Here are some pictures from my most recent training block (part 1 - vertical pictures🤣)! I had this whole post written about how I dealt with a (somewhat minor) injury this training block and what it was like working through and coming back from it — both physically and mentally (tough, it was tough). But EFF that. This training block was RAD! I said yes to more adventures in the mountains and really gained a lot more experience training on technical trails. I grew confidence with my technical descents (plus lost it, and then gained it back). I found joy in the adverse elements of Mother Nature. I surprised myself with many segment PRs. I became an even stronger climber. I also had a hard time navigating the trails and felt lost many times. I had a few runs where I became dehydrated, felt empty, and even attacked by bugs. I got muddy, ran into a tree running almost full blast, and had a few anxiety/crying sessions in those mountains. I worked through an injury and thought I would for sure have to pull out of my race. Let’s not forget the ABSURD amount of cheese-less pizza I consumed as well. I experienced all the highs and lows. And I’m grateful for that journey to get me to where I am now. Because I will be lining up race day strong as hell thanks to it all✌🏻
My fast friend @molls397 & I had an awesome #mountainmonday hike together in the Catskills. But since it’s Wednesday now, she’s definitely my #womancrushwednesday! 😍 She’s so game for an adventure, and super tough! She’s one of those runners who is fast on the road AND comfortable on the trails, which definitely isn’t everyone. It was her first hike since a couple of knee surgeries and she moved quickly and confidently even on the Devil’s Path. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 We weren’t running, but hiking at a good clip is at least half of what we’d have been doing even if this had been a run. #technicalterrain and steep climbs and descents make much of this trail unrunnable. Thanks for coming on an adventure with me, Molly!! Can’t wait to go back for more and cheer you on in some road races this year! #catskills #devilspath #technicaltrails #rockyandrooty #trailrunningwomen #mountainviews
MONDAY MOETIVATION 358 days ago this post race selfie was taken that means for the last 358 days I have thought about coming up short ( 80 miles) at the RIVERLANDS 💯 mile race being timed out before I hit the 88 mile checkpoint. EVERY FAILURE MATTERS #choosestrongpodcast and in 12 days not only do I have a chance at redemption I have the incredible opportunity to prove to myself how much these 100 mile buckles mean to me. PLEASE STAY TUNED so you do not miss any part of this journey from the 🐼 that has remained in the arena NO MATTER WHAT! #moetivation #happymonday #marathon #ultramarathon #panda #newengland #technicaltrails #riverlands100 #coachedbylori #hundohunting #bucklebagging #badwater #dreaming #dothework #choosestrong #doitforthelongsleevetechtees #stilloutside #inthearena #staythecourse #lessonsnotlosses #stilllearning #stillgrowing #runningmotivation #thegoodthebadandthenotsopretty #staygritty #outside #turnermaine #iloverunning #instarunners
“I am capable of difficult things” has been my mantra from the very beginning, and today was no exception. This hike was a killer, but also probably the most fun l’ve had on a trail in awhile. I love stuff that requires some brain power and skill to accomplish. At some point I would love to be able to do the whole Narragansett Trail system, but for now I’ll settle for completing yet another section. 🪨🖤🥾 📍Long and Ell Pond Trail #hike #hikemore #hikerhodeisland #rhodeisland #rhodeisland #ri #hikenewengland #newengland #rocks #rockville #technicaltrails #rockscramble #climbing #moss #forest #woods #naturejunglegym #girlswhohike #hikingcouple
Sandnes Ultra Trail 50 miles 🇳🇴 Finished the unfinished business🙌🏻 Dieses mal war ich Mental bereit für diese anspruchsvolle Strecke! Doch die Tatsache allein zu wissen was auf mich zukommt machte die ganze Sache nicht einfacher… Dieses mal hatten wir beim Start nur 2° und auf der ersten 15km Schlaufe (der wahrscheinlich technischste Abschnitt des ganzen Laufes) lag teilweise sogar noch etwas Schnee. Aufgrund des Schnees und Matsches bin ich auf den ersten 25km sicherlich 20x hingefallen😅 Nach gerade mal 7 km hatte ich bereits einen blauen Fingernagel, sowie leichte Schmerzen im Unterammuskel. Was das viele rumgekletere ziemlich erschwerte🙈 Und das benutzen der Stöcke unmöglich machte… But shit happens🤷🏻♂️ Zwischen CP2 (25km) und CP3 (33km) wurde es dann ziemlich matschig. Ich versuchte so lange es ging von Stein zu Stein zu springen um trockene Füsse zu behalten. Aber irgendwann war es nicht mehr möglich und ich hatte von da an nasse Füsse… Nach CP3 war es dann für ca. 12km relativ flach, aber nicht zwingend weniger technisch… Langsam fand ich meinen Rhythmus und gewöhnte mich an die Trails. Nach 45km war dann quasi der Job erfüllt und der Spass fing an😁😜 Nach dem Schuh- und Kleiderwechsel beim Dropbag (56km) fühlte ich mich wieder wie neu geboren. Von da an bis zum CP5 (65km) war ich für 3h komplett alleine unterwegs.. Genoss den Sonnenuntergang und fühlte mich einfach nur grossartig! Ultramodus on fire 🔥🥳 Nach 70km wars dann soweit.. Die Uphills und das flache laufen funktionierte zwar noch immer problemlos! Aber das laufen auf den technischen Passagen, flach und bergab, war auf einmal unmöglich. Meine Beine wollten nicht mehr… Auf dem letzten langen Downhill musste ich mich teilweise hinsetzen um die steilen und hohen Stufen überhaupt meistern zu können. An einfach runterhüpfen war nicht mehr zu denken😅 Trotz allem konnte ich dann auf den letzten km wie gewohnt nochmals aufs Gaspedal drücken und pushte mich die letzte kleine extra Schlaufe nochmals hoch und ballerte zumindest den laufbaren Teil des Downhills ins Ziel hinunter😝 ⏱️ 17h 28min ➡️ 84km ↕️ 4700m+ @sandnesultratrail 📸: @elinmaeland
Dear Oleta, thank you for reminding me why I love mtb riding so much. It has been 4 years since I last rode you and I had so much fun today. I didn’t realize how much tech was out there. Rode every trail except strangler fig and Gilligans island which were closed. I worked every single muscle in my body! Looking forward to riding here again soon! #oletariverstatepark #oletamtbtrails #oletamtbpark #oletatrails #mtblovers #mtblove #mtblife #mtb #bronsonv1 #santacruzbikes #mtbmich #mtbchick #mtbgal #mtbgirl #ericandmichlife #mtbadventure #mtbcouple #mtblove #mtblovers #technicaltrails #oletaparkmtbtrails

