I'm a little short on time this week, so I regret that I won't be able to write anything today. Instead, I'll post an Anton Krupicka video that I came across this morning.
(If you can't see the video, please click here.)
As in any niche sport, ultrarunning has its share of top performers that those of us involved follow. My personal favorite is Krupicka. Read his blog, his insight is very valuable and he's a great writerer as well. Here also is a recently published article about him that is very interesting: click.

Warning about barefoot running
This found its way to my email box yesterday:
I assure you, any self-interest these people would have in your buying running shoes is just a figment of your imagination.
On a completely unrelated topic, today is supposed to be an epic day in fanboy history. I can't deny my own curiosity. I'll be watching.

Listerv Gold Part IV - 100 miles is a long way
Time for another edition of Ultrarunning Listserv Gold, a semi-regular feature of this blog where I quote something I found inspiring, interesting, or generally valuable on one of the various ultrarunning email distribution lists I subscribe to. To view all editions of ULG, please click here.

After finishing my first 100, the next one was much easier, just because I knew I could do it. It sounds like you have a mission to make Leadville your first 100. But, in my opinion, you'd be MUCH better prepared for Leadville after finishing at least one other 100 first. Even if it's dead flat loops in a 24 hour event, or 'just' going 80-90 miles. It is going to give you a much better chance at finishing LV. A hundred miles is a long way. It's a hell of a long way when you're not sure you can do it. Throw in a couple of laps on Hope Pass and it could be pretty daunting. -Joe Judd
