As a matter of fact, towards the end I did feel GI issues creeping in!

Thank you :)
Didn't have any during my training runs, but something felt wrong around my hip and thigh during the 32nd kilometer of the race! Ignoring it was extremely difficult, which explains as to why I walked most of the 41st kilometer, but then I just realise that it's a no-go-back situation as I'm almost done with the distance!

Surprisingly fine! It's the shins that hurt though :(

My approach is to try and get zoned out, to the point where your legs are on autopilot. Hence I usually try and pick a point far ahead of me and just stare at that until I reach it, and repeat the same. Helps me!

Haha yes the 50k is one of the shorter ultra distances!

Wish I could. This was around my college campus. The campus is in a pretty unsafe area, so running outside would be risky, especially given that it was at 4am and I also usually don't carry my phone with me!

A bowl of cashews, almonds and figs is my personal favorite right after a race!

I never have any problems with my endurance, but after running 15km on a road, I won't be able to walk stairs for the next 3 days ...

They're also not even answering questions, so not much of an AMA at the moment anyway

Which kilometre was the worst?

Did you enjoyed?
void_public t1_iyz8l47 wrote
first of all congrats!
question: i usually start having issues with some body part, be it ankle, knee or similar that starts hurting after around 15-20km - do you have that too and if yes do you just ignore it or how do you deal with it?

Reply to comment by SaltineFiend in We're Tom Wolf,Eliza Sweren-Becker, and Ethan Herenstein. We work on democracy reform at the Brennan Center for Justice. Ask us anything about the Supreme Court’s upcoming case Moore v. Harper and the “independent state legislature” theory. by TheBrennanCenter
I mean, not really. The only real way the POTUS could tell the Court that would be to expand the number of Justices on the Court and install his own nominees to outweigh those already there, but the president can't do this on his own; he'd need Congress to help out too. It would be a big step that seems unlikely to get done.
