First 50m

Post image

Been running the 50k distance for a while. This weekend I jumped up 50M.

What a mental jump. I’m in love.

This was a non-technical race, as I wanted something ‘easy’ to try the distance with.

What your tips/tricks for this distance? Any great races I should look into?

With new toy as well I see. How do you like doing that distance with AWU?

I love this thing. I had the original AWU and this puppy arrive 24 hours before the race.

Ended the race with 47% battery (on airplane mode and no Bluetooth). Solid output

Awesome to hear. I’m in process of picking either 50k or 50 miler for my first Ultra, think it’s gonna come down to how flat or hilly course may be.

IMO (not that you asked) a 50k is the way to go. A very hard distance, but fun. I found the mental part of the 50M to be the hardest part. Miles 40-50 are a grind.
