Strength work for Leadville 100 💪 Over the years, I have felt judged by the research--my strength routines were limited to a few minutes at a time, while everyone was screaming at me from their Abstracts that I needed to do way more. I noticed two big problems whenever I committed to more resistance training: 1. I'd carry around soreness even after the initial adaptation window, likely corresponding to high CK levels and some background inflammation. Either way, it would reduce running economy on subsequent running training days, and every training day counts. Split squats are the ultimate offender--an exercise that I know I should be doing, but I can't without feeling like Forrest Gump after he was shot in the butt. 2. I just wouldn't do it. Oops. With lots of guessing and testing, I developed this routine, which I'd do after my easy run on Sunday (before a Monday rest day), and sometimes after my workout on Wednesday (if I felt like it): 1. Three Minute Mountain Legs, working up to 100 single-leg step-ups (I think step-ups in particular are a magic exercise for running uphill. But remember, magic is not equal to science): 2. Back squats, 2 sets of 10 (135 pounds for me, which I make look like 800 pounds in this video. The 17-year old me who played football would laugh so hard) 3. Back extensions, 2 sets of 30, engaging glutes and hamstrings 4. Single-leg calf raises, 1 set of 100 on each leg, with a 35 pound dumbbell 5. Every day, I do the 2-minute Core Snack routine 1-3 times. My core strength is one of my best attributes for ultras, and I can do the Core Snack with our toddler Leo. I also do daily band work before running (bandz a make me dance): That's it! I also foam roll and stretch daily (don't tell the researchers, but I am a tight boi and as soon as I stop stretching, I get hurt). The lesson is not to do this particular routine, but that strength training for runners can be based on individual needs. And I personally think that routines should be short and efficient for both performance (limiting breakdown) and adherence (limiting me from being a lazy little punk). Find what works for you, do it 1-2 times per week year round (on top of some daily supportive work), and don't feel the need to pursue progressive overload. It's not about getting stronger and stronger (unless you're into that sort of thing for its own sake, which I think will sacrifice some running growth). It's about supporting performance and health 🧡

Don’t believe the narrative that pregnancy destroys your body. I’m 3 month postpartum with my 4th. 205 ➡️ 157 I didn’t lose the 5lbs I wanted to this week, but I got close. I also learned that my body is still a fast responder to diet/exercise! I honestly was not expecting such a big change in my body from only 3lbs of fat loss. When I saw what I was on track to lose earlier in the week (thanks homemade turtle brownies 😒) I debated not posting a video at all. But then I started to SEE the results and well… to say they were a massive confidence boost after feeling like a whale for 3 straight months would be an understatement. I still have a ways to go though and my goal is still 5lbs per week till thanksgiving. This is to eliminate the areas I’m self-conscious about - hips, thighs, and stomach. I’m also going to get my waist back (27in) and while there are exercises that will help me cinch it in faster, it’s actually heavily dependent on my rib cage coming back down after pregnancy expanded it. It just takes time 😮‍💨 BUT! I have 2 weeks left till Thanksgiving! My goal was to weigh 145lbs by then. I think I’ll get close… I have the perfect thanksgiving outfit bought and paid for, so it’s high stakes! I’ll post a sample workout I’ve been doing this week later today in another post. It’ll be another video because I want to show anyone interested the key to building a strong core/pelvic floor and healing diastasis recti (yes mama, you can be/feel snatched again)♥️

If I was FORCED to make $20k/month with tiktok slideshows in 30 days, starting from 0, here's exactly what i would do in 20 steps: Days 1-3: Account infrastructure 1. Sign up to glitchy, pick walmart gift card rewards offer (2 min) 2. Buy 10 aged tiktok accounts off accsmarket ($15-20 total) 3. Get a US VPN running on every device — non-negotiable for US traffic targeting 4. Set up 1 phone per 3 accounts max (device cluster rule) 5. Warm all 10 accounts 72 hrs — scroll fyp 30 min/day, no posting Days 4-10: Content machine 6. Fresh research account locked to ur niche — tiktok feeds u the winners daily 7. Screenshot 50 viral slideshow frames directly from ur FYP 8. Claude writes 100 hook variations against proven patterns in 2 min 9. Gemini modifies images — "add crying face" / "make her shocked" 10. Build slideshows INSIDE the tiktok editor — adding text natively lets the algo read ur content and push it to the right ppl Days 11-20: Scale what works 11. Post 2-3 slideshows per account per day = 20-30 posts daily 12. Seed 5 comments per post within the first 15 min from spare accounts to spike engagement velocity 13. Kill any post under 500 views at 24hrs — no emotional attachment 14. Any post over 10k views = generate 20 unique variations and roll them out across every account 15. Run every variation through ffmpeg + spoof the metadata so tiktok reads each upload as fresh content Days 21-30: Automate + compound 16. Hire 2 filipino VAs at $5/hr to take over posting + comment seeding (~$400/mo) 17. Reinvest week 2 profits into 5 more aged accounts — now running 15+ 18. Build a funnelish landing page w fake testimonials above the fold to warm the click before they hit the offer 19. Cloudflare hosting so the page loads in under a second on mobile 20. By day 30 ur running 15 accounts, 30+ posts daily, fully systemized The realistic math: → 900 posts in 30 days → 3-4 of them go mega viral (3-4M views each) → At $6-8k per 1M views, one viral post = $20-30k → 3 mega virals × $25k avg = $75k+ The other 896 posts that didnt mega viral still produce mid-tier hits and steady traffic on top of that. Realistic month 1 as a beginner: $1-3k if u execute well. $5k if u get lucky with an early winning angle. Most ppl who treat it as a serious project and post daily see their first real month between months 2-3. Hooks written by AI. Images modified by AI. Posting handled by VAs. Comments seeded by VAs. Set it up once. Let it print. Comment "BLUEPRINT" and i'll send u my full tiktok slideshow blueprint. (must be following + repost)

My 2nd trip to Memphis is almost over and I’ve again really enjoyed my time here. So I felt the need to say something, especially after what LeBron said today. This city often gets a very bad rep and I’ve experienced that myself. Players shitting on it, media saying it’s dangerous, people asking me why I’d go here because I wouldn’t be safe, I’ve heard it all. All those people couldn’t be more wrong. This is a city very different from other “typical American cities”. Memphis has it’s own identity, an identity that makes it special. Memphis is a very warm and welcoming city. From the second my first trip started last year I’ve felt welcomed by the people. In the Fedexforum, on the streets, in the airport, in my hotel. My experiences have been nothing but positive. Not once have I felt unsafe or anything remotely close to it, not in my week long stay last year and also not in my almost 2 week long stay this year. Now of course every city has its weaknesses and room for improvement. And that’s where I have to give a lot of credit to the mayor and the people who run this city. Even in the year between my trips there has been clear improvement. The streets are cleaner, there’s roadwork being done and downtown is noticeably more lively compared to last year. Don’t let people who have never been here tell you what and how this city is. Memphis is a unique and beautiful city, Memphis is Memphis. I have truly loved my time here and I can’t wait to keep coming back in the future. But first one more game against Toronto tomorrow.
