    50k Preparation…how do you know?

    I just got to volunteer and help at an aid station for a 50 mile run this past weekend. Anyone thinking about trying an uptra should volunteer. It was a great experience.

    Pack weight: Does anyone actually care?

    im still relativly new to it all, going on my 6th season out west and probably 15th trip counting shed hunting, but early on i found it helpful to weight and list my stuff, but only to use as a reference to other gear lists to make sure i was in the ball park, and not over or under packing. now...

    Its that time of year 2023 fitness goals

    April was quite a roller coaster. Started off april 1st with my first 50k which went great, had a heavy cut back week then started to work on my down hills as thats a weak point, smoked my quads to the point they bothered me for two weeks. A week ago i did a small benifit 50k which went well...

    Optic advice

    I was in your boat last year sorta, had the 11x45’s and a vortex razor spotter. I bought 12x nl’s first and have no regrets on that but i dod end up buying the kowa 774. Also no regrets on the spotter. Id probably give a slight edge to the spotter upgrade being more noticable. But again i have...

    Car guys, whats this part called?

    The hard lines look decent on the car yet it was just where the hard line and hose connect. But im not sure im gonna mess with it since every bolt is so rusty it might be easier for a real mechanic to do it, cause the bolts seemed like they wanted to just round off and not actually turn so i...

I am following a 50 mile plan and am first suppose to do a 50k in june but i modified my long run miles slightly so that i hit 27 miles last...

    Nice job! Do you follow any program? I never did until last spring, and i followed it very strictly. I was gollowing a marathon program. The longest run i did previously was 16 miles. A half marathon beat me up pretty good. But following a actual free training plan i found online made the build...

    Anyone else disappointed in RevealCams? (It could be me at fault)

    I had the same thoughts until someone told me you can convert them to HD. Brands have different deals but i think tactacam was like $10 allows you to convert 50 pictures of your choice to HD. I havent gotten to try it yet cause that was after the season i learned about that.
