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.

The balancing act between training, health and family life continues as Chris trains for his first 100-mile ultramarathon in episode 5 of the 26 Miles. As the mileage increases, Chris is struggling to stay healthy while still increasing his running to 48 miles for the week. He also checks out the Hoka recovery sandals, gets the Sugtig GoPro light for recording in the dark, and starts testing Functional Formulas Anitvenom.

Bonehead is episode 3 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 3 of a 26 week of his training plan. Chris continues to increase his milage, hits the track for an interval workout, runs in Chino State Park and goes to the Trail Running Film Festival.
