I use the very breathable Peter Thomas Roth SPF 45 water resistant broad spectrum Hyaluronic Cloud Moisturizer on my face/neck for running, the Super Goop line, and an after sun recovery product by Coola because no one is perfect π #Runchat

Traveling for races is expensive, especially if you're chasing your Six-Star Journey with @wmmajors.bsky.social. However, Achilles International had a grant that can help defray costs. Grant deadline is April 15. #RunChat

Des Linden won't run the Boston Marathon this year, which she won in 2018 as she became the first American to win the event in 33 years.
Instead, sheβll run the 2026 Marathon des Sables, a 155-mile, week-long stage race across the desert in Morocco.

This is timely. Taking 4 days to rest an injury.
Fellow runners might tell you to treat time off as an opportunity to rest, or suggest XT will fill the void of running. Those ideas donβt address worries such as losing fitness.

Pass. I'll eat broccoli but not in a shot.
Every few years, something new shows up in endurance sports that promises more efficient training sessions, less race fatigue and a new PR.
Lately, that βsomethingβ is a flavorful shot made from broccoli.

My evolution as a runner continues to confound me. Approximately 8 years ago, I was doing a Couch to 5K program with @travelingtvi.bsky.social. Today, I just finished writing a marathon training plan for some other racers. #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun #RunChat
selfie of me after 12km run on the grassy/tree lined running path with another woman runner coming up behind me. Me, woman, freckled fair complexion, purple sweat drenched running hat, pink running shirt drenched around the collar, red faced, dark eyes, smiling. Woman running behind me, very tanned skin, long green tights, purple t-shirt, dark hat.
Holly cow. Just finished #running 12k today and woman runner twice exclaims βyour arms are amazing!β I love runners π» #runpunks #runchat #runsky This woman is a gem. Wanted to try for 120 mins but storm rolling in earlier than scheduled so paced for ~ 75 mins.
Dropping into an aid station during an ultra can sometimes seem overwhelming. You might leave with a half-eaten donut, a dimming headlamp, and the hope you can make it to the finish.
Instead, here are tips on making the most of an aid station.
