When is an ultra like a prize fight?
Video: The Ruby Muir story. Is that sped up are does she really descend that fast?
Nick Symmond’s track and field manifesto. I can’t think of anyone in MUT running who’s fighting for progress like NS is doing. Whether or not you agree with his tactics (ahem, beer and betting on track meets), he’s not afraid to take on the status quo.

Race report from a race in Tuscany on a trail formerly used by salt bandits. That’s him on the front page, too. Great pics!

Joe C and Roxanne Woodhouse took top honors at Dick Collins 50, while Igor Campos and Sally McRae won the Cuyamuca 100k in SoCal. Andy Prevost and Debbie Gibson grabbed top spots at Le Grizz 50 in Montana. New River Trail 50k results here. Who’s got more results?

Speaking of hills, this guy is planning on breaking the marathon record on Everest.
