Used my residual mountain running fitness to race the classic Cranmore Mountain Race last weekend (its 39th edition!).

I finished first loser, just 0.05 seconds behind @david.a.sinclair.92 , after one of the coolest late-race battles I’ve ever had. This is what mountain racing is all about!

After months of structured training, with plenty of intensity sessions and controlled recovery days, I’m now craving long days in the mountains. Over the next few weeks, I’m looking forward to taking advantage of my favourite late-fall conditions and doing lots of slow jogging in the woods.

This might set me up for a longer race to close out the season, or it might not, if my body says no. Either way, it’ll be fun to switch things up a little.

Thanks to @pkrunswithdogs @tomhooper603 @marathonsports_trail for putting up this great event!

The @kismetcliffrun is always a challenge but in today’s rain, there was next level type 2 fun to be had. Congrats to all who competed! Here are some quick selects from today’s photos to keep you interested while I work through the edit and get you a full gallery in a day or two. Great job @tomhooper603 and his tribe on making this a great one!

Kismet Cliff Skyrace for @skyrunner__usa final tomorrow!! We’re going straight UP some real east coast tech and I’m so excited to just run and crawl and bomb down some new mountains… and mostly grateful for the opportunity to do what I love out there. YEW ❤️ a big chef’s kiss for this terrain!

Life has been a little (too) busy/wild lately and I am finding myself feeling just so happy and relaxed to be here doing what I know, amidst navigating life things I know less well 😝❤️
What a wonder a little taste of perspective gives you!!

Euro tour ‘26!

Spent five good weeks running around in the Alps, glacier gazing, and hanging around Chamonix during UTMB week.

I was able to snag a win at ETC before watching some inspirational performances in the longer races. Gets me fired up to come back and give OCC a crack next year!

“Finishing a route and recognizing that you are more capable than you were a few years ago creates a unique sense of satisfaction. I’m grateful for the knowledge that there is still so much left to learn.”
