The Dipsea hands out head starts by age and sex, so the fastest runner rarely wins. A 72-year-old man has taken it. So has an 8-year-old girl. The handicap is the whole point.

"Finally found a hydration vest that actually stays put! No more annoying bouncing or sloshing during my long trail runs, and the breathable mesh is a lifesaver. I can actually push my limits knowing I've got everything I need right on me." 🏃♂️⛰️
juz me & the trails
Or in this case, 250 miles.
❝Dude, you just covered 70 miles on foot. Of course it’s going to hurt.

Ended up having a double day; uphill tempo session this morning as planned. Had a look at the Ascend app later and saw what I thought was a non-running activity and it turned out to be leg strength - hiking uphill & running down 😫
I did an hour rather than 90 mins so not too bad
Bienwald, Single Trail
Trail run club day with many runners. We ran the most beautiful single trails here and had a good time.

Easy does it — 7.24k at a conversational 5:46/km through the reeds tonight. No pressure, no pace goals, just legs moving and the wetland light doing the rest. 🌿

Joined around the lake by a “just being playful” big dog, got three PBs on Strava segments I’ve been doing for years - really nice out..

Bienwald, Easy
Run club day. Three people in a same easy pace group of 5min/km. At the end one left and the remaining guy has an easy pace of 4:30min/km. He talked more than me the last 3-4 km :-).
Slightly slower run, knee a bit stiff, but I largely missed the rain & enjoyed my audiobook (suspicious death in Norfolk). That’s 8 consecutive days running so a day off tomorrow is welcome. Next run in 🇺🇸

Morning run with a friend. 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
62°F 🌧️
Hit a couple of different trails today.🌲
Started our run with thunderstorms, but thankfully the skies cleared for most of it - until the rain came back toward the end. 😅 Still a beautiful run! 💚
