Ultra Training Update #1

January 24, 2020 No Comments

New Year! Ultra Running Training Update Cold weather, cold showers, body composition changes, and a cold. Progress, perhaps not exactly at the level I want, but on every front i’m making progress. Re-wiring routines to influence behavior is a prococess. Often I read and see advice and motivational videos say do “X” get “Y” Results – this always misses the key compenent that underlies the process and is consequently where people experience the most failure in changing habits, diets, routines, and ultimately behavior. Between the path of x and y is a repeating cycle of will/intent vs old behavior it

Running Man Episode: 0

January 12, 2020 No Comments

Once upon a time in days long past I made a webcomic – before a meme was a meme, stumbleupon was all the rage, and before the fall of digg. Something I always loved, so Running Man is a webcomic that will loosely follow my experiences in running and life as I re-ignite that old love, no schedule as of yet. COMING SOON! Follow Me!

Ultra Training Week #1 2020

January 8, 2020 No Comments

24 Miles Ultra Training Update – Week It has been a great week for running in Colorado, nothing but sunshine where I am at, if not a bit windy, but I’ve managed to get 24 miles in the first week out.

Ultra Running Update – The New Year! The Plan.

January 2, 2020 No Comments

Happy New Year! More happy solstice for me as we’re back on track to warmer weather. There hasn’t been an update because my knee doesn’t agree with me just yet that this Ultra Running thing is a good idea so we’re still at the negotiation table. Instead, I’ve just been doing a lot of strength training of my legs and core, cold exposure, and research research research about physiology, nutrition, recovery, and running in general.

Ultra Running Week#2 Update: Behind The Scenes

December 15, 2019 No Comments

0 miles.

I decided that I should focus on getting the knee right and wanted to get a good chunk of the technical work done on the site. So I took the twofer. This site, all the graphics, the custom coding, the social media automation, etc is all some machination of open source projects, my skill, and useful/interesting interactions. So, for the curious I decided to open up the curtain a bit, talk about what is going on from the technical side of this project and some of those goals as that journey runs parallel with my physical journey.

As all of my projects I take a pretty fluid approach so the mechanics and scope can certainly change.
