Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us! I'm not there yet, but would like to be. (the longest I've run is 50K) I just received your book a week ago and look forward to reading and gaining more knowledge about Ultras.

Alright you’ve got me. Looking for spring early summer ultra and getting your book when I get off this work travel week gig. Any suggestions in the north east?

Thanks for giving us an inside look into ultra training. My longest race was the AR50 miler some time ago; I’ll leave the 100s to you! The best advice I got was doing back-to-back long runs which felt brutal at first but gradually became a way of life. And I always met the ultra training goal: tired legs!

That “How Run 100 Miles” video is one of my all time favorites, I try and watch it annually. Have a blast at Run Rabbit Run. I’ve personally found that the races that I over plan I do the worst and am frustrated by. The more I let go and treat it as an adventure into the unknown, taking what the day gives me, things seem to flow much better. This years training for the Bear 100 seems to be stronger than last years IMTUF training, so I’d love to have a time closer to 30 hours as opposed to 35 hours, but who knows how it will all unfold.

New light...hmmm. I know youre a UD fan but you should borrow a UA belt light. It’s a really great tactical tool and RRR as you know is rife with trip hazards. Game changer in my opinion
