Philosophy
Adventure Runs:
- Objective: Run and climb the most remote, rugged, and aesthetic mountains.
- Wilderness: I have a deep respect and appreciation for nature so it is extremely important to me to leave no trace of my passage.
- Weather: Make sure to have a good weather forecast and monitor weather conditions.
- Route: Carefully review and understand the route and topography before setting out.
- Water: Know where there is water en route and plan accordingly.
- Enjoy: I take dozens of photographs and enjoy summit views.
Training:
- Trail Running:
- Time: Varies depending on how I feel. I take complete rest days and never do doubles.
- Terrain: Entirely on soft surface. I mix up hill runs with flatter terrain.
- Mileage: Varies, but usually around 60 miles per week in peak training.
- Diet: Lots of fruit, vegetables, protein, and whole wheat breads.
- Gym: Light, high rep workouts to build core strength.
