So it appears to us that people are quite excited about our new event in Valemount in July. We've somehow sold over 100 room nights in town already and no one has an entry into the race yet so I guess what I'm saying is we're thinking this thing might just sell out here on Fri we go live 7am PST

What matters in training for marathoners

New analysis of 100k+ runners

Faster runners:
-Accumulated 3x the volume of slower runners
-Had proportionally more easy running. Higher intensity proportion about the same.

As my HS coach told me years ago, step 1 is figuring out how to run more...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gratitude is an important & oft neglected tool.

Our brain gets bombarded with negativity, outrage, and fear.

Expressing what you're thankful for is a small counter to that, providing evidence that your brain doesn't need to be on threat mode all the time.

My wife and I are at the age where we wake up, drink coffee and just continuously clear our throats for 45 mins.

A 1975 photo of Dougal Haston (left) and Doug Scott (right) - who that year became the first Britons to have summited Everest. In the center is Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, who was the first to have summited (together with Sir Ed Hillary) in 1953.
