@TheGingerRunner It’s about money, period. Money ruins the authenticity of all sports. Money is, most of all, the antithesis of ultra running. I get it, people want to make a living doing what they love, but it’s not the bulk of those who do the sport. Think of how much an Ironman costs?
@campbelladam79 Spent time with Mike on Denali a few years ago…was planning more guided trips with him. So sad. No question he was a special human being. 💔
@MountainRoche Paul Dewitt used to give me a progressive TM workout called the Kenyan Cutdown. 2 mile w/u then starting at 7mph, increasing speed 0.1mph per 0.25 mile. How far could you go until you fell off. He would also throw in a 5% every mile for 0.25 when training for mountain race
A great player does not always make a great coach. Once you figure out it’s not about you @DeionSanders you will have success as a coach. “The culture of any organization is shaped by the worst behavior the leader is willing to tolerate” Gruenert and Whitaker
@MountainRoche That is so impressive. The reason MC record stood for so long is because he was the only one to run those slopes. Well done! I remember Max King blasting out to Winfield, tried running up the backside of hope and bonked.
@MountainRoche What I think is interesting is that 1. This was your first hundred and Matt’s second, and 2. You both approached the race with dialed in and nutrition. Nutrition is what most people get wrong in 100s. What’s next?
@MountainRoche I was skeptical at Winfield because it seemed a little too quick. Many have paid dearly. But Wow. 🤯 Incredible performance! Congratulations! One for the ages.
@aidstationfireb I’m interested. However, Matt’s pace all the away back to Pb’ville is consistent. If David is losing time with 50k to go, it is not looking favorable. I am hopeful. 🤞
@aidstationfireb If they are still on CR pace at Twin Lakes inbound then I’m interested. I’ve seen lots of carnage on the way back. Nice to see the pace is hot with a bunch of runners!
@ajoneswilkins Nope. 15.42 is one of the greatest CR of all time. I think about the back side of Hope pass and how that crushes most everyone…except Matt.
@ajoneswilkins@joelrunsaround I still think it would be the most watched episode of your podcast. Both of you like to argue. If you didn’t care he blocked you, you wouldn’t be talking about it a year later.
@brady_h Ah, the reemergence of Creatine Phosphate. It was a popular ‘novel’ supplement in the 90s for body builders. I did my senior thesis on Creatine Monohydrate in endurance runners. Inconclusive.
