Race nutrition ready for the Transalpine Run starting in less than 7 days. Probably too much but you’ll never know…
Super excited and scared at the same time what it‘ll be like to run for 7 days through the alps. 😍🤩😱 #ultrarunning #trailrunning #running

The image shows a collection of items arranged on a wooden surface. At the top, there are nine transparent zip-lock bags with colored tops, each containing multiple tubes labeled "GEL 40" from the brand "MHS." The bags are organized in three rows, with the top row having orange, green, and blue tops, the middle row having blue and orange tops, and the bottom row having a single bag with a blue top. Below these bags, there are six packets of "näak ULTRA ENERGY" in yellow, red, and green packaging, arranged in two rows of three. At the bottom, there are eight small zip-lock bags with handwritten labels, containing white powder, likely caffeine or a similar substance, with labels such as "Cola," "Cafe," and "Kaffe." The overall arrangement suggests a prepared kit, possibly for endurance activities or travel. Provided by @altbot, generated privately and locally using Ovis2-8B 🌱 Energy used: 0.210 Wh

13,6 km Lauf bei 4 °C

Der letzte Long Run vor dem Siebengebirgsmarathon war mit 48K gleichzeitig der längste Lauf meines Lebens 🥳
Und da das Siebengebirge kein plattes Land ist, kamen noch ein paar Höhenmeter dazu.
Jetzt fühle ich mich ziemlich kaputt, aber auch gleichzeitig gut vorbereitet für mein zweites Lauf-Highlight nach dem Drachenlauf 🤗

Yellow autumn leaves are arranged from bottom to top against a clear blue sky. The leaves vary in shades of yellow and orange, standing out against the tree branches. Some clouds are visible in the sky.

A view of a narrow forest path surrounded by brown and orange leaves scattered on the ground. In the foreground, the black handles of two trailrunning poles frame the path leading into the background. A fallen tree can be seen above the path in the distance.

Alt...

The interior of a wooden shelter is visible, featuring a high ceiling with wooden beams and several windows allowing natural light to enter. The spacious area contains a long, rectangular wooden table and benches made of light-colored wood, situated on a stone floor. The walls are constructed of wooden panels, giving it a rustic and warm atmosphere.

Alt...

A charming wooden hut stands in a wooded area, framed by tall trees. The structure has a peaked roof and a wide entrance. My gravelbike leans against the side of the hut, and the ground is covered in fallen leaves, creating an inviting and tranquil setting in nature.

🎥🍿Mr Ultra from Sweden 🇸🇪- Marcus Kjellberg - has just released his Kullamannen by UTMB race video. It is super well filmed and gives a very good feel of the circumstances that he (and I) ran in for the 100 miler.

Additionally - I am proud to say that I am part of his video at around ~09:30-09:45 ish where I very AWKWARDLY say “Hi Marcus hehe” 🙈🙈🙈 …well I was just star struck 🤣🤣

Ein schmaler Pfad in den Bergen schlängelt sich an einem Fluss entlang. SONNE im Rücken, blauer Himmel von oben!

Nachdem ich letzten Donnerstag einer von vermutlich hunderten war, die keinen Startplatz mehr beim Zugspitz Ultra bekommen haben, habe ich spontan umgeplant und werde nächsten Juli die 100km im Stubaital versuchen! Ist zwar ein Stück weiter weg und auf einer mir völlig unbekannten Strecke, hat aber ein sehr ähnliches Streckenprofil, was Charakter, Länge und Höhenmeter angeht. Freu mich drauf und bin gespannt, ob ich nach dem DNF dieses Jahr dort endlich die 100 knacke!

Im Wald, Blick durch die Stämme mehrerer Bäume hindurch, ein paar umgestürzte Bäume liegen auch auf dem Boden, der von Herbstlaub bedeckt ist. Sehr vage ist zu erkennen, dass die Bäume auf einem steilen Hang stehen, ganz im Hintergrund (etwa links oben) sind in der Ferne ein paar Häuser zu sehen.

Blick auf einen Waldweg, der sich in einer leichten Linkskurve nach oben schlängelt. Am Rand des Wegs stehen Bäume, die überwiegend bereits kahl sind, der Boden am Rand des Weges ist mit Herbstlaub bedeckt. Den rechten Bildrand bedeckt fast vollständig ein Baumstamm, direkt links neben diesem Stamm steht in der oberen Bildhälfte ein Pfahl mit Wegweisern. Hinter den Bäumen ist blauer Himmel zu erkennen. Der Baumstamm rechts sowie die Fotografin selbst werfen einen Schatten auf den Weg, die Sonne scheint quasi von rechts hinten in das Bild.

My recent plant-powered adventure was watching the sunrise on a 15-mile (24km) gravel bike commute out to a forest trailhead, running a trail marathon and then bike commuting 15 mile bike home.

