The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Launch in Early 2025
Tumblr media
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
The most recent rumour on Weibo from tipster Ice Universe confirms that the Galaxy S25 Ultra will still have four cameras, but the ultrawide sensor and the 3x camera will receive much-needed enhancements, increasing their combined resolution from 12 MP to 50 MP. This rumour disproves earlier ones that suggested the S25 Ultra included a triple-camera module.
Over the past month, rumours regarding the camera module of Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra have been circulating quickly. A few (less well-known) tipsters stated that the current quad-camera module would be replaced with a triple-camera module; however, others refuted them, one of whom being Ice Universe, who has since released some fascinating new information.
Ice Universe states that the 3x telephoto and ultrawide cameras will both eventually be upgraded to 50 MP sensors in a Weibo post. Currently, the 3x camera utilises a 10 MP sensor, while the ultrawide device uses a 12 MP sensor. Since the S21 Ultra, neither unit has changed, and many believe that the comparatively old sensors are a stark weakness in an otherwise excellent camera configuration.
It’s also important to note that since the Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S24+, the larger siblings of the Galaxy S24 Ultra, share the same cameras, it’s reasonable to assume that any upgrades will be reflected throughout the S25 family.
It is anticipated that the 200 MP primary camera and the 50 MP 5x lens will remain with their present sensor configurations in the interim. Pixel binning techniques should enable the S25 Ultra to deliver greater low-light performance consistently across the focal length range, at least on paper, as the other two are also receiving a resolution bump.
With the Sony Xperia 1 V being a notable exception, zooming between the preset focal lengths is always a little hard because the phone is effectively disguising digital zoom as continuous optical zoom. A higher resolution sensor ought to enhance that, as well as maybe macro capability, should Samsung choose to reduce the close-focusing distance of the 3x shooter.
There will undoubtedly be more unverified stories regarding the cameras and other specifications of the S25 Ultra, but if this one is accurate, Samsung enthusiasts will be overjoyed.
According to leaks, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra could be a photographic powerhouse. The latest Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra leak may boost photography. Based on trends and rumours, let’s examine the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra‘s camera system before its early 2025 introduction.
Sensor Upgrades Beyond Megapixels
Ultrawide and 3x telephoto cameras
This are the Ice Universe Weibo leak’s key improvements. Although megapixels are visually appealing, they are not the only camera capability statistic. The quality and size of the sensor are also very important.
Ultrawide Improvements
The 12MP ultrawide sensor on the latest Galaxy S24 Ultra is a standout feature. Compared to the primary camera, this sensor has a larger field of view, making it perfect for recording vast landscapes or confined interior settings. The 12MP resolution, however, may be limited in terms of detail, particularly when cropping or enlarging. A big improvement would be the rumoured 50MP ultrawide sensor on the S25 Ultra. This can result in substantially clearer and sharper ultrawide photos, especially in well-lit environments. In addition, the increased resolution might help low-light photography by enabling more drastic cropping without compromising detail.
Telephoto Tweaks
The 10MP, 3x optical zoom telephoto camera on the Galaxy S24 Ultra. This makes it possible for consumers to take close-up pictures without sacrificing much quality. According to the S25 Ultra leak, the 3x zoom feature will remain while the sensor is bumped up to 50MP. Even if the zoom range might not change, images taken at closer range and in low light conditions may turn out to be clearer because to the larger megapixel count. Those who routinely zoom in on far-off things or who desire additional flexibility when cropping their telephoto photographs may find this update especially intriguing.
Possible Consequences and Supplementary Elements
Although these leaks present an intriguing image, it’s crucial to take into account other elements that could affect the S25 Ultra’s camera performance, such as:
Sensor Size
Generally speaking, a larger sensor size collects more light and details, producing images with better quality especially in low light. Larger sensors for the improved telephoto and ultrawide cameras on the S25 Ultra might greatly improve overall camera performance, says Samsung.
Image Processing
Over the years, Samsung has continuously enhanced its image processing algorithms. These developments, together with the speculated sensor upgrades, may allow the S25 Ultra to produce images with outstanding quality. These capabilities could include clearer night photography, enhanced noise reduction, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) processing for greater dynamic range.
Software Integration
A key component of the user experience is the Samsung camera app. It’s possible that new software features that make use of the enhanced technology may be added, such as stronger autofocus capabilities, enhanced portrait modes with more realistic background blur, and perhaps even new shooting modes.
How the S25 Ultra May Compare
The world of smartphone photography is quite competitive. Compared to its possible competitors, the S25 Ultra’s purported camera specifications appear to be as follows:
Megapixel Race
Although megapixels aren’t important, some rivals may claim primary sensors with even greater megapixel counts. But Samsung frequently prioritises improving image processing and sensor quality in addition to megapixels.
Sensor Size
A number of flagship smartphones, especially those with primary cameras, already have larger sensors. In order to be competitive in low-light photography, the S25 Ultra may need to rely significantly on software developments if it keeps the same main camera sensor size as its predecessor.
Distinctive Features
A few rivals may have distinct camera functionalities such as multiple zoom-range telephoto lenses or inventive time-of-flight sensors for depth detection. It may be necessary for the S25 Ultra to set itself apart by a combination of software and hardware optimisation, maybe emphasising features like enhanced video recording capabilities or computational photography methods.
The S25 Ultra as a Potential Superpower in Photography
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra seems to be developing into a competitive smartphone photographer, based on the leaks. A compelling camera system is suggested by the rumoured improvements to the ultrawide and 3x telephoto cameras as well as Samsung’s track record of image processing advancements. But it’s important to keep in mind that these are only leaks. To find out the exact specs and compare the S25 Ultra to the competition, we’ll have to wait for the formal launch.

Best phone 2023 the top smartphones to buy right now
It's almost the end of 2023, and we already have the best smartphones list here! There is no right time to choose your new phone, so if you want to change it, do it now! Here's a list of the best 2023 phones from UAE's favorite online electronics store Jumbo!   
Android or iOS: Which is the best?  
Android phones are easily customizable since you can change the app and the phone interface. Android phones are available in all ranges – from lower-priced models to the premium range. These phones also let the app developers test and release more apps, which is not the case in iOS software.   
iOS phones   
iOS phones are known for increased security and have the best app store, so only verified apps can be downloaded and installed. It is a powerful series with the highest resale value of any other model in the market.   
The best phones of 2023  
iPhone 15 series  
The iPhone 15 series has the new A17 bionic chip that boosts the camera and overall performance twofold. This has also increased the digital zoom capacity of its cameras and can be seen only in the current iPhone generation and not any other phone from other brands. The always-on display and the USB C port are the newest features to look forward to in this series.   
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 & Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5  
Both these phones have a larger and clearer display with improved camera features. The Snapdragon 8+Gen 1 processor powers these models with ample battery to sustain for two days and provides several features to boost productivity. These two are the best flagship phones to consider buying this year.   
Vivo V29  
It features a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G processor, and 8GB or 12GB of RAM at an affordable price. The V29 has a triple-lens rear camera system with a 50MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2MP monochrome sensor. The front camera has a 50MP sensor. The V29 has a 4600mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging. It runs Android 13 with Vivo's OriginOS skin on top. Its other features include a 120 Hz refresh rate, a large battery with quick charge support and a powerful processor.   
Nothing Phone 2  
It has a unique design with customizable LED lights and a transparent back. With a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, you get clear pictures even in low light. The performance is up to the mark and offers minimalistic software that handles the phone well, even when the load is too much. Nothing 2 is worth the choice, in the reasonable price range for its features.   
