Mini Forklift Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Have never raced a 50km before, ended up just taking it a little slower than I would run a marathon. Fairly pleased with the result and you definitely require a completely different mindset than PL'ing.

Mini Forklift Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks Hobbs! Immediately afterwards, I felt great. The nausea that hit me between 44-48km had passed and my legs felt surprisingly fresh. The morning after the race they were feeling pretty good too ~ just a little bit of inflammation in my left knee and that was about it really. Today is 48hrs after and I have no DOMS at all; quads, hams and calves all feel as normal and after resting up yesterday and today I'll be back out training tomorrow as normal.

Kora Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Wicked, nice job! I use to carry little ginger candies for the nausea. Gin Gin's. Gluten free and vegan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
