I’m grateful for the opportunity to share Howie Stern’s perspective on how he got the now-iconic shot of Jasmin Paris finishing. His interview is raw & full of heart. #bm100 @keithdunn

Getting stoked for @hardrock100 in 2 weeks? Here’s a piece of history about it to enhance appreciation for the event’s origins. #hardrock100 #hr100 sarahrunning.substack.com/p/…
These @semi_rad stories are great! Thx Brendan. The only similar thing I can share is I left my trekking poles trailside & our community radio announced it on a lost&found segment, and immediately someone who found them got them back to me. semi-rad.com/2023/06/unlikel…
Some @wser stories from farther back in the pack, with tips on crewing & pacing when the going gets tough and your runner dry heaves like a sick lion half moaning, half roaring. #ws100 sarahrunning.substack.com/p/…
This week’s post has a whole lotta history, links & love for @wser. #wser #ws100

I found out that Twitter is blocking @substack so I want to see if I can share a recent post of mine here. I've pretty much given up on Twitter & look forward to #Substack Notes. sarahrunning.substack.com/p/…

Two very different DNFs over the last 16 years of running ultras resulted from not caring enough and caring too much. @sarahrunning reflects on these two DNFs, how important mental and physical balance can be, and a slice of humor added for good fun.

Had seen all the docs. Read most of the articles. Nothing could have prepared me for the Barkley experience. What an amazing race. #BM100

I absolutely love this @michaelpollan-inspired advice on running from @sarahrunning in @trailrunnermag - Run regularly. Not too fast. Mostly trails. #runchat

One takeaway from this story: Don't underestimate the power & skill of women over 50, especially when they're together. @substack

Thx to @semi_rad I contemplated what went wrong on my run & wrote this list. Also thx to @ajoneswilkins I thought about why a 40M week feels good & right. This week's post on mishaps & training: sarahrunning.substack.com/p/…

❝Chances are, whatever it is [that’s right in front of me], on some level it’s beautiful or impressive or in some way deserving of gratitude, love, and respect. Or, at the very least, it’s interesting in its own way.

For the latest issue of Telluride Magazine, I wrote about "a skier's rodeo"—a scene & sport I'd like to try with my horses. Check out skijoring! #telluride #adventure @GetOutsideMedia telluridemagazine.com/a-skie…

This is an important doc film to watch for anyone who cares about #Colorado, #hiking & the #environment. Great reporting about 14ers & how to manage the impacts of the Instagram-fueled peak-bagging popularity.
I am excited to announce my documentary, "The Alpine Amusement Park," is now available to watch on @substack. (below)
Hello Twitter, I'm hardly ever here & the algorithm makes it such that hardly anyone sees my rare tweets, so I started a chat on my @substack newsletter. sarahrunning.substack.com/p/… And thank you @hamishmckenzie for your recent commentary on Twitter.
Best thing to read this Sunday. Really made me think about the power of running, my privileged/peaceful life, & the upsides to the backyard ultra craze @keithdunn. Thx @DbJared @nytimes #StandWithUkraine️ #ultrarunning
