The 2,500-meter downhills where you're cramping the whole way, and the lessons you only learn the hard way (yes, including that peanut butter smoothie disaster). Transgrancanaria champion Ida Nilsson breaks down the balance between going out too fast and too slow, and why everyone is so dialed in now. Her advice on how to run faster is way more practical than you think. Here's the thing about running these long races: it's all about the small goals. You can't think about the whole 50 or 100 miles. You break it down – this climb, this downhill, when to eat, when to drink. And for the love of your toes, get shoes half a size bigger! Your feet swell, especially on a warm ultra. Oh, and coke at the end? Apparently it's a stomach-settling miracle. So what's the one tip you wish you'd gotten before your first big race? --- 00:00 The Cramping Downhill from Pico de Neve
