Think you can't run an ultra-marathon? Well, think again.Maybe your limitations aren't what you imagine them to be.I just had a great chat with ultra-runners, Jonathan Sinclair and Melissa Gosse that I know you'll love, whether you ever plan to run an ultra or not.Watch the webinar and you'll learn: Do you need to do 100s of miles per week to train? What's the roll of cross-training? How much of distance running is physical vs. mental How do you deal with the mental challenges of ultra-running What diet Mel and Jon have found that helps with their training and recovery Why they run in Xero Shoes (and when they don't!) The value of barefoot running... at any distance ... and a LOT more Share what you think of this interview in your comments, below.

Barefoot Jason Robillard has done it again, running 2/3 of a 100 mile race in his Xero Shoes.But this time, he's got some extra fashion sense added:Now, some of you may know that I'm a sprinter. In fact, I ran "long-distance" at a meet last week when I did my first 200m race (and, for the sake of bragging, even though I totally lost it at the end, my time of 25.7 ain't bad for a 48 year old... I think I can get below 24 with a bit of work).So, to read Jason's great post about training for and running an ultra was just amazing to me.Enjoy it here: Burning River 100 mile Endurance Race Report by Jason Robillard