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra  
 The S23 Ultra has a quad-lens rear camera system with a 200MP main sensor, a 12MP ultrawide sensor, a 10MP telephoto sensor with 3x optical zoom, and a 10MP telephoto sensor with 10x optical zoom. The front-facing camera has a 10MP sensor. The S23 Ultra has a similar design to the S22 Ultra, with a flat-edge design and a large, curved display with 120 Hz refresh rate. It also supports wireless charging and has stereo speakers. The camera and its performance are its main selling points, so buy this phone right away!  
How do you select a new smartphone?  
Performance: Processor (CPU), RAM (Random Access Memory), storage   
A new smartphone should have a solid and snappy performance with ample storage facility so that the phone does not hang whenever the memory has reached at least 75%.    
Camera quality   
Who wouldn't love owning a phone with excellent cameras that help you shoot the magical golden hour moments or a funny thing your kid or pet does? Choose a phone with at least 25 pixels and above so that your selfies portrait pictures turn out good during the day and night.    
Design and build   
One of the attractive features of the smartphone is its design and build, as it decides the weight of the phone and its look. The sleeker the phone is, the handier it will be. You should also note that smartphones should have at least a 25% matte finish so that it doesn't slip off your hands quickly.    
Battery life and charging   
All of us love phones that allow ultra-fast charging. Samsung's models come with a quick-charge adapter and cable. This feature helps, especially during sudden travel plans or unexpected power cuts.    
Display quality, brand and reputation   
The display is another feature that immediately attracts users since it shows how well the phone is built. It also decides the phone's size; the more minor the display is, the greater the convenience.    
Apple, Samsung, Vivo, and Nothing have created a niche in the smartphone world with their top features like camera quality, privacy, user interface, etc. Try to zero on the phones from these brands so they last longer, so you need not worry about changing for at least five to six years.    
Operating system (OS) and price   
The operating system is the one that holds the software and hardware together in the phone, which also extends its support by overseeing the performance of the phone with innovative features, the best app interface, and so on.    
The price depends on almost all the factors listed here. See which of these features matter the most to you and choose wisely.    
Software and user experience   
Software is one major component in the smartphone market, as the entire performance is based on this. The phone's responsiveness, security, and camera quality depend only on the chipset and software.     
User experience is the next feature to consider, as most of us expect our phones to perform faster and better. You will regret the choice if your smartphone can't help you find it with a tap or two! Many phones from Apple, Samsung, OnePlus, Vivo and so on are known for their user experience.     
App ecosystem and upgradability    
Upgradability usually refers to software updates that fix bugs and remove malware infestation, improving the user interface and speeding up the phone's performance with improved app features.      
Security and privacy    
Since most of our activities are done online, especially shopping, which needs a ton of personal details, security over our data is an important feature to look at in a smartphone. You need a phone which will alert you immediately when there's a virus attack or if a website tries to access your information. In this case, your new phone's software and processor are the main components in maintaining privacy. This includes Apple and Samsung, who bring out new software features for data protection and are known for not revealing any data to third-party apps, even during emergency cases.     
Where can you buy the best smartphone in the UAE?  
Jumbo is the favorite online destination to buy phones in the UAE, which offers excellent deals for all your smartphone purchases! Visit our website to pick up your phone now!

OnePlus 11 Design, Camera, Features: All The Information You Need To Know
If you’re looking to upgrade your phone and purchasing a Samsung or Apple, then wait, have you heard about the OnePlus 11?
The OnePlus 11 includes some new features, including a completely redesigned camera.
OnePlus gets off to a good start in 2023 with the release of its most premium smartphone, which is followed later by models with fewer features and lower prices.
The OnePlus 11 will go on sale on February 7, 2023, competing with the Xiaomi 13 and the Samsung Galaxy S23.
Now the OnePlus’s main series is now more premium and competes directly with the top Android ecosystem players.
In this guide, you’ll know everything about the OnePlus 11 launch in India, including technical specifications, design, expected pricing, and more.
OnePlus 11 Features:
Here are some of the key OnePlus 11 features that you should be aware of before you make your purchase decision.
OnePlus 11 Design: All Unique & Attractive
The OnePlus 11 finally arrives with a circular camera shape with LED flash and a total of three sensors.
OnePlus has collaborated with Hasselblad on the OnePlus 11, as they have also done with previous models.
Those who don’t know what Hasselblad is, then it is a well-known producer of digital cameras and lenses.
There will be:
A 50 MP main camera,
A 48 MP ultra-wide camera,
And A 32 MP telephoto lens.
The OnePlus 11's sides will be curved and have a sleek design, making it simpler for users to use the phone with one hand.
In the brand-new OnePlus 11, the alert slider is now available and can be seen alongside the volume and power keys on the sides.
The screen size of the OnePlus 11 will be 6.7 inches, and it will have a Quad HD+ 1440p resolution and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz.
However, 120 Hz is not ideal for all uses. This indicates that it will adjust automatically to the content being displayed.
They may have created something like the pro-motion displays on iPhone 14 pro.
OnePlus 11 Camera: Huge Cameras With Exceptional Quality
Triple Camera Setup:
Wide 50 MP, 1/1.28", Dual Pixel PDAF
Ultrawide 48 MP, AF
Telephoto 32 MP, 2x optical zoom, PDAF, OIS
Other Features: Dual-LED dual-tone flash, HDR, and Hasselblad Color Calibration.
In their camera sections, OnePlus has made some observable changes this year. The main camera on the OnePlus 11 has a 50 MP sensor and an f/1.6 aperture.
The field of view would be increased to 114 by using the ultra wide-angle.
It illustrates how OnePlus is making an effort to streamline its photographic offering by improving the main sensor.
We hope the brand compensates for the telephoto and ultra wide-angle lenses' lack of audacity on paper.
The Hasselblad Color Calibration technology should advance for precise and trustworthy reasons.
In terms of video, there should be a support for 8K up to a minimum of 24 frames per second. And 4K up to 120 frames per second.
OnePlus 11 More Features:
Talking about OnePlus 11 specifications, the all new OnePlus 11 comes with an Android 13.
The manufacturer promises that for at least three years, its main series devices will continue to receive significant Android updates. And four years of security updates.
Although OnePlus' OxygenOS interface and OPPO's ColorOS interface share a foundation, OxygenOS still has its own features and aesthetics.
A customizable side toolbar allows users to access helpful features without leaving an app, while the Always-On Display becomes compatible with the display of dynamic information by artificial intelligence.
Plus, this version includes HyperBoost GPA 4.0, which is a new feature that boosts in-game FPS while balancing your phone's power output and consumption using a number of performance settings.
OnePlus 11 Battery:
The battery in the OnePlus 11 will have a huge 5000 mAh capacity.
However, we can hope for a marginally longer battery life with software upgrades and a chip that should be more energy-efficient.
And when it comes to charging, we only remember the OnePlus VOOC rapid charging.
The OnePlus 11 is expected to have SuperVOOC 100W technology, which will charge the OnePlus 11 in less than 30 minutes.
OnePlus 11 Price In India:
The OnePlus 11 launch is now weeks aways, it’s an upcoming smartphone with a number of amazing specs that will blow your mind.
The OnePlus has not yet confirmed the pricing but it will be around ₹59,000. And once can even purchase the OnePlus 11 from Amazon as well.
The OnePlus 11 will combine intelligent performance with fantastic design.
