Last week’s workouts saw my last LONG long run – 25 freakin’ miles. I can’t believe it’s taper time. I’m ready to get the race done. Training has been great but the long runs eat up too much weekend time. At this point, I’m not sure if I’ll be a 50k ‘one and done’ person. […]

Last week’s workouts were, thankfully, a recovery week. It couldn’t have come at a better time after the Vermont 100 on 100 Relay (FYI – still working on my recap. I’m soaking up the last days of summer break with my kiddos so there’s minimal computer time). My quads were shredded from all the ups […]

Last week’s workouts meant vacation was over. After 10 days of waking up without an alarm and running whenever I wanted, it was kind of a shock to the system. It’s time to get back to the grind of daily living and ultra training. Womp, womp, womp. Monday 40 minute Arc Trainer Strength Intervals 60 […]
