Member Highlight - Jen Schmidt
Fresh from winning Way Too Cool in early March, Jen shares her motivation, mantras and training philosophy. Read on to be inspired by Jen's kindness, craftiness (and speed of course!)
Newbies return
Your favorite DPMR event! The Newbies return on April 15th for six weeks. Let's build the stoke for the trail season, catch up with new and old friends, demo (and win!) awesome gear.
Book of the Month - Choose Strong by Sally McRae
A poignant book from ultra runner Sally McRae as she recounts her childhood and adolescence. She started running as an adult so the book isn't directly about running but there are still a lot of learning relevant to runners.
Coach's Corner - High intensity training
Coach Martin discusses the benefits of high intensity training and why you should incorporate it in your training, even if you don't race.
