  • My prior employer hired me as remote then had me start coming in 3x a week and the drive was ~1.5 h without traffic and 3+ with traffic. It was too much of a strain on my well-being and family life so I left. I now work fully remote and make 30% more.

    I was director level and they were putting me through hell. I found a job working with friends and it’s been stellar since leaving that shitty job. I also felt like their approach to stuff was backwards and archaic… The exec team would review PowerPoint printouts with a red pen then ask for updates… Everything printed… Insane (among other things)



  • Cardiovascularly I’m confident I’ll be fine. It’s 40 mpw plus about 3h on the bike per week. My primary concern is when my legs will start hurting due to time on feet and the course itself is moderately technical. My best guess is that I’ll feel good until about mile 70 then it will be an exercise in survival.

    I’ve done about 17 ultras (16 of those are 100k races and one 100 miler previously, but that race was about 6 years ago so I had “youth” on my side).

    I’m less concerned about finishing - aiming to finish in around 25h, but we will see. I’ll honestly be happy with a finish.


  • Currently doing about 40 now supplemented by cross training (biking). Preparing for a 100mi ultra at the end of this month. At this point I’ll be tapering and letting up on long runs and overall intensity. Looking forward to a few weeks off - been locked into this training block for the last ~6 months or so.

    Did my last real long run this past Saturday - 26 mi in a little under 4h and didn’t have much residual soreness. Just gotta do that about 4 times back to back in a few weeks.
