Yes, see you there. :-) I haven't weighed my pack, but it is defintely not light, even with the bare minimum.

Rob check your warm base layers that they comply as the rules have changed since last year the base layers must be 180g medium and the Montane Dart Lite long sleeve tops (I was originally planning to use) no longer comply

They won't weigh them

@TomMorgan1066 13 күн бұрын

@the_southcoast_runner I suspect not but I have done (non UTMB) events where they have weighed some kit and I would hate the stress of worrying if my kit would pass the kit check especially knowing it does not meet the spec

@robsbeenrunning 13 күн бұрын

Hi Tom, The kit list says that if the tops are not 180g, they must be paired with a wind proof jacket wit hDWR protection, so i have one of these to tick off that requirement. Thanks mate.

See you at the start Rob, and maybe near the finish as our bibs are only 20 apart, so UTMB thinks we will pace pretty similarly ;=) Just a note about the Emergency 800Kcal, this can not be consumed (unless you have DNF'd) so I went for 2 x B&M Flapjacks these were just £0.38p ea and only weigh 110g.

Hi Rob. good kit run down. I'm doing the 25 this year. (having never done more than a half marathon thought it best to start a little easier. 50 or 100 next year) Was just getting my kit together abd doing a check, so good to see I'm not the only one. I've also been filming my prep and training, but planning to publish after the race, althought I was thinking, and probably will do a similar vid on to this over the next day or two. As an aside, does your bivvi come with a whistle? when I opened mine, there was one inside, bonus! 😁 Good luck with the 50. Hope to see you at the finish. Andy

@robsbeenrunning 27 күн бұрын

Hi Andy, Good luck with the 25, it should be a good race. Regarding the bivvy bag, I think it does come with a whilst, but I never rely on those free whistles, I brought myself a couple of whistles from Amazon some time ago. I am doing the 100 this year, I did the 50 last year. I might see you at the end though, depends on how long it takes me. Ha ha. Thanks Rob

Xodus 2 was fantastic long run shoe, only problem was grip on wet rocks - terrible... in ver 4 saucony is doing vibram which is great but now only hope they make midsole somhow similar to ver 2 , if that will be the case then will be getting pair, for now enjoying asics trabuco max - excellent grip, fantastic midsole but a bit to hot upper ...

@weuek Ай бұрын

For me, with Roman feet, the toebox shape is an absolute NO.

@weuek Ай бұрын

I got interested in Inov-8 shoes when they improved the shape of the toebox. The Trailfly is my first shoe from them. Now it's my hardest and heaviest trail shoe in my rotation (the rubber weighs a tonne!). I think its weakest point is the midsole-dull EVA, very stiff. If it wasn't for the poor midsole, the shoe would be really good, as the outsole is amazing on soft surface. The upper does not get soaked with dirt and is perfectly designed for the wet stuff on dirt roads and trails. Another thing is the drop (too high for me), but I had known that before I bought them. All in all, not suitable for longer efforts (21k+) because of the midsole. My shoes were manufactured in August 2024 and the midsole side is not painted. Additionally, there's a minor aesthetic change to the toe bumper look.

What was your electrolyte plan? If you were relying on aid station Tailwind, you may not have been getting enough electrolyes. Once your electrolyte balance tips over the edge, your gut won't be able to absorb water which it will just swill about in your belly, making you very nauseous. Might be worth experimenting with electrolyte intake?

@robsbeenrunning 3 ай бұрын

@@nigelb1851 It was the same as normal. I always carry my own electrolyte tablets and Tailwind sachets, I think the aid station stuff is always too watery. It was a bizarre situation, never had a problem before. New challenge to resolve.
