Dear Reader+Runner,

sometimes you just get a wake-up call to start something new. For me, this happened last weekend, when

a) I finished my first road marathon in over 10 years and just missed the 3 hour mark since I decided to belittle the RD’s warnings and the posted elevation profile telling me that the course had 1300ft of elevation. The fact that I had bib number “7” might have also made me feel invincible.

b) Mike Wardian doubled on the treadmill 50K world record, first missing it by a hair since he had not fully researched the latest record attempts and then beating it a little over a day later.

These two events, unrelated as they may seem, motivated me to rethink my running, quit the whining and get to work!

On these pages, I would like to invite you to share our joint running experience, make commitments to excellence by our personal standards and get busy (damn, this sounds awfully corporate culturish…)

Specifically, I want to share my training experience (through personal tips, Movescount and Strava) as well as race reports and any pertinent product, service and nutrition related info with you.

Stay tuned, send me any questions, comments or feedback you have and remember:

“Alone we are all fools, but together we can be Ultra-Fools!”

Christian
