For at least 42 miles the Miwok 100K, held last Saturday, felt like a Montrail team run! Teammate Geoff Roes took the lead and set a solid pace throughout the entire first half of this West Coast favorite. We flowed into every aid station together, ...
All the attention on the new Mountain Masochist and Hardrock shoes is well deserved. I've switched loyalties again -- I'll be wearing the Masochists at Miwok this weekend. I was sold on the Wildwoods, but the Masochists fit in a more traditional, snug, ...
I joined several Montrail folks in Cool, California last Saturday for the "Way too Cool 50K." Over 400 runners competed in what has become the kickoff for the spring ultra season. It was great to see Erik Skaden sporting our great new team apparel from ...
Before last weekend's "Swannanoa Splashdown" 15K, I winterized my Highlanders. The race climbed High Windy in Black Mountain North Carolina. Based on the weather here I thought we'd be running on snow and ice. Turned out the course was clean, if still ...

I had four years of continuous competitive ultrarunning. Now I am taking a break. The reality set in slowly. Like all my other aches and pains, I treated the problem with minor adjustments to my running schedule. I expected to train through it. I ...
The inaugural Terrapin Mountain "Marathon" was 10 days ago. It was Clark Zealand's directorial debut -- and he proved himself a true Horton protege. The primary proof was the mileage we got for our money. We covered close to 30 miles along with the ...