Day 3 of instructing the cadet instructors on their mountain bike intermediate course was filled with adrenaline and learning! 🚵♂️ We tackled the technical trails at Gwydir Forest, honing their skills and navigating through challenging terrain. Along the way, we covered important topics like trail etiquette and how to identify and manage hazards. Another day of adventure and growth in the bag!

Convert to #mullet aims to blend the advantages of both wheel sizes, offering the stability and roll-over capabilities of a larger front wheel while enhancing maneuverability and agility with a smaller rear wheel. By adjusting the bike's geometry and possibly the fork travel to accommodate the new setup, riders can tailor their bike to better suit their riding style and terrain preferences, whether it's tackling #technicaltrails or navigating tight #corners with ease. #dtswiss #ex511 #bikepulse

Half marathon #13 on the books - my first trail race and Wowzers . Trail running is not for the faint of heart. I fell twice and other runners were so sweet to ask if I was okay- just some humble pie and muddy hands. No blood thank god! Apparently this race wasn’t “that” technical but it was more “technical” than last year and some pretty steep slopes for my taste. The mud was thick enough to coat my soles but easy enough to wipe off on a rock. My calves and shins were locked up by the start and resisting me at every step. My friend Jacobi was doing the quarter and was so sweet to run with me- my 2nd fall she called out to check on me and I yelled out for her to take off leave me behind and win a dang medal! By lap two my calves had adjusted but my knees were not happy. I was alone for most of the 2nd lap the pack thinned out and I found it much more enjoyable. I saw a girl at near the end and picked up the pace to pass her. Only to be passed by a different girl. By then with pure flat gravel and the finish arch ahead I put in for a finishing kick- I passed her and she matched me- we had a race to the finish- she edged me out but it was my favorite part of the dang race!! Check out my finally fast pace 😆 . I’m not sure I’m made out to be a trail runner- at a minimum my calves need a ton of work that was 2 hours of constant stability adjusting running with rocks in my shoes- super fun- fearing what tomorrow will feel like when I wake up. 🤪 . 2:24.19 official time. . #trailrun #halfmarathon #lemontforgehalf #muddyhands #lovetorun #justrun #runningismytherapy #sundayrunday #running #lemontforge #technicaltrails
Race debrief and a few snaps from the weekend giving some insight into the technicality of the terrain. As much as I enjoy running on more challenging trails, i don’t think technical and steep (>15%) ascending is one of my strengths. Looking over some data from the weekend, I can see I lost quite a bit of time on these sections to guys ahead of me at the finish line, disproportionately to the more runnable stuff. I’m going to focus on my strength work to try and ‘combat’ this and develop my power:weight A positive take-home was that I made up time on the technical descents. I was to-and-fro with someone making time up on steep, muddy downs. I guess I just have less regard for my own life! Carbs are king. A debrief with @teamhour7 and @esthergoldsmith after TGC highlighted carbs as a possible contributing factor (the heat, illness, nerves all burning through them quicker than in training). This weekend, I took 340g carbs for the 3hr race and consumed nearly all of them in the first 90min (except saving a gel for the last descent). I felt great while taking them but as soon as I’d burnt through them (~2hr) I felt ‘floppy’! I’m going to really push the carbs to see what my stomach can take over these shorter races. I’m on the fence as to whether a course recce is always beneficial. In Gran Canaria I would have liked to have known the course and what was around the corner. Then this weekend in the Serra da Lousa I was more than happy running ‘blind’. Perhaps that is partly the mindset with which I went in or the expectation I had for my performance each weekend with Louzantrail being much more relaxed Do you debrief with yourself or others after a race? I think it’s the best tool for us to learn, develop and strategise going forwards into the next block of training/race #running #trailrunning #mountainrunning #serradalousa #portugal #racing #louzantrail #debrief #learning #carbsareking #trails #technicaltrails #prosandcons

