My 90 Days of Natural Running

Ean Jackson — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:44:25 +0000

No, I am not planning to run naked for the next 90 days...

Something has to budge. I refuse to acknowledge that the wear and tear of 105 ultramarathons is why my knees hurt. It has to be my shoes. It looks like the one extreme of running barefoot has moved far enough toward the other extreme of running in climbing boots for me to try something a bit different.

"Natural running" is the term that is gaining ground on "barefoot running". This mostly because "natural running" accepts that shoes are not our enemies.

Great Peak Ascent

Late July is a perfect time for a run in the mountains on Vancouver's north shore. The weather is generally excellent, the snow is generally gone and the trails are generally mud-free. The only challenge is picking a trail and running it!

Ultrarunning vs. Triathlons

When asked, "What's your favorite sport?", I always have to stop and think about the question.

I love sliding on snow in all of its forms (downhill, cross-country, back-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowboarding.) If I could do anything I darn-well pleased and money was no object, it would surely be descending steep slopes of deep, dry, untracked powder on a sunny, sub-zero day. Unfortunately, heli-skiing and cat-skiing are more addictive and expensive than crack, so I don't do them that often.

The Choirboy Circuit

During our 10.5 hour baggage expedition yesterday, David Crerar, Simon Cowell and I had lots of time to ponder things. The route we had chosen was new to the Bagger Challenge. "What will we call it?" I asked, assuming that, if we were successful, this route would become a classic.

Many names were p

Why Run 100s?

"What in God's name would motivate anyone to even think about running 100-miles," a work colleague asked late Friday when I shared my weekend plans with her.

The Cypress Sweep

In the interest of maximizing the bagging pleasure in the most efficient manner, Ran, Wade and I would like to contribute this six-hour four-Bagger for your consideration.

Here's the big picture:

Peaks: MAR, UNN (See Howe Sound Crest/Brittania Range) and HOL, STR (Cypress Group.) May also want to include BLA for a 5-Bagger.

Background

Last year during the 2009 Bagger Challenge, I found myself outsmarted by friends and foes who were more efficient with the way they invested their bagging time and energy.
