The unfeasibly strong cider is kicking in here at Swanage folk festival. Had a swim in the sea with the dogs. Quality tapering for the next #ultramarathon 😂

So, not race fit then🫤
Rib injury
65 mile fastpack outing
Stinking cold/man-flu.
Several early starts for work/disturbed sleep. #trailrunning #ultramarathon training #running

Training has been a bit erratic after falling and cracking my ribs five weeks ago but I managed a long outing last weekend round the Isle of Wight. Now hopefully I’ll stay upright and get a good block of 10 days #trailrunning in now before tapering for the CW50 #UltraMarathon in September.

This is the closest I’ve been to running 4,000 miles in a 365 day period. It probably won’t happen with my plan and I’m not going to force it. But pretty fun to see. So close and yet so far.

Seven years ago, I finish my first 200+ mile race. Unfortunately, I have not improved my decision making skills. There have been 5 more finishes over that distance...and one DNF. I also have tons of bad ideas to carry me into the next decade.

Irgendwie in einer verrückten Läuferbubble gelandet, wo man sich spontan zu 42km-Läufchen inklusive 1300 Höhenmetern verabredet und wo man im Schnitt mehr als 10km pro Tag laufen muss, um überhaupt bei den Wochenkilometern vorne dabei sein zu können. Völlig crazy! Ich mag das. 🙈

Yesterday: a little over 30 miles with 7,300 feet of gain.

Today’s menu: just about 39 miles and 8,000k of gain with some of it on the Grindstone course….And drink all the water.

LFG!

I just took a two day ass kicking at work that included an interview for a promotion. I am mentally exhausted. Thankfully it is time for my second training camp leading into the Grindstone 100. So looking forward to just running. 17 hours on trail in the next 3 days. LFG!

I had a 5 hour run schedule for Saturday and it started sucking 20 minutes in. I never got into a groove and spent then entire run negotiating with myself. I ran for 4:45 minutes. I wanted to quit more than I did at any point during the Cocodona 250. I have no idea why it sucked, but it sucked. Somedays are like that. Others are glorious.

Halfway through my run yesterday, I figured out that I had two small holes in my hydration bladder and I had lost a liter of water. It was so humid and I was so sweaty I didn't notice the liter of water that had dripped down my backside. I need off the east coast.

Saw an article pop up titled "10 Secrets of Courtney Dauwalter's Success" and I am not clicking on it because I fear it will miss what should be point #1: She is Courtney F'N Dauwalter.

A little speed work this morning. The temps are magically down to 63° after last weeks hell. Took advantage and tried to bring some smoke. More intensity than needed, but sometimes you got to let it rip.

Garmin Vivoactive 4, 24/7 except backed up with a Vivosport when it's charging. But the furthest I've run is a half marathon

Curious:

What’s your running watch of choice? Are you wearing it 24/7 or just when you run?

Claire Bannwarth winning the Tahoe 200 a week after finishing 5th female at the Hardrock 100 is just next level insanity. Add to that she didn’t have a crew.

I just signed up for my first 50k #ultramarathon in October 🏃🏻‍♂️

🗺️ https://fatmap.com/routeid/3032044/ladybower-50k-ultra

I would love to hear *any* advice on preparing for this (training, kit, anything!). I do #trailrunning already (usually 40-60k a week), just never that distance yet (furthest 35k).

Paging @recollir, @moelholm, @olavur and any other #trailrunning #running folk here for lots of input plz :)

Training camp update: I’m really tired y’all. Anyone want to wear my GPS and get this thing done for me?

May freak some other local out when I take a dirt nap on the local lake trail 😂

Proud to be one of 10 trail runners that completed the fabulous inaugural Tjørnuvík-Tórshavn mountain ultra marathon (50k) today. Started out 7am in thick and wet fog in Tjørnuvík and went over the mountains to Hvalvík, and after that the skies got ever more blue as we approached Tórshavn. Other runners did parts of the route. Very likely doing it again one of the days 22-26 July 2024 #mountainTrail #trail #trailRunning #mountains #running #nature #FaroeIslands #ultraMarathon #ultraTrail

All I have to do is survive today at work and I get a monstrous training weekend in the mountains. This will be the first of 2 big training camps in preparation for the Grindstone 100M in September. These training camps have been so huge in how I have preformed this last year or so.
