New Year YES , Same ole Crushing the BIG RUN WEEKENDS.... YES!!! Welcome to 2026 and Episode: 21 of Eat Cake Run Clubs BIG RUN WEEKEND. We are proud to say the we have the 20 mile bomb 💣💥 Run Streak up to 10 weeks which is an Eat Cake Run club record! Well it make it to 11? " WE SHALL SEE" Remember that BIG RUN WEEKEND is not about a certain distance or certain pace, it is about getting out there and doing the hard things. Sometimes it is a massive long run, or a blazing fast pace, sometimes it is just getting out the door for a mile. ALL OF THEM COUNT! *Read that last part again* So as we look at the NEW START to the year, this is a GREAT TIME to build the foundation of what this year could be. We have 52 BIG RUN WEEKENDS this year and this is the first. What we do this weekend will be a major part of the tone we have for the other 51 BRW's. Find a way to GO BIG. THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME FOR IT! LETS GOOOOOOO! V

Welcome to 2026. I can't believe it's already here. To tell you the truth, what an epic 2025 it has been.I think for Cake Run Club the most important thing that has happened in 2025 is that Eat Cake Run Club was officially established 2025. From the fourth 4QC that we just finished to the ECRC Goggins 4x4x48. Epic things from marathons to ultra marathons to huge BRW runs! We have shown up in 2025 in a way that I never thought was possible. And it's all because of you guys. So from the bottom of my heart thank you. Here's to each and every one of you.We have built the foundation of really the best run club running right now. I encourage all of us as we go into 2026 that we all find a way to set that bar a little bit higher. What's it gonna look like for us? How big can we go? What are the big challenges? Are you ready for the next challenge.... Alexa Roulette ? February 400? add a mile? All the above... YES. Thank you all for being the best for giving more than taking, for walking the walk and not just talking the talk. Here is to all of you, and wishing you the best 2026. V

I’ve discovered that I want to be faster simply because it will make my calculations easier. I can’t be out there with an oxygen deprived brain trying to figure out running math and then try to calculate fractions. I thought I was a smart person but once I’ve been out there for however long and don’t have any more snacks and I’ve run up a hill or a human gazelle has passed me (“On your left!” 😐) I just need to be able to answer “How far? How long?” In the next gasp of air … Well. I guess if I call myself a distance runner and train for a marathon, the “smart person” comment might be up for debate …. 🤪 What is your motivation to change (if you are changing it up) your running this year? Any goals to look forward to or exciting races to put on the calendar? How can ECRC support you?
