If I Can Run a Marathon, I Can Run 100 Miles... Right?

With my first 100-mile ultramarathon only months away, I decided to attempt a marathon to see if my training was actually working. This wasn't about setting a personal record—it was about getting an honest answer. The results completely changed how I think about marathon training, ultramarathon training, and what it will take to finish my first 100-miler. Follow my journey as I train for my first 100-mile ultramarathon, lose 50 pounds, improve my Zone 2 training, and share the setbacks, lessons, and progress along the way. If you're into running, trail running, endurance training, marathon preparation, or training for your first ultra, you're in the right place.
