Race Report: Merrel Ultra 15k: Back to Running After Dagestan
After nearly a month without proper running training and two intense weeks at an MMA camp in Dagestan, I returned to the trails at the Merrell Istanbul Ultra 15K. The race started well, but after 10K my legs began to fade, and the steep final climbs turned it into a real battle. Exhausting, painful, but exactly the reset I needed to start running again.