I recovered by mid-week, so said yes when a friend invited me to run another 26 mile / 42 km trail run the following weekend. Doing OK for nearly 50 years old.

Bike parked in front giant 26.2 sign.

Somewhat similar but a “reverse concept” is done at the Swedish Equinox Race. You are driven blindfolded to an unknown start location and need to find your way back to the finish with just a compass and map (your phone is in a sealed envelope and watches with mapping function are not allowed).

Haven’t found a partner for this yet. You start in 2 people teams.

- - -
“Teams (2 people) are blindfolded during travel to an undisclosed location and released into the wild at midnight. From there, they must find their way back through remote forest and open landscape, navigating between two compulsory checkpoints along the way.

The distance is unknown, somewhere between 80 km and 130 km, with a 24-hour time limit to reach the finish.”

Escape from Meriden. Never heard about the event. But it looks like a fun, great adventure. The race race starts in Meriden. And the goal is to get as far as possible in 24 hours by choosing your own route.

Love the wording in the info: “Will the course the marked?Ha ha ha ha ha, good one. What, seriously? No, you decide your own course! Your fate is your own.” and “Will there be hot-towels , masseurs, and cheesecake at the checkpoints There aren’t any checkpoints. By all means find yourself 24-hour garages, fast food outlets, cafes, pubs, and whatever else en-route. Planning is half the fun!”

According to HDSport’s calendar of races, in Germany there are currently 798 events labeled ‘Trail’ for the year 2026. For the search term ‘Ultralauf’ – ultra race – you’ll get 679 results and 459 for the term ‘Berglauf’ – mountain race. ( I concede that some races might be tagged with multiple terms here, so…

Last week was stressful again. I had difficulties squeezing in my runs into a busy schedule. Unfortunately, this led to me being pretty tired today. So I decided to do the same long run as last week instead of the planned 20k. The weather also wasn’t that great, which provided another excuse.

@bergmeister there is a race going from Alagna Valsesia @ 1192m to the Margherita Hut @ 4554m and back: 17.5km with 3490m of EG. The Monte Rosa Skysummit.

Incredible challenge. https://youtu.be/6w2HGpLACXo?si=V5DyTNTzodFQ8lfH

”MONTE ROSA SKYSUMMIT – 4554m – Teams of two
Distance 17.5 km. Vertical climb 3,500m+

The course retraces the original uphill route first completed in 1993 from Alagna Valsesia, 1,192m, via the Bocchetta delle Pisse, 2,396m, to the Indren cable car station at 3,260m. It continues towards the Gnifetti Hut, 3,647m, Colle del Lys, 4,250m, to summit at the Margherita Hut, 4,554m. The return is on the same course”

✅ Kullamannen by UTMB 2025 | 100 Miles

Second Kullamannen 100 miler completed (2024+2025) 👏🏻🥳. This one had 100m less vert but was 10K+ longer (~173K). I am super happy to have completed it 🥳 - and no injuries.

It was a hate/love experience: hard as I entered a terminal “cannot-run-anymore” state after 100K 😂. 50%+ DNF tells a story 🥵. Lovely day hours : wonderful nature 🤩

A wooden post stands upright in an open field, with a sign attached to it featuring the European Union flag. The flag is predominantly blue, marked by a circular arrangement of yellow stars. An arrow pointing left indicates the direction. In the background, a cloudy sky looms over green hills and fields, bathed in soft, natural light.

Alt...

A dirt path winds through a landscape that transitions from green fields to a small hill in the distance. The hill is covered with trees displaying vibrant autumn colors of orange, yellow, and red. Above, the sky is mostly cloudy, adding a dramatic effect to the scene. The path is flanked by lush greenery, inviting exploration.

Hmmm I once saw a lady trail running using a simple rule to guesstimate how long a run would take. She kinda knew her normal speed and the distance, but for every X meters up she added Y minutes to the time. And for the life of me I can't remember who she was and what X and Y is. I just know it was very useful and pretty accurate to let the lass know how long I would be out for. Any of you lot have seen this or remember it?

Interesting read. Recommended. So refreshing. Double World Champion Nina Engelhard is neither a pro-runner - she has a regular job and no sponsors.

The 28-year-old from Kassel, Germany, who only really started trail racing in 2023, doesn’t train with a coach, frequently doesn’t race with a watch, and only runs 50 to 70 kilometers a week — supplementing her daily exercise with swimming, rowing, and cycling. She says, “I can’t say what a general week looks like because it’s really decided on a daily basis.”

“I earn my money working because I do not want to be told which races I have to compete in…She also sees no reason for publicly sharing what she’s doing, saying, “I’m doing it all for myself. I’m not that interested in what other people do for daily training.”
