26 Weeks – Episode 0
I’m back and I have a lofty goal! Today starts 26 weeks of training for the Beyond Limits Ultra (BLU) which takes place the first week of April near Idyllwild, CA. I will race in the 72 hour run on a loop trail course to see how many miles I can run. My hope is to run 100 miles in the first 36 hours to prove to myself that I am ready for a true 100 mile ultra.

26 Weeks – Episode 7
It’s Thanksgiving week in the US this episode, which means there is a ton of food everywhere you look. Only saving grace is we are training for an ultramarathon so we are burning a ton of calories. This week Chris hits his longest run with a one-way trip to the beach but hits a speed bump along the way. The quick mileage increase over the last seven weeks may have finally caught up to him.

26 Weeks – Episode 4
Trying the Hoka is episode 4 in the 26 Miles docuseries which follows Chris as he trains to run 100 miles in his first ultramarathon at the Beyond Limits Ultra in Mountain Center, CA on April 4th, 2019. This is week 4 of a 26 week of his training plan. Chris continues to increase his mileage, buys a pair of Hoka Speed Goat 2 trail running shoes, hits Powder Canyon and the Santa Ana River trail for some long miles.
