Possibly the best April of #WS100 training I’ve ever had and type 2 fun. #DoubleBoston with the race in 2:46:43 then #DoubleBigSur today with a 2:49:06. Both times I faded around and rallied in the final miles (after 45 miles), which is really encouraging. #DoubleBoston2BigSur

Focusing on speed is paying off - new treadmill 5k PR of 15:53, over 1 min faster than before. Admittedly 5ks are not really my thing and they intimidate me more than 100 milers. Next up - a half marathon PR attempt. #TeamAltra @AltraRunning #zerolimits

Coughing, low energy, sore muscles, all in the early miles at Leadville. Stopped at mile 23 since there was clearly something wrong (seemed fine yesterday!). Getting COVID test now. Obvious decision to stop, but still incredibly hard after I poured my soul into preparing this yr.

Always useful to have multiple motivations at a 100 miler. So a year ago I realized I had a shot at being the first to complete 1,000 miles at @wser in under a week (ie 10 finishes avg 16h48m). That requires two more of these shiny things in 17h14m. #1000milesoneweek

Lesson in perspective - at 6am my taxi swerved on the freeway to avoid a car roll in front of us and smash into a barrier at 70mph. Just a foot or two from maybe dying (I can only guess the other driver died, but hope not). So I’m in shock and dropped from @lamarathon . Be safe!

Consistent training is largely about getting out the door when you don’t want to. Like today, despite beautiful weather and only 4 weeks til my next 💯 miler, I just felt unmotivated. So I committed to the first mile, added in a tiny detour down to the river and things improved.

Cheesy smile since I’m very happy my legs went quicker than expected at the hilly #PasadenaHalfMarathon . Was hoping for around 1:18 but didn’t expect it, then got 1:16 for 6th. Feeling like my fitness is almost back, just in time for #RockyRacoon100 #RR100 . #spAltra #TeamAltra

Thanks @irunfar for doing what you always do - provide amazing coverage in a niche sport. Just catching up now after days off the grid.

It’s the days when you don’t want to get out the door that make the difference to fitness. Anyone can run well on the fun days.
