Ethiopian Olympic Marathon Drama and Cocodona 250 has started.
May 04, 2021 08:49 - 11 minutes - 5.6 MBEthiopia has a 35k to pick their Olympic marathon on Saturday and on Monday they say “not too fast”. The Cocodona 250 mile starts on Monday and athletes are “surprised” by the heat. Hello it’s Arizona! It’s not just the heat it’s the constant sun exposure. Plus a lot of climbing in the first 50k. https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON

Birthdays, Empty Nests and Hamlet Again
May 04, 2021 08:13 - 7 minutes - 6.9 MBWhy are birthdays a thing? I prefer Carolla’s Achievement Day instead. On top of birthday musings, add on a dollop of coaching empty nest and the annual start of another trip around the sun is rather dour. But at least the old to run or not to run questions is back especially since I am looking at 4 months of 70 plus mile weeks if I hope to do another Double crossing of the Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee. https://linktr.ee/AND3RSON

May 04, 2021 08:12 - 11 minutes - 11 MBDay 2 of the Great Virtual Race Across Tennessee was a solo one on the bike path with plenty of urban outdoorsmen. Many athletes would also go out for late afternoon excursions on the roads, squeezing in a few extra easy kilometres. This loose planning was something that really struck us during our time with the group. Their typical schedule included workout sessions on Tuesday (track), Thursday (long run) and Saturday (fartlek/intervals). Many of the athletes are devoutly religious, hence —...

April 30, 2021 16:39 - 5 minutes - 5.32 MBThe most important person in the history of American distance running is, ironically, someone who is famous because of walking. Before Jeff was a guiding light for the masses, he was every bit the elite runner — an Olympian and US record holder for the 10 mile run. But lots of people have been Olympians and US record holders. To start, he pioneered the idea of a “specialty” running store. Don’t shop at running stores? Do you enjoy big spectacle races — the kind that bring together elite a...

Ethiopia is having their Olympic Marathon trials this weekend and their GOAT Kenenisa Bekele isn’t happy and won’t be competing. They are going with the top 3 make the team by KB and the 3rd and 10th fastest marathoners of all time won’t be at the starting line. They are fit but believe the race was too last minute and too close to Tokyo. Good news for college track and field ...

What You Need to Know About the Barkley Marathons
April 29, 2021 22:36 - 12 minutes - 11.1 MBThe Barkley Marathons is one the hardest races in the ultrarunning world. Created by founder Gary “Lazarus Lake” Cantrell, the race provides one of the most grueling ultramarathons ever created. The Barkley Marathons has gained in popularity over the past few years, mostly because of new documentaries and stories that take you inside the race weekend. One of the most popular is The Race That Eats Its Young, which came out in 2014. Another new film, titled Where Dreams Go to Die, documents t...
Did Kilian Summit Everest?
April 29, 2021 22:33 - 7 minutes - 7.3 MBTrail running is fun and all but access is limited in training and racing. So I don’t think it is that competitive compared to track and road racing. When Jornet announced he was going for Kouros’s 24 Hour World Record, I accurately predicted he would fail. And he did. This lead me to look at his most famous and some say most infamous feat: His Everest summit(s). I did some half assed Internet research and watched “Path to Everest” and made this video. #kilianJornet #everest #mountainru...

Kilian Jornet STOPPED Earlier than I PREDICTED / 24 Hour
April 28, 2021 16:48 - 16 minutes - 15.1 MBKilian Jornet has dropped out, shortly after passing the 11-hour mark and 134.8 kilometres. Jornet had actually left the track sometime before this, but those following the attempt were hopeful he would be able to return and make up for lost time. The announcers said that Jornet had ended the record attempt, that he had been experiencing extreme dizziness and was advised by his doctor to stop the attempt. The record, set by Greek ultrarunning legend Yiannis Kouros in 1997, is 188.5 miles o...

Des Linden Gets Her 1st World Record, Runs 50K World Best of 2:59:54
April 16, 2021 15:56 - 35 minutes - 32.5 MBEntering today’s Brooks Running 50K and Marathon in rural Oregon, American Des Linden — and just about everyone else — expected herself to break the 50K world best of 3:07:20 set by Great Britain’s Aly Dixon in 2019. Besting the mark would require Linden to average just under 6:02 per mile — or 2:38:05 for a marathon plus another five miles — well within the capabilities of Linden, a 2:22:38 marathoner (Dixon’s best in 17 marathons is 2:29:06).

April 09, 2021 04:31 - 7 minutes - 7 MBWe invite individual runners and runners with burros to compete on a challenging course in the canyons of the southern Sierra Nevada. Let’s get one thing straight right away. Burro is the Spanish word for donkey, which is the same as an ass. All three words have identical meaning. The jokes write themselves, but ass is a completely proper word not to be avoided. Burro races are a long tradition in the mining community. Locally, Randsburg, Lone Pine, Death Valley, and Beatty have had burro...
