Interesting article on the LA times site about Mike Pierce training for the Antarctica 100k Ultra Marathon. Can’t say this race is on my to do list… Every year I head back to Saskatoon to visit my parents at Xmas which is enough “cool running” time for me.
Pierce is training for the Antarctic Ultra-Marathon, a 62.1-mile race to be contested in December in perhaps the world’s harshest climate. There being few places in his hometown of Encinitas to simulate the conditions he will face, Pierce trains an average of two days a week in a commercial freezer tucked away in an industrial park near the 805 Freeway.
