100 miles ✅, what's next?


Hey Reader!

Not sure if you heard but 2 weeks ago I achieved my one big running goal.

A goal I relentlessly pursued for 7 years:

100 miles.

I shared a race recap with hard-earned lessons in this post:

But the question I’ve been getting recently is, “what’s next?”

To be honest, for running goals, I don’t know.

It’s the first time I can remember where I don’t have a specific running goal.

Sure, there are some things I’d like to do:

  • Sub 40 minute 10K
  • Hardrock 100 Endurance Run
  • A last man standing backyard race

You always gotta have a list of potential goals.

But for now, I’m letting myself recover and easing back into running while giving more attention to other things in life.

Like the Running OS Course and Community I’m building.

I’m in full monk mode creating the best running course and community possible to help you crush your running goals in 2024.

But after you achieve a big goal it’s hard to know what to do next.

You feel kind of lost.

My man, David Goggins would say you’re never finished and immediately jump into the next big goal. That’s a great way to go about it.

But you don’t have to do it that way.

You can take some time to reflect on what you’ve accomplished, give some areas of your life that may have been neglected more attention, and then decide what you’re going to go after next.

There’s nothing wrong with taking a break from big running goals.

Running for running’s sake is more than enough.

And right now, the idea of traveling for shorter (half marathon to 50 mile) destination races holds a lot of appeal.

Do me a favor and reply back with your favorite races.

So I don’t have a solid answer for what’s next for my running.

But one thing is for sure, as soon as my body is ready, I’m going to…

Go for a run.

Welcome to GO FOR A RUN, the newsletter that helps you get lost... in a good way. Do you ever get tired of running the same routes every time you head out the door? Don’t get me wrong, I have a few favorite loops that I hit every week. It’s nice to go on autopilot and just enjoy the run, knowing exactly what’s coming around the corner. But sometimes, I want to see something new. There’s nothing better than finding fresh trails, stumbling upon an epic scenic overlook, or bouncing through some...

Welcome to GO FOR A RUN, the newsletter that’ll never judge you (for wearing headphones on a run). I’m no purist. To be honest, purists annoy me. You can run outside OR on a treadmill. You can run barefoot OR in whatever shoes you like You can run in the city, the woods, the mountains… wherever you want. I’m even okay if you choose not to run if you get your exercise somehow else. All good with me. And if you want to listen to something while running, go ahead and do so. Dare I say I even...

Welcome to GO FOR A RUN, the newsletter that keeps coming back. Last week, I had COVID... for the first time. It sucked. As I lay in bed for days, barely able to move, the thought of running made me even more sick to my stomach. But I survived, and as soon as I started to feel better, I began to think about my return to training. After a week of isolation in my bedroom, I was itching to get outside and hit the trails. I wanted to bust out of the gates at full speed. But that would be a big...
