rec.runner's question dated january 14, 2024:

"Hi. I'll be on Mars on the weekend. I have a few questions:

- Are there any good trails that anyone can recommend?
- Is there any specific breathing technique I should be following?
- I heard if you weigh 200 lbs on Earth, you weigh only 76 lbs on Mars. So does this mean I won't
need my cushioning shoes? Can I use flats?

Thanks. rec.runner. "

The terrain might be a little rough and I don't think there are many sidewalks there, so you may
want to wear your usual training shoes, just to avoid a twisted ankle and other similar injuries.
However, on the brighter side, your 12oz training shoes will only weigh 4oz on the red planet. If I
were you, I would bring my own water with. If you want to do any hill workouts, the area around the
Valles Marineris would probably be a good start.

If you do any races on Mars, make sure to take detailed notes for the race report.

Interesting since I was planning a run on Uranus this weekend. Lube up...

lordy! David, what is the temp down there right now?

here in Ottawa, the wind chill has brought it down to about -40 celcius. i wanted to run really
badly this morn, but opted not to. -30 is my limit.

There are paved roads/canals running all across the surface.

Practice holding your breath as long as you can.

Drop into your nearest scuba store and buy a weight belt. You'll be back to normal.

Quoted message said:

It looks like a lot of small pebbles would make the flats pretty uncomfortable. Better stick to the
cushioned shoes.

I think you're a little confused. It was -40 *Fahrenheit*.

I never run in Kelvin Kleins, ever since a girl found me passed out in the fifties in purple ones
and thought that was my name. Come to think of it, that was my mom!

You canadian pussys. It's -40 DEGREES FERENHEIT here. I did my hour (indoors on my
eliptical trainer).

I hear you like 'em much younger than 30, more like your best friend

Hey Cam, I was "oot and aboot" today for a run at lunch time here in Ottawa and it was indeed
somewhat "brisk" -- eyelashes froze together from time to time, sunglasses had ice build-up inside,
shoes got that "frozen high-tech materials" feeling, all the usual stuff, but the sun was shining
and overall it was quite refreshing.

Cheers, db (in Ottawa)

Run on Mars........please, all of you.

You will need a pressured suit and oxygen tank to run on Mars. That can
easily make you weighting 200lb on Mars.
Trails...There should be some good trails or you can make a few.
The real problem is the heat build-up and sweating. I doubt that your suit
is able to keep up for extended period.

hi Diane,

you brave soul, venturing out in THAT. the extreme temps, plus my lack of opportunities to run,
have kept me indoors and unfortunately away from running very much. it's a miracle if i get out
once a week now. i did go out several times over the Christmas holiday, and then remembered what i
was missing.

i've been cycling on my indoor stationary bike, and get out the local indoor pool for laps fairly
regularly though. i really want to get into some training soon so i'll be in fighting shape for the
St. Pat's Day Race. fortunately, i just landed a new job with more reasonable hours, so i think i'll
be able to do my runs in the early evening again.

on another note, i just picked up the DVD of "Prefontaine" (great inspiring movie of the 70's
runner) for only 8 bucks at Loblaws the other day. and a friend in Montreal found an even cheaper
DVD of the Pre movie "Without Limits" for me. with these to inspire me, i'll get back on track (pun
intended).

happy running... or whatever 🙂

nope, we don't talk in Fahrenheit degrees here in The Great White North.

minus 40.

If it's so cold on Mars, why would heat build-up be a problem?
