Words to Run By:


Quick Post to share a few great new Ultra running terms.

Ultrabrained

From what I can gather it is a term used to describe the mental state of an ultrarunner in the later stages of a race when mental ability is limited to say the least.

Example:
"I remember seeing you…must have been ultrabrained at the time. I thought you all were going in the wrong direction."


Ultra Shuffle

During a race when you're still moving but it's just at a really slow pace and even if people are passing you there is nothing you can do, it often resembles more of a shuffle than actual running.
