The 2025 Western States 100 is quickly approaching and, once again, it’s likely to be the most competitive men’s ultrarunning field on U.S. soil this year. On June 28 and 29, the point-to-point course from Olympic Valley to Auburn, California, will see runners cover just over 100 miles with 18,000 feet of climbing and some 22,000 feet of descending on this net downhill course.

The highly anticipated Zegama-Aizkorri Marathon is one of the most exciting mountain marathons on the global calendar. In a stacked race wrought with superb tactics and gutsy running, the 2025 edition certainly didn’t disappoint. Elhousine Elazzaoui of Morocco and Sara Alonso of Spain stormed to victory in 3:43:28 and 4:27:25. The 24th edition of Zegama comes at the halfway point of the highly contested 2025 Golden Trail World Series.

On a recent weekday, I headed out at 1 a.m. for a 65-mile adventure run around New Zealand’s Lake Hawea. As I ran down deserted Highway 6, I considered what I would listen to as I passed the early morning hours. Surprisingly, I settled on David Goggins’ book “Can’t Hurt Me.”While I had downloaded the book more than half a decade earlier, I had never listened to it. Various clips of Goggins on social media suggested I wouldn’t resonate with the brash machismo he uses on those platforms.

Over a recent 12-day stretch, I ran 255 miles. I ended that stretch with a 50-kilometer training run that went as well as I could have hoped. I surged in the final hour of that run, ending with my fastest mile in weeks, if not months. The next day, an easy 3.5 miles on an oft-run route turned into one of my fastest runs, again, in weeks, despite having no intention to do so. Gosh, running just feels so damn good right now. And that’s where the potential problem lies.
