How I Ran an Ultramarathon - 50 miles in 13 hours

[mrclonestone]

Good job! Remember dry socks though, healthy feet gives a healthy body

[sbombfitness]

That's awesome bro! I did a 50 miler last year and it was hard. Hope I can do a 100-miler soon

[CodyGoFar]

Training for my first 100 miler! Love seeing these videos on my feed

[Kelly_Ben]

Congrats!! Heading to see if you've got ultra stuff on your channel!

That’s a great time on some seriously rugged terrain! I’m doing my first 100k this weekend in Florida. Let’s go!!

Well done! I can comprehend the brutality of the wall.

My 1st 50miler was a loop & each lap had a 2.5 mile 4, 000 ft climb.. The terrain was horrendous, switch backs initially & then just straight line up while trying not to slide backwards.

So many people dropped each lap, understandably they didn’t have it in them to face another climb

Respect, awesome job. Thanks for sharing.

Your feet almost looked like mine after being in the jungles of Vietnam for 69 days during monsoon. Not to mention the leeches. You definitely have to take care of your feet. Healthy feet equal a healthy run.

Congratulations! I've been looking forward to my first ultra. It's the JFK 50 miler. How did you feel the days after finishing?

I’m curious about those feet and what you can attribute it to. Obviously water, but wondering about your shoes and whether they were waterproof or poor draining shoes? Also what socks you wore, synthetic vs wool? I am prone to skin like yours when wet. And I did a Spartan this fall which it rained well in advance of the race and throughout the entire race, and the whole course was underwater. However my feet did not look like yours at all. Maybe just the difference in time? I was only out there 1 hour 45, so could be the biggest factor.

how did you take your sodium? ive heard of people doing pickle juice or mustard packets.

[brannonwilson]

Awesome job! What was your weekly mileage like?

[jimmoses]

Me too. 50 miles, 13:39. 7500' elevation gain. I am 54 yo

[mitchalmaines]

I’ve got a race next month that’s 5k of elevation gain in 2.8 miles 😢

[Chris.McGinley]

Awesome! Did you find the 1 spring energy gel + sodium enough fuel? Cheers!

[artofphysics]

That 500mg sodium translates to 1.25 grams of table salt which is quite a lot :D considering around 5grams is the upper limit per day. you dont need that much to prevent cramps

[echo]

Bring socks idea sound like good advice

[deadair]

Those feet look pretty good all things considered
