I am a husband. Father. Strength Coach. Gym Owner. Runner.
Starting today I am embarking on a running adventure. I would like to invite you to join me on this journey and lets do some good along the way.
The San Diego Ultra Slam
There is a local event called the San Diego Ultra Slam (http://sandiegoultraslam.com). It is compromised of 4 separate runs done in a calendar year and includes a 50-kilometer, 100-kilometer, 50-mile, and 100-mile run. I am starting with the Noble Canyon 50-kilometer run on September 20th, www.noblecanyon50k.com.
Last year I developed an interest in ultra endurance running. To that end I trained for and finished my first 50-mile ultra marathon in January 2014 (The San Diego Trail 50).
It was an amazing experience to challenge myself both physically and mentally. I accomplished my goal of finishing in under 10-hours. I also learned a lot about how to train, eat, rest, and what not to do when training (I.e. Neglect stretching after a hard run). Now 4-months later, I am itching to run more ultra-marathons (ultras) and even improve my performance.
In these posts I want to share with you my training plan for runners, training notes and topics such as strength training, nutrition, hydration, injury prevention, etc.
Helping Others in Need
I am very committed to giving back. I would like to invite you to support me by helping others in need.
As of now, I am finalizing some programs to help raise money for worthy causes in San Diego and around the country.
If you have any thoughts, please let me know!
Donate to RunDanimalRun!
In addition to raising for charity (coming soon), you can also help support my training efforts by donating to this blog. This will help offset some of the costs associated with equipment purchases, event registration, running analysis (coming in the next blog or two), VO2 and metabolic testing (ditto). You can also donate just because you support me :)
