Trail to 100

You haven’t been trail running until you run at night in the icy cold. Week nine of training for a 100 mile ultra-marathon was capped off with a 15 mile night run in the Utah mountains. Melody and Jacob describe their experience of running at night while also debating training styles, running shoes and running packs! Join Melody and Jacob as they train for their first 100 mile race. 

Week: 8
Longest Run: 21
Total weekly mileage: 36

What’s it like to run through herds of wild bison with panoramic views of mountains, salt flats, and the largest inland body of salt water in the world? And what kind of challenges does that bring? Jacob and Melody talk about their experiences of running with buffalo (bison), mineral water recovery methods, and cross training, all absolute necessities if they are going to run 100 miles in just a few months .
