Above all, if you're not going to enjoy it, don't bother. It's an awful long way, and an awful long time to be miserable.

An UESCA certified ultrarunning coach, JD Hixson enjoys running awfully long ways for an awfully long time an awful lot.
Originally trained as a classical musician, with master and doctoral degrees from The Juilliard School and a CV listing virtuosic solo performances and notable orchestras conducted to artistic and critical acclaim in many of the finest concert halls in the world, he eventually discovered greater fulfillment out on the trails in his running kit than on gilded stages in a tuxedo and more profound happiness covered in mud than choking in the seemingly requisite and cloying fog of Chanel No. 5 at interminable champagne receptions.
Currently, he is preparing for the next Ultra London.
