Looking for a 100-mile Ultramarathon training plan to use as a baseline? Look no further, below you can find a basic, intermediate plan to achieve completion of your 1st 100-mile event. This program assumes that you have at least completed a marathon or multiple half marathons and feel comfortable with those distances. You will expect to start the weekly mileage …
This morning I just went for a long run. Normally I run with a group that keeps the conversation going, but today I went solo. During those runs, I normally listen to music or podcasts to keep me entertained during the many hours I might be out there. If running on a treadmill, normally the go-to is a TV show …
I think the insanity has spread all over the town. Today was the signup event for the Umstead 100 Ultramarathon event. It is pretty exciting as the event has limited spots available, and many runners like to use this event as their first 50, 100 events. Like it was for me back in 2019. Their signing process works by releasing …
I have been running for a little while now, which means I have been logging my miles in a log and tracking the mileage for the running shoes I am using. Hopefully, you are too.

I have to say, that I do not envy all the people that do live radio/podcasts. One thing is just talking with others about running, or during a group run, but having it broadcast live and …
Last year in May I was fortunate to be part of a Health UNC Study about diabetes and exercise. They were looking for volunteers to take on a multi-week test in which they were going to take different body and health measurements, analyses, and data during a series of specific exercises. The first thing they asked me to do was …
Early this year I decided to add other types of workouts to my training regimen. Including a little bit more strength training. Looking for options to make it easy for me to learn and add different approaches and types of exercises and workouts I took some time to try and use the NTC (Nike Training Club) app. This app is …
Last year after bouncing from almost race less 2020 I decided to take the time opportunity and tried the Half Marathon plan from the NRC (Nike Running Club) app. I have used the NRC app in the past for individual runs. The app provides the runners with tailored timed runs in which a coach or running voice partner will provide …
I love to try different mobile fitness running apps and other tools that can help me move out from the monotony of running or learn new ways to tackle health, workouts, and learn concepts about running. Late last year I had the opportunity to try out a new running app, Running. From the makers of DownDog yoga App, one of …