OnePlus 11: Should You Upgrade?
We’ve discussed almost all its features, pricing expectations, camera, design, and all.
Now if you’re coming from a OnePlus 7 or 8 then you should definitely consider OnePlus 11 for your primary device.
You can purchase the OnePlus 11 directly from the OnePlus official website or from Amazon.
Regarding availability, OnePlus intends to hold an event in India on February 7, 2023, to formally introduce its most recent flagship along with the OnePlus buds pro 2. OnePlus buds pro 2 release date is the same as the OnePlus 11.
And if you’re eager to know OnePlus buds pro 2 price then it will be around ₹9,999. We've also put together a comprehensive OnePlus buds pro 2 guide that you should check out.

I can actually answer that question about Ryoma’s case! I apologize in advance for my literal ass essay, but at the same time I don’t because I love talking about Ryoma all the time.
OKAY!
So while it’s not directly stated in any way in game, it is most definitely implied that Ryoma just straight up never told anyone the reason he went after the Mafia.
Funny enough I mainly use the Ultimate Talent Development Plan for this kinda info. Because what little we do know about his crime is generally pretty interesting (at least to me har har!). 
Kaito is very helpful in this regard! And he basically outright says that he has no fucking clue why Hoshi did what he did. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s no way in hell that Kaito would be wondering “why Ryoma became such a sad sack” or “why he’s a total coward” if he knew  all of Ryoma’s loved ones are literally corpses in the dirt. And it’s not like Kaito is some rando nobody either, he was one of Ryoma’s fans when he was in the Tennis Club! Everyone that would play Tennis would know his name. If anything, other tennis players would prolly be the first to know? So it confirms that Hoshi didn’t even tell the person he left his cat to or any of his Team either.
But we DO at least that the general public also have no idea why Ryoma killed the mafia. And that’s confirmed in Ryoma’s interaction with Hajime in the UTDP, and with Shuichi & Kaede in the prologue!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So besides confirming that Kaede absolutely does not stay informed on any events that happen IRL ever (relatable) and that Shuichi still reads newspapers (old man alert), the general public does not know a thing. Neat.
Which I suppose also makes Ryoma’s statements in his 4th FTE all the more interesting in hindsight:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also tiny shoutout to Ryoma calling Shuichi spineless in the process lol. Makes me laugh every time.
Tumblr media
Along with his like, constant self deprecation and the way he really eggs people on like “oh I’m such a horrible person I’d leave my lover to die” and “I’m so awful I’m a convicted murderer” he really makes sure to put in the 9 years to both whine that he absolutely doesn’t want to tell anyone about what happened, but also really wants to tell someone what happened to him lol.
Combine that with his hesitation with being around detectives,
Tumblr media
it seems like he’s could have had run-ins with a detective or two in the past. Prolly during the Investigation for his crime. And from the looks and sound of it, likely didn’t tell them anything either. (Take a moment and imagine what his poor defense attorney must have had to go through tho. Couldn’t even get an emotional plea out of that man and Ryoma was prolly just saying “I’m guilty” all the time. Was prolly stuck doing an insanity plea to maybe get him a life sentence. I’d hate to have that nightmare of a case. Yikes!)
Whether or not he was actually was interrogated for that info would be a Your Milage May Vary kinda deal. But it is possible, depending on how you read his dialogue.
It’s totally possible Shuichi is the first person he’s told.  Neat to think about.
The only person that seems to know about Ryoma’s more personal business otherwise is Fuyuhiko (and maybe Peko by that logic??) 
Tumblr media
But also like, no shit the largest Yakuza clan leader in the literal globe would know why an entire mafia got murked by one guy. Mad impressive to hear I’d imagine, almost too fake to believe it’s real. Someone should write a fic about that tbh.
Also Peko says organizationS, as in multiple. Also destroyed is a really fuckin raw word to use. Very funny. Genuinely curious about Ryoma’s body count though. Is it in the triple or even quad digits??? 
Tumblr media
Also I wonder if this implies that Ryoma knows that Peko works for Fuyuhiko or at least the mob and just doesn’t care because she asks for cat pics all the time?? Very funny to think about.
Anyways! We know generally p much nothing about general perception to how people react to Ryoma’s case. But it’s interesting!! Really interesting! And it’s a topic I wish was actually brought up more, because I would imagine someone like Akane (who’s lived in the slums and scaped by watching her siblings casually die and likely watched the mafia and loansharks do their thing) may view what he did as a good thing, or Kiyotaka being conflicted that Ryoma killed people but also killed very bad people who do very bad things you get me?
It’s a fun fanfic premise. Ryoma’s a very fanfiction-able guy honestly lol. 
But the parallels are VERY interesting! And I’d like to now derail this post and talk about those similarities you mentioned in the first paragraph, to talk about the absolutely best part of Ryoma and Shuichi’s chemistry together (as friends or otherwise whatever floats the boat): Shuichi’s closure in Ryoma’s 5th FTE.
Tumblr media
I’d say you could definitely read Shuichi’s dialogue here about respecting Ryoma’s decision as a way of making amends with the guy from his past. And to have Ryoma accept those feelings? Damn bro, it’s so touching. Like a load off the shoulders. He doesn’t really have this type of interaction with anyone else either at any point, so it makes it all the more impactful.
That’s actually partially why I say Ryoma and Shuichi have such great chemistry, if just because they both help each other with their issues and don’t necessarily “solve” or “get rid of” them, they do provide closure for one another in their own dorky ways. It’s just neat. Love it a lot.
Anyways, lil detour over, but I def. agree that the additional content (the UTDP and Danganronpa S) definitely could have touched on it more. It’s REALLY cool to explore in fanart or fics tbh. Underrated potential.  I for one, would love more info about the general perception of Ryoma. He’d definitely have a weird creepy fanbase like serial killers do and he’d fucking LOATHE it lol.
You know, I've never seen anyone talk about how Ryoma and Shuichi's backstories mirror each other, when it comes to significant events in their life. Maybe this was gone over in-game and that's why nobody talks about it while I just missed it, but whatever, I'm gonna talk about it anyway
So we've got the murder case Shuichi solved, right? A crime was committed against the killer's loved one (driving them to suicide), so the killer took revenge by killing the victim. And then. And then!! We have Ryoma's altercation with the mafia, where they committed a crime against his loved one (killing his girlfriend, and I think his family too iirc?) and he took revenge by killing the entire mafia. Do you see the similarities in revenge murders playing a big role in both backstories?
However, this makes me curious about what happened directly after Ryoma's arrest. Shuichi was struck with the idea that maybe he was in the wrong for helping convict someone who'd just taken their revenge – were there people with similar opinions when it came to Ryoma's case? Did people even know the full story of his case, and why he killed that mafia? Or would there be people who didn't need to know the full story to argue what he did was righteous, because they saw the mafia as merely scum better off gone?
I think there's a lot of opportunities to explore when it comes to this parallel and the opinions of the general public surrounding Ryoma's murders. And I'm probably missing some details since it's been five years since I saw a playthrough of the game, but... knowing Danganronpa, they probably could have done more with this.

The Newly Weds (Pt.1)
Poppy x MC(Bea)
Tag list- @samanthadalton @baexpoppy @uhh-the-green-thing @kwaj115 @belvoiresqueenbee @rayvenz3 @rich-and-bitchy-is-my-type @a-ghost-girl @hallowdiamond @veenast @iamsimpforpoppy
Bea’s first day on campus left her with more questions than answers. She hadn’t run into that bitch Poppy in a few days but she wouldn’t mind making that small fry her bitch again.
