Tools & insights to help you train smarter and conquer your next ultra adventure.
There is a club called the 100×100 — those who have run 100 hundred-mile races. Having completed my 10th, I crossed the 10% mark. The issue: if I kept the same trajectory, I'll be 80 by the time I get there. I have had a change of heart. I have a new goal: 100 People, 100 Ultras — what I'm calling my "sole purpose," pun intended (and a nod to one of my favorite bands, The Bouncing Souls).
Running is a way to transform; it's the challenge, the quest — you against the course. I believe getting others to their destinations offers far more personal growth than blindly chasing races for my own record. 100 connections. 100 stories. 100 problems to solve. To guide 100 people to a stronger, more resilient version of themselves.
To reach that goal, I needed better tools — and so do you. UltraRunTools.com was built to give every runner access to the kind of data-driven analysis that was previously locked behind expensive coaching software. Upload your workout, and instantly see your pace, heart rate zones, elevation, splits, cardiac drift, power metrics, and more — all organized to help you train smarter and understand what your body is telling you.
