Howdy folks and welcome to Ultrarunning Resource! We’re here to provide with you with the best ultrarunning content we can so you can get better, run faster, and have more fun. We’ve got a ton of ideas and some great stuff in store for you, so be sure to keep an eye out here, or subscribe to the RSS feed or the email newsletter so you’ll always know what’s going on. Here’s the kind of stuff you can expect in the coming days, weeks, and months:

  • Running Tips and Advice - Ways to run faster, longer, and stronger. We’ll cover small things, big things, and everything in between. No topic or question has escaped our steel-trap minds. We’ll cover nutrition, running styles, training tips, race strategy and more.
  • Gear Reviews - Your gear is very important, so it’s important to get the best gear you can. We’ll give you the head’s up on shoes, shorts, water bottles, etc… We’ll use it, abuse it, beat it up, then tell you how it held up. We’ll also rate it, so you can tell if it’s a ‘go’ or a ‘no’ at a glance.
  • Trail Reviews - We love finding new places to run. In fact, it’s almost like an obsession. So, each time we go somewhere new, we’ll let you know about it. We’ll write it up, review it, and give you the rundown on the stats as best we can (stuff like elevation gain, altitude, length, etc…). But, we also know it’s hard to get the feel of a trail just by reading about it, and we don’t want you to waste your time going somewhere you won’t like, so we’re gonna do you one better. We’ll be taking our video cameras with us when we hit the trails, so you can see exactly what it’s like. We’ll mark things like splits and intersections so you’ll be able to know exactly what to look for, show you interesting things along the trails, and point out the great views. Not only that, but this way we’ll have some documentation when we get eaten by a bear. You wouldn’t want to miss that would you? It’ll be just like being there! (OK, so maybe not quite, but it’ll still be awesome!)
  • Race Reports - After a race, while we’re sitting in an ice bath drinking Ensure, we’ll whip out the laptops and get to work telling you know how it was. We’ll also show you other people who have done the same so you can get all different perspectives.
  • Lots of other awesome, mind-blowing stuff - Like I said, we’re bursting at the seams with ideas here. There’s going to be a ton of cool stuff for you awesome people and we’re thinking of more every day, so stay tuned to find out what we’ll come up with!

We are really looking forward to getting to know you all and helping you run faster and get better. We’re going to have a ton of fun and we want you to, too. Leave a comment. We’ll respond, I promise. And we’ll get to know you better that way.

Got something you’d like us to talk about? Got some ideas of other things you’d like to see here? Let us know in the comments. We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
