Nice work. How do your legs feel now? On Sunday I did a little over a marathon in the mountains with 6k+ feet of gain and for a couple of days my legs were fried. They felt good today though thankfully, although like you my glutes are still a little angry at me.

Another great little video. Just wondering about your home made gels. I like that it's a BIG gel, because I find the commercial ones a bit small. What's the calorie density like?
@MountainHighLife

For that gel it’s roughly 300 cals! My recipe is soooo close- it gets better every time so I’m hoping to share it very very soon! Always appreciate your support- thank you for being here!!!

How the ruddy f*k do you manage to scoot down hills while recording and talking to camera? I ruined my ankle descending a couple of weeks ago. And I was only concentrating on running down that hill. : / So somewhat envious.

Quick question! Does your heart rate shoot up right from the beginning? I’m a roadie so on the roads it’s easy to keep your HR low and steady but when I start climbing right away my HR is always high from the beginning. Thanks
@MountainHighLife
@MountainHighLife Күн бұрын
Hi! To give you the short answer- yes, if I start climbing out the gate, my HR will usually spike. The long answer: I’ve definitely had to modify how I approach a run that has climbing straight out the gate as it will effect my performance (mainly how my legs feel for the rest of the run). Depending on the grade, I give myself time to warm up and adjust and then will start running. A lot of times, I just have to tell my ego to be quiet 😂 but I would say pretty consistently that after the 20 minute mark, I’m pretty well warmed up and ready to push on the climbs. Hopefully this helps? Either way- thanks for the question and happy training!

Good training. The tent vehicle will come in handy for your 200mi race. I noticed chanler's 2nd day nike trail shorts steeply discounted recently in a nearby store. I passed on them as they have a ridiculous amount of pockets (and large ones too). The cinching to keep them up will def cause GI issues. Overkill on them.

Looks like a nice place to run. I'm in a 50k training block which has back to back long'ish runs on Sat/Sun with Sat being "race pace" and Sunday being "easy". On Sun I'm always cursing my Sat self for pushing so hard and on Sat I'm always thinking how hard Sun will be because of what I just did. One thing that rings true for me though, I don't have to worry about pushing too hard on my Sun "easy" run because I usually don't have the energy to push.
@MountainHighLife
@MountainHighLife 8 күн бұрын
that's the true love-hate, but I'm sure your body is adapting really well to training while fatigued which is going to make you so strong for that race! And it's always kinda nice when your body forces a true "easy pace" too lol

If you haven't already, check out the Salomon XA filter. It will screw right onto those flask you are using, and you can just scoop and go, filtering as you drink. Plus, you can't forget it since it's also your lid! 😄

Amazing weekend of work! I'm a newer runner- I live in the rolling hills and small mountains of New Hampshire so very different terrain but I sometimes get a moose blessing too when I'm out rambling. Currently training for my first triathalon in September with the run portion being up and down my favorite mountain, doing lots of running now to get a solid base. I'm learning how important it is to train on tired legs and feeling fatigue but steady progress, very fun.
