Something people don’t talk about is the trash generated by the race event and the items you bought. ie could one eat more whole foodsss like banana n dates n raisins n nuts with zero packaging vs gels n tabs etc. always carry a water bottle container…always, n avoid picking up the prepackaged food n bottles especially at the end and pre race activities. Let’s all reduce our impact on our beautiful earth 🌍

Slow and steady wins the race and I need to remember to just go at my own tortoise pace and enjoy the experience rather than worrying about what others are doing. Really useful and comprehensive info and things I mostly knew but good to have them reinforced by someone way more experienced than me so thank you! :)

This is a great thorough video. I currently am training for my 3rd half marathon (have only done that distance as my farthest) but have older friends who do trail ultras and for some reason it looks fun! They say its like playing outside in nature! Maybe once I do this half I can jump to 50k; a road marathon does not have much appeal to me but I love running on trail.

Oh btw, good call to advise runners not to take pain killers before nor during a race, I listened to a podcast with a sports doctor who said outright never to do it, and explained that it’s very bad for both performance and stamina and increased risk of injury ! AFTER, ok!!! Not during!!
@jamesday1
@jamesday1 Год назад
Thanks Bev! From the sounds of your training and the volume you're doing, I'm sure you could do a 50k ultra! It all comes down to pacing. Use a calculator like mcmillan running. Put in your pace for a road marathon and see what it says for a 50k. Go out and run that pace on a flat road to see what your heart rate is at that pace. Then go out on hilly trails and try to stick to that same heart race. That should give you a good guide for your 50k ultra pace.

I’ve a 50 mile race coming up, I haven’t had the volume of training I wanted in the run up, but I’ve been consistent for a couple of years with moderate-high volume with no real breaks and my calves are thick and ready for hills…. I managed 3 hour back to back runs with similar race day elevation. Safe to say I’m nervous but quietly hopeful I’ll do it.

@rachaefox 10 месяцев назад
Amazing video thanks so much. I've been wondering about solid nutrition. I'm all good with gels, never had any issues..but thinking about longer races and eating solids..I typically get stitch about 5-10 mins after consuming. I've only tried energy bars. Does your body just get used to it and you don't get stitch? Or do you keep trying new foods until you find something that doesn't cause stitch?
@jamesday1
@jamesday1 9 месяцев назад
Thanks! So you can definitely train your stomach to handle different types of nutrition when running. But it's also worth experimenting to see what works for you. I know some people run races like UTMB entirely off sugary gels and drinks, whereas others can touch gels even on short races. It's a pretty personal journey, but definitely worth experimenting and training your stomach with different options. I find solid foods often fix my stomach issues when in long races. But gels and tailwind are my primary nutrition source during ultras.
@TheCameronfal
@TheCameronfal Год назад
Thanks for the video! How do you pre pack the tailwind powder you flashed up? I had my first 50k a few months back - used little sachets but it was a pain!
@jamesday1
@jamesday1 Год назад
Glad the video was useful! I use the big bags of tailwind and take 3 soft flasks each with 2-3 scoops of tail wind. I’ll have at least 1 or 2 with water and then 1 or 2 without water and will use aid stations to add water when I need it. Once I run out off those 3 bottles of tailwind, I switch to running gels so I don’t need to spend any time adding tailwind powder to bottles. Some ultras will have energy drinks at aid stations but I quite enjoy switching to a different calorie source half way. Hope that helps!

Good video. I have a Salomon vest with soft flasks too. At the aid stations, do you need to remove the flasks from the vest to refill them? I find they take a lof of time to reinsert in the vest. Is it possible to fill them in-situ? Do you do this? Something I've not tried yet. I guess one would have to breathe in so as not to exert pressure on the flasks!

My question is do you think this would be a good idea ? Or should I try to do a few more marathons before attempting a 50k ?

How do you do your splits? The race I'm doing has distances to checkpoints and a GPX file it's also on Strava but I'm not sure how to find the elevation from each point would love to hear how you do it
@jamesday1
@jamesday1 10 месяцев назад
The best one I've used is the Garmin connect app which has a pace pro feature. You put the GPX file in and set up your goal pace and it shows a breakdown of each KM with guide pace and elevation. Alternatively, have a look at the race results from last year, and find one of the runners on strava. You'll be able to see their km splits which include elevation per km. Hopefully one of those works for you!

Nutrition is my absolute problem!! I just really struggle to eat anything when I start running. I need to start getting this dialed in, what brands do you like using James?
@jamesday1
@jamesday1 11 месяцев назад
Definitely. Running a marathon or ultra without any calories isn’t fun. I had to train my body to take on calories during runs. Any run 1.5 hrs or long, I take gels or tailwind. At least 1 run a week. Your stomach can be trained to take on calories during a run. It might take a month or longer but it’ll make a big difference. I use tailwind powder in my bottles. You can start with 1 scoop per 500ml and increase it once you get used to it. I’ll sometimes have 3 scoops per 500ml. I also use a mix of gels. GU, sis and maurten. Gu is the once I use the most. Maurten are probably my favourite and never cause me stomach issues. During a marathon I’ll take 1 maurten gel every 30 mins. During longer ultras I’ll use solid food as well like crisps, belvita soft bakes with choc chips. Ultra runners will eat all sorts like sandwiches and burritos during races. Training your body on gels and sports drinks will really help when eating more solid foods in long races. Hope that helps!

@@jamesday1 I'm planning on doing the Hurtwood 50k in December so I've got a few months to try and get my guts used to food while I run 😂 I want to do the SDW 50 in 2024 as well so definitely need to get a grip of it 👌🏻 Massive well done on your SDW 100 victory 👏🏻

Currently training for a backyard ultra marathon. Never run more than a half marathon before but training seems to be going well. Do you have any tips that would differ for the backyard utra format?

I haven't done a backyard yet but it's definitely something I want to do in the near future. I think it massively comes down to how far you plan to run. Some people will run 50k at a backyard but others might run 200 miles. You also have a luxury of leaving gear at the campsite so you don't have to carry unnecessary weight. What are you aiming for in terms of distance?

@@jamesday1 I am aiming for around 12 laps, I would love to hit 15 laps and the 100km mark though. Thanks for your reply. I think I am just slightly nervous about creating that backyard unique format in my training and knowing that the hours of training I am putting in are efficient.

@@jkapp8617 I would check out the elevation of each loop. Sometimes these BYultras can have quite a lot of elevation once you get to a high number of loops. But I wouldn't worry too much about the format. You'll get to see people a lot more often than other ultras and hopefully the loops are big enough that mentally it isn't too challenging. I wouldn't necessarily train any different for a backyard ultra. Let me know how you get on!

Great idea! Just make sure you're comfortable dropping out before it gets too hard. I think I would be too stubborn and I would just keep pushing myself to the limit. Can't wait to try a backyard ultra though!

Which Salomon vest do you use mate

@jamesday1 Год назад
The Adv Skin 12. Definitely not the cheapest option but will probably last me years and has enough space to cover pretty much any ultramarathon race with aid stations and drop bags. I really like the fit as well. There are a lot of more affordable options out there though.

@@jamesday1 it’s usually a toss up between the ADV skin and the Hydra. The Hydra being half price. I’ve been comparing the two for a while and trying to decide which one to go with.
