about me
I was about halfway through Born to Run when I made the decision to train and run an ultramarathon. As soon as I made the decision I contacted my friends Aubyn and Kath. Kath has done a lot of ultras and some on CrossFit Endurance (CFE) training alone, and I know Aubyn was interested.
Kath told us that the Noble Canyon 50k was coming up in September and the decision was made. Aubyn and I were gonna do. I'm going to track my workouts, progress, feelings, research and more here. I'm definitely open to comments, criticisms and anything else you are willing to throw out there, so please let me know who you are in the comments and tell me why you are interested in my ultra training!
I have to put it out there that I'm going to train with a CFE & Crossfit program developed by Brian MacKenzie and Nuno Costa. I also should note that I'm definitely not in this alone, during my CrossFit workouts I have a least 1 trainer supervising me and I have 4 endurance coaches helping me with other aspects. I would not recommend doing this on your own, so if you are following my workouts unsupervised I cannot make any guarantees. Oh and I also have a great doctor and acupuncturist who know my goals and medical history to keep injuries at bay.

Ashley - I'm going to
Ashley - I'm going to register for the Noble Canyon 50k which is September 25. Ultras are usually on trails which is way cooler than running on roads!
This is awesome, I'm so
This is awesome, I'm so excited to check in and track how this process goes. Do you know when your first ultramarathon is?
(p.s. this is the first time I've ever heard of ultramarathons. you're officially my hero for training to do one!)
