Winter is Here: Where Will You Run?
After a solidly wonderful snow at the beginning on November, runners are already pinging each other to determine day-to-day trail conditions in Truckee and beyond. Figuring out how to still get your runs in, particularly if you prefer it not be on pavement, becomes an art in balancing word-of-mouth reports, DPMR updates, and timing needed […]

Adventure Report: The Full Evo Loop
The Evolution Loop in the Eastern Sierras (aka “Evo Loop”) has been on my list for a few years now, but each year something comes up and I haven’t been able to fit it in. That changed after a run conversation with Dan Brounstein about fall plans following his big TRT100 outing turned into a […]

Sage Advice for Ultra Race Crewing
I’ve never ran far enough to need a crew. Or, at least justifying to myself the need for a crew. The wonderful volunteers at aid stations have generally been able to provide the support and energy boost needed to get through everything from half marathons to 50k races.
