Trail and Ultra News, Tue, Feb 9

Trail and Ultra News from Around the World

Quick interview with Joe Grant about what it’s like being a professional ultra runner.

Read this: Sarah’s report from her first 50k of the year.  Nice work!

Update on the mountain lion story from yesterday: Yeah, it was bogus.

This guy died in the Krispy Kreme Challenge.

I’ve been doing internal reviews for tents over the past year (most recently this past Friday) and one thing I keep coming back to is this: I don’t care what they look like from the outside.  But please, please make it perfectly clear for a person in the pitch dark to determine which posts go into which grommets.

It’s Tuesday, which means we’re visiting Guillaume on the trails in some exotic location. Today, it’s on the Picos de Europa in Spain. Trail running through tunnels? Yes!

Brian returns to the Headlands for a trail run and makes airplane arms on the way down. Glad I’m not the only one who does that when he’s happy.

If you’re not subscribed to Mario’s Morning Shakeout, you should be. What do you think about his comments about subscription-based content?

Short news day.  One podcast to release, and two to prepare for.
