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 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.
