TAHOE 200 - Kelsey McGill - Alpenglow Endurance, LLC is a total bad a**!

I had the pleasure of crewing and pacing this chick right here!

Kelsey, you are a total inspiration. Watching you complete this run with grace and strength was truly incredible.

Until the next one! 😘🤍

Mount to Coast

UltrAspire

Pretty sure they are real.

i’ve heard of money being left on the ground, laced with fentanyl. The person waits for someone to come pick it up….

I was pre-skeptical at first looking around, but I’m pretty sure these are actually real hundred dollar bills.

60 minute recovery run returned home $200 richer lol

It was a hot one.

Here’s what I did:
- wear an ice bandana
- kept my sleeves wet
- had 200g of carbs
- 3L of water
- 3000mg of sodium

But I never:
- looked at my watch
- or ran faster than endurance

Seriously, never looked at my watch.
Learning how to tune into your body is the biggest superpower.

We took a trip for our anniversary to NYC this year!

We did sooo any things, a lot of which we didn’t take pictures of but here are some!

Here’s to another year and another adventure with

Trail runs.

Sunrises, sunsets.

Chef-prepared food.

Big adventures.

And a few days with people who love the trails as much as you do.

Comment RETREAT if you want the details.

Save and share.

Recovery is after a long ultra
Here’s what you need to know.

Give your self WEEKS before jumping back into volume and intensity.

You’ve asked for a recap of the race, I’m still processing.

Will be making a full recap but in the meantime..

Here are some of my favorites from Sedona Canyons 125


📸:

Did I have a good race? No.
We all have off days, off races.

Did I want to give up? Yes.
Every step was a fight on day 2.

Did I go back and finish what I started? Hell yeah I did.
The race wasn’t what I have envisioned, and it mentally destroyed me on the second day. Things feel apart early on, and it spiraled and spiraled until I had to step off the course to reset.

There was no way I was going to drop if I still had time on the clock.
I slept for 8 hours. Woke up and went back out on the course.

The last 50k was a blast, getting to run with all the 40milers was a blast and I was feeding off their energy.

Not the race I wanted but a race I am proud to have finished.

Work with us. We are athletes and coaches. We are in the grind just like you.

What do you have to lose?

It has (almost) nothing to do with looks.

The real reason I strength train every week is because of how it changes the way I navigate trails.

I am able to take more ‘risks’ bombing downhills.

I’m able to run hard and recover faster.

I build the mental strength of sitting in the discomfort.

But mostly, there’s something about doing a hard physical thing consistently (outside of running) that quietly raises the standard for what you’re willing to tolerate in every other area of your life.

I am more disciplined with my sleep, more intentional with what I eat, and somehow, more consistent with the boring life admin I used to put off for weeks.

Cancún for the start of the taper, yes please!

Cancún actually came at a perfect time. Just over 2 weeks out from Sedona Canyons 125 ( races), my training started to back off in intensity.

I stayed on the main resort strip of Cancun, so the running path felt safe to run each day (thank god!) I would have ran on the treadmill but I’m so glad I didn’t have to.

Here have been the runs:
Thursday: Rest
Friday: 1:45:00 at Endurance
Saturday: 1:15:00 with 20min @ Steady State
Sunday: 1:30:00 at Endurance
Monday: Rest day
Tuesday: 1:00:00 at Recovery

No strength these last couple weeks - tapering to be ready to go May 6th!

I’m feeling strong and ready to RACE! LFG!
