The Thailand North Face 50k Race Video Short

March 29, 2017 By Joel Runyon Leave a Comment

the north face 50k thailand

This was hands-down, one of the most painful races I've ever run. As I mentioned in the written recap, this was one of the first races that I've taken on that I felt like was trying to physically break me. Enjoy the part of the video where I think I'll go for a PB, only to be presented with a solid dose of humility served up by reality (and a single track trail that doubled as a torture device). The Thailand North Face 50k Video Short Location: Khao ...

The Rovaniemi 66km Race

March 20, 2017 By Joel Runyon 7 Comments

First things first: This race was less of a race than it was an expedition. For starters: The temperature when I finished was -16º and it didn’t get warmer than -8º the entire day. There were entire sections of the race that I hiked knee deep through snow and some where I stepped all the way up to my hip. The aid stations were just a fire and a clipboard to sign in and out of the station. No water. No snacks. No food. Nothing. When I drank ...

Winter Swimming in Estonia

March 9, 2017 By Joel Runyon 6 Comments

When I travel, I try to find out what local people like to do and do that. I also try to maintain some of my own routines. So when I found out about “winter swimming” when I was coming through Estonia, I knew I needed to give it a shot. Estonia's tourism site describes it like this: Basically, it’s cold shower therapy 2.0 You cut a hole in the ice, then you jump in. Then, spend some times splashing around and enjoying your "swim." Simple, cold ...

The Narrabeen All Nighter Video Short

March 8, 2017 By Joel Runyon 3 Comments

Most people go out and party on new years eve. Apparently I think it's a good idea to run an ultra marathon. The Narrabeen All Nighter is a 12 hour marathon. It's 2.5km out and back course that you run as many times as possible in 12 hours. It started at 6pm New Years Eve and finished at 6am New Years Day. Here's how it went down The Narrabeen All Nighter Video (2017) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgXygA3W53M Previous Race Recaps ...

5 Schools Built! 2 More To Go – A 777 Fundraising Update

March 7, 2017 By Joel Runyon 1 Comment

777 update impossible

It’s been a while since I’ve done a 777 update on fundraising- mostly because I’ve been so deeply immersed in it. After getting derailed for a good 18 months due to injury, business and personal issues, I'm happy to report I'm back at it. In the first 6 weeks of the year, I've made huge progress on the running part of the challenge and now I've got a couple weeks coming up where I can come up for air for a bit and breathe and report back on where I'm ...