Speaking of bitches, Chloe was gonna catch these farm hands as soon as she sees the ditz blonde again for destroying her laptop.
Oh and did she mention she hooked up with her professor? Talk about awkward. But at least Bea had a new friend, her roommate, Zoey. She already seems to have her back so all isn’t totally lost.
But as Bea sat at an upscale restaurant alone, she couldn’t help but think of home and how this could be a mistake, totally unaware of the shrimp paste of a woman sitting down across from her.
“Iowa.” Poppy said trying to antagonize the new girl some more.
She had finished up her dinner with Chloe and Veronica, and told them to run along. She spotted the new girl Hughes sitting alone in the back of the restaurant, such an easy target.
“What do you want.” Bea said disinterested, continuing to pick at her food.
“Normally I wouldn’t dare be caught talking to a bottom feeding cow wrestler like you in public, but I came over to remind you that Belvoire is my school. Your little stunt on the quad was brave, but stupid.”
“Puuuu-leaseee.” Bea laughed. “I could have your little school and your crown at the snap of my manicured fingers.”
“You’re just like every other triple digit waste of air that’s tried to come for my crown. News flash cow patty, I’ve made students more of a threat than you cry and transfer like the bottom feeders they are. Don’t make me ruin you before your Belvoire career gets started.”
Bea couldn’t believe the intensity and the hatred this girl kept inside. It was overwhelming and she had no clue where such a small woman kept it all. She was quite arousing when she was mad.
“Are you listening to me? Don’t tell me your deaf now too.” Poppy snapped her fingers trying to get Bea to snap out of her gaze. A gaze in which was burning right through Poppy, making her cheeks flush. “Stop staring you…beast! It’s rude!”
Bea smirked; seeing Poppy blush was all the fuel she needed, she caved for just a second showing her true feelings and Bea was ready to play.
She stood up from her side and made her way to Poppy’s, never taking her hungry gaze off the smaller girl. Like a cougar ready to pounce, she inched closer to Poppy, cornering her in.
“What do you think your doing Farmsville! Get your dirty farm hands away from me!” Poppy’s breath hitched as Bea forcefully held both of Poppy’s arms at bay with one hand and used her other to grab her chin, forcing her to look deep into her eyes.
“Admit it Pops, you want me, you want this.” Bea whispered, kissing around her ear.
Poppy moaned, damn her hormones and this freakishly strong farm girl. But she was right, she was willing to see if this 8 second ride was as advertised.
“Let’s grab some drinks and head to my place.” Bea added, leaving her mark on Poppy’s neck.
Beep…Beep….Beep…Beep(Alarm clock)
“Turn that damn thing offffff, my head hurts….” Bea cried out, lazily punching the alarm over and over until it shut up. Only to hear a weird ringtone going off simultaneously across the room.
(What sounds like a spam caller trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty)
“I swear Chloe I will kill you if this is some of your choreography bullshit.” Poppy winced sitting up in bed reaching for her phone.
“Huh, it was mom. 47 missed calls? What in the hell?” Poppy quizzed looking up from her phone realizing she wasn’t in her room.
“Morning Pops.” Bea said stretching out, making the smaller woman jump out of her skin.
“Damnit newbee! What the hell did you do to me last night! I don’t remember anything.”
“First off, stop yelling. My head is about to fucking explode. Secondly, I didn’t do shit. You ordered some fancy drinks and we fucked…a lot. And that’s all I remember.”
“What the hell is this?” Poppy panicked looking at her Pjs, “Farmsville Hog Calling Champion? I’m going to be even sicker.”
“You better call your mom, it seems to be important.” Bea noted, watching the phone vibrate and ring once again.
“Shut your filthy hog calling mouth and don’t tell me what to do.” Poppy demanded raising the phone to her ear.
“Hello mother!” Poppy’s fake ass turned from Princess to goblin in a mere second after hearing her mother’s tone.
“What the hell are you doing Poppy! Trying to ruin us for good!?” Poppy’s mom yelled enraged.
“Calm down mom, what are you talking about?” Poppy asked confused.
“Why don’t you check your Picta page! Mrs. Poppy Hughes!”
Poppy’s heart stopped, it just dawned on her she was wearing a wedding ring, so she quickly checked her socials and The T. Sure enough, her and Bea Hughes tied the Knot last night.
“I’m going to kill you Iowa!” Poppy screamed trying to smother Bea with her pillow.
“Poppy! Please let’s talk this out! It’s got to be a mistake!” Bea pleaded easily tossing her new ‘wife’ off her.
“Does this look like a mistake!” Poppy threw over their signed copy of the wedding certificate she found on the dresser, signed Mrs. and Mrs. Hughes.
“And look at this ring, where did you buy this? And vending machine!” Poppy protested.
“How do I know? Please calm down and let’s figure this out.” Bea said approaching Poppy who stood up and backed towards the door.
“No! Stay away! I’m gonna call my lawyers and sue your hillbilly ass!”
“Sue me? What’s yours is mine…honey.” Bea teased, not helping the situation.
“Just! Just stay away from me!”

I included the chapter so you’ll know what I’m talking about <3 And the full story can be found here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/11490639/chapters/25774182
Anyways, Chapter 20 - Dearly Beloved
Yuuri couldn’t contain his gasp when he saw Victor nail his quadruple jump. It was a quadruple salchow, and the landing was perfect.
“Good job, Victor.” Yakov called across the ice rink.
“I did it, Yakov, I told you I could!” Victor cheered. “Yuuri, did you see?”
Yuuri nodded frantically. “It was amazing!”
Victor skated towards him. “How did it look? Did I spin fast?”
“Yes, you did.” Yuuri assured. “I could barely count the spins.”
Victor beamed with pride. “Yakov, can I please use the jump in my short program?”
Yakov chuckled fondly before his face grew deadly serious. “No.”
“What? No? Why?” Victor questioned. “This jump will give me a new record.”
“Your program will get you a new record. You don’t need any quads.” Yakov explained. “Besides, you’ve only managed to land one. It doesn’t mean that you’re good enough to add a quad to your program on the last day.”
“But you promised that I could start competing with quads when I turned fifteen…”
“You’ve been fifteen for one day, Victor.” Yakov pointed out. “Calm down.”
“I’m perfectly calm.” Victor protested. “I’m just saying…”
“The answer is no.” Yakov stated, leaving no room for arguments.
Yuuri could tell that Victor didn’t let it go. His entire face was just screaming rebellion. “Okay, coach…” Victor said grimly. “Whatever you say.” ……………………………….
“Victor, you’re not going to do anything stupid, right?” Yuuri asked in concern. It was almost time for Victor to perform. And Victor had a weird look on his face.
The Grand Prix final was held in Moscow, Victor’s home territory. And his fans were definitely cheering the loudest.
Victor didn’t want to disappoint them by playing it safe. If he knew that he could be better, wasn’t he an idiot for not doing it?
“Victor?” Yuuri prodded.
“I’m not doing anything stupid.” Victor assured. “I’m doing something smart.”
“Just…” Yuuri started but trailed off.
“What?” Victor asked gently. It was almost time of him to go on the ice. But he couldn’t skate if Yuuri looked so worried.
Victor crouched down so he could get a better look of his mate, when Yuuri suddenly threw his arms around Victor’s neck. “Please, don’t get hurt…” He pleaded.
