Listserv Gold Part VIII - Free Advice



I actually have two articles that I had planned to write for today. I was wondering all week which one I should post. And now, it's Thursday - I've been too busy and haven't finished either article.

oops.

Then, out of the blue, someone on the ultra list posted a link to an article on the Free Advice section of Stan Jensen's run100s.com web site (a site I visit often.) Free advice section?? I've not seen that!


If you go there, you'll find a couple dozen articles on ultrarunning. I've only read a couple (Really busy this week, remember?), but it seems like there's a mix of useful/serious stuff and funny stuff. Perfect.

So, hit the link above for the following articles:
