Rain, Mushroom Rock, Suck Creek, and a muddy curtain call Day 3 showed up with personality. Dawn rain, fog clinging to the ridge, and a start line at Signal Mountain High School that felt like a track meet crashed by a rainforest. A big covered pavilion kept everyone dry while we swapped stories and stared…
Planning a race strategy for something like the Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race can feel a bit like trying to organize your entire life on one Google Sheet tab. The scale is absurd, the routine is relentless, and the course is so repetitive it makes a treadmill look spontaneous. Yet every year, a small group of…
Sloppy Floyd State Park served up everything I hoped for on a first visit: a calm lake in the middle of the course, a waterfall tucked into the hills, a climb with real bite, and that short, satisfying hop onto the Pinhoti before a fast run back to the bridge. The 2025 Twisted Ankle Half…
After months away from dirt and roots, toeing the line at the Oli Via Half Marathon felt like stepping into a group text where everyone speaks trail. Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga doesn’t do gentle reintroductions, it serves up climbs that light your quads on fire, descents that feel like a freefall, and a race atmosphere…
Running 100 miles pushes every part of the body to its limit, and your shoes take the brunt of the punishment. Over the course of a race this long, feet swell, blisters form, cushioning breaks down, and conditions shift from dry to muddy to wet. For many runners, the question is simple: do you stick…
There’s a quiet arrogance that creeps in when things are going well. You stack up finishes, nail your training blocks, and start to believe you’ve got the 100-mile formula cracked. That was me heading into the 2025 San Diego 100. Feeling bulletproof after five straight 100-mile finishes and a shiny 3rd-place at my last 50.…
David Goggins has a way of dividing a room. Half the audience calls him the ultimate blueprint for discipline; the other half says his approach belongs in a museum of psychological red flags. Either way, the numbers don’t flinch. His race results show a level of consistency and grit that cuts through the noise, and…
It was still dark when I lined up at the start of The Cove 50k, headlamp on, legs jittery. This was year two of a lesser-known ultra tucked into the mountains near Chickamauga, Georgia. Close enough to Tennessee and Alabama that you could probably curse in all three states from the summit. What followed was…
Well, folks, it finally happened. The world of ultra-trail running, where athletes voluntarily torture themselves by sprinting through mountains and deserts for fun, just got even more interesting. Sabrina Stanley, renowned for winning races most people wouldn’t even attempt on a dare, has become the first professional trail runner to sign a sponsorship deal with…
Some people like to spend their weekends brunching, sipping overpriced lattes, and pretending they don’t have emails to answer on Monday. Others prefer to wake up before the sun, run absurd distances, and question their life choices somewhere around mile 30. I fall into the latter category, which is how I ended up at a…