Victor hugged Yuuri back. “I won’t.” He promised. “I know what I’m doing…”
Yuuri nodded against his shoulder before reluctantly letting him go.
Victor backed away when he suddenly felt Yakov’s hand on his shoulder. “It’s almost time now, jacket off.”
Victor made a sound of acknowledgement. “Will you watch it for me?” He asked Yuuri.
Yuuri nodded solemnly.
Victor chuckled and took off the jacket that connected him to Russia, and handed it to Yuuri.
Yuuri almost choked on his own breath when he saw Victor’s costume in all its glory. He had seen it on TV, but it was so different in person. The crystals covering his entire torso, and the white fluffy wings on in his shoulders, made him look like an angel.
“Yuuri?” Victor asked worriedly.
Yuuri inhaled shakily. “Y-yes…?”
Victor smiled softly to his mate. “Try and breathe, okay?”
Yuuri’s face turned red in an instant, but he took a deep breath to appease Victor.
“That’s my boy…” Victor declared and ruffled Yuuri’s hair.
Yuuri tired his best to fix it, but without a mirror, it was more or less a lost cause.
Victor chuckled fondly. “You look so cute like that…”
“Victor.” Yakov snapped. “Focus.”
“Victor, focus…” Victor mocked in Japanese.
Yuuri laughed despite himself. “Victor, you really shouldn’t make fun of him… He only wants what’s best for you.”
“Yeah…” Victor scoffed. “We’ll see…”
“And now, give a warm welcome to Russia’s treasure. Who’s performing in his home territory this time around, Victor Nikiforov.” The announcer spoke. “Victor, skate.” Yakov urged.
Victor kissed the ring on Yuuri’s hand. “Cheer for me?”
Yuuri smiled. “Just try to stop me…” ……………………………
Victor was a panting mess by the time his performance was over. He had replaced all of his triple salchows with quad salchows. He had touched down on two, but landed the other three perfectly.
The audience roared in awe, and Victor felt as if he was on the top of the world. Despite having Yakov trying to burn him alive with a look so furious, that he made Medusa seem like a puppy.
But Victor decided that it didn’t matter, when he finally turned to the person he wanted to impress above all else. His true mate, who was currently hugging his jacket so tightly, that Victor was worried that he might choke himself.
He quickly made his way over to him. “Yuuri, what did you think?” He asked happily as he reached for the rink-wall.
“It was amazing!” Yuuri cheered as Victor skated to a halt. “You’re so amazing, everything was just so…so…”
“Amazing?” Victor filled in.
Yuuri nodded. “It was the best program I have ever seen.”
Yakov didn’t look impressed as he gave Victor the silent treatment, Probably because of all the reporters standing behind them. But his eyes said plenty.
Victor was going to get an earful later…
Victor didn’t care, however. Yuuri looked at him with so much admiration and love that it would definitely be worth it. He would spend the rest of his life with Yakov screaming in his ear, if that was what it took to have Yuuri look at him like that.
“I’m glad.”
Yuuri smiled before he flinched in realization. “Oh, do you want your jacket back?”
Victor laughed as he shook his head fondly. “I’m still very warm after the performance. Why don’t you hold onto it or now?”
Yuuri looked at the jacket determinately. “I will protect it with my life.”
Victor wrapped an arm around Yuuri. His mind was firmly made up that Yuuri was coming with him to the kiss and cry. “Please don’t risk your life like that. I can always get a new jacket…”
Yuuri smiled shyly. “Okay. But it would be a shame if anything happened to it. It’s a very beautiful jacket.”
“Do you want it?” Victor asked. “I can get a new one, and you can keep that if you’d like?”
Yuuri’s eyes widened. “Really?”
Victor chuckled and pulled Yuuri closer to himself to cover him from the flashing cameras. “Really.” …………………
The jacket was about five sizes too big for Yuuri, but that didn’t keep him from wearing it to Victor’s free skate the next day.
Victor beamed with pride. Having Yuuri wear his jacket made something flutter in his heart, just like the rings did.
It was probably his possessiveness as a alpha. If he could, he would probably put out giant billboards all over the world of the two of them together, with the inscription ‘true mates’. But his parents had already shot down that proposal four times. So it was probably not going to happen…
“What’s in the bag?” Victor asked. Breaking the silence the excitement had put them in.
Yuuri had been carrying a bag ever since they left the hotel. But Yuuri kept it in his free hand. Out of Victor’s sight.
“A surprise…” Yuuri said secretively.
Victor hated how curious that made him. “For me?” He asked.
Yuuri nodded. “You’ll get it once you get off the ice.”
“But, Yuuri…” Victor pouted. “Can you at least give me a clue?”
Yuuri looked away thoughtfully before he suddenly lit up. “It’s my favorite color.” He announced.
Victor hummed thoughtfully. There were a lot of things that could be blue. The ocean, the sky, the angry vein on Yakov’s forehead… But he seriously doubted that any of those would fit inside Yuuri’s bag.
“Victor, I’m warning you. If I see any quads….” Yakov started before Victor cut him off.
“Yeah, yeah. You’ll resign your post and leave me as a skating-orphan…” Victor repeated in amusement. “You made your points yesterday.”
“Victor… I would have to agree with Yakov.” Yuuri spoke up. “If there’s a risk that you might get hurt. I don’t want you to do it.”
Victor’s heart swelled at Yuuri’s concern.
“I won’t get hurt, solnechnyy.” Victor stated.
Yuuri still looked worried. “But can you promise me that you will stick with the triple jumps? Just to be safe…?”
“Yuuri…” Victor drawled. “You’re so cute when you’re worried.”
“Is that a yes?” Yuuri asked hopefully.
How could Victor possibly say no to that face. “Yes, love.” Victor relented. He was already in the lead with such a high score that he could probably skip his free-skate all together and still win. “I promise you that I won’t do any quads.”
Yuuri smiled gratefully. “Thank you.” …………………………….
Yakov had never appreciated a person as much as he did Yuuri Katsuki, also known as the Victor-whisperer. Finally, he had someone who could get Victor to stop being a reckless idiot.
Sure, Yakov loved his protégé, but god, he could be so stupid sometimes. Yakov didn’t want to keep Victor from evolving and becoming better. But Victor was still growing, and when it came to quads, they could be very dangerous if the distance were measured wrong.
Victor had always been a rebellious kid. Making his first quad when he was no more than ten years old. Just to prove to Yakov and himself, that he could.
Yakov had forbidden them immediately, for Victor’s own safety. But he always caught Victor trying stupid stunts when he wasn’t looking. But it turns out that he only needed Yuuri to get Victor to see reason.
Yakov would have to get his home number, just so that he could have Yuuri talk sense into Victor’s thick skull, the next time the kid got any stupid ideas.
“Isn’t he beautiful?” Yuuri asked in awe as Victor skated to a halt in his final position.
Yakov immediately snapped back to reality. Was Victor finished already?
“He’s a very good skater.” Yakov agreed sternly as he clapped his hands.
Yuuri smiled proudly. “I made him a wreath out of blue roses… I hope he will like it.”
Yakov almost snorted. “I think someone will have to rip it away from his cold, dead hands, if they ever want to take it away from him.”
Yuuri looked up at Yakov with a horrified expression. “What?”
Yakov suddenly remembered that he talked to an eleven-year-old he barely knew. He had heard so much about him through Victor, that he almost forgot that he barely had any relationship at all to the Japanese boy. And there he was, traumatizing him with his dark sense of humor.
