@Alan_Couzens My personal recommendation is that, if you do this, then also treat sleep as an appointment with yourself. Athletes often choose training over adequate sleep, to their detriment.

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

Note to newer ultra runners: sometimes hunger presents as nausea. Put more food in. If it comes out again it's a net zero result but if it stays down you'll be ahead. Sloshy gut after you eat? You probably need MORE water, not less, to create an easily digestible concentration.

@UltraRunnerPod Just stuff em with newspaper or paper towels

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@5280FT @SageCanaday But a handicap allows non-users to compete at their own level, whereas just allowing drugs does not.

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@5280FT @SageCanaday You make a strong case for handicaps in races - removes some of that difference.

@Faceman_TX @StephenKing @tiktok_us What makes you think that "China or anyone else" coming for Americans would choose to engage in a relatively close, land-based assault on civilians bearing AR-15s? Is this a common approach for major powers?

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@SageCanaday I think double days are a great way for mere mortals like me to build without massive weekly volume because they also increase our rest blocks. If I train morning and night then don't train the next day, I get a ~36 hr rest window and a sleep in. The rest part is key, though!

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@runcamille I missed out on seeing this performance in person but I'd love to see what your crew does – how often you grab something from them/your table, what they're tracking, what food and drink prep they do … can we get a clip of the crew in action?

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@SageCanaday I never considered applying for BM because the entry process – knowing someone who could help you find out where to send an application letter at the right time to be valid – seemed to be just another "old boys club" that I didn't want to be a part of. Has that changed yet?

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@RunTriMag @runcamille Handy then that they can be bought by the dozen

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@jeannie_brady @SageCanaday Yes, but you still have a hard time convincing triage staff that this is alarming. My resting HR is in the low 40s and I presented with mid 70s and no one cares.

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@UltraRunnerPod It's a nice time of day for shorter, sharper sessions when the body is warm and nourished.

@MccreaConner @runcamille @COROSGlobal @squirrelsnutbut @goodr @usatf @USAultrarunning @iaunews Yep the taco cravings are real

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@MccreaConner @runcamille @COROSGlobal @squirrelsnutbut @goodr @USAultrarunning @iaunews 💯

@_chismosa_ My understanding is that it's all about drinking lots of alcohol at night and spending your days hungover in a cheap hostel, but that might just be backpacking in Australia.

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@runcandice The skiers, snowboarders and other winter sports enthusiasts thank you for your service.

[Tamyka Bell @TamRuns]

@runcamille @pinkfeathers @goodr And for the moths attracted to my headlamp at night 😁

@runcamille @zhazha311 Siblings summed up in a single shot.
