Sign showing "Lone Wolf Registration"
I signed up for the Lone Wolf South West Backyard Ultra again, and very much look forward to it. With proper footwear this time I should be able to do more than my 13 laps from last year.

2/2 It was a season’s best by nearly four seconds, a Masters PR by well over two, and a good reminder to keep going when your initial instinct is to call it quits.

Yep.

Have you ever tried making your own gels? This one’s a pineapple chia gel with electrolytes. #reducewaste #thegreenrunners #LeaveNoTrace #ultrarunning #trailrunning
Bare and brown farm field in early spring under blue skies swept with clouds.
Finished week one of a new training block with a beautiful 20k. Most of the snow was gone, blue skies, and all the birds were out. Nine more weeks until another crack at 80k. Grateful to be grinding.

❝I realised that every run doesn’t have to be the best run I’ve ever done. […] I trust that if I keep aiming for excellence, I’ll get there — just by dedicating myself to the practice.

Being a race volunteer is awesome. I did gave cookies to every kid who walked up and asked for one, as we were set up next to a playground.

Cover of the #JenniferPharrDavis book. THE PURSUIT OF ENDURANCE, showing a woman hiking up a hillside.
This book was reeeeally good. I just finished it and if you are into #hiking #running #trailrunning #ultrarunning, and GEESH, it was FUN!

Ultra runners question: what's the best post run foot salve/cream to use to keep you feet in good condition? Best pre-run routines to prevent blisters? Best socks? #running #ultrarunning
Turns out she was ever so slightly winding her old dad up! She knows well my aversion to early morning training and race starts, Apparently, the real start time is around 8:30am! I can't tell you how relieved I am. #ultrarunning #running
My daughter has signed me up for my first ultra. She has just casually told me that race start is 4am. I'm struggling with the concept, to be honest. 7am Ironman starts are pretty uncivilised, but 4am! 😝 #ultrarunning #running

❝Because when I cut out doing “the hard thing” I also rewire my brain to find everything harder. I create pathways of entitlement. And everything I have and get becomes tap water.

I don’t run for medals.
I run to find out what’s left when everything else is gone.
No gels. No shortcuts. Just miles, pain, and discipline.
This isn’t motivation…
This is who I am.
If you’re about that life — follow the journey.

I love videos like this one because they make phony influencer content look even phonier.

Thoughtful and thought-provoking as always.

25 lbs for 80 miles?! Leave it to ultrarunners to make an already difficult thing barely survivable.

❝I know this may sound strange, it’s an ultramarathon, you’re supposed to run…but this was 80 miles into a race carrying more than 25lbs on my back the entire time.

Ultra-runners; very interesting podcast about fuelling with Paul Booth of Salomon;
1. Start slow with carbs in long races
2. Gut issues often linked to dehydration
3. More carbs not always better (risks upsetting gut)
