Ultra-runners; very interesting podcast about fuelling with Paul Booth of Salomon;
1. Start slow with carbs in long races
2. Gut issues often linked to dehydration
3. More carbs not always better (risks upsetting gut)

This is terrible news for anyone who entered the Northern Traverse, Dragon's Back or Cape Wrath ultra this year. #ultrarunning

Very sad news that Ourea Events - organisers of the Dragon's Back Race among others - have ceased trading. The Northern Traverse was due in only two weeks time. #ultrarunning
❝This is not a claim that vitamin D alone prevents bone injury; it is the narrower and more defensible claim that deficiency should be avoided in athletes whose skeleton is repeatedly stressed.

Two loaves of home baked white bread on a wooden chopping board. The front loaf is sliced, the other is whole.
Long run fuel fresh out of the oven. Homemade white bread, baked with rock salt & bakers honey. Frozen & thawed before eating & served with homemade jam 🤤
Delivers maximum energy with minimum digestive cost & is palatable enough to eat when your body wants to shut down.

Image shows the book 'Ultra Women' by Lily Canter and Emma Wilkinson.
No music this evening.
Just finished 'Ultra Women' – this excellent book by
@lilycanter.bsky.social
and @emmajourno.bsky.social
I can't recommend this book enough to anyone who is into ultra running/endurance or sports in general.
An important, eye-opening and inspiring book.

Part of why I love this sport so much: SO MANY LEVERS that can be pulled.
❝So, if my pace and competitive edge are fading, but I still want to perform well, what other levers can I pull?

Treecreeper site
2/2 - As hoped, I heard a couple of Marsh Tits along the way and a Treecreeper. Both new for the year. Plenty of Buzzards, bird song and Primroses.
All good distractions as the kms passed. Always #birding.
#Running #UltraRunning #Devon
1/2 - Loved it! I joined Climb South West for a recee run of the mid Devon section of the Coast 2 Coast event. 50km of quiet lanes & muddy trails. Perfect weather.
I anticipate running this section in the dark come the event, so great opportunity to check the nav.

Nach 9 Stunden Arbeit und zwei Stunden im Auto klingen weitere drei Stunden Training irgendwie nicht sehr verlockend… 🙈

After a couple of weeks struggling with training due to illness and injury, I'm back 👍
Just an easy 45 mins plus strides today while I'm down in Swansea for my final week of university 😁

❝For me, resilience has often been synonymous with movement – mental and physical. Yet […] I’ve come to believe resilience starts in stillness: how we show up in our minds and hearts when we can’t run away.

Garmin's unlimited battery life isn't a marketing claim — it's the output of six specific engineering decisions made over six years. None of them was dramatic in isolation. The full breakdown: the5krunner.com/2026/03/03/g... #Garmin #UltraRunning #GPSWatch #SolarCharging

The Tarr Steps clapper bridge in the Exmoor national park taken from the west Bank of the river. Running stats are overlayed for a run titled West Somerset ultra running. 53.32km distance, 6:35:40 total time, 7:25 per km average pace.
Todays run was a long one! 53km along the two moors way, starting (and ending) at Withypool including a crossing of the Tarr Steps clapper bridge.
6 weeks and 5 days until the Coast to Coast and the training is actually going well 🫨

Watching stuff like this really works my imagination and motivation: not for a Barkley, of course (or an ultra), but to just make a lofty goal, a really long run and just go for it. Smash some records. Push the boundaries.
Those ladies... not many boundaries exist for them!

Promotional poster from 1992’s Cutting Edge movie, with a male hockey player skating with a female figure skater.
Promotional poster for the 1979 movie Meatballs. Bill Murray surrounded by beautiful women at the entrance to a summer camp.
Fleetwood Mac rumours album cover. Mick Fleetwood has really weird balls hanging from his belt that look like testicles, and Stevie Nicks (superior musician) is dressed as Rhiannon.
Tagline for Catch the Girl: a hotheaded feminist and a cautious, recovering addict are forced to share a cabin at a 1978 ultrarunning camp, leading to an opposites attract, grumpy vs. grumpier story about overcoming gender stereotypes and taking a second chance on love.
If 1992’s Cutting Edge had a love child with 1979’s Meatballs, with Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours as the score, the resulting #unhingedpit fever dream would be CATCH THE GIRL, the story of two people who accidentally fall in love while training to run 100 miles. #histsportsromance #q #r #ultrarunning
Morgen ist übrigens der Grunewald100. Das ist wie #bm100 nur ein bisschen leichter, weil halt in Berlin. Falls wer spontan starten will, es gibt noch exakt einen Startplatz. Schreibt Markus auf Insta an. #nevernotrunning #ultrarunning #teamlaufen
Kenne fast keine*n Ultraläufer*in, die sich nicht mindestens einmal im Laufleben mit Gallowaying durch ne Krise (oder mehrere…) während eines Ultras durchgewurschtelt hat.
Vielen Dank für die Ideen und den Spirit, den so manchen vor nem DNF gerettet haben. #ultrarunning #nevernotrunning
