I Lost 17 Pounds… Did It Make Running 26 Miles Easier?

I’m 17 pounds lighter, but does losing weight actually make running 26 miles any easier? In this video, I put it to the test with another 26-mile training run as I prepare for my first 100-mile ultramarathon. I had a target pace based on the time I’d like to finish my 100-miler, and this run gave me a chance to see where my fitness really stands. I share how the weight loss affected my running, what happened as the miles added up, and whether my 100-mile goal is starting to feel any more realistic. I still have weight to lose and a long way to go before race day, but I’m making progress. One run, one pound, and one step at a time.
