That'd be playing my cards really right! Haha. But I don't think I'm quite as fast as Jordan Hasay, unfortunately.If you play your cards right you might just be the new $6 million dollar woman and you could run faster than those Olympians.
... or not.
True. I live that sedentary life as well. I've done some running before but without coaching I permanently injured myself at the ankle. Theres definitely proper equipment you need for this sport unlike common understanding. Cant just get up and run.@Owism, I don't blame ya for not wanting to get into running for those reasons! Their lives sound much different from mine. I sit at a desk all day five days a week, am not overweight, and do little physical activity outside of working out or commuting.
Yes, but there are statistics. Some physical therapists out there might argue otherwise.@Owism, I don't blame ya for not wanting to get into running for those reasons!

Snowmass... The elevation is going to be fun! Haha. But I've gone and done races at elevation before. I did a similar race last year at 7500'. This is at 8000' with a peak at 9000'. Thankfully, my team is not competitive, so there's no pressure to run quickly. Typically when I trail run, and especially at elevation, I follow the "hike the uphill, jog the flats, and run the downhill" method. It has served me well. The biggest trick will be figuring out what one breath is worth up there, and how it corresponds to how much I push my muscles. I've been able to figure that out pretty quickly in the past, so I will be attempting to do that again this time.Where is it at? It's tough for me to do trail running in the mountains here and I live at this elevation, you must be in pretty good shape if you're coming in from out of town and hitting it
Wanna be on a team next year?congrats! I just found out my company had a team that placed 23 out of 400? on the same course (maybe I heard the total # of teams wrong) of course they didn't invite me to be on the team! (Damn skinny young people)