“Not that anyone would kill him. Just that…” Yakov tried to explain himself. “I’m sure he’ll like the wreath….” He sighed.
“So, what are you two talking about?” Victor asked cheerfully as he suddenly appeared at the rink-side. “You’re not revealing my deepest secrets, are you?”
“Victor, that was amazing!” Yuuri cheered. “You were so beautiful.”
“Thank you, love.” Victor smiled. “Does this mean I’m worthy of the surprise?”
Yuuri smirked. “Well, you’re not off the ice now, are you?”
Victor’s eyes widened in surprise, before a giant grin spread across his face. He took a step forward so he stood on the concrete floor. “Better?”
Yuuri nodded and reached for the bag.
Victor took the moment to put on his skate guards. But just as he put the second one on, something was suddenly placed on his head.
He looked up to Yuuri’s smiling face. “I made it for you last night.” Yuuri announced. “It’s a wreath made of blue roses. They smelled like you, so I figured that they would make a good crown… For my prince…”
“Yuuri…” Victor drawled. His eyes were once again filled with tears. “What did I ever do to deserve you?”
Yuuri shrugged. “I guess you were just lucky…”
Victor laughed. He was once again reminded of why he loved this confident part of Yuuri. It made his heart beat impossibly strong in his chest. “I suppose you’re right.”
Yuuri blushed, back to normal self again. “Well, come on. We need to see your score…” He reached out his hand to Victor and nodded to the kiss and cry.
Victor took his hand in a heartbeat. “Of course, Luchik… Lead the way.” …………………….
Victor wore the wreath with pride as he stood at the top of the podium. It matched his outfit perfectly and everyone seemed to complement it every chance they got. Yuuri was so happy.
Victor had broken the world record in total score and had really set the bar until Yuuri would make his debut in the juniors.
Next year, Victor would move on to the ‘real’ Grand Prix. But hopefully, the next one who would crush his record in juniors would be his very own Yuuri Katsuki.
Yuuri was currently waiting for him with Yakov until the medal ceremony was over. Then they were going out for dinner together with their families to celebrate, and Yuuri would finally get to eat piroshkies.
Victor could barely wait.
“Thank you.” The photographer said, releasing the skaters from the podium.
Victor practically jumped off of it, in his rush to get back to Yuuri. And just when he saw his beautiful mate again, he heard a voice coming from above him.
“Congratulations on your win, Victor.”
Victor looked up and saw a little boy with curly golden hair and giant green eyes.
Victor smiled at him. “And what’s your name?”
The boy looked taken off guard by Victor’s response. “Christophe Giacometti.” The boy said almost too quickly to be audible.
Victor smiled at his reaction. “Thank you, Chris.”
The boy reminded him of Yuuri in some way, so young and filled with hope. Victor wanted to keep that alive. So he looked to his hands and noticed how many roses he held. Most of them probably wouldn’t even last through dinner, so it really couldn’t hurt to spare one.
Victor took one of them and threw it up to Chris. “See you at worlds.” He said with a wave.
Chris looked at the rose like it was magical.
Victor couldn’t help but chuckle when he suddenly felt how someone grabbed his hand. His Yuuri.
“Yakov told me that I should tell you to hurry...” Yuuri smiled. “Apparently you won’t listen to him?”
Victor feigned hurt as he allowed Yuuri to lead him away. “I do too listen to him.” He protested. “I just prefer to listen to you.”
Yuuri laughed. “By the way, who was that boy up there? The one you gave the rose to?”
Victor smiled teasingly. “Are you jealous, Pryanichek?”
Yuuri shook his head thoughtfully. “I know you love me more.”
Victor kissed the side of Yuuri’s head and successfully got a small laugh out of his beloved mate. “Always.”

5 Essential Strategies to Help You Survive Your First 100-Mile Ultramarathon
So you want to run a 100-mile ultramarathon?
It sounds crazy (100 miles??), but you’re not alone. For the first time years, marathon finishes are down, yet ultramarathons continue to grow in popularity and reach.
Whether it’s the lure of the challenge, the trails, or the unknown, the prestige of the 100-mile distance still reigns supreme.
For some of us, it was the 100-mile distance that got us excited about the sport to begin with. We watched a movie, read a book, or heard about the elites and thought, “Could I do that?”
Yes. Yes you can.
Well, probably. Maybe. It’s not for me to say — only you can decide.
But I can help you get started with just a few key strategies.
Because as casual and approachable as I like to make ultrarunning feel for all runners, before tackling the triple-digit distance, there are a few things you should know. Strategies I’ve learned from successfully training for and completing five 100-mile races myself.
First, Master the Basics
Before we get too far along, I want to make sure you’re in the right place.
See, a few years ago I wrote the simplest ever guide for running your first 50K. I tried to keep things as basic as possible while still hitting all the important stuff.
My four big takeaways were that in order to succeed in transitioning from road races to a trail ultramarathon, you need to:
Learn to run trails.
Slow down.
Go longer.
Perfect your nutrition.
If you’re new to ultrarunning, bookmark this post for (much) later and start with those four tips. It was two years, six ultramarathons, and countless ultra-distance long runs before I ran my first 100 miler. And looking back on it now, I wish I had even more experience before taking the plunge.
No matter how driven you are to run a hundo, if you’re new to the sport, take your time. The lessons you’ll learn through miles and races will make a huge difference when it’s 3:00am and you’re ready to curl up next to a bush and cry.
Understood? Great.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get into the five key strategies that will shape everything you do during 100-mile training.
1. Increase Your Weekly Mileage
When going from a marathon to a 50K, the mileage jump comes mostly from a longer runs or even multiple long runs on the weekend. In 100-mile training, however, most people will need to increase their weekday mileage as well.
I’m not talking about anything crazy, but for the first-time runners, things will look different.
What you need to know:
After an initial ramp-up, you can look forward to mostly 40-50 miles per week , with the exception being a few lighter weeks and those weeks when you have a Key Long Run scheduled (more on that below).
Expect your average weekday run to be 6-8 miles or 60-90 minutes in length. For many runners, this will be an increase from the 4-6 mile runs you might be more accustomed to.
When training for my first hundred, seven- and eight-mile weekday runs felt like a pretty big jump, but before long, it just became the standard, and anything shorter than that began to feel like a warm-up.
That’s the beauty of ultrarunning in general — perspectives change quickly. You may be surprised at how readily your body adapts to the increase, if you have the right fuel to support it. Speaking of which…
2. Get Ready for the Ultra Buffet
Let’s say your first 100 miler takes you 28 hours. If it starts at 5:00am, that means you’ll miss breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a second breakfast while out on the trail. That’s four meals!
No surprise, running gels alone aren’t going to cut it for most of us. Thankfully, you won’t have to resort to bits of flora from the forest floor. Enter the ultra buffet…
With sandwiches, fruit, wraps, soups, and sometimes even veggie bacon.
I’m going to share a bit about nutrition on race day, but the key thing to know while training is to test.
Test, test, and test again.
Use your long runs, tough workouts, and even rest days to think through nutrition strategies and see how foods sit in your belly.
What you need to know about real food:
These days it’s safe to assume that aid stations will have a variety of foods for plant-based athletes (even if it wasn’t intentional). Some staples include PB&J, fruit, chips, pretzels, and potatoes. And throughout a lot of hundred mile races, there’s often someone cooking up hot food like veggie broth, veggie burgers, or soup (plus a variety of non-vegan options like pancakes, bacon, etc.).
