“Most of us have enough areas in our lives where we have to meet others’ expectations.
Let your running be about your own hopes and dreams.”

This week I interviewed Kentucky and Master runners Nelson Weaver and Dudley Walden. Starting next week I will be doing the interviews on Interview Tuesday's.
Nice article on the Robertson twins, Zane and Jake, move to Kenya
Amy Cragg is looking for a PR at the Tokyo Marathon February 25th
Interview with Camille Herron: I was Born to Run
While I am entered to do the Tunnel Hill 100 this year it looks like they are adding a Marathon and it will be a certified course as well as a Boston Qualifier. Should be good as very little elevation and also on softer ground but still a good surface to get a BQ on. You can keep up on it being added on the Tunnel Hill FB page
I showed this video a few weeks ago of a talk by Eliud Kipchoge and Dave Bedford - Outside Online had broken out some of Eliud's comments in this article .
Outside also takes on the call for X-Country to be "more extreme" and "edgier." I think this can go too far but being one who loves X-Country and would love to see it back in the Olympics I have to say the recent world championships I have watched have been little more than track meets on manicured grass lawns with a few hay bails to jump over once in a while. I do not want to sound old but back in the day I remember running through mud up good sized hills and ealing with what ever weather came at you and little was easy or for that matter fast - it was just plain hard. See the video below of the BUCs X-Country races in the UK and other associated videos as these races were tough.
How many of these National Parks have you run at, I have run at three of them?
I have only done one of these races - The Carlsbad 5000
I am currently reading Endure by Alex Hutchinson and here is a short review by LetsRun.com. I am only about a 1/3 of the way done and it is a great book and is up there with Peak Performance by Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness
Want to enter UTMB, or any of the other races offered, well here is how to register for 2019. While there is a lottery to get in I do like this: "Riders who have been refused twice in the 2017 and 2018 draws on the same race may enter the individual race on the same race in 2019 without going through the draw provided that they hold the necessary points for 2019."

The Training for Ultra Podcast talks to Yiou Wang, Cara chase and Jeff Browning. Really like Jeff Browning interviews as always good stuff comes up. Liked how he described his diet as he called himself a "flexitarian." Diet section starts at 1hr 32min into the interview.
How many of these are on your bucket list. Only one of them might be on my list, Great Wall Marathon, but might try the Missoula Marathon one day
