Run Until I Die

Race Report: 2013 Yakima Skyline 50k…Ouch!

Chase — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 17:42:03 +0000

WARNING: This race report gets a bit gushy and sentimental so if you aren’t in the mood for a rah-rah story, check out now. What can I say about this race… First, looking back on it, it was probably one of my favorite ultra running experiences. I hadn’t raced an “ultra” since July of 2012 [...]

Anton Krupicka’s New Running Film Sneak Peak: In the High Country

Chase — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 20:12:25 +0000

This trailer was just posted up on Anton’s blog. Looks really really cool. Someday I’d like to make it out to Colorado just to run on some of these peaks…let’s face it, I just wanna be like Anton…who doesn’t? Can’t wait for the weather to turn so I can get up into my own High [...]

My Training: Week in Review – Feb. 10th-17th

Chase — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:14:19 +0000

Sunday: Ran from home in Rattlesnake down to campus, upriver on Kim Williams, veered up on Hellgate Canyon Trail up to saddle, headed east to University Summit, backtracked to saddle, then up to Sentinel Summit, down the front side to campus, then back home up Rattlsnake. Felt pretty good. Tough going in the snow but [...]

Plantar Fasciitis: Most Common Runner Injury

Chase — Fri, 08 Feb 2013 18:05:47 +0000

If you have been running for any length of time it is likely that you have come up against this behemoth of a runner’s injury. When I worked at a retail running store this was by far the most complained about injury. It’s a pesky little beast that if not dealt with properly can lead [...]

My Training: Week in Review – Jan. 27th – Feb. 2

Chase — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 15:35:00 +0000

This week started out a bit precarious. The morning after my last run up Sentinel with Nikki and Ander I began to experience some pain just below the ankle of my right foot. I’m pretty sure it is the peroneal tendon that runs from the outside of your lower calf, down around the ankle, and [...]

Gear Review: Sketchers GoRun Ride Running Shoes

Chase — Fri, 01 Feb 2013 19:22:14 +0000

The best thing that Sketchers ever did was sign Meb Keflezighi. It was totally out of the blue. I remember the buzz a few years back that the 2004 Olympic silver medalist in the marathon was without a shoe sponsor! That was unheard of and there was speculation that his previous sponsor, Nike, was just [...]

My Training: Week in Review – Jan. 20th-26th

Chase — Sun, 27 Jan 2013 21:00:27 +0000

Sunday: Easy run with Nikki up in Waterworks. We started at the Orange Street dead-end trailhead. Climbed up some icy trail to the highest point, then descended the front. Nice little loop. Beautiful blue skies. We were appreciating Missoula and Montana during this run. We have it pretty dang good here. Run: 41:07 Distance: 4.1 [...]
