Oof! Hearing that Ourea Events (organisers of #DragonsBackRace and #CapeWrathUltra) have gone bust, just two weeks out from #northernTraverse. Very sad. #trailRunning #ultrarunning

Il Sottotilo la dice lunga: non è una gara è solo una corsa, piano piano sto aggiornando i dettagli di questa semplice corsa.

Over on IG I just saw a challenge in the land of down under. Run 1km extra everyday until last one standing. They had 300 starting off, today - day 68 - they got 3 left. Which means tomorrow they have to run 69km after today's 68km ...

Published the episode 2 of my ZUT100k and Pitztal 100k training series. This is about my training strategy.
Trying a bit differnt approach to vides. Insted of traing to jam runnign and talking into one video, just focus on one.
Feedback helps to learn. Thank you for folks who took the time to give feedback on the previous episode! ❤️

#trailrunning #running #ultrarunning
Dear Mastodon #ultrarunning people,
my lessons learned from last year's races was that I didn't train enough on hills. I also didn't train my gut to accept gels.
My thoughts on how to adjust my trainign for this season ar:
* I'll train per time on feet vs. distance
* I'll do my long runs on trails with some elevation.
* Train to eat gels on long runs and mountain runs.
* Head to the mountains more often, have cumulative fatigue on feet before long runs and mountian runs.
..
Had a moment of weakness and registered for an 80k trail ultra in half a year.
Have been racking up kilometers lately to try getting back in ultra shape... Half a year is a long time. Right? Should be doable. Right?
At the Monterey Ultra start line.
Trail de la Sibérie 100miles.
The first night was rainy with lots of mud. I kept my pace slow to preserve energy.
The rain stopped around dawn, to return as a drizzle later. There was more mud. I pushed myself a bit too hard, but then switched focus to getting it done.
The second night was tough, as expected. I had the support of Delphine and Sébastien. We met on the trail. The 3 of us worked through night and mud towards the finish line.
A great day out!

I love tools like Ultrapacer, but I wanted a DIY alternative. So I built gpx-pacer. Not a full replacement. This is for runners who prefer DIY, the command line, Excel. and no subscriptions.
I heard from my healthcare provider that I have an #AutoimmuneDisease
I have a lot of learning ahead of me but my #UltraRunning and #DailyYoga and #WearAMask lifestyle have me on the right track! Protecting my health fiercely has been the right approach all along!
✅ Kullamannen by UTMB 2025 | 100 Miles
Second Kullamannen 100 miler completed (2024+2025) 👏🏻🥳. This one had 100m less vert but was 10K+ longer (~173K). I am super happy to have completed it 🥳 - and no injuries.
It was a hate/love experience: hard as I entered a terminal “cannot-run-anymore” state after 100K 😂. 50%+ DNF tells a story 🥵. Lovely day hours : wonderful nature 🤩

Training begins! 🏔️
I’ve signed up to trek Mount Toubkal in May 2026 — North Africa’s highest peak — to raise funds for Arthur Rank Hospice, who supported our family with incredible care and counselling.
I’ve just made my first donation — now the real work begins.

The problem with ultra running is that I'm constantly eating and somehow am still hungry. Other long-distance runners, how are you getting enough calories day-to-day? Not during a run or specifically carb loading #running #ultrarunning #trailrunning
2026 Running
I think it is difficult to plan ahead. But I need to start thinking about it so I can grab tickets before they sell out.
I am struggling a bit with finding out what to focus on when. I want long trail adventures. And then also I like Backyard Ultras. And flat road hour events (like 12H). And half marathons and maybe even marathons (never tried that for real; as it has really been hilly trail marathons).
Its just so difficult to choose 😅

Has anyone here run either the North Fork 50K or 50M race?
https://www.aravaiparunning.com/bear-chase-series/north-fork-ultras/
Welp. After all the struggling to stay engaged and train for an upcoming 50K, I may not be able to afford the trip. Property taxes rose by just enough to put it at risk.
Now I’m wondering if I should do a virtual effort on the day, or what? I don’t know. Blech.

It’s mind boggling that David Roche has a hard time arranging sponsorships w/ big brands. Huh?!
Another great installment from Roche‘s train-up for Western States 100, including interesting information about eccentric contraction adaptations:

👏🏻100+ Road ish run | LNBK Ringkøbing Fjord Winter Edition 2025
7th of 34 finishers (40+ starters). Some were still out there 2h30m after I finished. I am home again - legs are busted. Proud with the result.
The finishers before me were very good 🤯 - kept up with most of them the first 30+ ish but had to fallback; the pace wasn’t sustainable for me. 10K before the finish line I passed 1 of them (gone cold).

Breaking news: mozart 100 by UTMB 🤠🤭
I decided that I will visit Austria 🇦🇹 in June and take on the longest mozart 100 by UTMB challenge.
It will be totally alone. Just like my first “by UTMB” race in Croatia 🇭🇷 some almost 2 years back. I would love to bring my family … but it’s not super practical in terms of vacation days and economy. So alone it is (slightly nervous in a good way… excited is probably a better expression).

In case you're wondering how wildly, hilariously petty someone in an extremely niche sport can be, ultrarunner Camille Herron and her husband have been implicated in--of all things--fluffing her Wikipedia page while simultaneously editing the pages of other top runners to diminish their achievements. You can't make this stuff up. Absolutely popcorn-worthy reading even if you don't care about the sport.
