I started running the way most people start things — badly, late at night, after promising myself I'd "begin tomorrow." A few hundred kilometres later, I'm still going. Not fast every day. Not graceful every day. But out the door, before the world wakes up, more days than not.
This site is the long-form version of that habit. Race recaps, training notes, the audiobooks getting me through 25 km, and the mindset shifts that quietly do the heaviest lifting. If you're somewhere on the spectrum from "thinking about it" to "training for it," there should be something here for you.
When I'm not logging early-morning km, I'm sipping overly-fancy coffee, devouring books (currently deep in Krondor: The Betrayal by Raymond E. Feist). I really enjoy Raymond E. Feist's work. So far, I have read through:
The Psychology of Money — Morgan Housel. (Up next: Thinking, Fast and Slow, on heavy rotation through every long run.)
Kygo's "Firestone" for the get-out-the-door build. Anything with a steady BPM around 175 once the run actually starts.
A short fortnightly note: the workout that worked, the recovery that didn't, the audiobook on rotation. No spam.
