Video and training

I came across this video this am over at Matt Hart's blog, it definitely got me extra excited to dip my toe into the ultra world and to keep exploring new trails:



Running has been going well the past few weeks, I have been consistent with my runs. I am getting in a long run, a medium long run, a shorter speed set, or a hill set and a tempo workout weekly. The consistency definitely pays off in the long run.

I have also been reminded how important it is to keep learning about your sport. One thing that always strikes me about really top level athletes is just how curious they can be. They are always asking questions in the hope of finding some nugget that will help them perform.

I very much agree with the motto that I would rather look stupid for asking, than be ignorant for not knowing-now back to Olympic viewing!
