Running Vlog episode 8
Curious about how to train and run an ultra marathon? Welcome to my ultra running training VLOG - Episode 8. This series shows what it takes to run ultra marathon, providing you honest and uncensored details as I train and race for 100 miles ultra marathon every month for the third year. This is a 'behind the scene' view showing the imperfection but the reality of ultra running. This episode covers 2 weeks, including recovery from Quebec Mega Trail 100 miles, taper, and my latest ultra marathon - Tahoe Rim Trail 100 miles. We also did some trail running in King's Canyon National Park and Yosemite National Park!

That's it - it's summer racing. And my calendar is packed with races every 2 weeks. I got so excited about so many races that I overdid it a little.... So the cycles are short for training. The focus is on active recovery and tapering. Doing my best to come in healthy and uninjured. Almost anything else is secondary.
So tried cycling a lot. But also brining back some slow run very early. That turned out to be a mistake - I slightly aggravated tendinitis in my Achilles, which was an issue for Tahoe rim Trail. You live, you learn...
Next race is Angeles Crest 100 miles in California on August 3-4. Then Leadville 100 miles in Colorado, self-supported Tour du Mont-Blanc in Italy and Tor des Geants - 200 miles in the Italian Alps.
As always - Thanks for watching and remember -
Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits!
