A Love Letter to My Routine

My Journey to Recovery

At the end of every day, I would take my favorite drink, tequila straight up in a large shotglass. There was no need to put anything else with it. I would pull it out of the freezer with ice crystals still glistening on the sides of the bottle as soon as I got home. I would think about this drink all day. I gently poured the booze in a shot glass as I tried to savor this moment but without hesitation, tossed it in my mouth. I couldn’t wait for this.

5 Ways to Build a Resilient Backcountry Body

I am frequently asked about the best way to train for a thru-hike. While training is important, there is no protocol that will prepare you to hike 8+ hours a day, day after day. However, what you can do is prepare your body to handle that volume of effort. In essence you’re building a resilient body that is well-equipped to adapt to the rigorous demands of a long-distance hike. Even if a thru-hike is not in your future, these strategies promote overall health and ability to adapt to the stressors of everyday life as well.

Race Plan and Prep

You put in the work getting your fitness ready to take on an ultra, why wouldn’t you do the same to prep your mind? Taking the time to create a race plan and do the necessary background research can provide you with the mental fortitude to not only execute a strong race but also navigate the unexpected. Understanding the big picture of a race and putting it in a personalized context will also help you stay confident in yourself, the journey, and the decision-making process that will take place throughout the day. The goal of this article is to share some tips and tricks for putting a race plan together, including some of the key pieces of information to include as well as the background research necessary to create this document.
