🍁🍁🍁Training volume isn’t the end all be all for maximizing ultrarunning performance. I ran Upchuck 50k this past weekend and was 5 minutes off of my best time on the course. I averaged 55 miles a week leading up to that PR in 2019. My training volume in the build up towards the race this year averaged 36 miles a week. A multitude of reasons has caused my training to be less than ideal this year. The lack of typical training mileage I prefer has affected my motivation and left me consistently discouraged. Upchuck is a race that means a lot to me and was exactly what I needed to break out of my funk. Starting in August, every run had a purpose, and the focus was quality over quantity. I began to feel like myself again as a runner throughout September and October and did not let my lack of typical mileage get me down. I hit my goal of going under 5 hours this past weekend and had a great race.“I just kept running.” That was Willie’s response when I asked if he stopped to put on a jacket or poncho when it was raining hard throughout the beginning of Arkansas Traveler, his first 100 mile race. It’s as simple or complicated as we make it. Willie didn’t overthink it throughout training or on race day. He put in the work for months, kept moving until he crossed the finish line, and was always smiling. Big congrats to Willie on getting his first 100 mile finish!My happy place. #gsmnp
