Your Ultra-Training Bag of Tricks: The Difficult Art of Peaking

 Greg McMillan, my mentor, has devised a set of rules to live by as race day approaches. Greg explains, “By studying peak performance research – both physiological as well as psychological – as opposed to just the tapering research, I’ve been able to dial in how to truly peak on race day. It works for all athletes no matter where you find yourself in the pack come race day.” By placing Greg’s simple and effective system into context, let’s get you prepared for your next ultra.

A Few Clarifications from a Sub-3:00 Marathoner | Remy's World


For both of you who haven't heard, the gist is that Mr. Ryan, the Republican nominee for vice president of the United States, erred when he casually told a radio interviewer that he used to "run marathons" and that his personal best time was "Under three [hours], high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something." (Adding, for good measure: "I was fast when I was younger, yeah.")
In fact, as Scott Douglas and the rest of our Newswire team discovered through some tenacious digging, Mr. Ryan has not run marathons, plural. He ran one marathon, in 1990. And it wasn't under three hours or even under four. It was a 4:01:25.
Oops.
