Club Fat Ass is a grassroots sports club with a worldwide vision. Our members host trail running, triathlon, cycling and other "active lifestyle" events for fellow members. Club events are fun, physically challenging, environmentally friendly and emphasize camaraderie as much as competition. Each event is a reflection of the unique personality of the Event Host. All Club events are free to Club members. Membership is open to anyone who enjoys playing outdoors. Join us!

There's a nip in the air and night is falling a lot earlier. On the West Coast, summer came late and that was just fine with everyone who participated in the full slate of Club events this past month.
To kick off what I expect will be an interesting online debate, I'd like to clarify how I see the differences between a race, a run, and an adventure run then look at how to prepare for an adventure run.
Well, I've been fighting a calf injury all week. Chris has been working on it for me and I thought I shook it off yesterday but today it was very painful on our run. Nice easy warm up, but I could not run that well down.
Well, Friday night, sipping a glass of red wine at 11 000 feet. We actually trained pretty hard this week. Did a final 1:15:00 yesterday with a 20 minute tempo run. However, don't be fooled, at 11 000 feet running very slow gets your heart rate up to tempo rate-so no blistering pace by me.
My partner Phil had a HR of 10 beats less so his fitness somewhat better.
