I’ve tried to incorporate some form of semi-speed walking into my race strategy, both from necessity and just trying to reach my target miles.

I know this is an older article, but its still pretty relevant. I always feel odd doing the whole hip thing and generally revert to just walking fast if that makes sense.

Do you all practice any particular walking techniques you can recommend?

I walk up hills. Much more efficient than running. Someone once told me if you can’t see over the hill, you should walk it.

whats your opinion on collapsible poles? I’ve enjoyed so much it almost felt like cheating at one point. they prevent me from overpacing uphill.

I’ve only ever used them hiking, and then only in certain cases. Maybe I’ll change my mind when I get older, but they seem unnecessary for me now.

Create post

A place those of us who enjoy the long, long runs can chat about; ultras, food, gear, race reports, health, injury, techniques, training, training plans, etc., etc., etc.

You get the point.

This is just a start, so if you have suggestions about the overall vibe and setup, please let me know. I hope we can grow this into a place we can call home.
