Well..... for the first time in 32 years of running races I started a race and couldn't finish it!! The course was super brutal. Only 9 people were able to complete the course out of 40. I dropped out at 42 miles right on the time cutoff. I love challenges and this one proved to be too...

Nice!! For last minute cramming before a race if you haven't been training, I have always heard that 20-30 minute runs each day (within 2 weeks of the race) is the most beneficial for race day. ?????

Sweet!!!

I ran my normal 16 yesterday and will do it again next weekend. The race is on the 28th. My mind is ready for the journey.;)

Yes. In the 100 mile races I try to have 3 people pace me. That way they each get to experience 15-20 miles and it has always resulted in them running an ultra marathon of their own later. As a pacer, it opens up your eyes as to what is possible if you want something bad enough. Running a...

Is that because of the heat or are the folks that live around you always house bound? Are you considered the crazy guy that walks outside everyday?!!!

My race is September 28th. 10 am start with 36 hours to finish. The race is called Mogollon Monster 100. I will give you a race report when I wake up from my coma afterwards!!! Thanks for asking.

The trail I normally take is the Bright Angel on the South Rim. You hit the Colorado River after just shy of 8 miles (about 5 thousand feet down). 16 mile round trip is my normal once a week run. I have gone to the river and back around 130 times so far. To run to the other side and back...

I am personally not a minimalist fan. If your bones and joints are genetically superior, then it might work for some. I think that everybody just read the Born to Run book and went minimal. Walking on the beach barefoot or around town in the toe shoes does strengthen your lower legs and feet...

I have run all of my life. When I was in fifth grade I was able to run 20 miles in a day. In high school I ran many marathons (sub 3 hours) and ran my first 50 mile race. I have always just really enjoyed being out in the woods covering as much terrain as possible in the most efficient way...

I ran a long race up in Oregon this past weekend. It was a 100k race but there was a small fire on the course so we ended up running 3 miles extra (65 miles total). 11 thousand feet of climbing and 11 thousand feet of downhill. Almost entirely single track trail running through the woods...
