Who else drank the Altra Koolaid only to relegate 4 pairs to their work shoe rotation? I wanted to love them on the trail… turns out I only love them in the school hallways and classrooms.

Monday Morning Conversation – What’s Your Big Run This Summer? It’s already February. Let that sink in for a second. We blink, and it’ll be July 4th. The question is — are WE going to be ready? What do you have planned for your Big Run this summer? Is it a marathon? An ultra? A triathlon? A destination race? Your first 5K? A comeback season? Or maybe something that scares you just enough to make your heart beat a little faster when you think about it? Drop it in the comments. Claim it. Say it out loud. SO, What is the Plan? If you have a big run on the calendar, tell us: - What race or challenge are you training for? - Are you following a structured training plan? - How many weeks out are you? - What’s your biggest hurdle right now — endurance, pace, consistency, recovery, mindset? And most importantly — what are you doing to stay motivated? The truth is … motivation fades. It’s discipline, routine, and community that carry us through the cold mornings and the tired legs. What habits are you building right now that July-you will thank you for? Are you strength training? Dialing in nutrition? Prioritizing sleep? Getting your long runs done no matter what? Most important is... How Can We Support You? Eat Cake Run Club isn’t just about logging miles. It’s about showing up for each other. Tell us how we can support you: - Do you need accountability? - Pace partners? - Long run encouragement? - Nutrition advice? - Someone to remind you that you’re capable on the hard days? We want to celebrate your milestones. Your first 10-miler. Your longest week ever. Your breakthrough run. Your race-day PR. Let’s make noise for each other. And If You Don’t Have a Big Run Planned… It’s not too late. Seriously. February is the launch pad. There is plenty of time to build. Plenty of time to get stronger. Plenty of time to surprise yourself. You don’t need to be “ready” to start — you just need to start. Pick something that stretches you. Something that requires growth. Something that makes you commit.

LETS GOOOOO!!! It is finally here.... The 2025 ECRC GOGGINS 4X 4X 48 Run Challenge. Ok here is the challenge... The goal is to run 4 miles every 4 hours for a total of 48 hours. ( yes that means some night ops runs are included) We will be starting on December 19th in the afternoon (which is a Friday) so the challenge can be completed by Sunday afternoon December 21st. It is hard to get us all on the same time rhythm with all of us in different times zones. It would be amazing if we can all do it at the same times but if that doest work out just know you are not doing it alone. we still need you and chances are some one will be on your same rhythm with you. @Vincent McGee will be starting the first round on Friday December 19th at 4:00pm pacific time and @Allie Griffin who is in centeral standard time will be starting at 6:00pm. If one of those times work to get in rhythm with us AMAZING but if you need to have a different time to start on that day, just let the group know and others might match you with you because it fits their schedule better too. I will be going live on here and instagram each round and would love to include all of you it. We have done this before and it really is cool connecting with everyone as they finish their rounds too. So we have 9 days to get ready for this. I will be sure to keep updating and adding information as we get closer to the start date. This one is fun and as a runner a for sure "bucket list" challenge you will not regret! Can't wait to do this will you all! V PS: @Leo Raymond said, "what would even make this a cooler challenge is doing it with a weighted vest." I know he is Cray cary riiight 👀

This is going to be a large community in time, But since we are still small and this seems manageable for now ( and we will do all the we can to keep it current and active as we grow) However, I wanted to put on the community calendar all the "races" or big runs that you have coming up or that you are training for.... It will be 1. Fun to see if any of us are going to be running the same events. ( I know couple of us already are) 2. We want to support the heck out of you and cheer you on everyday and every step. Do you have to no..... But it would be cool if you did.
