Ultramarathon Daily News | Thurs, Aug 3

From the Olympics to one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world. If you liked Anthony Famiglietti’s episode from March, you’ll really like his report from Speedgoat. Fast, brash, and honest…I love this dude.

There may be a new unsupported AT FKT. His training and experience certainly give weight to his claim.

Great report on Adam Campbell’s Hardrock finish written by Dakota Jones.  What a story!

I don’t know how you Alaskan trail runners and hikers do it.  Oh, hell no.

Runners are a pretty ritualistic group. Matt’s not having any of that rubbish.

Why running is so beneficial to older women. My mom’s an active runner and in great shape. Here’s an interview I did with her from a few years ago.
