And so it begins…..🏃‍♀️‍➡️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️‍➡️

The Barkley Marathons conch shell has been blown and the race started at 6am central time.

This is the earliest edition of the race but runners look to be escaping the worst the winter could throw at Frozen Head State Park. Cold rain Sunday is likely but otherwise unseasonably warm for February.

I loved racing Barkley three times. It’s a total test of the human spirit. Running straight down steep mountains, off trail, in the dark, through thorns to locate a book from the opposite direction is hard in every way possible. It’s like no other race on the planet. I’ll be enjoying the warmth of the Austin Marathon but sending good wishes to friends and fellow Barkers in Tennessee.

Runners are redlining up and down steep mountain climbs and descents of 2,000+ feet, feeling the exhilaration of finding the hidden books, ripping out the page that corresponds to their bin number. Carl & Laz have certainly dreamed up a gauntlet that will test the mind, body and spirit of any battle hungry runner. Follow Keith Dunn on Twitter or BlueSky as the adventure unfolds.

It was extraordinary to see Jasmine Paris finish by a mere 99 seconds remaining out of 60 hours after an incredible push her final lap in 2024. Believe!

Go get it Barkers!⛰️

When you crank up training for an event, your recovery needs to level up too 💪

Sports massage isn’t a luxury—it’s part of the work. As mileage, intensity, and load increase, your muscles take more stress. Regular sports massage helps:

🚀 Improve recovery between sessions

🧵 Reduce tightness and muscle imbalances

🩸 Boost circulation and mobility

🛡️ Lower injury risk before small niggles become big problems

And let’s be honest… training hard is already tough enough without this never-ending rain 🌧️😩 Cold, wet sessions make muscles tighten up faster, motivation dip, and recovery even more important.

Train hard, recover smarter—even when the weather is doing its worst. Your body adapts between workouts, not just during them, and sports massage helps keep you moving well all the way to race day 🏁
