The Rebuild‼️

With my last race of the year done () I can finally get back to my roots: prioritizing strength training

Logging 70-90 miles per week was fun and I was able to build my fitness to knee heights - but you only have so much time and energy in the day/week and I needed to prioritize my main goals (Chicago marathon and JFK 50)

Now that my milage is back down to 30-50 miles per week, expect to see some big numbers being thrown around.

The new 12-week program I made for myself incorporates Eccentric and Acomodated resistance using cool tools/methods like the releasers, band resistance, reverse band tension, and chains.

I’ll also be incorporating movements I have not done in a while like Hatfield BSS, Nordic Curls, and Trap Bar DL to increase my movement library and capabilities.

Ankle/Foot strength is always important to me, so bi-weekly testing on the plates will also help me stay on top of that.

Excited to finish out the year strong 💪🏼

On 4/6/2025, exactly half a year ago, I finished the biggest undertaking of my life: The Run Across CT

Although my goal of 150 miles didn’t get reached, the RACT was a huge success for 2 main reasons:
1️⃣ I ran 123 miles (twice as long as my previous best)
2️⃣ The project raised $15,000 for the

I have decided to bring it back in 2026… but a little differently - as an ultramarathon solo or relay race.

Check out for updates and hope to see some of you out there💪🏼

Summer Side Quest #2 ✅Rangar Reach the Beach

Had an awesome experience running 204 miles with my great teammates. The whole event had a super unique culture from personalizing the van with markers, to tallying the number of “kills” (aka passes), and creating fake rivalries vs other teams (we beat Lean beef btw)

Super impressed with the volunteers and the event coordinators for all the safety checks and road markings for the entire 200+ miles. I felt safe and knew where I was going without needing to be constantly looking at my phone or watch.

Quick for ya
- 204 team miles
- 8:02 avg team pace
- 45.74 miles logged by me
- 6 segments total ran by me
- longest was 10.05mi, shortest was 5.09mi

Full stats post coming 🔜

Side Quest ✅ 1st Triathlon Done

Week 10 of Chicago/JFK Prep was topped off with my 1st triathlon - a sprint distance at the beach.

This was an 800m swim, a 5 mile bike, and a 2 mile run

This came the day after I PRd my half marathon during training.

More importantly im super happy to say that I completed it and trained for this race with . So proud of you for trying something new and kicking ass!❤️

It’s clear I’m a runner when you see I was 102/155 on the swim, 84/155 on the bike, and 2/155 on the run😂

Check the last pic to see me get dusted by an 11 year old who probably could’ve lapped me in the swim
