Reminds me of a guy I know who was in 2nd place in a 50 mile race, but his
chondromalacia hurt so much he decided to take a break, and sat down leaning
against a tree and closed his eyes for a few minutes.
When he opened them he noticed that there was a rattlesnake about two feet
away, so he got up and got going. He finished in 2nd.

that the reality for me is I can't get away with ignoring injuries--I
end up unable to run for months, definitely not in 1st place. I was
tempted to sign up for our local ultra when I recalled a friend of
mine (another mere mortal) whose one and only try at this race ended
his running career. Kudos to those who can.

I have a friend, in her 60s, that 10 days ago ran a 100 miler, and then 4 days
later led a 14 mile hike in the mountains of Arizona. She thinks nothing of
running marathons on back to back weeekends. Last year she ran a 42 miler and
two weeks later did a 38 miler. She's crazy! The amazing part is that she is
actually a pretty well balanced person.

Periformis like a lot of "injuries" come in varying degrees. I can't
speak for Karl other than he is great ultra runner and one who has
been at it for some number of years. I stress his number of years
which means he probably has a good idea about how to stress his body
without causing irreparable harm.
This does not mean he runs all the time with pain nor should anyone
run with pain.

I know a few that did one and then never another. I'll also go out on
a limb and say the did too little, too much training and/or some major
boners race day. Stopping after one bad experience a big hairy onion
to peel but I'm willing to bet there were some very poor decisions
made.

There isn't any magic to running long. You need to understand your
strengths and respective weakness and ever so slowly strengthen your
weaknesses. I know this sounds simple but unless you have some
inherent disabilities, damn near anyone who has the desire, can run
one of these. Stop in at an ultra and look at the runners. There are
just about every body type you can imagine. It's not a gathering of
sleek bodies with 3% body fat with perfect genetics.

50k race that is next March which is sold out(500+) and there is one
female age 60. And it's an easy 50k.

Alternatively, you can write "this" which is short for "I agree with this."

That defines +1. Is there a reference table such that if someone types
-5 -12, It's a numerical screw you? ;)
M says: Alternatively, you can write "this" which is short for "I

At this rate we too will be like the kids today that resort to 99%
"texting" gobbledygook and we can't write or speak in a full
sentence . Hell, see if they can form a single verbal sentence without
using the word "like."

Phew, it took me a while to find this in my archives, but E**2 which I
pronounced "E squared" was the name of my design company, that's why I
said it brought back some memories, anyway, here is my old logo:
