Ultramarathon and Trail Running Daily News | Wed, March 21

Check out Cole Watson’s report from his Chuckanut win. Self-aware and reflective…I’m guessing we’ll be seeing Cole at the top of more leaderboards.

Do you go trail running with your pooch? Here’s how to keep them safe, fit, and happy.

Fast guys and gals are fun to listen to, but if you are really looking for wisdom, lessons, and an overall understanding of this silly sport, check out our latest interview with ultramarathon icon and SD100 RD Scotty Mills.

And yes, I used new intro music. What do you think? I hope you all listen to the song and check out David Rosales’ other tunes. Here’s the first video I know of that prominently features a UD hydration pack.

If a race is cancelled due to inclement weather, do you expect a refund? Step further: Do you expect your race shirt and a medal?

Add this to the list of reasons I prefer long, isolated trail runs: Silence is good for our brains. Those in the PNW, this trail in the Olympic National Forest is apparently the quietest place in the country.

Missing hyperlink for Indian paper.

I’m scared to get caught up to the current episode with a new theme song! I’m so used to the old.

I know. It’ll be a strange transition, but hopefully you’ll get used to it.

I really like the new intro music! But, I’m a sucker for cowboy tunes … so I like the country vibe in this one.

  No more “Use my body to keep you alive”??? Until you mentioned that the old song was by Rob Zombie, I had no idea that that line was actually part of the song! (I assumed it was a little clip you got from some movie, or maybe from an early interview.) I found the song (Never Gonna Stop) and actually listened to it this morning, and, well, there is a reason I don’t know much about Rob Zombie (but I could see the appeal as a middle of the race song). I’m with Sarah, and really like that new intro music (and the video that goes with it). This is a nice change, although I’m going to miss using that body to keep me alive.