If you’re lucky enough to have a crew, however, having them prepare food ahead of your arrival can be a huge benefit. Some of my go-tos are:
Oatmeal
Hummus wraps
Instant noodle bowls (like vegan pad thai)
Refried beans in a tortilla
Coffee (at night, if they don’t have that at the aid stations)
At lot of this food sounds like the last thing you’d want to eat mid run, but for some reason, that doesn’t matter. You’re calorie deficient enough, moving slow enough, and ravenous enough that it just works.
And the more you can practice eating these foods before, during, or right after a long run, the more likely you are to know what’s going to work (and what isn’t) come race day.
What you need to know about gels, gummies, and sports drinks:
Like I said, the sports nutrition products alone won’t typically cut it on race day, but for me and most people, they still play a wildly important role. I may consume real foods at the aid stations, but it could be hours between each crew checkpoint, so I rely on gels, gummies, and sports drink to provide a consistent stream of calories throughout the entire run.
By the end of a hundred-mile race, in addition to all the real food, I may have gone through a 15-20 gels or gummies. In the second half of the race, it’s just a matter of closing my eyes and getting them in however I can. If you’re curious, my go-tos right now are:
Muir Energy Gels
HUMA Gels
CLIF Bloks
Tailwind sports drink (in small amounts for me)
Throughout training, find the products that work best for you and let your body get to know them well.
What you need to know about nausea:
By sticking with foods you’ve trained with, you’ll significantly reduce the risk of stomach issues. But even so, during a race as long as 100 miles, nausea at some point is almost a given.
Enter the boot and rally…
Just kidding. (Although sometimes puking — or pooping — is the best way to hit the reset button.)
There are a million reasons why you might feel nauseous, and ultrarunners have a variety of tricks (like ginger crews or ginger beer) for reducing it, but oftentimes the best way to get through it is to simply slow down, force yourself to eat and drink, and walk it out. Chances are you’ll rebound before you know it.
To prepare for something like this, embrace the nausea in training. If you’re out for a long run and your stomach flips, don’t stop. Take the steps to work through it, both mentally and physically.
Since we’re here anyway, let’s talk about those long runs.
3. Embrace a Few Key Long Runs
Surprise! Long runs are part of running an ultramarathon!
OK, it’s no secret that long runs are a key part of training. The weekly (sometimes twice weekly) long runs not only build strength, but teach you important lessons about nutrition, mindset, and how to handle the time on your feet.
When training for a hundred, you’ll continue to focus on your weekly long runs, but also add in a few (I typically plan for three) of what I call Key Long Runs (KLR) that the rest of your training is centered around.
What you need to know:
These Key Long Runs build, just like the rest of your training, and the last should be 3-4 weeks out from race day. All the training around each KLR is focused on getting you to the next one, and it may even include a short taper or recovery period.
So what can a Key Long Run look like?
Back-to-backs, where you’re running two significant long runs on consecutive days (or back to back to each other).
Training races, anywhere from 50K to 100K. Training races give you a chance to get into the racing mindset, test out your gear and strategies, and offer a really easy way to log some serious miles. Ahead of each of my hundred milers, I’ve run at least a 40-mile tune-up trail race.
Training runs on the course. If you can access the course ahead of time, I highly recommend getting in a KLR on the course. Some of my best pre-hundo long runs have been 10+ hour days out on the course, getting to know sections of trail, climbs, and terrain.
The self-supported ultra. There’s absolutely no shame in pulling out a map, plotting a random route, and getting in an ultra distance long run by yourself. (In fact, I think that’s pretty badass.)
(Check out simi-rad.com for more hilarious ultra “motivational” posters)
While you’re planning out your long runs, be sure you take it to account the conditions you’ll meet on race day. In other words…
4. Train for the Terrain
For any race, regardless of distance, taking terrain and conditions into consideration when training will help.
For a 100 miler, it can be the difference of finishing in glory or collapsing in an aid station chair halfway through and never getting back up again. I will die here before leaving this chair.
And of course, no two courses are the same.
Here’s what you need to know:
At the very early stages of your training, take the time to get to know the course, even if it’s just through race reports or maps:
What does the elevation profile look like?
How much vertical gain and descent?
Does the course consist of mostly smooth paths or rugged mountain terrain?
Is altitude a factor?
From there, plan your KLRs and other training runs to reflect that type of terrain. If it’s flat and fast, train flat and fast.
If it’s big mountains and rocky terrain, you better hit the hills and prepare your quads for a beating on the descents.
For example, ahead of the Hellbender 100 with over 25,000 feet of elevation gain/loss, I spent a lot of time hiking up the steepest trail I could easily access. I’d do laps, sometimes spending hours only to log a handful of miles. One week I ran that same loop, featuring a 1,500ft climb, eight times.
The race specific work you put in throughout training will pay dividends ten fold come mile 80.
While terrain is kind of a no-brainer, something you might not think about is the time of day that you’ll be running (like after sun set).
5. Prepare for the Night
One of the unique features of a 100-mile race is the fact that you’ll almost certainly be running through the night (maybe even two!).
Other than a few wish-I-could-forget-them nights when my daughter was an infant, hundred milers are the only reason I’ve pulled an all nighter since college. Not to mention the fact that you have to run the entire time too.
What you need to know:
1. Trail running: Trail running is trail running, but the experience of running at night is a little different. Even with a headlamp, it’s harder to see rocks and roots, and it’s easier to disconnect from your surroundings. Plus, it can get a little spooky when you’re by yourself.
The best thing you can do is practice. Grab a headlamp, an extra pair of batteries, let someone know where you’re going, and then hit the trail for night runs in the dark. You may actually find that it’s exhilarating and kind of addicting.
Here’s a guide I wrote that explores everything you should know about night running and safety.
2. Dealing with Exhaustion: Generally speaking, if you’re running through the night, you’ve already run through the day. That means you’re coming into a sleepless night already physically exhausted.
Without fail, some of my darkest moments in every hundred miler have been the span of time between 3:00am and sunrise. I drop into a place where sleep consumes every inch of my being.
Unfortunately, there’s not a ton you can do about this in training, but I do have a few strategies for fighting it on race day:
Just keep moving. The longer you sit in a chair by the fire at an aid station, the harder it will be to get back up.
Have a pacer when possible. If they know to keep you moving no matter what, they’ll do it.
Eat. Food always helps.
Don’t be afraid of caffeine, whether that’s from coffee, soda, or gels.
The sun always rises. The night always passes. And if you can keep your spirits up and keep moving, the finish line is that much closer.
Really, It Boils Down to Your Ability to Adapt
There’s just no way to sugarcoat it, running a 100-mile ultramarathon is going to hurt. There will be times that you want to drop out. Or punch your pacer. Or swear off running for the rest of your life.
Being a successful hundred-mile runner boils down to your ability to adapt to the tough conditions of the day, the stomach that flips out of nowhere, or the blister on your left foot.
Breathe. Assess the situation. And do whatever you have to do.
That’s where your hours and hours of training come in. They teach you how to handle the tough moments — and hopefully how to stay positive through them.
Because you know what? 100-mile ultramarathons are all about the mental game. And you control your mind.
So how bad do you really want it?

OnePlus 7: All of the rumors in a single place (Up to date Might 8)
OnePlus made a reputation for itself by creating smartphones with terrific specs which promote for a fraction of the price of different main flagships. The upcoming OnePlus 7 ought to proceed that pattern, however what’s going to it seem like? What are its specs? How a lot will it value? When will we see it?
