I used #midjourney to visualize Pheidippides running the first marathon, as if he were a modern trail runner. they are all amazing in their own way #ultrarunning

Mic drop.

I love this guy. What a legend. It's alway good to see the old dogs giving the young guns a run for their money!

So pleased for this guy 👏🏻👊🏻💜

Leadership simplified: Hire good people. Give them the tools to succeed. Provide them the security to take calculated risks. Get out of their way. Let go of over-controlling. Support, don't thwart. Cultivate intrinsic motivation. Trust them to do their job.

Whoever though of running #BM100 next year....don't. This one suggested by dumbrunner on Insta might be even too nice for what Laz is gonna do if 7 finish this year 😂

Because #BM100 and stuff.

Filth. #BM100

Off I go now, to wait for 2025 #BM100. Looking forward to seeing what Laz does to the course following this record breaking year. I'm hopeful (and 99% certain) that 2025 reporting will remain the same. Last thing this race needs is a livestream, drones etc.
