection, bumped my watch and wasn't tracking that part of the descent.

It'a going to be up to admins to relieve communities of mod squatters. I believe they have been responsive in the past, I just don't have direct experience with them.

I was so happy I could replay Katamari on my switch, I spent countless hours on the PS2 rolling around.

Do I get the tip in this instance?

I always heard EVE was spreadsheets; the game, glad they are just going all in on it.

I had a couple that got stuck, I was able to retry the sub and they went right through.

 

Lots of great throws. Really interested in the O Soto Gari grips at 3:34, going to have to give that a try at randori.

I tried playing the OG version on the SNES virtual console and bounced off of it. I loved the remake of Links Awakening so I've got high hopes for this too.
