Running a marathon seems like a big deal, but ultra-runners run hundreds of miles over mountains. How do they do it? I never saw an ultra-marathon until I was in one.

The Tigers fell out of sync, hitting only one field goal in the first eight minutes of the second half. “We actually ran our system,” Delaney-Smith said. “We were less frantic. We were balanced and we were stronger and we had team play versus everybody trying to go one-on-one.” Harvard took a 40-39 lead with five minutes remaining in regulation, giving Princeton...
