500+ calories per hour. Heading into the Leadville 100, I wanted to chase Matt Carpenter’s legendary time of 15:42. That presented an obvious problem—Matt is a GOAT, who was better than I could dream of being. How can you compete with someone whose VO2 max was one of the highest

Answering some questions: -I only consume this carb total a few times a training block, though will be around 90 g/hr on all moderate intensity long runs. I often will drink ~a liter of fluid all at once on runs to prepare my stomach for volume (channeling lessons from

I live with the smartest person I have ever met. Dr. Megan Roche is an MD and PhD, she just launched Huzzah for research insights (thehuzzahhub.com), and I think she has an objective claim as the best running coach in the world when you combine it all, though she’ll play

Thousands of people made 15:26 possible ❤️ The kindest humans on social media, encouraging me and believing in me when I had trouble believing in myself. The incredible SWAP athletes who always knew that you didn't have to run 100 milers to know how to coach them. Our podcast

26 seconds. That is how much time separated my estimated Leadville 100 time in the pre-race spreadsheet (15:27) versus my actual time on race day (15:26:34). I have gotten a ton of questions about how that was possible. How could I have estimated so closely when I’m predicting a

No secrets. After the Leadville 100 record, maybe being an open book about my experience can help us understand a bit more about what humans can do in ultras. If I’m running 15:26, there is someone out there right now who will run sub-14:45, and people who couldn’t dream of 100

The Pain Cave. Ultras are known for the “Pain Cave,” this mythical place where athletes suffer for hours on end. What I learned after my bike accident in April is that the Pain Cave doesn’t mean “pain” like a head injury or broken bones. It means stripping down the physical

Of everything that has happened since Leadville, this might be the most wild to me. I was an original Deadspin reader in the mid-2000s (RIP), and I subscribed to Defector the day it was announced. This interview includes everything--even remembering some guys, in true sicko

In a post-Leadville 100 Q+A, I was asked about my weight and bodyfat percentage. I responded that I didn’t know. We tossed our scale in the dumpster sometime around 2014, and I haven’t weighed myself since. There is some nuance there, which I wanted to expand on. Yes, we

I watched this video and cried—a cry of release, of catharsis, of love for the broken road to get here. Allie Ostrander created a 10-minute documentary on the Leadville 100 course record, live now. I am so in awe of her art and storytelling, and I’m so thankful for her

Strength work for Leadville 100 💪 Over the years, I have felt judged by the research--my strength routines were limited to a few minutes at a time, while everyone was screaming at me from their Abstracts that I needed to do way more. I noticed two big problems whenever I
