we have a lot of SE Asian food here, and a pretty decent Thai place about 15min from my home. I made the mistake of requesting medium heat in a red curry once and I started hiccupping. that’s when I know it’s spicy hot.
I haven’t ventured into Malaysian food yet, but what I really miss is the claypot rice I had in Singapore. Pretty close to a bibimbap. that smokiness to the rice with everything else in that dish is just deadly good.
I will try to get some links for you on this. I posted a few weeks ago about a friend who is doing a support run for a cross canada venture happening right now.
there’s a ton of science into this, I’m sure that Mike has come across these issues before. Will see what he knows about it. I know he is eating 3-4x per day with various shakes/gels for nutrients and electrolyte replacement. high protein diet and big dinners once the day’s run is complete. he’ll be doing about 50km/day for 7 consecutive in a few week
I used to get Bibimbap at a particular restaurant and it was pretty legit. then they took it off the menu and I haven’t seen it in 3-4 years. I’m going to go search for it soon. it’s a craving…
Some achievement that will be. Worth looking at what the ultra marathon guys do I guess. That said we’re in peak cycling season now. There’s got to be loads of info out there on what those guys do during the grand tours - Giro, Tour de France etc. These guys cram calories like nothing and still can’t maintain weight during the race. They are effectively killing themselves.
I wonder if the crowds there will be tear gased too?
I’ll be very interested in seeing how he manages his running load. He’ll have to run it in three-four splits i believe though over a period of 16hrs assuming that he gets 8 hrs per day of sleep. (the 50km per day) . Still going to be an awesome accomplishment.
what’s impressive is the main runner on his journey (and one of his ultra teammates for Canada) Dave Proctor is doing. reached 3100km last week. Dave Proctor << link to GPS - looks like he’s averaging 9km/h?!?!?
Also i am able to do 13-14km in the first hour of running. And like i said can stretch myself with a little bit of training to do a 21km in 2 hrs. But then to recover from that and then do a further 30km in the day takes major respect.
Was kinda fedup this run when i didnt check the time… Thought i had a lot left in the tank and then came to a stage where i had to run 4 km in 15 min just because i was cruising on some shitty metal ballads.
