Does the anniversary of my boyfriend’s girlfriend LinkedIn messaging me when she found out to make sure I also found out go on my social media content calendar or am I just supposed to remember that one on my own

No secrets. After the Leadville 100 record, maybe being an open book about my experience can help us understand a bit more about what humans can do in ultras. If I’m running 15:26, there is someone out there right now who will run sub-14:45, and people who couldn’t dream of 100 miles who will achieve a transcendent finish.

Here’s a no-secrets rundown:

Training: I stacked aerobic bricks for 18 years, and it took those years of hard work for some commentators who haven’t been following on Strava to view me as an overnight success. This one is for the brick-stackers.

Other training elements: lower volume for ultra, fast hill strides 3-4 times per week at end of runs (including day before race), uphill treadmill 20% for 10-15 min after most runs (not on Strava), big uphill TM threshold and Z2 sessions, building bike fitness via Zwift racing and outside Z2, steady/moderate running after speed/hill workouts (inspired by Mike Smith at NAU), downhill vert consolidated in final few weeks to harness the repeated bout effect, long runs with tempo

Recovery: Vega protein shakes (aiming for 100+ g protein daily), tons of food, stretching, Roll Recovery, hot tub 3-5x per week for blood volume (including race week)

Strength: Mountain Legs routine, squats (2 x 10 at 135lb) 2x per week, back extensions, “Core Snack” 2x per day

Supplements: AG1 (yeah, I said it 😂), First Endurance Multi-V 2x per week (single gene variant carrier for Hemochromatosis = some iron, but not too much), Momentous Ashwagandha and Omega 3s, Turmeric, post exercise Ketone IQ 3-5 times per week, sodium bicarb 12.5 before hard workouts (all NSF Safe For Sport)

Fueling: 90-120 g/hr high carb on hard efforts (up to 150 on Zwift races) + caffeine, Precision 1000 tabs in all bottles, sometimes lower carb on easy training. Some Tylenol for race—please don’t do this, just want to truly have no secrets (search GlobalDRO for all medications)

Gear: double belt with Janji built-in belt liner + Naked belt to carry all calories/liquid without pack, Adidas ASU supershoes, Coros Arm Band HR, inadequate lubrication (don’t ask), Chappel Roan playing in head (so hot to go)

All questions welcome 🧡 THANK YOU ALL!

As a society we haven’t spent enough time fully unpacking the decision to rhyme “Vermont” with “your mom”

Gonna start leaving Goodreads reviews that are just how many pages it took before the romance author mentioned the male main character’s forearms

Personally if that were the ingredient I’d chosen I would simply not lead with it in advertising

I think we should stop pretending quiet luxury is a thing and just admit the truth: people want to wear natural fibers.
