We have a total of four training for MMT 100 mile race. The past weekend, we did the second run. Each run is about 30 ish mile and over four training, we would cover the entire course. For me, the training runs are more fun the the race itself. Night before the run, we had…

[Day580] giving back at Yeti 100

Day474 Runner Block
The last 5-6 weekends, I have been running a marathon every week. Some were races and some were training runs. This weekend, I had a lot of time or maybe something inline with being lazy or simply my body crashed. I ended up not doing anything. I have been increasing my volume on my training…
