This past weekend, I was able to get down to Tucson, Arizona for the Old Pueblo 50 Miler.  Before I get on with my race write-up, I’m going to go off on a tangent regarding the state of ultrarunning.  The 1/2 dozen or so of you that read this blog, know that I ran the [...]

First Endurance has listened and now everyone can benefit. Here is what Josh had to say after his 1st place finish at Pemberton 50k.
While recently racing at the Pemberton 50k, just outside of Phoenix, I decided to give the “new and improved” version of First Endurance’s EFS electrolyte drink a try.  First Endurance has been [...]

Team Pearl Izumi-Smith run Chautauqua 2 27 10
Here is a little video taken on a team run during the summit.  It was tricky taking video because of the slick trails so sorry for being so shaky.

While taking my annual pilgrimage south to the Pemberton 50k, I spent some time reflecting on the previous seven years I have run this race.  Looking back, I realized that the years I’ve run well in this race, I’ve gone on to have a great year of running in general.  I’ll attribute this to being [...]

This weekend, Josh Brimhall goes for his 3rd win in 3 years at the Pemberton 50k. In 2008 Josh finished with a time of 3:21:39, last year he took first in 3:30:03. What does 2010 hold? Good Luck Josh. Have fun and run hard!
I am heading down to Moab for the Moab Red Hot. Hoping for [...]

Headlands 50 Mile: Living in the desert southwest can hinder one’s ability to incorporate runs longer than 20 miles into the summer training schedule. At times, it is necessary to seek out some longer races that don’t involve triple-digit temperatures and countless loops near a water source. This is how I came [...]

Josh Brimhall headed out to the Bay area for the Headlands 50 and came away with another win and set a new Course Record of 7:03.34. Stay tuned for a race report. Way to go Josh!

 
At the beginning of this year’s Western States 100 Mile I had grand plans for my summer.  Specifically, the Grand Slam was on the calendar.  I had a decent build-up to Western that included winning both races that I had entered prior to the “big one.” I had also accumulated more quality miles than ever [...]

It’s baaaaaack. After a one year hiatus due to fires, Western States returns with a packed field. Called the “superbowl” of ultras, this year’s race will prove to be more than super. Our very own Josh Brimhall and Dave Mackey will be in Squaw Valley on Saturday after over a year of preparation. Go get [...]