I ❤ putting in the work! . . Ran the first 18 miles on the Peak 50k course today! Absolutely stunningly beautiful! A lot of snow, very technical trails, and a great day to work on my strength and aerobic engine. Ran 2 miles at the last man standing pace to put me at 20 miles on the day and over 68 miles for the week! Also had 2 strength workouts this week and over an hour of stretching/mobility work. 1 more week of hard work next week then a 2 week taper! . . Put in the work but make sure you have a lot of fun along the way! ❤ . . #ultraversesupplements #teamultraverse #enduranceevolved #ultratraining #ultrarunning #longrunsaturday #putinthework #20miles #trailrunning #singletrack #technicaltrails #cuyamacaranchostatepark #cuyamacapeak #mountains #sandiegorunners #snowrun #strongerthanyesterday #athlete #runnersofinstagram #landscapephotography #californiarunning #hillreps #mountainrunning #runsteepgethigh #runsandiego #runstagram #neverstopexploring #peakbagging #naturetherapy #optoutside

It was my first long run on Table Mountain 🇿🇦. I had fallen for the 3rd or 4th time and stayed crumpled in a heap on the side of the trail 😭. I would never learn how to run these trails! But slowly, slowly I got better. More confident on the technical sections, faster, and enjoying it. 🏃♀️🏞 Here is what I learned... Do you find these tips useful?

Drama. Het mooie aan wolken en regen in de bergen is dat ze het een extra laag geven. Zet een strak blauwe lucht af tegen langzaam of snel passerende wolken, harde rukwinden, mist, regen of hagel. Samen met de weersveranderingen wordt de ervaring meer intens. Natuurlijk zie ik graag de zon, een zorgeloze strak blauwe lucht en het comfort dat dit met zich mee brengt. Maar in de beleving houd ik ook wel van het drama van het wisselend weer en de bijhorende ontberingen en complexiteit in navigatie, bewegen in het terrein en behaaglijk houden van het lichaam. Ik ben hier niet de enige in. Vlak onder, of voor mij na, de top kwam ik een Ier tegen. Met elkaar praten was lastig door de harde wind en regen. Ook al was de top in de wolken gehuld, het ging ons beiden duidelijk om de reis met dat kleine beetje drama. #carrauntoohil #ierland #drama #europehighestmountains #hikingmountains #technicaltrails #wanderlust #irischweather #enjoyingmountains
Reflections on the Mallorca 5000 Skyrunning 2023. ⛰️ With my only experience of ultra distance sky racing, being the previous two years of tackling this race, I saw some huge improvements. The first year I carried too much food, water and unfamiliar kit - and was a lot slower. Last year I went too light on calories, and cramped up early on, and eventually had to drop out. This year I almost got it right. But after 9 hours of eating mostly gels, bars and gel drinks, I could've benefitted from a little more real food than the quick bites grabbed at aid stations. Something to soothe my hungry and slightly nauseas stomach towards the end of the race. But my head was clear, no negative mental chatter. And I really felt 'in flow' - which is such a leap ahead of where I was a few years ago. I've heard it said that ultra racing is 80-90% the mind, and I believe it's true. Doing 'the work', as @drjoedispenza puts it, over these last few years, has not only changed my health outcome, but it's made all of life's challenges so much easier to face. And helped me feel grounded and sure in purpose. Seeing and feeling 'the work' work, is the biggest reward there is. Investing time and consistency without knowing when or what the results will be, takes faith and commitment - but it's SO worth it! 🙌💚🙌 -------------------- Another huge thank you to everyone for the generosity in donations, words and support.

