Swiss Alps 100 Race Report
Swiss Alps 100 Race Report
I finished the Swiss Alps 100 in 29:03, 13th place in the most competitive year of the race to date. It was all I had hoped for and then some. The Hardrock 100 has the famous tagline: “Wild and Tough”. I’m giving the Swiss Alps 100, a Hardrock qualifier, the tagline “Scenic and

Old Dominion 100 Race Report
The Old Dominion 100 is the second oldest 100-miler. Despite it being in my backyard, my schedule has never worked out to run it. Well, the schedule wasn’t ideal this year either with Hellbender 4 weeks before, but on a whim I threw my name on a long wait list. I had forgotten a

2024 Tor des Geants Race Report
Tor is an unimaginably difficult race. It has around 85,000 feet of vert packed into 215 miles. Some sections are so steep and technical that it is hard to believe they would put 1,100+ runners on it. It is also an unimaginably beautiful race. I have been fort

Long-Term Goal Setting
Long-Term Goal Setting
I have been thinking a lot about goal setting since the Devil Dog 100K. The further removed I get from the race, the more I believe that it was the best race I have ever run. Many factors went into that day going so well, but setting the ambitious goal of breaking the 9:44 course record w

Optimizing Nutrition for Ultrarunning
Optimizing Nutrition for Ultrarunning
At least once a month, athletes I coach ask me about fasted running or low-carb nutrition products. My advice is that carbs are your friend. I firmly believe that the ability to consume calories and carbs in a race is a superpower and one of the most important things you can do to improve performanc
Unleashing Your Uphill Running Power
Unleashing Your Uphill Running Power
One of the most common questions I’m asked is how to improve uphill running. Often this comes with athletes wanting to incorporate lots of big vert to make them an uphill speed demon. Now take a seat and brace yourself for the big reveal: lots of slow uphill running does not make
Tor des Geants Training Log
Tor des Geants Training Log
Tor des Geants began in 2010 as a first-of-its-kind race. It was the first 200+ mile continuous race (vs. multi-day stage races). It circumnavigated one giant loop, touching the four 4,000 meter massifs (giants / geants) in Italy’s Aosta Valley - Mont Blanc, Gran Paradiso, Monte Rosa, and the Matter

HURT 100 Lessons Learned
In a break of tradition, I decided not to do a full race report for HURT. It is a beautiful event with a warm and vibrant community. However, a course with 5 laps that each contain loops and out-and-backs within the jungle rainforest may not make for exciting reading. T

This was the moment. The dragon had arrived, and it was FIERCE. People say that you start the Tor in a counter-clockwise direction, and a dragon starts clockwise. At some point, you will face your dragon. Will you make it through or will the dragon take you down? I called Jen and Christophe and told

107.6 miles 33,500 +- vertical feet Arriving in Chamonix felt like a return to the glory days. I was back in trail running paradise for the Superbowl of mountain ultras and my 3rd UTMB. I came to the start line fit, strong, and prepared after enlisting the help of Coach Damian Hall (5th place at
Hellbender 100 Race Report
Hellbender 100 Race Report
The Hellbender 100 began in 2018 as the “highest and hardest 100 miler on the East Coast.” It was clear from the start there was something special about this race. I had a great run the first year and struggled mightily in the second year before rallying in the last 30 miles. In addition to being my

Canyons 100M — Race Report
My intent for 2023 was to try some new races, and that left me looking for a 100-mile race in April / May with 20,000+ feet of vertical. The new 100-mile distance at Canyons was an intriguing option, featuring 24,000 feet of climbing, a taste of the Western States Trail, and a 4,000 foot n

Most years the Virginia Happy Trail Running Club gets a crew together for a destination race, and this year the club decided on the Bighorn Trail Runs in Wyoming. It was only 6 weeks after Hellbender, but I was overdue to join the “blue train” and signed up for the 100 without thinking too hard abou

2023 Terrapin Mountain 50K — Race Report
Terrapin Mountain 50K is one of my favorite races, and I returned this year for the fourth time in a row. Last year I felt fit leading in the race, executed perfectly, and managed to finish in 4:51, a PR and 2nd place. It seemed like a stretch to beat last years’ time,
