Badger Mountain Challenge 100 miles Trail Running [16x 100 Miles Ultra Marathon in 16 months]

Описание: Ultra running documentary of my last race - Badger Mountain Challenge 100 miles ultramarathon, why is my 16th 100 milers trail running race in 16 months. Out-and-back 50 miles ultra trail in the Mountains of Eastern Washington. Running – or ultra running - 100 miles is never easy…what an adventure!

Does I think it’s fair to say I’m an experienced ultramarathoner by now, yet I’m always surprised by the challenge of long distance running – it’s obviously a fitness thing, but also, a mind game. You have to build up your body for this endurance sport, but also, build up your mind. I guess in a way, it’s not just “how to run 100 miles” but rather “why run 100 miles” that will get to you.

This ultramarathon in Eastern Washington mountains was no exception. Running with so much elevation is always physically challenging, event for fit athletes. But luckily, I’m not a fit athlete… I’m simply a stubborn mid-pack ultrarunner going for one more round! And what a round… For this race, the challenge was not running (although, my injuries did make that difficult too), but the REAL challenge was the condition. I don’t know the DNF rate, but I’m sure very high. The wind and the cold was something. Then you finally make it to that aid station, and guess what? … You can stay here, have a warm coco, and drop the race. …. Or… or! .. .just hear me out. You go out there, freeze your balls off, to run 5 more miles. … Yeah, I got this, no problemo! Get back to the aid station, shivering, cold to your bones after yet another ultrarunning challenge. … Get some soup. … Oh it feels good. Too bad, times up, you need to get out there again!

Trust me, stepping out of that aid station tent, leaving the warmth behind to face the dark, cold and windy ridge… that’s something. Something only REALLY stubborn people do.
