    Post Wasatch 100 Summary

    Some of the lessons I learned at 9 years thousand plus feet up in the Wasatch range. The power of the mind to work for or against us in accomplishing the tasks before us.

    And so it begins. The starting line

    Just a quick check in before I load up to ride to the start of my 1st 100 mile run. Also, my first official ultra race.

    Socks & Shoes

    Getting to the foundation of running must include a discussion about socks and shoes. This is an area where it is important to do some research and try a few different approaches in my opinion.

  4. Audio or no audio? That is the question.

    Audio or no audio? That is the question.

    A brief history of audio options on the run tells us it is easier than ever to listen on the road or trail. However, just because we can may not mean we should have our headphones on (at least not all the time).

    Box? What box?!?

    Don’t just think outside the box but realize there is no box. Sometimes looking to others for every plan, process, example can be limiting. Our only real limits are those we set for ourselves whether consciously or unconsciously.

    The Power of Pain

    Pain is a great educator. It is however important to have a beneficial relationship with pain. Here I share a few stories and examples that have helped me to do just that.

  7. Lighten the Load

    Lighten the Load

    Just as I don’t want any extra weight along with me on my 100 mile run, we will be able to enjoy life more fully if we cut loose what we don’t need.

    Standing at the starting line.

    Rather than find a perfect format and start like a pro I am jumping in with raw enthusiasm. So I will introduce myself, give you a little background and we will see how far we can take it together. I am training to run my first 100 mile race and I am confident there are at least 100 different lessons I have learned or will learn along the way. I look forward to feedback, tips, tricks and stories from listeners if you are willing to share.
