😈Devil on the Divide 50k 2025

My first 50k in the books! Ok…so it was under 29mi per my watch, but with most of the course being between 10-13k in elevation and having 6.7k ft of climbing, I really don’t care.

What an epic day! Still not sure why exactly I signed up or if I really had that much fun during. Wasn’t going to drop though even though I really didn’t feel great. Miss timed the training by about a week and was still absorbing the training.

I think that at least some of this was me trying to regain the fitness and confidence in my body I had in 2022 prior to injuring my ankle. Trying to prove to myself that I could again. Yes, there are some mental health issues to work through. Hit me up if you’re in that space and want to help me.

Despite the numerous question marks around what I could do physically and mentally, there has long been a part of me that knew I could do this. Even when my legs didn’t feel good 9-10mi in, dropping was never a consideration. Something in me told me I had enough to keep moving. To get to the finish line.

Thank god it told me that before the second half. I got worked on that portion! Enough that it frustrates me a little making me want to revisit this. Maybe in 2027…? We will see where life takes us these next couple years.

All in all, now that I am a few weeks removed I can feel the type 2 fun that happened that day. This is a great race and very well done. Stunning scenery even with smoky conditions though that did clear as the day went on. Great post race spread though I didn’t get to enjoy it as I was nauseas for many hours after and unable to eat or drink.

You should absolutely consider getting it on your race calendar!

Dear runners and endurance athletes,

Are you stuck in this cycle?

Many people are. We’re helping people everyday break this cycle of relying on passive modalities that take the locus of control away from you and onto someone else. You have all that you need inside you to manage things independently if you are open and ready to explore it. Won’t be easy, but it will be lasting.

There is nothing wrong with these modalities as a small part of a bigger plan. However, many people (clinicians and athletes) don’t use them in this manner. It’s a mean to address symptoms in the short term and get back to training asap without ever addressing anything meaningful.

If we instead take a step back, address training behavior, acknowledge and account for life stressors, and manipulate supplementary exercises for tissue health…everything changes! Rarely, if ever, will you need these passive modalities.

Current thoughts 👇

1️⃣ Glutes are important, but not as much as other regions when it comes to strength and power for distance running. There are cases such as in mountainous trail running this can change if you isolate a steep enough climb.

2️⃣ It’s less about the strength and power and more about the rhythm, coordination, and timing. Truth time, no muscle will probably ever be strong enough in an isolated fashion to run. It all works together in concert through that rhythm, coordination, and timing.

Super interesting topic! Hit up the comments if you want to chat about it or ask questions.

Tendon pain: need to knows…

💪Tendon tissue is insanely strong!

🩻Pain doesn’t necessarily mean there is damage. Many damaged tendons are painless. Conversely, healthy tendons can be painful. May have just over cooked it a little.

🔑Progressive resisted exercise and good metabolic health are two big keys to getting back to 100%

Back in December…I did a thing.

I ran my first marathon. Yes, my first.

It was quite the journey getting there that really starts 2yrs prior when I broke my ankle and partially tore my peroneal longus tendon.

This post contains some of the big takeaways from the last 2 years, woth a focus on the marathon. If you want the full story, you can check out our blog through our bio link.

Painful tendon? We see a lot of that here.

The plyometric nature of running means we use our tendons a lot! Sometimes to a greater extent than we can recover from well.

If that’s the case for you, these common characteristics may resonate with you and help you find a path forward better knowing what you might be dealing with. Of course a full and thorough eval is always the best bet to identify the best path forward.