Right here’s what we all know concerning the OnePlus 7 to date.
OnePlus 7: Identify and launch date
Give credit score to OnePlus: its naming conventions stay lifeless easy. Yearly since 2016, OnePlus has launched a numbered telephone adopted by a “T” variant nearer to the tip of the yr.

OnePlus in 2019: A pressure to be reckoned with
Whereas 2018 was a yr of hardships for a lot of smartphone producers, OnePlus was an anomaly. Not solely did it have nice smartphone gross sales, nevertheless it additionally achieved quite a lot of main milestones — all …
Whereas the numbered telephones are seen as true sequels, the T variants often embrace slight iterations and tweaks to these sequels. As a result of the latest OnePlus telephone is the OnePlus 6T, you’d assume that the subsequent telephone is the OnePlus 7. However the firm has since confirmed that it’ll be displaying off the “OnePlus 7 series,” particularly mentioning the OnePlus 7 Professional title too. So it certainly seems like there’ll be at the least two telephones on supply: an ordinary mannequin and a Professional variant.
As for a launch date, OnePlus has introduced a Might 14 launch occasion in New York, London, and Bangalore. The Chinese language launch occasion will happen on Might 16.
OnePlus 7: Specs and options
As with earlier OnePlus telephones, anticipate the OnePlus 7 to be a powerhouse of a smartphone. That probably means the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 processor, at the least 6GB of RAM, a giant battery, a giant show, and an improved in-display fingerprint sensor.
We’re additionally looking out for the standard OnePlus 7 and a Professional mannequin, with the latter confirmed by the model. It’s believed that the usual mannequin will supply two rear cameras, whereas the Professional machine is confirmed to supply three rear cameras. Wired has frolicked with the telephone too, revealing that it has a 3X zoom rear digicam. This isn’t as large a leap because the Huawei P30 Professional and its 5X periscope digicam, nevertheless it’s actually an enchancment on paper over 2X telephoto shooters.
Frustratingly, there are two options we received’t see on the OnePlus 7 — wi-fi charging and an IP ranking. Speaking with CNET, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau stated wi-fi charging isn’t as environment friendly or demanded sufficient by clients as quick wired charging. And, on the OnePlus official boards, Carl Pei confirmed neither the OnePlus 7 nor the OnePlus 7 Professional could have an IP ranking.
Even Apple jumped on the wi-fi charging bandwagon, however not OnePlus.
Lau has some extent on the subject of wi-fi charging — OnePlus’ Quick Cost customary takes the OnePlus 6T from zero to 60 p.c in 35 minutes. It’s going to take a while till wi-fi charging reaches these speeds.
Editor’s Choose
Greatest telephones with wi-fi charging capabilities in 2019
Telephones with wi-fi charging are cool. The expertise saves you the effort of coping with these pesky cables — simply drop it on a pad and watch every little thing mild up. Nevertheless, there are just a few …
Then once more, we’re seeing an growing variety of flagships with wi-fi charging capabilities. Even Apple jumped on the wi-fi charging bandwagon, beginning with the iPhone 8, iPhone Eight Plus, and iPhone X in 2017.
Carl Pei additionally has some extent about IP rankings and the way they’ll improve the price of the telephone — however followers are nonetheless pretty upset concerning the choice.
A function we’re much less sure about is 5G connectivity. Based on a OnePlus spokesperson, the corporate’s 5G telephone will kick off a brand new line of smartphones that will likely be separate from the OnePlus 7. Extra particularly, co-founder and CEO Pete Lau advised The Verge that the OnePlus 7 Professional will supply 5G connectivity. Nevertheless, it’s unclear as of but if there will likely be a Professional model with 5G and an extra model with out, or if the one Professional variant you will get would be the 5G mannequin.
A leak from April 17 posits that the OnePlus 7 Professional incorporates a Quad HD+ show with a 90Hz refresh charge, which was later confirmed. DisplayMate then bestowed an A+ ranking on the OnePlus 7 Professional display screen. OnePlus says this makes it “one of the best” smartphone screens round, though we’ll probably have to attend till launch to seek out out if it’s truly primary.
The telephone additionally reportedly incorporates a 4,000mAh battery with help for OnePlus’ 30-watt Warp Cost customary, USB 3.1, and a twin speaker setup. It’s going to additionally function UFS 3.zero storage, probably making it the primary machine to formally hit the market with the ultra-fast storage (the Samsung Galaxy Fold, sadly, probably received’t make it to retailer cabinets in time to beat the OnePlus 7 Professional).
OnePlus 7: Design
Pricebaba/Onleaks
OnePlus has already confirmed that a Professional mannequin is coming, with leaks and teases suggesting it’ll have a pop-up selfie digicam (seen above). The pop-up digicam may very well be OnePlus’ resolution towards constructing a virtually bezel-free show as a substitute of a slider mechanism.
It appears probably that OnePlus can even supply an ordinary mannequin that has extra in frequent with the OnePlus 6T. In truth, one leak exhibits what seems to be a OnePlus 7 with a waterdrop notch (seen beneath).
Pricebaba / @OnLeaks
A second leak of the vanilla OnePlus 7’s design additionally suggests the machine will primarily be a OnePlus 6T with some beefed-up specs:
The OnePlus 7 Professional was additionally noticed in Olixar’s case renders, which showcase a OnePlus telephone with a pop-up selfie digicam. The case renders additionally showcase three rear cameras and the retention of OnePlus’ signature alert slider on the correct.
We’ve additionally seen different leaks of the OnePlus 7 Professional which showcase the supposed coloration choices. Thus far, we’ve seen three colours leak: Almond, Nebula Blue, and Mirror Grey. Test them out beneath:
It’s very probably glass is used for the rear panel, with the fabric additionally current on the OnePlus 6 and 6T. Despite the fact that glass is far nicer to take a look at than aluminum, the previous will not be practically as immune to drops because the latter is.
OnePlus 7: Digital camera
WinFuture
We totally anticipate the OnePlus 7 Professional to function a triple-lensed rear digicam, whereas the vanilla OnePlus 7 could have a dual-lens setup, just like the OnePlus 6T.
OnePlus is clearly making the digicam on the OnePlus 7 Professional a precedence on the subject of advertising and marketing the machine, as we’ve already seen loads of photograph examples from the telephone. We already talked about how Wired examined out the Professional and its 3x zoom, for one. We additionally know that a canopy story for Harper’s Bazaar was shot utilizing the OnePlus 7 Professional. You’ll be able to see these photos beneath:
Based on Harper’s and OnePlus, these photos aren’t doctored in any approach.
Rumors level to the principle digicam sensor on each OnePlus 7 gadgets to be a 48MP sensor made by Sony.
OnePlus 7: Value
OnePlus is understood for gadgets with flagship specs at a lot cheaper price factors, so we are able to anticipate that philosophy to proceed with the OnePlus 7. That stated, we’ve seen the bottom mannequin price ticket improve with each iteration. Test it out:
OnePlus One — $299
OnePlus 2 — $329
OnePlus 3 — $399
OnePlus 3T — $439
OnePlus 5 — $479
OnePlus 5T — $499
OnePlus 6 — $529
OnePlus 6T — $549
Based mostly on these worth will increase, we are able to anticipate the OnePlus 7 to value at the least $569, possibly much more. We are able to positively anticipate the rumored Professional mannequin to supply an excellent increased price ticket.
