Colorado Runner - Colorado's running news, events and results source

Competitive runners like to set personal bests, if not win races.  Many factors impact how well you can run. Some factors are out of your control, such as heat, humidity, wind, altitude, water conditions, as well as the time of the event, amount of time between events, and perhaps jet lag.

Running is, as we all know, the best form of exercise. Not only is it good for your physical health, but it’s clearly good for your mental health, too – when you’re running, you can focus on your next step and the next one and not have to worry about anything else.

Courtney Dauwalter is the women’s UltraRunner of the Year for 2021. Dauwalter won six races during the year – two of them outright – and set a course record at UTMB.
