COVID Thoughts

May 29, 2020 by Andy Pasternak Leave a Comment

By Dr. Andrew Pasternak, Silver Sage Sports & Fitness Lab One of the biggest questions I’ve been getting in the past few weeks is what ultrarunning is going to look like once we start racing. My short answer: I have no idea. We still have way more questions about COVID 19 than we have answers.  We […]

Brockway 2018, Unfiltered* (Tahoe200 clockwise edition)

September 26, 2018 by Ksenya Gusak 3 Comments

Tahoe 200 (Tahoe 206.7 is just not as catchy) is back in our ‘hood again. This year, the race is going in the opposite, clockwise direction — which gives something to do for those who have run counterclockwise previously, gets in the loneliest farthest afield crewless miles – last (right as you’re 2- to 4-days […]
