Hey Friend

Last weekend, I ran a 100-mile race 4 hours and 58 minutes faster than my previous best.

The secret wasn’t that I suddenly got faster. It wasn’t a new shoe, a special gel, or perfect weather.

It was the format of the race!

The backyard ultra is a race where every runner starts a 4.167-mile loop every hour, on the hour. No big surges. No chasing splits. Just a relentless rhythm—and the energy of others toeing the line with you again and again.

100 miles

That rhythm, and that community, pulled more out of me than I thought possible.

It’s the same in life and work:

If you want to go fast—go alone.

But if you want to go far, you go together

It’s not about the SETBACK, it’s about the COMEBACK
