This year I am chasing something new and very exciting. I am not going to run @thespeedproject solo this year, but it doesn’t mean I won’t be running ultra long race this year! For now I am focusing on road marathon training on the first part of the year and switching to trails in the summer, to run very exiting ultra long race in a fall!

What’s next? June 18–21 The Broken Arrow SkyRace, California 18K with 3,750 ft / 1,140 m vertical gain 11K with 1,950 ft / 594 m vertical gain 23K with 4,500 ft / 1,372 m vertical gain July 10–12 SOB 100K trail race, Oregon 100K with 10,500 ft / 3,200 m elevation gain August 100 mile / 160 km adventure run on the Wonderland Trail around Mount Rainier, Washington October 9-14 Moab 240, Utah 240 miles / 386 km with 31,892 ft / 9,721 m elevation gain I am pretty nervous about trail season. I’ll give my best for sure, but running such long distances, especially over 200 miles / 320 km only on trails, seems to be very hard for me. But let’s see how the training goes.

Being part of such a big motivational movement, such an inspiring moment in running history, means everything to me. Running is simple. Running is for everyone. Running can change lives, and in one week, Arda changed so many lives through running. The Red Bull team believed in Arda and this project, and that project changed many lives and brought all of us together. This is such an important moment in running history. I never doubted Arda for a second. I knew he could finish it. I definitely doubted myself though. Would I be able to keep up with him? I was ready to say no a couple of days before because I was so scared that I wouldn’t be able to keep up. I am so happy to be part of something that touched so many hearts and inspired so many people. I knew he would finish and finish strong, but I never imagined the impact of this movement. This means more for running than anyone may realize right now. This is bigger than all of us, and we are proud to be part of your journey and your achievement. You are a true LEGEND ARDA, @ardasaatci, and we are all so grateful to be a small part of your journey ❤️ Thank you for being such a bright human and share your journey with all of us.
