MPF client Matt Murphy shares his story about his first marathon and it just happened to be the 2017 Cat's Tail Trail Marathon in the Catskill Mountains of New York!

Many from our group took part in the Shawnagunk Ridge Trail races, as well as the Pisgah Trail Race, the Free to Run 50, the Rocky Point 50 MTB race and an epic FKT in NH! Check it out!

MPF Athlete Evan Fineman had registered for this race as a tune up, gear check, and leg check for his upcoming Vermont 50 MTB race in 2 weeks. The distance was the same but that’s where the similarities ended…

Today was Global Running Day so we hope you had the opportunity to get outside and run around a little. Also, in our Clients in Action feature, a father & son team are in Ecuador adventuring and shared a few photos. 

Evan went back to the Vermont 50 mountain bike race for the 3rd straight year, looking for a podium finish... 

I headed up 93 Northbound in New Hampshire with Karl Loops to a seedy side road motel on a Thursday night, this began what proved to be a kick ass adventure on the 31 mile Pemi Loop.

I was tempted to not do a write up as I felt that the disappointment that I had at my race result (and season so far) would be a big drag and all negative. But I think these write ups help me race and could be cathartic moving forward.

MPF client Eric Aditya writes about his battles with injuries, mud, rain and his new training plan under the guidance of MPF coach Elizabeth Azze.

"The last time I raced the Bearscat 50 in Wawayanda I swore I wouldn't go back. I finished that race two years ago in about 6:55 or so. As you all know the memory of the pain you experience fades with time."

I just got my upgrade approved Monday to Cat 3. So I wasted no time in trying a 123 race. I hit up the Augusta Training Series A race tonight. And I was DFL.
