First ultra
Hi! Me and my workmates got invited to join our organizations fundraiser 100km-trail walker event in McLehose Trail, Hong Kong this coming November. The race should be completed by all four members within 48 hours. So we’ll be hiking at night for sure.
None of us have done races close this, in terms of distance nor setting. Almost all have done day hikes (Pulag, Ambangeg trail) and some running events (16km). We have started training last week and continue to progress until the week of the event (with off loading and tapered volume, as design by our coach).
What shoes do you recommend for this type of distance considering that the trail is 55% paved, 30% natural dirt & forest, and 15% stone steps and rocky terrains?
Aside from shoes, any other tips, especially for mental training?
Highly appreciate your responses. Maraming salamat. God bless sa aming mga katawang lupa 💪👆🏼
