Just the casual back yard race where you challenge your buddy to race to the fence. You might get that kind of feeling at a back yard ultra. The format is simple really. One loop is 4.167 miles, you start every hour, you run one loop, and as long as you're back in the starting corral before the next hour starts, you keep on continuing until you are the "last man or woman standing". Everyone else is a looser who DNF'd. Sounds exciting doesn't it...go find one near you today and let us know all about it!

Nobody likes injuries and some runners do NOT deal with them well at all. It's time to talk more on what we should and can do to help and we're using our favorite guinea pig to discuss this further. Mitch is throwing himself on the sword and even making a little fun of himself as we dive into why he just can't get healed up.

Maybe you can relate? Tell us all about it, we would love to hear as they say, misery loves company.
