No they don’t actually. The only time I’ve been legit tested (at a USADA/WADa enforced level) was after winning the Pikes Peak ascent when it was the WMRA world champs. Otherwise all other “tests” (think like ITRA QUARTZ) are a joke in my experience. I mean I yeah a few guys have been caught at UTMB/Comrades over the years, but compared to road marathons and track events the testing is super lax in ultra-trail

Sage I appreciate the candor. I’ve had friends who’ve met you at ultras and they have nothing but compliments. Big fan

Hempheads don't make good runners.

Totally unreliable. A few years ago i was carpooling to a race with a pothead runner and when I got to his house, he said he didn't feel like racing that day. Made me late, the race already had a winner then I got there.

Icing, he met our club for brunch after the race. Somebody dropped him off so i drove his sorry butt home.

re: dope fiendish

I don't know if weed helps in ultra running, but it certainly does not help in middle distance racing. I conducted my research in the late 70s over 880 yards. Ran a best of 1:58.0, and ran under 2:00 seven or eight times. Best on weed: 2:00.5

Best 2-mile, 9:35. Best on weed, 10:01.

(never tried a mile/1500 on weed)

The problem? Lack of competitive motivation.

A hit of bud is OK for a long run (although I gave that up a long time ago, it's just more fun without weed) - but c'mon, you want an edge in a race, that very edge that weed removes. Yes, you want to run relaxed to do your best, but you don't want to be s-t-o-n-e-d.

I'm an artist by trade; OK so a hit of greenbud can really help there, as long as you don't overdue it.

Weed makes time feel like it slows down. I’ve only been high on one run in my life, a relaxed 4 miles and it was fun. Making time pass more slowly in any race sounds terrible, especially an ultra lasting 10+ hours.
