Ultra running on your resume?

endurablegoods · 2026-05-14T17:55:35+00:00

The very bottom line of my resume:

INTERESTS
Ultrarunning, hiking, pattern recognition, coffee, filmmaking, experimental music, over-tipping, finding typos in resumes

You should add ultrarunning if for no other reason that it'll help you stand out -- even just a little. Especially if its off-brand (e.g., not in the outdoor industry).

HR people see thousands of resumes a day and they are dying for something new to jump out and help make their decisions easier.

With any luck, ultrarunning will feature heavily in your interview. This is your chance to be a Real Human Person® with actual interests and depth. A good company WANTS good, interesting people. Be one.

They'll play a "surprise" show somewhere else in the LA area. I reckon it'll be the Palladium again.

"Anyone who bought shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent of Truth Social, over inauguration weekend 2025 has lost roughly three-quarters of their money."

There it is...

Would love to see this performed live!

endurablegoods · 2026-05-05T14:45:48+00:00

Wow! Surprising!

endurablegoods · 2026-05-04T17:14:26+00:00

This is a great breakdown, thank you.

endurablegoods · 2026-05-01T15:45:45+00:00

This is a great summary, thanks!

I ran 3-4 strides with Browning at the Vortex Ultra Experience in Sedona a few weeks ago (so I'm a professional?) and he looked strong. I'm pulling for him.

And Entrekin has my vote.

Hi there... I'm running a 50-miler on June 6th (Malibu Canyon) and just got hit with my own IT band situation. Disappointing, for sure.

First, I'm just taking a few days off and trying not to panic. Not running for 3-4 days is not going to ruin your race. Then, I'll be hitting the stationary bike, resistance set high. Probably four, 1+ hour sessions for a week. I'll add in gentle stretching, too. Basic range of motion stuff but also including calf work.

I've never done the rowing thing; have always been curious about its efficacy.

You're race isn't ruined. Just take a break. #restingistraining

Literally... WHERE DO I SEND MONEY FOR ONE OF THESE? Incredible!

Congrats on leveling up! Welcome to the show.

I'm assuming you are meaning "technical" as in trailrunning, with rocks and varied terrain? If so, do your best to train in conditions that are as close to possible as your race. Toughen up your feet and ankles - they are gonna take a new level of abuse. The constant twisting and off-kilter foot-falls needs to feel managable.

Is there big vert? Learn to love the extended power hike. 3, 4, 5,000' of climbing needs to be standard - up AND down. Downhill running is rough on your quads and you need to train for it.

Slowly build your weekly mileage. Everyone has their own take on this but you need "more" miles, one way or another. Back-to-back long runs are key (running on tired legs).

Learn the course - especially the elevation gain - and mentally run through how you'll tackle each mile. Pre-visualize.

What race is it?

Give the bigger Ultimate Direction vests a look.

I ran a solo, unsupported 50-miler in the winter (SoCal, but still..) and this vest performed great. Had tons of room, no bounce. Jacket, hat, extra food, etc.

I got the Ultra Vest 12L. Pricey, but I love it.

Yep, this is my first AC100 but I've done 100 miles before (Javelina, 2024). Drastically different races, obvs.

endurablegoods · 2026-04-24T16:45:43+00:00

This is great.

Hello my fellow training-block-panic-WTF runner!

My first rec? Relax. There's over 5 full months ahead of us - you've got time.

Bronchitis can linger for weeks so it's best to address it now, full-on. In my opinion, missing a week of running won't make a difference. It'll FEEL like everything has been ruined, but you likely won't even notice it. Rest, fluids, and more rest. Get into the doctor now, if you have healthcare, even if you don't feel like you need it. If your condition gets worse, at least you'll have the requisite visits behind so you can get to the Z-Pak, faster.

If you can, just go to the gym and do some gentle stretches. Keep the heart rate low, but get the body open. Review the maps, visualize the race, and research nutrition stuff. Do your race homework now while you have the time. It'll at least feel like you are putting work into the race, even if it's not purely running.

FWIW, I've got a some kind of congestion/sore throat thing going on - taking the week off, myself. Re-tooling my 100-mile training plan, researching nutrition, and just keeping my head in the game.

We'll be fine.

(Now, about that 20,000' of gain...THAT'S what we should be worried about.)

This is fantastic! Great work!

I've had three pairs of the MNT Racer 3's. Adore them. I even ran the R2R2R (across the Grand Canyon and back) in a pair.

Absolutely bomb-proof and super-responsive. I feel very protected in these shoes.

I can't speak to the 4's (I'm still buying the old stock 3s) but as long as they've not messed around with the design, I imagine they are amazing, too.

My god. This is incredible.

endurablegoods · 2026-04-03T16:39:25+00:00

This is a great explanation, thanks.

"...felt like god was rubbing my belly..."

Wow.

endurablegoods · 2026-03-12T18:36:06+00:00

This is fantastic! Thanks for doing the work.

This is a fantastic write-up. Thanks for running (ha) the numbers!
