SACRAMENTO ULTRA CREW

SUC Journal

Sacramento trail running, ultramarathon training, route guides, and stories from the crew.

FROM THE CREW

Trail knowledge worth keeping.

Routes

Auburn is where Sacramento trail runners learn that mileage alone does not explain what a route is going to cost.

Training

Good descending is not about throwing yourself down the trail. It is about staying relaxed enough to work with the terrain.

Race Prep

Your first 50K does not require one heroic training run. It requires enough normal weeks to make race day feel familiar.

Crew

Sacramento looks flat until you start driving east. Here is how to find the trails, pick the right route, and start running with the crew.

Race Prep

I am probably more obsessive about course recon than most coaches, but knowing the trail changes how you train and how you race.

Training

Sacramento is flat, the races are not, and that can actually produce a very good ultramarathon training week.
