One reason I like Kilian Jornet is how he knows of the past and respects it. If you have never heard an interview with Kilian this one with Ian Corless on Talk Ultra is a good one as he talks with Kilian about his Bob Graham Round (#159) record.
I often quote runners form the past and share books on the same. We need to avoid Neglecting Running Past Successes, not just so we can reminisce but so we keep the connection that exists with those that have run before us
A couple good track and field meets this Friday and Saturday: Monaco on the 20th and London on the 21st. Some things to look for at these meets.
I am for sure looking forward t both the women's and men's steeplechase at Monaco - would be good to see Coburn and Jager go under 9:00 and 8:00, respectively, and win.

Will prize money lead to doping in the sport of Trail running? In general I do not think so but then again how many are doping now is probably not really clear as testing is not done regularly and as the sport grows there will be those that come in for the fame and money rather than just the joy of racing trails.
Cragg and Thweatt are set to run Chicago and with Hasay in it will be a good race among the American women
A pretty good explanation of the difference between Keto and LCHF diets. While I eat LCHF I do see, for myself, the good of using Keto for recovery and short term as a tool to heal/recover with a time of very low carbs.

There are a lot of people out there asking for Patreon support and am sure they need it but for me I support two sources as they are consistently providing great info, much you see here on my page. Think about supporting iRunFar.com & UltrarunnerPodcast.com
