David J Meyer

Adding something interesting to my regular training routine - descending stairs between speed reps on the track. Anything for #UltraMarathon success.

Injured 5 weeks out from race day, what now? Follow my ultra-gear and nutrition journey as a first-time ultramarathon runner at The Meyer Perspective. #FirstUltraMarathon #RunningJourney

Thank you, Lord, for this day. May it be used for your glory! Gm, everyone! ☀️

Training for the descent: 'My plan is to build downhill durability in three main ways. Strength Training, Stair Climbs and Trail Running (With Purpose).' #TheMeyerPerspective

'If you climb 11,000 feet...You also have to descend 11,000 feet. And the descending is what will absolutely wreck you.' #TheMeyerPerspective #UltraRunning

'Strength Training - spending time doing heavy single-leg strength work 1–2 times per week, along with one day of plyometric impact work, helps build resilient legs.' #TheMeyerPerspective #StrengthTraining

'Run with joy!' Meyer serves as a testament to parents everywhere that it's possible to balance fatherhood with personal goals. #TheMeyerPerspective #RunJoyfully

'Here we are jumping back into Quest for the Crest #3.' Keep up with David J Meyer's exhilarating journey to tackle one of U.S.'s hardest 50Ks. #TheMeyerPerspective #UltraRunning

'I'm currently training for one of the hardest 50Ks in the country.' The race revolves around a staggering 11,000 feet of elevation. #TheMeyerPerspective #UltraRunning

'11,000 ft of descending creates massive eccentric muscle damage. The kind that makes your legs shaky, and the kind that makes the next climb feel ten times harder.' #UltraRunning #TheMeyerPerspective
