“When other people get tired, they stop. I DON’T. I take over my body with my mind. I tell it that it’s not tired and it listens.”
Yiannis Kouros
This week for Interview Tuesday I talked to Kentucky and Masters runner Rick Torres
iRunFar.com's This Week in Running: Dec 10, 2018
Nice to see a local race, well local for me, the No Business 100 get a good write up in Ultrarunning Magazine
If you have not heard Camille Herron ran the Dessert Soltice December 8th and 9th and in the process broke the Women's American 100 Mile Track Record (13:25) and the Women's World 24 Hour Record @ 162.919 miles. Here is an article from Women's Running , from Sports Illustrated, Outside Online and Fast Running
In light of Camille's record it reminds me of the astounding distance Yiannis Kouros ran, 303.506km (188.59 miles), back in 1997 and here is a look at Yiannis Kouros

I just ordered David and Megan Roche's new book The Happy Runner and Trail Runner Magazine has an excerpt from the book. I am looking forward to reading it and once I am done, in a month or so, I will have a review of it.
People may argue over the benefits of a LCHF diet for shorter races but more and more evidence shows it is a plus for Ultra's as seen by Jason Schlarb's (actually tied with Diego Pazos) win at UTMB Oman
I came across this list from 2014 so not sure how many races are still around but if you are in Australia here are 10 to look into - anyone run any of these?
Need some reading check out the side bar of the blog - yes they are affiliate links but the small amount I get for items bout via links basically goes into getting more books to read and review

Local, to Kentucky, Races and Events
(If you have a race in the area, including surrounding states, let me know and I will post about it)
Running groups are a great way to get to know people but also a great way to help you progress and get out and run. If you are in the Elizabethtown KY area check out the Running Soles Group and if you are closer to Campbellsville check out the Campbellsville Running Club. Have another local running group in KY let me know and I will list it.