21 miles and it got wet and muddy. This bike is almost 10 years old and I wasn’t excited to ride today because of it. No eagle gear, no instant engagement I9s and a dropper post that barely dropped. I got used to modern bike geometry and features, but the old enduro killed it. By the end of the ride I was stoked on it.

Thank you Kerstin. 🤍🤍🤍 ✨✨✨ See below if you’d like to experience a liberating transmutation in a KAP session! ✨🤍✨ All the money will go to Viva!, the campaigning vegan charity, for whom Rebecca Lewis will run one of Mallorca's most demanding races. ✨✨✨ Kundalini energy can also be called the energy of awakening or liberation and is an all-encompassing energy that helps us in our evolution. ✨✨✨ When awakened, the human being begins a journey of introspection, expansion and ascension. The energy channels are unblocked and many unhealthy tendencies are disappearing, as well as increasing and amplifying consciousness and, therefore, lucidity and compassion. A much more conscious and pure type of perception arises. ✨✨✨ For more information on KAP and to support my race. Links in bio. ✨💚✨ Together we can make this world a more beautiful place for everyone. Peace and health starts on our plates. 💚🌎💚 @vivacharity Some gorgeousness. 💖 @estherthewonderpig —————————— #kap #kundaliniawakening #kundalini #raiseyourvibration #awakenedhumanbeing #becomingsupernatural #ultramarathon #mallorca5000skyrunning #mountainracing #skyracing #technicaltrails #mountaintrails #trailrunner #challenge #charityrun #vivacharity #veganrunnersuk #fortheanimals #runningforgood #plantpoweredathlete #love #freedom #compassion #peace #eatkindly #peacefulplate #healthyandhappy #justiceforanimals #bethechange #vegan
Backyard Mini Ultra - 35.8km ⛰️⛰️⛰️ Long run to test out the body and how to fuel it. Make sure all is working well for the Mallorca 5000. Happy to say it is! 👍😃 And feeling great today. A plant based diet is incredible for recovery. And why wouldn’t it be. It’s anti-inflammatory, healing and gives me tons of energy! Sounds like the optimal diet for humans! It certainly works well for athletes. 😉💚🌱💪 Please support my race. 💚🙌💚(🔗 in bio.) Join me on my mission to change things for the good of everyone. The health of the planet, the lives of animals, and us. 🛟 @vivacharity Some gorgeousness 💖 @estherthewonderpig ——————————- #plantpoweredathlete #optimaldiet #healingplants #peacefulplate #eatkindly #backyardultra #ultramarathon #mallorca5000skyrunning #mountainracing #skyrunning #skyracing #technicaltrails #mountaintrails #trailrunner #challenge #charityrun #vivacharity #veganrunnersuk #fortheanimals #runningforgood #animalrescue #compassion #interspeciesconnection #sentientbeings #justlikeus #compassionforanimals #happyandfree #vegan #vegano

Wrapped up week 3 of my UTMB ultra marathon training. Cumulative 135 miles and 24,000 feet of vertical gain on 15 days of running.

Day 31. Do you consider your job as exercise or at least being active? If you're desk bound during your working hours, are you at all active during that time? The last few days at work have been very "active". So much so, that I've been too tired to train before or after work. So, has the "work" contributed to the training? I think so... #ultras #ultrarunning #trailrunning #trails #100km #blackall100 #blackall100training #TrailRunning #RunningCommunity #RunningInspiration #RunnersOfInstagram #RunHappy #TrailRunningBrisbane #BrisbaneTrails #MountainRunning #ForestTrail #DesertRunning #RockyTrails #TechnicalTrails #NeverStopExploring #EnduranceAthlete #RunTheWorld #ChasingSummits #RunWild #TrailLife #OutdoorAdventures #TrainingForUltra #TrailTraining #TrainingMotivation #FitnessJourney @runqueensland @puresportsnutrition @maurten_official @goodr_aunz @Garmin @orangemud @altra @wildfiresports
Mix of "so pretty" and "gonna die here". Maybe I brought the wrong bike, but it managed just fine, unlike the rider. #trailriding #technicaltrails #gravelride #canyongrail #rougevalley

