Just a quick story about photo...

It’s our favorite time of year when it begins to feel like winter...and it felt like that today in Harriman State Park, NY! Winter begins next Thursday, December 21st and ends March 19th, 2018. This is a great time of year to head out for a hike!

"When I downloaded my GPS data from Catstail this year, the first “top result” listed was 400 meters in 71 seconds, my second best 400 on Strava. That was how we started the race. I don’t wear my watch for everything, but Catstail is a technical trail marathon with 7k of climb that takes 4.5 hours. Yes, the first 400m is downhill on a road, but that still doesn’t really make 4:44 pace a good idea. To put this in perspective, my mile PR is 4:34. This was a new level of “Coming in hot.”

Here is some footage from a ride on 11.21.17 in the New York Putnam County area.

A few weeks ago, Scott won the Barkley Fall Classic 50k in Tennessee and was awarded a highly coveted slot into the Barkley Marathons next spring.  Scott reached out to me to get some bushwhacking experience...

Here is our video from the 2017 Cat's Tail Trail Marathon! 

So many inspiring stories from the 47th NYC Marathon! For the last 10 years Elizabeth and I make our way into the city to watch over 50,000 runners run through the streets of New York City.

MPF client Matt Murphy shares his story about his first marathon and it just happened to be the 2017 Cat's Tail Trail Marathon in the Catskill Mountains of New York!

What a day it was at the 3rd running of the Cat's Tail Trail Marathon! Here are photos that MPF's Joe & Elizabeth Azze took along the marathon route. 

MPF RNR athlete, Jason Friedman was looking for a replacement for the Vermont 50 because it sold out and he found everything that he expected to with the MOMA 50k...

This one scared me, literally and figuratively. Where do I start? I had hiked many of the trails, which includes several of the hardest trails in the Northeast, and the idea of linking them up into a massive loop seemed like the ultimate White Mountain test piece. It is that and then some.

Within this post Elizabeth writes a little about what she has been up to, along with this year's 54 mile Manitou’s Revenge and the UTMA 165k from the Gaspesie National Park in Canada.

The Vermont 50 & WEEK in ADVENTURE! It was a hot start to the fall season. Temps reached 80º + and the sun was strong. MPF athletes and the MPF RNR Team were all over the East Coast!

Here is some footage I had taken during the race. I hope to have many photos from the day posted later this week so check back! - Joe Azze • MPF

Many from our group took part in the Shawnagunk Ridge Trail races, as well as the Pisgah Trail Race, the Free to Run 50, the Rocky Point 50 MTB race and an epic FKT in NH! Check it out!

MPF Athlete Evan Fineman had registered for this race as a tune up, gear check, and leg check for his upcoming Vermont 50 MTB race in 2 weeks. The distance was the same but that’s where the similarities ended…

How do I get my sleepy posterior chain strong and active? Let’s start with one of my favorites the Kettlebell Deadlift. 

Ben talks about his 2016 race at the Escarpment Trail Run and how his day went chasing after Matthias Lipsey again at the 2017 running of the mountain goats. This was his 18th Escarpment!
