The 2018 #UTMB demonstrated several truths on ultrarunning. 1- the sport is very hard to get right, particulay at the highest level 2- sportsmanship is still alive 3- a pound of bravado is best served with a pinch of humility 4- sometimes nothing goes right, but you forge on

I have taken on a few athletes from other coaches recently and their old coach has either deleted their entire training history and/or the workout comments. Is this common? We have always treated the athlete's training like a medical record. The athlete owns it in its entirety.

How aging ultrarunners can still get faster beyond their 40's. 1⃣Focus on protein amount (~2.5 g/kg/day), timing (20g every 3-4 hr) & quality 2⃣focus less on volume 3⃣intensity can be spread out and more focus on VO2max work 4⃣heavy strength training💪

How Aging Ultrarunners Can Get Faster in Their 40s, 50s, and 60's

Experience, resilience, and other factors matter so much in ultrarunning that despite physiological declines, ultrarunners can get faster after 40 and 50.
