Dean

Ultramarathon
Written By Mona Angéline

Meet Dean, who's training for a six-day race at Across The Years, a multi-day ultra put on by Aravaipa Running.

As a coach, I'm amazed by Dean's ability to crank out hundred milers and three-day races on a relatively low weekly mileage. He's someone who recovers quickly from hard runs and races without much of an injury history. This will certainly come in handy in such a long race!

Dean is running Rio del Lago 100 miles in just a few days, and we will build from there to his goal of 250 miles in the six-day race.

Good luck with your training, Dean!

She shares her emotions because the world tends to hide theirs. She is a new writer, but her work was recently accepted in Flash Fiction Magazine, Grand Dame Literary, tiny wren lit, Down in the Dirt Magazine, The Viridian Door, The Machine, Whisky Blot Magazine, and The Academy of Mind and Heart.

Sooner or later she will have to condense this list… Mona is also a regular guest editor for scientific journals although she doesn't use a pen name when her engineering PhD degree is involved. She lives bicoastally in Santa Cruz, California, and in New York and savors life despite, or maybe because of, her significant struggles with chronic illness and mild disability.
