No wonder that trail is closed, I had no idea and was salty when my running route got diverted

Pacing is pretty individual, general guidance is slower so that you aren't running yourself too hard but depending on the athlete "slow" is super individual.
Theres a pretty great documentary on the backyard ultra that the people who host the Barkley marathons put on, I think it does a great job of capturing the psychology of the last few standing. TLDR starting the next lap is the hardest part. https://youtu.be/ZRXKZSqvtrw

8 Laps would put you at a little over 33 miles if your using the standard 4.167 mi laps. With a marathon under your belt I'm sure you would be able to hit your goal with a similar level of training following a 50k plan.
I'm assuming the 8+ lap goal is because you don't plan on running all night, because of that, sleep (what most people consider the biggest challenge) won't be a concern.
So not having to worry about a sleep plan, the biggest differences are going to be
- Total time on your feet
- Running on trail (assuming your marathon was road, if not disregard)
- Refueling throughout the race
From a training standpoint I would make sure you're getting trail miles that are going to be similarly hilly to the race course, target that zone 1 - zone 2 while training, and break up some of your longer runs into multiple short ones with 15-20 min breaks between them. If you can take a 12 mile run and break it into three 4 mile runs with short breaks you can dial in your refueling and recovery strategy and see what works for you.
Backyard ultra is a great goal and tons of fun!
In the spirit of making the communities you want to see, I've created !14ers! A fairly niche topic but would love to see trip reports trickle in. Links [/c/14ers@lemmy.world](/c/14ers@lemmy.world) [lemmy.world/c/14ers](lemmy.world/c/14ers) !14ers@lemmy.world

It'a going to be up to admins to relieve communities of mod squatters. I believe they have been responsive in the past, I just don't have direct experience with them.

I had a couple that got stuck, I was able to retry the sub and they went right through.
Lots of great throws. Really interested in the O Soto Gari grips at 3:34, going to have to give that a try at randori.

I tried playing the OG version on the SNES virtual console and bounced off of it. I loved the remake of Links Awakening so I've got high hopes for this too.

Started judo in 2017, got 4th kyu in 2020 right before COVID popped off, had a kid in 2021 but this year I've been getting back to practice regularly so hoping to test for sankyu at the end of this year.
How about you?

This brings up an Interesting discussion I end up having with people, which one gets more holes, the salt or the pepper? I've always done salt with more holes and pepper with less.

Ok that update clears up the question lol definitely taking about the same community in both those links. My theory is that each instance is reporting the number of users in their instance that joined the community but I can't find anything to back that up with. Good question following to see if we can get a more authoritative answer.

Always, traveling solo is great but the video call at the end of the day always pulls on the heart strings.

I don't think I've talked to a single person who's stopped drinking that regrets it or doesn't feel 100x better. I'll be curious to see if alcohol consumption trends down over time.
