So far, their coverage has been impressively comprehensive.

Ask me anything

It’s that time again! Your chance to ask me anything you would like. As I always mention, this is always one of my favorite things to do.

Almost nothing is off limits. Feel free to ask me about training, racing, what’s going on at HillRunner.com, or anything else. This is my invitation to you to ask whatever you would like.
