mostly, i do running projects
what’s a running project?
adventure: an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity.
that’s what a running projects is.
typically you don’t sign up for them. they’re more unmarked than marked. they’re made up routes, time constraints, or resource constraints.
if you’re doing one, maybe you’re making up miles. maybe you’re going for an FKT.
you’re definitely doing something creative and adventurous.

why? what’s the point?
cuz running is really beautiful and revealing. and when you realize you’re free to move about the world and see it by foot, that’s a freeing feeling.
the more running and ultrarunning commercialize, the more experts and resources there are to tell new folks how it’s done.
people start by thinking they need to have learned every little detail before getting they sign up for a race or run 10 miles.
they learn they should do things in a very linear and sequential order before running that 10k or going out on your local trails and learning how to find your way in the woods.
