Tips/subs on โ coffee money keeps the miles & arrows flying
1/ Central NY dad of 3 training for the Green Lakes 100k in late August 2026.
62 miles of trails 20 min from my house.
Goal: finish strong + weigh in at 200 lbs race morning (Started October 2025 at 255 lbs)
Is it possible to CRUSH an easy 3 mile run? Thatโs how it felt today. Averaged 9:34 min/mile with an average hr of 145. Easily the fastest Iโve ever run over distance. Felt like I was gliding through the air. Thrilling to experience.
This was the first time that it felt like I was gliding through the air as I ran rather than struggling to make myself move. So excited to continue progressing.
This might not sound very impressive when compared to some elite runners, but as a normie training fort first ultra, this run felt super good and Iโm so proud of the progress Iโm making in my fitness.
Legs are tired from yesterdayโs long run, sick kids kept me up all night, and it snowed this morning. Still have to get the miles in. Gonna earn this one.

Headed home from Ann Arbor, MI. Got a couple good runs in, one of which on the beautiful Border to Border Trail. Loved my time here, happy to be headed home to CNY.
Finished up a 9 mile zone 2 run this morning in the Mount to Coast H1s. LOVING how these feel and perform. Bought a size 14 and that seems to be a touch too big. Problem is, all the 13s are sold out online! What to do?
Decided to change up my diet a little bit going forward now that Iโve dropped a lot of body fat. Stepping down my protein to around 200g per day and adding in some carbs. Will still be around 1600cals per day.
The Epstein files Iโve seen are truly horrific. I think it would be very easy for me to spiral down the doom hole if I let myself. But, I have a responsibility to take care of myself, my family, and my community in that order. Have to shift my focus to the things I can control.
