teufenI started to write up my Oslo Bergen Trail race report. The biggest question is: how much detail to put into it. There's so much to tell that it threatens to become a very large blog post.<a href="https://mas.to/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#running</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ultrarunning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ultrarunning</a>

Read before You UltraExcellent advice here, and definitely not just for parents.❝These days, I use the term prepositional running to describe my training. I run before things, between things, and after things. […] Running still matters to me a great deal.

Federico HernandezIn between WSER/Lavaredo and this weekends Hardrock there was also Badwater135 this week.Ironically Norwegian Simen Holvik won this year while the temps reached 50C… found him on YouTube and his Infrared cube sauna for heat training. 😅But the most amazing performance is by Bob Becker.

NerdRunner2nd run of my training weekend went ... Hmm ... I got a Marathon, thats great! Anyway, I planned for 75k but after 40k there was no room for additional 4 to 5 hours, so I decided to take the next train home. After all, I'm quite happy with the result. I think the tomorrows planned 50k will also end up earlier ...

teufenDear friends, On Thursday, 3 July, at 08:00, I leave on a great adventure. I am taking part in the Oslo Bergen Trail in Norway.Along the way there are 8 check points where I can get supplies and possibly sleep. For the rest, I am self-supported. My pack with all the mandatory kit and the necessary food and drink weighs about 9kg.You can follow me along and maybe post an encouraging message on my personal Ferrett site: <a href="https://ferrett.io/u/teufen/obt500" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ferrett.io/u/teufen/obt500</a><a href="https://mas.to/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#running</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/trailrunning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trailrunning</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ultrarunning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ultrarunning</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/OBT500" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OBT500</a>

Benjamin Han3/When I got home and weighed myself, I lost 2+ KG!

Benjamin Han2/I brought 6 gels and 1.5L electrolyte water. Unfortunately by the 25th mile I drank up all, and had to start walking some of the time to avoid overheating (walk 4min then run at least 5). For a few times I seriously considered asking for some water from bikers, but didn’t. At one point I stopped at a stream and splashed cold mountain water on my head to feel better.<a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#running</a> <a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/trailrunning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#trailrunning</a> <a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/ultrarunning" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ultrarunning</a> <a href="https://sigmoid.social/tags/longRunSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#longRunSunday</a>
