Do you think this is fair? I make 100k right now and about 5 years ago I was making perhaps 78k. Even though on paper it "sounds" cool to hit six-figures, it feels like nothing these days.
I'm in a MCOL-LCOL area but I have to imagine if I were in ANY desireable area (California, NYC, Reno, SLC, Denver, Boston...you get the idea) I'd be on the streets.
My first thought when I read the thread title was, "I've never heard of a 60K race."
There used to be 60k races before they made 50k an official ultradistance.
There are still 60k race distances. Especially in Europe and the Asian mountain running circuit where it's tied more to traversing over the mountains as opposed to going a set distance.
