My First Ultra; Niagara On The Lake

posted 1 year ago

Tomorrows my first ultra! Looping Niagara on the Lake to Niagara Falls; 50km.That’s only 8km farther than a marathon, not even an issue…?

Last weekend I got a new pair of shoes; Mizuno - Wave Elixir 5 at The Running Room. I’ve never had a pair of Mizuno’s before but already I am liking the low sole and the generally fit of the show. My last pair, Nike Structure 12 were great, they had a little more support than these but it started to seem that the toe was a little too narrow which started to become noticeable after ~13miles. I haven’t broken past a 13 miler in these but already at ~10 they feel the same as when I first put them on. In other news I’m running the Port Union 10km tomorrow, it should be a fun community run. As well next weekend I’m hoping to get out for the Niagara Ultra. It will be my first ultra, after only running two marathons. I am super excited for it though! Is anyone else running the Niagara Ultra; or any other event in event? If so hit me up at jrdnshw@gmail.com Wish me luck!

Ultra’s - A Worth While Adventure?

posted 2 years ago

Who’s run an ultra before? Is it worth doing? Was it harder/easier than you thought it would be? Any different training than a marathon other than ‘running farther’? Would you do another? I’m seriously considering them.