Day 36. Wow. Almost time to get the buff out and warm the ankles up. We're getting to the pointy end of this stick...
Trail run/scope out with Nathan on 3 black diamond Mtb trails by Glendale falls. Just gotta dry out and it’s a goooooooo!! #mtb #blackdiamond #glendalefalls #powerlinedrop #petersplayground #trailrun #technicaltrails #workout
Day 37. Ouch.... Do you think they did it intentionally or did the front few peeps cut the course and the rest followed unwittingly? Have you ever cut a corner in a race? It's funny. Reading this article reminds me of how I always go around things rather than cutting corners as every centimetre counts.... Or so my brain thinks. I also just can't cheat myself as I'm the only one who's going to suffer.... #ultras #ultrarunning #trailrunning #trails #100km #blackall100 #blackall100training #TrailRunning #RunningCommunity #RunningInspiration #RunnersOfInstagram #RunHappy #TrailRunningBrisbane #BrisbaneTrails #MountainRunning #ForestTrail #DesertRunning #RockyTrails #TechnicalTrails #NeverStopExploring #EnduranceAthlete #RunTheWorld #ChasingSummits #RunWild #TrailLife #OutdoorAdventures #TrainingForUltra #TrailTraining #TrainingMotivation #FitnessJourney @runqueensland @puresportsnutrition @maurten_official @goodr_aunz @Garmin @orangemud @altra @wildfiresports @salomon @creeperssocks

Day 44. Had my shadow followed me for the day today. He deserved a marshmallow after my workout. (His words, not mine). 15min of incline 18 on the treadmill followed by 20min on the spin bike and then 1500m on the rower. A balance session and slow stretching warm down and then the sauna. Love it. #ultras #ultrarunning #trailrunning #trails #100km #blackall100 #blackall100training #TrailRunning #RunningCommunity #RunningInspiration #RunnersOfInstagram #RunHappy #TrailRunningBrisbane #BrisbaneTrails #MountainRunning #ForestTrail #DesertRunning #RockyTrails #TechnicalTrails #NeverStopExploring #EnduranceAthlete #RunTheWorld #ChasingSummits #RunWild #TrailLife #OutdoorAdventures #TrainingForUltra #TrailTraining #TrainingMotivation #FitnessJourney @runqueensland @puresportsnutrition @maurten_official @goodr_aunz @Garmin @orangemud @altra @wildfiresports @salomon @creeperssocks

Day 52. The man you see here is the famous Jack Kirk or better known as the Dipsea Demon. The Dipsea is a trail race in Marin county California. He ran it 67 times. In this photo he was 96 years old. His famous quote which keeps me honest on those hard days, is this... "You don't stop running because you get old, you get old because you stop running." Words to live by people..... #ultras #ultrarunning #trailrunning #trails #100km #blackall100 #blackall100training #TrailRunning #RunningCommunity #RunningInspiration #RunnersOfInstagram #RunHappy #TrailRunningBrisbane #BrisbaneTrails #MountainRunning #ForestTrail #DesertRunning #RockyTrails #TechnicalTrails #NeverStopExploring #EnduranceAthlete #RunTheWorld #ChasingSummits #RunWild #TrailLife #OutdoorAdventures #TrainingForUltra #TrailTraining #TrainingMotivation #FitnessJourney @runqueensland @puresportsnutrition @maurten_official @goodr_aunz @Garmin @orangemud @altra @wildfiresports @salomon @creeperssocks
Day 54. Stretching.... Do you and when do you? This is a polarising chat. Some people swear by it and some people think it's hocus pocus. Personally I love it, but I'm biased as I'm a yoga teacher and know how it feels to be supple and also know how it feels to be like the Tin man. A supple muscle is a flexible and resilient muscle that is less prone to injury and stiffness. I never stretch before running but instead start with a walk and then build. Afterwards however is the Golden time to stretch. Give yourself at least 20min to stretch those muscles you've been using.
It's trail running day! Great time on the trails with my bud Fraser! #trailrunning #runningwithfriends #getofftheroad #technicaltrails #myhappyplace #bocogearambassador2023
