Hi All,
This is a great topic of discussion. I have similar queries about the ‘recovery run’after the ME workout.
I am training for a mountain challenge and following Mike Foote’ s vertical plan. My goal is 100km with 9000m elevation and was wondering if doing Z1/Z2 hikes in the hills is appropriate for the following 2 recovery runs (on the Wed & Thurs).

I am left wondering if light efforts in the hills is appropriate to allow for the necessary recovery.

My quandary is how do I generate the necessary mileage and vert if I keep these recovery runs on the flat.

Thanks Team!

Hi Lindsay.
I am a big fan of the VJ Maxx.They have excellent grip, comfortable cushioning and a fantastic kevlar upper for durability and protection. I have narrow feet which these accommodate but they have a wider toe box which gives a bit more room at the front if needed.
They are meduim weight(uk 8 250g.

In my opinion they are great for skyrunning 30k-50k.
