This is the premiere episode of my ultra marathon training for the Beyond Limits Ultra in Mountain Center, CA on April 4-7, 2019. Over the next 26 weeks leading up to the race and during the race I will video my training life to try to show what it takes to make it to the starting line of an ultra marathon and hopefully complete 100 mile in less than 36 hours.

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 8
It’s week 8 in Chris’ training to run 100 miles at the Beyond Limits Ultra in April and finally, he realizes he needs a deload/recovery week. He is paying the price after building for zero to 20 miles in just 7 weeks as he battles Achilles pain in both legs. Luckily a light week of training filled with rest, rolling and stretching allows his body to heal enough to enjoy running in Reck Rock Canyon and the Strip in Las Vegas, NV.
