Took a huge humility pill today on my first #50K race. It was just too soon after the marathon race in mid October.

I was aiming for sub 9:00 /mi and ended up with 9:53 /mi after the wheels came off on mile 21.

Miles 1 - 10: 8:45 /mi

Miles 11 - 20: 8:42 /mi

Miles 21 - 30: 11:45 /mi

Way to push yourself!

Thanks!

You are physically fit enough to complete a 100 miler if you are interested.

Congrats man, that’s awesome!

I was supposed to run a 50k in august but I ran my shin in half (horizontal fracture) 1.5 weeks before the race.

Healed and back training again πŸƒπŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

Oh man, that must have been painful. Glad that you’re back training πŸ™ŒπŸ»

Limping and crutches for a few weeks, then no running for 2-3 months. Could have been worse!

Big achievement.

Thanks!

Congratulations!

Thanks!

Amazing achievement! Congrats πŸ™

Thanks

that’s a great first 50k time, congrats! Any plans to run another ultra in 2025?

Thanks! Yes I want to run another one this year. I already signed up for the same mid October marathon for 2025 so I might try another 50k around June to give me enough time before the marathon

Good to hear and best of luck in your training πŸ™

If you ever need some #ultrarunning advice let me know. Surely not an expert but I have 20 years experience running ultras of all types. Lots and lots of learning from mistakes made along the way.

Thank you! I’m sure I’ll take you up on the offer 😁
