Zone 2 run when it's 30C, Humidex 36, means that to keep my HR below 70% max, I cannot outrun the mosquitoes!

Itchy, itchy, scratchy, scratchy! Ew! I've got one down my back-y! 🎵

Very itchy slow cat shuffle!

The Dalewood Disaster has concluded. 43km in 30°C heat in 7:38. 4 loops, 4 15-minute stops at the Water Works splash pad to cool down and recover. My nutrition and hydration were dialled in, my gear was right, and the slow pace got Kelly and I through the heat. Incredibly stupid, incredibly fun. #trailrunning #ultratraining #queerswhorun

Friends, if you sled pull half the crew on a trail run on Saturday, you better be sure you're sled pulling the other half of the crew on a trail run on Sunday.

Recovery run on pavement today and my legs were confused!

Should have tensed before taking the photo! 😆

What’s that on your arm? A Continuous Glucose Monitor, or CGM.

Are you diabetic? I don’t think so, my bloods always come back good. 🙂

So why are you wearing one? Let me explain…

Last long run done. The race is a week from tomorrow. I think I'm ready to run 60k in the Arizona desert. #blackcanyon60k #ultratraining #trailrunning

I enjoyed a lovely run up Little Si and Mt Si today. I woke up tired and grumbly, but my wife knew best and told me I’d feel better on the trails. And I did! #running #trails #training #ultratraining

My final long run is complete! I spent six hours today trying not to get destroyed by the Arizona sun at Saguaro Park East. My goal was to stay at my race pace, which I accomplished. I made it to marathon distance. A 50K was within reach, and I was on pace to get a 75 minute PR for the distance, but it would have been greedy and unwise. I’m proud of how I’ve trained for this upcoming race, and I’m ready to enjoy two weeks of taper! #trailrunning #ultratraining

Today I ran the Bear Creek Loop in Arizona's Pusch Ridge Wilderness. 18 miles, 3,000 feet of climb (and descent), 10 recently-flooded water crossings (including two that went up to my hips), 5 hours 53 minutes.

Incredible views, a howl in the wilderness, ice in the sun, the Arizona Trail, a helicopter fly-by, switchbacks forever, no shortcuts. An absolute blast.

A sloppy half marathon to start the year. #running #trailrunning #ultratraining

A nice day for some icy hill repeats! #running #trailrunning #ultratraining

Conditions outside are too cold and windy for me to want to run much, to say nothing of the monster drifts of powder that would turn things into a slog right away. And yet, I have my first 60km race in less than two months, so training is essential. Thankfully my coach gave me only two easy 1hr runs this weekend, which are simple enough to tackle with #Zwift and my treadmill. #running #ultratraining

A dreary late morning start to my 4-hour run concluded with a delightful early afternoon snow squall. 26 easy kilometres in the bank, with enough energy preserved for another 4 hours tomorrow. #trailrunning #running #ultratraining

I’m doing 5 ultras in 2023 to help support the Trussell Trust. They do sterling work across the UK to help people who can’t afford to feed themselves and their family, which is especially important during this cost of living crisis, and they’ll need all the help they can get.
If you can, please help out via the link in my bio.

The past few days have been unseasonably warm and it feels like spring. But it will be six months before these branches are covered in pink blossoms. Savouring every moment of sunlight! #GetOutside #SeenOnMyRun #UltraTraining

Last Friday for speed work, I had to open then vents on my jacket because I was warm!

Today, I am digging out my ice spikes and snow pants.

"Run fast or freeze"!

What fun did you all get up to today?

44 weeks out from #UTHC80
Training has begun! I have the next 35 weeks printed and on the wall, lots of base, a few spring races, a marathon or a 50k, all leading to the big training block in the summer, and 80km through the Malbaie region of Quebec in September! So excited! Love the anticipation! #UltraTraining #UltraRunning #AllAboutTheBase #LetsFuckingGo
