<p>Brianne, you have run the Peak three times now- that is awesome. This year I ran it for the first and last time- got it off my bucket list! Those who do it more than once I am in awe of. Regarding your leg cramping. Where in your legs do you cramp? The fix may be your running form. Does it happen only when you have long runs uphill? Or do you get the same cramping for any run of duration? Do you run with your knees or feet? How do you plant your feet- mid foot or heel? Do you plant your…</p>
<p>Brianne, you have run the Peak three times now- that is awesome. This year I ran it for the first and last time- got it off my bucket list! Those who do it more than once I am in awe of. Regarding your leg cramping. Where in your legs do you cramp? The fix may be your running form. Does it happen only when you have long runs uphill? Or do you get the same cramping for any run of duration? Do you run with your knees or feet? How do you plant your feet- mid foot or heel? Do you plant your feet the same when running up hill? Did you lean too much on the Peak thereby adding stress? Before trying pickle juice which may cause digestive problems think about your form- to me, form is everything in running. Hope this helps.

<p>I think you're amazing. I'd love to run together sometime, so let's keep in touch. Hopefully we can all have a reunion on the mountain next August. </p>

<p>"…a twiste alllure." yup, that pretty much sums it up. I LIKE it! Also agree with: "I don't think there is really anything that can prepare you for this beast of a race. It is hard. Period." I don't know about the rest of you but leading up to the event and all during it, especially as it wears on, I find myself wondering "Did I train enough?" "What could I have done differently?" "What should I be doing RIGHT now?" It's a beast and anyone who completes it, regardless of time, should be…</p>
<p>"…a twiste alllure." yup, that pretty much sums it up. I LIKE it! Also agree with: "I don't think there is really anything that can prepare you for this beast of a race. It is hard. Period." I don't know about the rest of you but leading up to the event and all during it, especially as it wears on, I find myself wondering "Did I train enough?" "What could I have done differently?" "What should I be doing RIGHT now?" It's a beast and anyone who completes it, regardless of time, should be damned proud.Having talked with a couple of ultra runners prior to race day, I took a salt tab every hour. I did not cramp, although I felt a little tight from time to time. Who knows? I believe that everyone has to find and/or develop their own methods because we're all different physiologically and there is no "one-size fits all," when it comes to training, fueling and running. Well done Brianne and the rest of the team.</p>
