Go on a “run” and chat with me, Sarah Ostaszewski, and Melissa Ostaszewski for our new monthly series called “The Monthly Long Run”, where we casually chat about our takes in the ultra world, perspectives and tips on ultrarunning, and spicy commentary on what’s going on the running world.
In this inaugural episode, we dive into Sarah’s epic win at Cocodona 250 and a look into what helped her be incredibly successful. And since Melissa was crew chief for Sarah, we get an in-depth breakdown of what it took to have a dialed crew and pacer strategy that set Sarah up for success.
We also chat about what has worked (and what hasn’t worked) for us when it comes to great crews and pacers, a look into some of the most popular summer ultras (Western States and Javelina, specifically), and casual ramblings about running.
If you want us to discuss a topic on this series, let us know and we’d love to dive into it!
Huge thank you to Sarah and Melissa for jumping on as co-hosts!
