Fast Running: John Kelly has some strong, cogent arguments about Kipchoge’s sub two run last week. Good, compelling read.
I came across this pic yesterday of Jason Wooden showing off a fish he caught mid-race at Moab 240. Anyone know the rest of the story?
I know I for one dream of a race day with an endless pain cave. Not discomfort from the get-go, but the natural pain of racing that I encounter somewhere along the way and can just keep diving into. Where you can dig and dig and dig without falling apart. Instead of reaching for the mat and tapping out, you take every hit and always have one more punch to give. That’s my magic race day.
Treeline Journal: Chase updates on two months without alcohol and how his quit-lawyering-and-start-living plan is taking off. One request though…ya can’t call it “San Fran.”

I recorded a new episode yesterday with Michael Ortiz and will release it Monday.
