Jeremiah outran me in May with an incredible 425 miles! He also outran himself and three Outrun Challenge records. He ran every day of the month, sometimes up to three times. In his relentless pursuit, he averaged 13.7 miles a day for 31 days!
He ran more than double the miles I ran, and just for perspective, I ran 210 which is the most I’ve logged in any of my losing months. He clearly established himself as the Outrun King!
Jeremiah’s Highlights:
- 5/1-2, starts the month with back-to-back 27 milers and takes an immediate, dominating lead.
- 5/8, Jeremiah ups his version of #iRunWithMaud from 2.23 miles to 22.3.
- 5/8-10, runs back-to-back-to-back 20 mile runs - his second 100k weekend.
- 5/16, Jeremiah and I cross paths with our weekend runs at Wyco, and he invites me to run the last mile with him.
- 5/18-24, runs 101.6 miles for the week.
- 5/22, breaks Morgan’s record of being 125 miles ahead of me.
- 5/23, breaks his personal record of 336 miles in a month.
- 5/24, breaks Peter’s record of 350 miles as the most miles by an Outrun Challenger. Beats my record of 354 miles in the Outrun Challenge.
What impressed me most in competing against Jeremiah, was his ideal balance of positive confidence and witty trash talking. He made his overwhelming win look fun and effortless, but don’t be fooled by his disarming smile and easy-going demeanor. The dude is a fierce competitor and did the hard work to secure his undeniable win!
